Re: To Newb Tube or not to...that is the Question.
why, cause once in a while, some guy jumps, fires the nade behind the other guys feet, and the splash damage kills them while the shooter lives (but yes, receives damage as well). As a hardcore GL user, I get about 10% of my kills that way, most are in the 10m-50m range, with more over that range than under it.
I use it as a primary weapon 'cause its a 1-shot kill. How many CS:S players here use Scouts in matches?? Yeah, go ahead - Scout vs. AWP in a match and tell me you win the war.
Here's an example for you - you decide on which is the best choice:
Ex: Sharqi Peninsula-64, full server.
I'm heading to the Alleyway flag from the NW, and I see a squad of 4 USMC soldiers that have just finished taking the flag. I'm assault class, and have my AK out, and I'm 20m away from them.
1. Do I start firing the AK at them, which if I hit them will give my position away (hit indicator)? If I'm lucky I'll probably kill 2 with 1 clip, but by this time the other will know my position and the ensuing rain of bullets from them and whatever damage the 1st 2 dealt out will result in my death. Summary: I get 2 kills, maybe a damage assist or 2 later, and I die.
2. I pull out the GP30, and drop a round at their feet, instantly killing 2. Since they're dead and didn't really get any hit indicator, the other 2 are not sure where to look for me. Also, the blast has given them a partial stun effect. With these 2 partially incapacitated, I'm free to push forward, reload, and drop at least one of them with my 2nd nade. I can then pull out the AK to finish the 4th guy. Summary: All 4 are dead, I've sustained no damage, still probably have 1-2 nades left to use, toss out my smoke for cover, and cap the flag.
Which one serves my team better? Perhaps I'm missing something.
The Assault class is for "Assaulting", which is defined as:
Ever watch the movie "The Patriot"? There was a certain amount of Chivalry used in wars -- face each other, fire, etc..... We no longer use those tactics for fairly obvious reasons, and any argument against the GL is basically asking for us to take warfare backwards 200+ years.
I'll stick to assaulting with my assault rifle and gl attachment. You can stick to crying about it.
