Does anyone use the "alternative" grenade launchers? Like the smoke launcher, or the shotfun attachment?

UAV+smoke= all types of fun. If you run into a match where the opposing team has a lot of recon class, use the smoke alt attachment for the UAV. Then you can smoke them out all match, just fire the smoke rounds right in front of their position. Recon class and smoke do not mix. Good way to piss off snipers.

No. I'd use the smoke if I had an organized Recon who could C4 the MCOM while arming it and then we could probably single-handedly hold 'em off.

I see the shotgun attachment the same way I saw it in MW2, just something you earn and then forget about.

The HE launcher is way overpowered I think. 50% of my deaths are the result of a HE round in my face.

the shotgun is indeed pretty useless, especially if you switch to using it from a real shotgun. it needs 2 rounds at least, otherwise you might as well just switch pistol

The shotgun is ruff unless your have an amazing ping. That one shot can kill people if you hit them in the face with it.

I have been playing around with the smoke launcher and its pretty useful depending on the level. The cover it provides is key if its a snipe fest.

The smoke is actually very effective. Lay down an ammo crate, then start raining smoke bombs all over a Rush site. Then go in there with a knife or shotgun OR let the rest of your squad go in.

When snipers are up on a ridge, shoot smoke just below the ridge line and they're screwed. with the crate down, you can shut snipers down--as long as they don't see you first.

I actually prefer the smoke to the HE grenade. Don't get me wrong, the HE is great on small maps where enemies tend to bunch up, but the smoke grenade can get you out of a lot of bad situations, especially if you like playing a more aggressive Assault.

Shotgun is incredibly fun if you use it right, most times i put out a shot and then peg them with 1 bullet from the pistol or the actually AR and they go down, and like someone said, defending an M-com from defuse = loads of laughs at the other teams expense, I've actually gotten a triple kill with it before.

Smoke on the other hand is MUCH more useful, sure you lose HE rounds but tactically it can be really useful... like covering a tank rush off to the side

I shoot smoke at campers when the entire rush team is sniping and won't go after the objective.

I use the smoke launcher to help my recon units guide mortar strikes in. The smoke is good for marking targets, buildings, tanks, etc. Also the shotgun can be reeaaalllyyy good. On the 360 I use it when I cover M COMS, and I can sometimes get 2 guys at once as they rush to disarm.
