If the noob tube has got you down, use it yourself for a little while. This isn't like the blackhawk issue, where there was only one team that got it. No matter who you are, you can be a noob-tuber, too!

As I've said, as bogus as it is for someone to be able to use the n00b tube as a shotgun, it's the one redeeming quality of assualt. Think about it, a medic gets the same gun, PLUS 5 grenades, INFINITE medpack, and a device that can bring fallen teammates back to life. An assualt soldier gets 5 tube rounds and just 1 lousy smoke grenade. The smoke grenade is nearly useless (note I say nearly), so in order for this game to be balanced, that n00b tube needs to be pretty darn good.

With all the new unlocks I rarely people using it. My question why would you want to? I never pick that weapon and I have a way higher score than the noob tubers.

Yea Ea will Derank your server or even wipe all your clans stats to 0, thats what they did to Knife and Pistol only servers,

I just hate it when they kill thereselfs, I think Sucides by your own weapon should be like -6 that might cauase a few to rethink fireing into a dude less then
1 foot away

Well lets look at this problem from a different point of view...Why do people use the "Newb" Tube as I like to call it. Maybe its the most realistic weapon in the game. I for one HATE shooting 2 3 shot burst into a mec with an M-16 and not killing him...solution shove a 'Newb Tube' up his @$$ and pull the trigger. What EA needs to do is make the weapons stronger so Newb Tubers don't have the final word. Example, why do I have to shot a person with a .50 cal sniper rifle 2 times to kill him...and why is it so inaccurate. My solution is simple...Keep the newb tube as is. Turn all weapon damage up by 2 times, this way a newb tuber woun't have the chance to get you from far way...make suicides worth -8 to detter both Jihad Jeeps and close range newb tubes...Give the medics more power so more people will want to be them.

In short keep the Newb tubes...make the weapons more realistic to neutrilize the effect of the newb tubes.

Noob cannon? Is that because it kills noobs? Because if your good you can out shoot them pretty easily.

Why? Didn't we suffer through this in in DC with the Saiga 12k and the VSS? Why now, in BF2, must we tolerate the grenade launchers? Dubbed the "n00b cannon" for a reason, the GP-30 and it's counterparts are used, predominantly, as a Close Quarters Combat weapon by players who are completely unskilled with every other gun. Thanks to EA and DICE's weapons physics, these unskilled n00bs are able to launch a grenade to a target less than 6 feet away and not die with their enemy.

Anyway, to make a long story longer, this ****es me off to no end.

I know of several servers that BAN for the use of the grenade launchers. I suspect my clan server will be doing the same shortly.

If you and your clan wanna
make up stupid little rules cos you can't work out a tactic to defeat this problem then good on ya. Just don't expect anyone to follow them.
