Noob tubing sucks

Unfourtunatly if one really did fire a 40mm nade launcher at someone 5m in front of you, you'd get the front of your body maimed and disfigured beyond recognition. But you might be alive to tell the tale.

Look everyone another wuss has posted. Hey guess what, if you kill them first you would have nothing to complain about. Get some game and go away.

Amerikai: In some lucky cases, yes, I imagine you might be able to be saved if you recieved medical treatment immediately. But you would definitely never be an effective fighting force ever again. You would be extremely lucky to have any of your senses left (sight,feeling,hearing).

Re: Noob tubing sucks

Let's be a little more specific here. I have no problem with noob tubing in general, it's just those times (like you mentioned) when it's done in CQB that gets on my nerves.

Hell, if I get hit by an M203 at around 75m (or more), I'm going to congratulate the guy who shot it.

Re: Noob tubing sucks

SaladFork: Exactly.

There should be skill involved with every weapon, the M203 included.

Unfortunately, its only use as of right now is anything but what the real weapon was intended for.


The splash damage is too small to engage targets at more than 20 meters effectively.

My favored solution:

- Increase Splash Damage
- Increase Damage Radius
- Add arming delay so the grenade will arm itself after 10 meters
If at all possible, make the physical round still able to do damage if you physically hit them with the round under 10 meters, but the round will not go off, it will just get lodged into the persons torso. Google search for pictures of this exact scenario, it is not prety trust me (the operation to remove said round is even more disturbing).

Re: Noob tubing sucks

One time on Karkand I noobed the tubed out of it. I got the assault babge with it in like 10 minutes lol.

Re: Noob tubing sucks

The Question: lol that is the exact same thing that happened to me.

It was on karkand and I made a squad and called it Noob Toobers

if you didnt use the noob toob you were kicked from the squad.


We ended up with best squad / top of the server for 3 consequetive rounds.

That was about the time I decided it needed to be fixed.

Re: Noob tubing sucks

No we would all be fighting hard and losing and the commander says BRING OUT THE NOOB TUBE LAUNCHER OF THE DOOM!!! Then we all win.

Re: Noob tubing sucks

Way to go using the "search" function.

Although I agree bunny hooping CQB Noobers are the bane of the game.

Re: Noob tubing sucks

Bingo.

"If lame is the game, fight cheese with cheese."

Adapt or die.

Amen. Theres no argument past this point. Other kits are worse in killing than assault, well oh snap. Too bad we can't do anything about it.

Goldfish memory is a FALSE MYTH.

False myth? That's an oxymoron. A myth, by definition, is not a truth in the first place.

Re: Noob tubing sucks

I love the nade launcher. Its funny because I seem to be the opposite to other noob tubers because I love sniping ppl with the nade launcher from short-medium distances (by ACTUALLY aiming). Often they won't know what hit them. Most time when they see me with the noob tube, they think i'll miss from that distance, but most times (7/10) I get them from a reasonable distance. You just need to know where to aim, I mean, if they're standing close to a wall-which is most often the case- just aim for the wall next to them...boom. Taking out tank machine gunners and black hawk gunners with the nade launcer is freaking fun too (although that's a lot harder).

When it comes to extremely close quarters combat, I suck. I find that with hopping and shoot at feet, i tend to shoot too far and miss because I'm used to shooting it over longer distances..lol. That's why i avoid using the nade launcher as a noob tube if you know what i mean.

I find the best way to deal with noob tubers is just be careful when you're turning the corner and trying to deal with most opponents over medium distance unless you can take them by surprise. It cuts down a lot on your deaths :).
