It is a known bug which persists since the release of the first normandy map.

In the Overlord Beach Assault Layout normal grappling hooks would not reach the top of the cliffs. Thats why they increased the strength of the throw. After changing to other maps it seems that those settings do not get resetted correctly.

It's known. The bug is not that you can throw it that far, it's that those settings stick during your BF2 session. We've taken a couple of steps on Overlord so we don't need that anymore. It'll be normal in the next version.

I have noticed that when you throw the grapling hook it dissapears quickier than in previous version, is it on purpose or a bug?

[AfterDune]

Nothing has changed there.
