Assault Kit + G3 = Pwned.

No matter what I type here, you will not be able to get the same effect as when you play with it yourself. Try it, you won't regret it.

That thing is a killing MACHINE.

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'm with this guy 100%, ppl didnt use assault because of using assault, ppl used assould for the noobtube and nothing else, most of ppl that used assault used to have like 3000 kills with GL and 100 with assault rifle and thats just moronic.

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

I think assault should be much better than the other classes in infantary duels and thats not what happens.

That's because DICE decided to give medics assault rifles instead of a less-powerful gun like an SMG or carbine. In 1942 medics were given SMGs (Thompson, MP40, Sten, etc.) while only the Assault class had the bigger ARs (StG44, BAR1918, etc.). Since DICE gave medics and assaults the same weapons in BF2 (minus the GL - unlocks are different too, obviously) their killing power is just about the same, and with the advent of the G36E - arguably the best all-around AR in the game - being given to medics, it did indeed nerf the usefulness of the assault class. They should have kept with the 1942 tradition in only giving the assault rifles to the true 'Assault' class. Medics still have the ability to heal the sick and raise the dead, but when you give them weapons that are every bit as accurate and powerful as the class that was designed to be a front-line flag-capping class, it changes from the Medic class to the Jesus class.

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

Didnt end it for me.... Used assault the most, still do, pwns on infantry maps, even w/out the GL like it used to be. Took me some getting used to, but I can still kill up close with it when needed...I've just used my rifle more now and still rolling up kills.

My only real complaint w/GL is the arming distance vs. vehicles specifically. I can bounce one off the ground 15' from me and kill someone, but I send one at a spawn camping Vodnik 30' away and it bounces off the side like it was made of rubber....f'ing sucks

i use the assault rifle way more than the nade launcher. Only time the grenade launcher comes out is when a non armoured vehicle is passing by or when i see a group of people running together at a distance. In a one on one fire fight i will use the the rifle every time.

anyone love to snipe snipers with the G3 in single shot? Try it sometime, you will be surprised at the accuracy and power.

just looked at my stats and i have 1400 assault rifle kills to only 159 grenage launcher kills.

The grenade launcher is still easily usable if you aren't a total moron.

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

I want to see EA/Dice give the G3 a a bigger clip. Is it too much to ask for 10 more bullets? I love the G3 and the F2000. I love killing support guys with my gl. They go prone and I gl them before they can shoot more than 3 bullets. :)

I'm with you both. When I'm with my F2000 I only use the noob-tube to help destroy vehicles.

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

I have always thought that the assault brings the least amount of benefit to the battlefield. It has no "special ability" ie healing/revive, ammo, AT, repair, etc. There is no reason to pick it over any other class....yes even sniper. At least with sniper you can land some nice distance head shots.

Total hours played....406.....total hours played as assault....3hr50min...

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

I like the Assault kit myself. Never really used it much until a few weeks ago. I started using the regular weapons. It's fun but the kit needs more smoke nades indeed.

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

I used to like it, then the accuracy of the grenade launcher went. I used to fire them into the car seats and if it didn't blow, I would've killed the driver or all his passenger's. These day's I don't use it because I prefer the accuracy of other guns, and their added abilities.
Supports killing power and Unlimited Ammo. I find the G3 runs out too soon before you reload, and there's not many reloads as it is. 5 Grenade's needed to be used sparingly without support.
Specs C4 and accuracy. I hate not being able to blow a tank or APC, so helpless! Assualt is good for infantry but so is specs?? And at long range I can still aim better. I don't have SF so it's the basic or G3.
AT Rockets, tanks and APCs, And one shot kills more accurate than a grenade launcher, and guessing game on distance with nade's.
Meds, I can heal myself and get points from other's. The gun is more accurate at a distance with a scope on single shot.
Sniper, ermm distance from death and claymore's for defense requiring no personally triggered timing to shoot and aim unlike the nade's.
Engie, driving stuff :) mining and repairing. Shot gun is the BEST close-Close quarter

All up, I never end up going Assualt since the patch was updated. I miss the fact a nade launcher could kill a heli bugging you in 2 clean hit shots

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

AK is still my favorite gun, I wish they didn't reduce the grenade splash so much though, its a grenade for gods sake. Assault is my 3rd choice after eng and med.

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

Bottom Line, is the Assault kit a dying breed?

hell no, i still noob tube infantry and snipe with my G3

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

G3 is a fun gun. Full auto, high damage, pretty accurate, excellent for the aggressive but tactical assault player. Even works at medium range.

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

I love playing assault, still play it more than any other class. All of the assualt weapons are good for different reasons and style of play. I still use the M-16/203 in some circumstances (when I'm ****ed it's easy to use) even though I have both the other unlocks.
