You see, that's the funny thing. I haven't used the launcher since I picked up mt first red dot site because of the limitations of it.
Honestly, you might as well say it takes amazing skill to rack up kills in Q3 with a Rocket Launcher....
There's no straight grenade launcher probably because it was overpowered in pretty much any game that had them just to be disabled by server admins. SoF2 and even GoldenEye had them, they were bad but they were still harder to use than the M203 in COD4 (due to an actual flight arc, projectile speed and lower splash damage).
You're saying the AIMS-20 launcher and MGL are harder to use than the M203? They're like explosive bullets! It doesn't take much skill to fire an M203 into a crowd down the street, but it does to fire it into a window 200 feet away.
I was referring to the MM-1 in SoF2 and whatever the nade launcher was called in N64 GoldenEye. My point was that it would actually take skill with those weapons to fire through an elevated window at 200 feet since those weapons actually had a uniform arc which limited its range and accuracy, unlike the M203 which hits its peak and then flattens out on a fixed trajectory without any drift (RPG-7 for instance has both vertical and horizontal drift in COD4).
