Perhaps the "fix" to the n00b tube is to make it have a minimum distance?

DICE/EA easy-to-do list:

stop bunny hopping - not done
- limit the number of contious jumps/do no allow jumping with ZERO stamina
- reduce the accuracy dramaticly while jumping

stop prone jumping - not done
- add a "stand up time" in order to prevent proned people flying around

stop nubtubes - not done
- implement a minimum safe distance/time

stop spawncamping - not done
- implement TRUE random spwan points in a certain radius around a flag

those are all requests that can be done "relatively" easy and all of them have a way higher priority than those 120 graphic bugs that have been "fixed" with 1.03.

Speaking of the M203.... have you ever looked as straight up as you could and fired it? It's like mini-arty.

I think that if you fired it straight down it should act like the grenade launcher in BF1942 SW.

Ive heard people bitch about using them at really close like a shotgun and killing themselves too. I can take that on board. But now ya wanna bitch about them at long range too??
How about taking them completey out of the game. OR even better take out all then guns expect yours.

I think you misunderstood the point. He's saying it shouldn't arm until it's 5m's away. So it would eliminate people using the noob cannon exclusively as a long and close range weapon.

Stop your whineing! Its (the granade launcher) as good a weapon as any other the way it is. There are worse problems that need fixing besides this. Like the ingame red name tag bug or being revived with no kit. Personally, if I thought it bugged you (getting shot at close range) like you claim I would do it to you as often as I could to negatively affect your game play. Afterall if you are ****ed about getting shot at close range you wont play as well as normal.

Just learn to shoot the Bunny hoppers. Yes its hard to do but the more you try the better you get at it. Ive gotten to where I can kill them 50% of the time before they kill me. A lot better than it used to be. And as you already know most people grow out of the bunny hop stage as thier skills increase. There are a lot of better tactics to use in close quarters combat and most people soon discover this fact.

In the mean time these things are just part of the game, get over it. Red

Why don't you stop making stupid threads about the same thing and play the game. Maybe you will learn tactics to defend against "noob tubes". Next you will complain about C4 and you can't detonate it more than 5m away or some more silly ******** to post about. Play the game and stop whinning.

GL is totally fine

Well, how about having the arming distance, like 5 or 10 meters or what ever, but if you shoot it at someone real close, it wouldn't kill you but injure you to maybe 3/4 health, that way no more up close lame kills, and that way you know for sure that as soon as he plugs you with the 203 round, he has to switch weapons, which, by the time he switches his weapon, he'll be dead. That would prevent alot of "noob tubing" i believe.

Perhaps the fix to the n00b tube is to make the killed player think that he was shot instead. :)

Re: Perhaps the "fix" to the n00b tube is to make it have a minimum distance?

I don't know why people whinge about this. If I shoot a GL at my feet I die. up to 5m away I die. Only people who don't die at close range are bunny hopping so there's your problem not the GL.

There is nothing wrong with the GL get over it, sick of everyone whinging about it. The only noob thing with the GL is killing yourself at close range.

The Bunny hop is an easy fix, just add a 1 second slow-down time after each jump... it would make it pointless to jump constantly.
