Yeah nerf the m79 so everyone starts using steyr, ak and hk.That way youll have a BORING game, where you cant get to the other flag cause everyone is just spraying bullets("OH BUT YOU CAN DODGE THEM", you can dodge the m79 kamikaze guy too.).

No. Almost entirely just the noobs that camped/ran up kamikaze style with barret. All this would do is make people who lame around use other guns.
Most people hate the M79 because it's overused.The best solution? Make people want to use other weapons!How do you do that? Buff everything else up!Remember, the M79 is not overpowered. It's overused.
I think it should have a bigger splash damage radius, so the carrier would get hurt, when shooting at 5m distances. Also, the argument "Dodge!!111 noob!1111one" is ridiculous, even if the grenade flies pretty slowly, Soldat just isn't Unreal Tournament. There are situations where you CAN NOT dodge and the grenade still is ~25m away from you.I think this COULD lower the problem's intensity:Splash damage radius = 1/4 of the range of the weapon Why? Because this is the problem of the M79 usage! You can just run into the enemy, shoot him at 6m and continue your rampage, because he will die, when hit. And he won't be able to dodge if you're used to the M79 nade behavior and fire correctly.
hoopstar_4_2002: so if you dont mind me askin this, what do you like in womenViceroy: Organs.
Please do not compare it with the barret when it comes to balancing it with the start up time. The barret is a sniper rifle and the start up time doesn't affect it(you can fire from very far away). While the M79 is very close range weapon and a start up time would mean instant death.
M79 has much shorter range
And it's up to you not to be to close and to learn dodging.
You are clearly biased, like most spraytards.

Depending on the map, there's not much you can do against a M79'er before he gives you the close-up money-shot, other than what I said above.

Depending on the map, there's not much you can do against a M79'er before he gives you the close-up money-shot, other than what I said above. first, "money-shot?"Second, this is why we have long-range weapons, especially the sniper rifle you compare it to. You cant list every situation a weapon is good in and expect us to agree with you, because every weapon has its niche, and you should aim for that niche whenever you use that weapon. If youre using an AK-47, you fight at range. If youre using a Saw, you get as close as you damn well can. And if "kamikaze rushing" works well with the m79, then gosh darnit, kamikaze rush.
SDFilm, your point was M79 is cheap, which most experienced players shoulde realise it's not true.
I despise the M79, but the reason why I'm not talking with the other Beta testers to nerf it is because it's not overpowered, it's just cheap; it acts as a good introductory weapon for newbs. The M79 is the weapon that lets you play in games without having such a nasty learning curve to grasp. If the newb gets better at the M79 he can decide to use a more challenging *cough*respectable*cough* weapon or they can try to get those harder medium-range M79 shots. Or if they really don't feel like challening themselfs, they can stick to the 'run&boom' "tactic" of M79ing.The M79 is annoying, but Soldat needs it's newbs for it's playerbase to grow.
Not that I'm against M79 startup time. M79 should be harder to use than other weapons, simply because, let's face it, for most people it's the coolest weapon in the game. They have a reason, it's the only primary which shoots explosives, it has a nice arc and lets you do tricks. And if people can choose between equal weapons, they will usually choose the coolest one.
in my opinion m79 is a pro gun cause trying to kill a guys whos spraing the sh(t out of u with one of the m79 shells is pretty hard aaaa???
anyways if ur talking about noob guns u have to make a post for ruger, rugers is the most noob weapon i ever seen in my life really is just like a backup weapon to me
