N00b t00bing ethics

Re: N00b t00bing ethics

Best advice I've seen in this entire thread ... the rest of you should read this.

Everyone complains about noob-tubers -- no one actually posts about how you can counter these.

So go ahead, tell us how to counter.

When I play with the n00b t00b, there is no counter for me.

If you start shooting at me, all I have to do is hop real fast and lay down in the air, otherwise bunnyhopping and dolphine diving. They cant kill me.

Manouvre and correct use of cover, tr to avoid situations where you might simply run into someone (not always possible when storming a flag). Always be ready to strafe (maybe even a "shock and horror" jump to one side) out of the way because if he does miss you have yourself a guaranteed kill...

Use the assault rifle the way it was designed and maintain distance. If you see him first then it should not matter what weapon he is carrying.

But this is all obvious and the truth is at very short range there is no real defence other than luck.

I have to agree with the minimum range if such a thing could be implimented, or a larger splash damage radius so that NT'ing would be guaranteed suicide.

Re: N00b t00bing ethics

IRL the M203's grenade needs to fly a minimum distance before it will explode to stop people blowing themselves up with it.

It has to travel somewhere between 15-30m before it will arm. This sounds like a good thing to add to the game. Maybe change that to 10m, just something to stop the point blank shotgunning.

Exactly the point I was going to make. It is rather annoying being killed by a monkey who can press a mouse button!

You ever tried jumping out of the way?

Remember a noob-tuber is going to shoot the ground in front of you ... if you're not on the ground when he shoots then you won't be killed.

If he tries attacking you head on, just go into a dolphin dive and he won't hit you. Its not like you can't see that grenade heading towards you.

Re: N00b t00bing ethics

I will have to admit that I use the Noob Tube a lot.

Did you see all the people on here crying about this noob toob? It really bugs them to no end and probably affects, lowers, thier level of play when in game. See, do you really see, this. I am able to go from my computer to your computer and get inside your head and lower your playing ability! That is why I do it, and no other reason. My three favorite shots are poping someone at about 100 meters or that sniper on the roof by the wall, and dont forget the guy chaseing me, I like to run jump do a 180 degree spin pop off a shot and fall behind a wall. I can hear them crying now.....Oh I also think its about time someone told you guys the weapon that owns the noob toob. Its the....

I wouldnt do that. Its the jackhammer. Just jump and fire almost instant death on any noob toober. Im suprised no one noticed this before. The DAO is the second best choice but you need to use both at close range and try and shoot at the noobies neck (not hard keep it pointed about chest high, jump fire just like that). Oh and that little voice inside your head, the one that says "**&%@$$ noob tuber" yeah that one, its me.....Red..LOL

Need I say more?

Welcome to the Marines, where we will be teaching you how to jump 6' straight up into the air, while carrying a full combat load, and to shoot explosive bullets while doing so.

Why do people always have to try exploit things?

Re: N00b t00bing ethics

Shotguns works pretty well, You can jump over thier groundshots and take minimal damage, then, while they scramble to reload, blast them in the face withthe shotgun



However, if you ever try to play in a clan match, try to aviod using it, and............you will lose

My only reply to Kayback Is that I look foward to seeing you in game, Nuff said....Red

Re: N00b t00bing ethics

Because we are playing a game, not simulating "my life in the Marine Corp"!

This is not really an exploit, hiding in a piece of scenery that thank to a graphical glitch allow you to shoot out and no one can see you, that is an exploit...

Using one of the weapons in the game, that is not...

Note, I don't think the grenade launcher is perfect but the overuse the the exploit phrase irks me...

Re: N00b t00bing ethics

Nothing wrong with the noob tube. I'm AT mostly, but when there's gonna be a lot of close infantry action, as in Karkand, it's quite fun. I don't understand what all this "noob tube victims don't have a chance" talk is. Maybe they have a worse chance, sure, but isn't that the point of assault, close quarters domination? Don't expect to go toe-to-toe with them as another kit and have a great chance of survival. In any case, close quarters combat is supposed to be very risky; if you don't like it, use your other tools to change the odds, primarily range, and maybe even squad tactics. BF2 is fun because not all situations are inherently fair, in fact they're usually unfair, and demand some effort to overcome.

Two most fun things about noob tubing: 1) multiple kills, 2) long range challenges.

yepshotguns are amazing against the noob tubers, i can tell that cause i play all the time as engineer (allmost all the time to be more precise) and if they are unlucky enough not to kill me with the first grenade then they have to run ALOT, the pump action shotgun is better for them cause it does more damage than the automatic ones and so it takes less shots to kill them 2 at maximum cause of the armor or 1 in the head. and against a shotgun (at least mine) jumping in front of me wont help in anyway cause the lack of accuracy helps alot when the enemy is jumping. (i dont say bunny hopping because i think bunny hopping is the incorrect term to describe what happens in BF2 wich is just pressing the jump key...)

Re: N00b t00bing ethics

Sure ill get flamed for this but oh well, it needs to be said. Some of you think you are the greatest BF2 players to walk the face of the earth, but yet you cant stop a player carrying a grenade launcher. Theres a reason noobs use it, because if you give them any other gun they will get killed 90% of the time. They use it to even it up a tad. You super soldiers can run backwards, sideways, drop to prone position, spin, bunny hop and still maintain a lock on what you are shooting at. Is it supossed to be easy for you all the time? You want it easy for yourself just the like the "noob toober" wants it easy for himself.

Flame away.

Re: N00b t00bing ethics

BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! i love the complaining, especially the guy crying about how unrealisitc runing, spining, jumping and shooting is. this is a game and you want it to be realistic? that makes about as much sense as me wanting tetris to make my dinner every night. 2 totally completly different things.
think about this for a second...

the name of the game is battlefield, which basically means everything on the battlefield is in the game, meaning theres going to be something more powerful than you and can kill you easier. theres always something in the game that gives someone else an advantage over you, such as life. the great thing is theres a counter for it, and guess what, theres a counter for that, WOAH! theres a counter for that too!!! i'm fine with there being a delay to the nade going off... but then there also needs to be a spawn protection time to prevent people from camping known spawns with vehicles. and while we're at that the whole throw c4 and detonate it right away needs to be fixed, and the tanks shouldnt take 5 at rockets to kill it, and the jets should run out of fuel, and medics should have to transport dead guys to a safe spot to revive them, and after your killed you should have to buy a new copy of the game because afterall you just died, and in real life you dont just pop right back up...

ITS A GAME! if your going to complain atleast complain about actual bugs that make the game unplayable instead of just things that just make it less fun for YOU

Re: N00b t00bing ethics

A poorly coded game too.

Re: N00b t00bing ethics

The best way to counter a noob tube is to jump and noob tube back. You can also use terrain and obstacles. Although EA knows how much this weapon irks ppl it remains to be seen if they will nerf it.
