N00b t00bing ethics

[Fall0ut]

I know this has been discussed, ranted, complained, spit on, ran over, ranted, complained about, discussed many many times.

Well this has a twist to it.

I have just gotten into the art of n00b t00bing. But settle down, this was only for a day. I noticed that I could take out anyone without a problem. Now combine n00b t00bing with bunny hopping and I am unstoppable. Then I remembered how much people here hated those n00b toobers. Then I though about it and stopped... for now.

I was never really an Assualt player, until the SF expansion. What really made me start playing was getting n00b t00bed by the other team, and then loosing by p00p load. This made me want to counter them, so I grabbed the n00b t00b, plus I got a nice handy set of flash bangs and a grapple hook.

Now in this game, grenades have this really really tiny blast radius which makes using the grenade launcher at long distances almost useless. In games like Americas Army, it was used like it was meant to be used, but in here, you see a guy really far, shoot, the nade hits like 3 feet away and he still runs, and actually you are lucky to hit 3 feet away from him at a far distance. So basically the n00b t00b is useless and long distances. At medium distance its not too bad, especially when the enemies are lined up against a wall or solid object. There is no nade travel limit like in Americas Army, so basically you can shoot 1 meter in front of you and it will still explode.

What really keeps me from n00b t00bing is the fact that I know I don't even give the enemy a chance. But once I lay down my n00b t00b, i get n00b t00bed from 2 feet away by another retard n00b t00ber.

What are your opinions...

OK. I'll bite and show some ignorance. What's the n00b t00b? I play assault all the time but don't understand what that is.

You get 5 grenades. Not a big issue. Blow your wad and then fight toe to toe like the rest of us grunts.

n00b t00b = newb tube = grenade launcher (m203/gp).

Re: N00b t00bing ethics

EA should simply patch to only 2 hand grenade and 2 M203 nades.

Remember, the begining of the game,Strike @ karkand, theres more explosion than shooting.

Re: N00b t00bing ethics

n00b tubing is awsome. The only way to do it that is actually fun though is "bombing" them. I do that on karkland when american or MEC. If american I stand at the edge of the hill and pelt grenades at the other team. Then once my side moves the line back to their camp I move out and help fight.

The reason I do this is because I can hit just about anything. Whenever waiting for a jet or heli to respawn I normally practise shooting long ranged objects. I can hit pretty much anything moving or not.

Everyone who n00b tubes actaully sucks, i tried it once because i ws just getting ****ed off, and i managed to take them all out without taking any damage, they all have the reaction times of sloths.

Re: N00b t00bing ethics

I got the terminology, just did not know what weapon it was. I don't get fragged very much by it.

Re: N00b t00bing ethics

So this tactic is not a very mobile one, just a spam one eh? I don't use it and have not been on the recieving end of it much so it has not been a big deal to me as of yet.

Unfortunately there are more cheap players out there than truly good ones with the goal of winning. Most of them end up as cannon fodder when they run into somone with any modicum of skill.

I always find these threads interesting because the people with in-game ethics will rail on those lacking them. I equate this n00b t00b thing to be at the same level as say a spawn camper or vehicle stealer. It's a player quality issue.

Not if it's me, no one can kill me when I have my n00b t00b with me.

That is why I question the ethics of n00b t00bing.

Re: N00b t00bing ethics

if only I could line up all the people that complain about people using a weapon in the game, stand on their throat and put the 203 in their mouth before firing it.

It's not an exploit, it's a weapon. If you don't feel it's an honorable way to use it then set up your own server and kick people who don't feel the same way.

Useless rant, please lock.
