You don't hear anything like this over in BC2 - where folks rolling Assault not only have mated GLs by default, but never have to worry about running out of shells.
Probably because BC2 has longer engagement ranges, meaning that scoring kills with a grenade launcher tends to be harder. You have to figure out the elevation of the round to get a kill. Modern Warfare is predominantly close qaurters combat, so there's this perception that a grenade launcher guarantees you at least a couple of insta kills.
