How the noobtube thing ended the use of a KIT?

[Bubas]

I am an average player, but since the patch that nerfed the noobtube, I allways seem to be the best assault player in my team.
The main reason for this, I think, is that almost everybody prefers to use the Medic or Support Kit than the assault one, so most of the times I am the only one playing as assault.
So, with all the crying went the suposedely best kit for close range fights with other infantry.
I started to play as a medic recently (I know it is long after they nerfed the noob tube) and my accuracy, K/D ratio and SPM stats raised exponencially...I think I will never use again the Assault kit.

I really like the noobtube, and I have a good accuracy with it principaly at long ranges (overal 65% hit accuracy), but if I miss the shot some seconds later I die(normally I have no time to swap weapon), and if I use it on the vehicles they just pass by me without a chance of destroying them..two to three shots needed to destroy a jeep or vodnik.

Bottom Line, is the Assault kit a dying breed?

Yup the assault class is pretty much useless, not that I even had much of a use before.

You still get armor though, which the medic does not. The G3 is also not a bad gun either.

Why should I?

i like the assault class at times. has my magical f2000. sometimes i just lay down, take 3 single shots, and only hit the enemy at 100m once, and headshot him, when i'm aiming at his feet! as i said, it's my magical gun. sometimes i kill people in 2 shots at closerange, othertimes i unload entire clips and hit them once...but it is still a beautiful gun.

I love G3, so I use it a lot when playing assualt. Great gun, able to kill enemies with 3 shots. :evil:

If you only used it for the noob tube, then you are a noob. If you still use for combat, then you are an assult soldier

I also like the assautl class, i have over 6000 kills with it.

The g3 is THE most powerful gun in the game (if its used right). Also you can use the g3 for sniping, two well placed hits and there gone. Plus... if you cant be bothered hadning out stuff and reviving people the the assault class is fine. Lastly, when playing assault you have armour so.... less damage to you from bullets. Anyhoo. grenade launcher- if you have a good accuracyw with it.. is a deasly weapon, the only reason it aint used now is becoz the noobies cant kill people with it

G3 is powerful, i was commander the other day, and 3 soldiers were about to, assult, one of my assult soldiers. So I pointed them out for him, and he was hidding around a corner, then i see all three soldiers turn the corner and see them all drop with a single G3 mag.

assault class rocks. Play assault 70% of the time. Love the G3 and F2000. At times the F2000 seems unstoppable. Only thing that is tuff about assault is dealing with armor. Although if you take cover and have your squad help you then they are no problem.

The nade launcher is best at distances and always has been. If you needed it to shoot point blank at the ground to kill someone then you need more practice. I am very glad they changed that.

As I said, normaly I don´t use and didn´t use gL to shoot at close ranges.
And by the way, I think now it is much easier to use gl at point blank range, shoot at your feet and the grenade bounces away from you and you almost never die (small blast radious), killing the adversary in the process.

The problem is that with a Medic I raised my stats because the weapon accuracy is better (G3 is very good at close range but I seem to fare a lot better with the unlocks of the medic).
The armour of the assault kit is good, but the med pack is better, so as a Medic, some rounds I mange 5:1 k/d ratios and with assault after you engage 1 or 2 enemies you´re left with almost no health and dependent of a Medic.
I think assault should be much better than the other classes in infantary duels and thats not what happens.

If you only used it for the noob tube, then you are a noob. If you still use for combat, then you are an assult soldier

One day I will make a thread "What is your definition of a noob?" .
This word must be the one with the most diferent meanings in bf2.

Toss a flashbang/smoke grenade and watch 'em freak out as they expect C4 at any moment. Some fools will actually get out--allowing you to steal it!

Re: How the noobtube thing ended the use of a KIT?

Assault seems to be a 'frags only' class - you don't contribute anything else to the team bar kills. The smoke grenade is useful, but you only get one, so after you use it you're not that useful. They need some other 'skill' that benefits the team - all the other classes seem to.

Re: How the noobtube thing ended the use of a KIT?

Play the Special Forces expansion, it's still useful with the flash bang and grapple hook, plus it's more infantry focused so you'll have other soft targets to go up against.

I wish they wouldn't have taken away it's ability to take out a hummer/vodnik, that bounce thing screws me up the most.
