You can see my stats, I'm not a professional "noobtuber" and my favourite kit is Special Ops (and I have a good SPM) BUT...

-I think it's totally stupid to make a "minimum distance before arming" for the grenade launcher.
The grenade launcher is now totally useless and what is the advantage now of spawning in Assault? the flashbang???

-Medics have same weapons as assault and better unlocks (G36E...) without the nade launcher (but now it's not a big disadvantage) and with this stupid thing of defibrillator. Totally unreallistic but it's a machine to make points (xxx[LAV25]yyy,"MEDIC!",CLEAR!", xxx[LAV25]yyy,"MEDIC!",CLEAR!",xxx[LAV25]yyy,"MEDIC!",CLEAR!",etc,etc,...).
And without the defibrillator, statpadding would be impossible...

-You should be REALLY STUPID to spawn in assault now!

What's your opinion?

Agreed, the patch has seriously disadvantaged certain kits. The medic and support kits are now unbelievably overpowered. The medic has the L85 or G36E, both kick major ass, you can heal yourself and your paddles change without even being held. The support guns are stupidly accurate, coupled with their rate of fire, damage and ammo count they are deadly. Not to mention unlimited ammo.

The main bonus of the assault kit (GL) has been completely ruined. I don't care what anyone says, but the blast radius is completely unrealistic and more often than not, my grenade disappears, yes disappears rather than bouncing. And no, I'm not an assault whore or noobtuber, I prefer the medic kit but I liked the option to play a wide array of balanced kits, which has been destroyed.

Minimum distance before arming?

I can shoot it at my feet and kill myself just as you could before the patch...

If that was true, why do vehicles such as the FAV and DPV only get dropped to just under half HP from a direct hit when before they were taken down in one? Also, the blast redius is significantly reduced. As I have already mentioned, the way the projectile bounce is calculated is absolutely horrible, and more often than not ends up with the grenade disappearing and never exploding or it getting stuck.

Personally I don't give it shit, I'm playing as medic/specop these days, I'm just disappointed that a lot of variety has been taken out of the game due to the poor patch.

rubbish the buggies are instant kills with the gl still - happy days for me today
the gl bounce isnt perfectly realisitic but it is the same everytime so just learn to use it
bouncing the damn thing round corners for kills, off the bloody roof of warehouses, off friendly tanks onto a hostile spec ops trying to c4 on the opposite side to me had me laughing my ass off

The grenade launcher is now the deadliest weapon the infantry possess in the game - before it was a simple shell now its a killing machine that with skill will make you rack up kills like crazy

Does the GL's projective fly slower too? I swear to God it feels like I'm in the Matrix when I shoot it and feel like crap because the dude I'm shooting at highly resembles Neo and then he doesn't die.

I agree though, the blast radius has been greatly reduced and using assault feels too... weird now. Assault, so far, is my most used kit but I don't intnetionally go killing people with the Grenade Launcher attachment all the time, it just happens to be more convenient because in the previous patch, it was the only way to sort out bunnyhoppers because the blast radius actually killed them by knocking 'em out under their feet and sending 'em flying 10-20 feet higher than they originally jumped. Using assault is just too... I guess unexciting now, I've found myself to start using AntiTank alot more now, one of my most LEAST used kits and AT has never done me any grace in the game, until now, and I DON'T have the P90, I'm still sporting the DAO-12 LOL.

But back to topic, yes, Assault has lost most of it's sweet, sweet justice that came with the GL, the minimum distance thing didn't bother me.... but now when I shoot at a guy with a GL and he's running because he sees my GL, the blast radius no longer catches him, when it should.

The gun is the best benifit to the assualt kit, remember that thing that is attached to the GL?  The GL still kills people, and the spec ops guys shouldn't be chucking c4 around anyway, who cares if that's gone.  Just shoot,stab, or grenade enemies instead, it works.  If you come upon a tank you just have to be a little stealthier or leave it up to ur tank or anti tank troops.

Tbh anyone that cares about changes to the nade launcher is a noob noobtuber, if u cant hit someone from 200 game ft dont use the gun. I care not for the arming distance because it will only effect 5% of my shots, i generally shoot over 50ft with the nade launcher. What does piss me off is when ppl run round corners and just shoot at like 5ft and get u. I hope the patch has changed this.

A weapon is a weapon.... Until you cry... Then its Unfair... Well After bouncing GL shots off of oncoming enemy cars. Then getting killed. I would personally just like to thank EA, For Raping the Assault class without a reach around. Thank you for taking my GL away and giving me a superball instead. For those of you who dont know, a superball is that really bouncy ball you get out of a gumball machine.... THANKS AGAIN EA

What do u mean by raping the assualt class?  I use the assualt class all the time and I barely ever touch the grenade launcher, the assualt kit is good with or without the grenade launcher.

Come on, the Gl needed some tuning.  When you got 3/4 of the assualt class users only using the noobtube its bound to get people pissed off.  The Min distance removes the "I Win" button from the assualt class in close quarter combat.  Its now much more balanced.  Assualt still has some of the deadliest rifles so flip the switch and use your bullets. 

Also, I'm glad you no longer have a one shot one kill with the noob tube against jeeps and such.  A hand tossed grenade does no where near the same dmg that the noob tube does and now the two are more purportioned.

dudes, ur missing the fact the kit has body armor and a kick ass rifle, who cares if the GL bounces, bounce the thing off the ground and at the FAV or something. or just shoot the grenade at the guy's head... (I say this cause I managed to kill 2 guys doing this, the medic just ran through the fence and i shot a grenade at him, it hit his head and he fell over the grenade goes through the hole in the fence killing the guy running down the hill to the hole...)
