I don't want to look like a noob but i really suck with the GL ..
There must be someone who want to share his secret how to aim/own with the GL.
Thanks

I'm not an expert by any means... but use the GL in the same way you'd use a grenade.
- make sure your target is in a tight space, like a hallway. You can hit people in the middle of a field, but it's just not as effective.
- use the range marks on your targeting reticle to place the shots as close as possible to your victim.
- practice for a few minutes in single player mode to get the basics.

Practice practice practice until you can judge how high you should aim. The crosshair is good for a general direction but its not really usefull ranging targets.
look at the (scope) of the GL
fire on something at an even plane 3x and see where it falls
do the same at the bottom of a hill looking up, then top of the hill looking down
you'll remember in-game

They can explode against walls, floors and can even rebound around walls to. A good place to practise is the Palace on Warlord. Its full of whores...so plenty of target practise and ammo If you get the third floor...GL down into the 2nd floor spawn and the guys crouching behind the wall. Good practise.
Even better...practise from the 2nd floor nade launching up to the third. Put a GL at the guy whos always on the mounted gun, hit the wall behind him and hes dead. Always fun to do when you wana kill all them whores
Then learn to run around and do it, putting that practise to use. Just beware of becoming too dependant upon it...like I did a while back

Each marking is 10m... (10 something..feet? doesn't really mater)
Just go fire it off a bit,its actual really easy to aim once you get some practice.
I hardly ever use it anymore, but I used to use assult all the time, and I never really had any problems dropping one on target in an open field. just learn to use the scope and estimate distance.

I have problems aiming with it because the trajectory becomes completely retarded if you fire while moving. Practice shooting it while strafing left and right and moving back and forth to get a feel for how it changes.
Only thing I can say is practice. To be effective with it, you must get the arc distance down, and then you will pwn.
Practice with it - as above learn the arcs and how to judge distance. Or just aim at someones feet 5ft away .
Another thing to learn is how to get a grenade over a vertical wall - e.g on karkand @ market with US above you and you being spammed below - bounce it upwards against the wall and a nice vertical arc should form killing all the whores above you \o/

Switch to the gun and shoot them in the face until they die, then pull out the grenade launcher and T-Bag them.
Malloy must go
Use the ticks on the reticle to judge your range. Have the guy's feet at the bottom horizontal bar, and if he's really far away and the top of his head only reaches up to the 2nd or 3rd bar, that's your range. You'll be aiming up a little to get it there. If he's fairly close, feet at the bottom, and head all the way at the top, that's your range. Kinda hard to explain it, but practice and you'll get the feel of it..
After a fair few hours of using it, it comes down to a mix of physics and estimation (or, you get a general feel of where it is going to go).
Believe it or not, i'm not the best at aiming while the target is within the crosshair, but when the target is outside of the crosshair (ie: you have to aim the GL up in the air to reach the person) i'm very good. I can pull off 50m+ shots...what I do is estimate the first shot, watch where it hits and then aim the second one higher/lower depending on where the first one hit...
I rarely use the GL but when I do its lots of fun pulling off 50-100m shots...especially across the jalala lake

Shooting downwards: always use the top bar
Shooting upwards (for range or whatever): you need to 'feel' the right bar to use for this, but youre better of with a bullet here anyway. Just aim at peoples feet when close.

just like any other thing in bf2, practice
Yeah, practice.... that´s the secret...
Many people are glad that they nerfed the GL, but not me...
It was so cool to take out a bunch of dorks or a car trying to road kill you....
So many good memories from those days....
*sniff* I miss it so much.... *sniff*
After I started to play Ghost Recon Advanced warfighter I have become much crappier with the GL cause it´s a lot more powerful there....Well who gives a shit about that anyway....

Reallyb it's all bout practice, you can try and use it like a nade but each one has it's different range, so just play about with them and it's all good. :p
