"OMFG The Noob tube is so lame" - Sick of this

[.Churr.]

I am sick of all the new topics created complaining the GRENADE LAUNCHER ATTACHMENT (it's not called n00b tube) is lame, unfair, unrealistic, noobish and whatever... I think the moderators should stick 1 of this topics and send all the rest to oblivion.

Many patches were released and all of us know that EA is (likely) NOT GOING to tweak the GL, disregarding all the whinning.

The GL is a powerful CQC weapon, if you want to handicap yourself and don't use it the choice is yours; but the fact is that IT IS THERE so everyone CAN use it.

My 2 cents.

Not that powerful in my book, it takes forever to load that damn thing and yoiu only have a few shots.

Re: "OMFG The Noob tube is so lame" - Sick of this

bla bla bla ppl are actually right complaining about it, the problem with the grenade launcher is that ppl dont use it as they should (at a considerable distance) instead people use it at close range when they are right next to the other player, and u know perfectly well that when this happens u dont die but the other player does.

people the grenade launcher are exploiters cause that is a bug and people instead of not using that bug, they use it as much as they can trying to make the others believe that is normal to kill someont next to u with a grenade making them die and not u aswell.

i hope more threads against the grenade launcher are made so DICE doesnt forget to fix it.

Nade launchers are actually quite fun if you get good at shooting them long range.

Nade launchers are actually quite fun if you get good at shooting them long range.

the prob is that its rare to see ppl using them at long range or even medium, and in fact the splashdamage should be bigger than it is, but this would require ppl to stop using it as a short range weapon.

remember BF:V? the grenade launcher in there i think it was how it should be, splash damage was wider but u could not use it at short range without killing yourself.

Biff, STFU, it isn't a "bug." Get over it. And I can't tell you how many times I have seen

idiot [m203] bigbootyho
idiot is no more.

It does kill you. However, if you are smart, you fire BEHIND the other person, so they are closer to the point of impact and it gives more damage to the other person, not you.

No exploiting, no bug. It is the benefit of being assault.

Re: "OMFG The Noob tube is so lame" - Sick of this

Biff, if you REALLY thinkt hat INCREASING the splash damage won't INCREASE the power of it, you are a fool. I would LOVE to see it with a huge splash damage. . .it would absolutely own. I am pretty good with it at distance. . . hwoever, if i am moving, i often miss my far away targets. With a large splash damage, they would all be going down.

yah, for u people that haven't played any other FPS game, including Desert Combat (one of the predecessors to BF2), then yeah, keep the threads up, I'm sure they'll nerf the GL attachment...... :laugh:

Just think, once u succeed doing that then you can pick something else to nerf... jets, pistols, pump shotguns, whatever pwns you that week you can cry over and have it nerfed right out of the game.

I've played the BF series since its inception, with bf42 and bf-v, also played DC and POE. I've seen one real major nerf to a kit, and that was the M60 in the 1st release of BF-V, guys would hang out in buildings and rip apart enemies as the gun seemed to have no recoil and no real issue with range. You'd jump into a server and find 80% of the guys using the M60. There was a patch farily quickly to address this weapon since it was by far overbalanced. The GL isn't an overbalance issue, nor is it a bug/exploit. Its part of the game, use your constructive time to combat it, not shed tears over it.

So yeah, keep up the crying, I'm sure DICE has all of their employees frantically working on fixing the GL. :laugh: :laugh:

I'm not sure if you've played Karkand lately, but the GL situation has become like BFV's M60 issue on certain maps.

Re: "OMFG The Noob tube is so lame" - Sick of this

they should of reduced the amount of ammo to 1 grenade that would sort it out :laugh: :laugh:

Re: "OMFG The Noob tube is so lame" - Sick of this

The solution is to make it more closer to reality.

In real life, the round has to travel a specific distance before its spinning action arms the explosive.

If this could be implemented, people would have to use it appropriately.

Another suggestion would be to do what Forgotten Hope did with its rifle grenades -- implement a delay between pulling the trigger and the weapon firing.

Re: "OMFG The Noob tube is so lame" - Sick of this

I find it a very lame and overpowered weapon. I won't make a thread for it, but it'v very true. The weapon is way to easy to use and gives 1-shot-kills with hardy any skill needed. This ruins the gameplay, because the real firefights get taken out of the game, because of such a lame and overpowered thing. I don't say I never use it, I do, because it's just so easy to get kills with, but it remains a lame and overpowered thing, which is way to easy to handy and gives easy 1-shot-kills.

Re: "OMFG The Noob tube is so lame" - Sick of this

Genade launchers are not a CQB weapon....period. People that use them as such are retards that kill themselves more often then the enemy, and it's funny to watch.

If GL use is out of control on Karkand, I break down and use it too, but feel cheap, but **** if I am going to get owned by some moron that can't shoot and has to rely on a GL to get kills two feet from him...when in Rome....


post script: Great job on the thread whining about people whining, we really hadn't had one of this for about an hour, I was going through withdrawls.

Re: "OMFG The Noob tube is so lame" - Sick of this

lol, I love the all-to common solution as well, "make it like RL and give it arming distance / etc"

Yeah, uh, tell me, can planes fly over runways and reload bombs/etc? If so, man, I've been missing something at the local air shows ffs.

Using RL physics to only effect 1 aspect of the game is flat out stupid. You can't have it both ways. Its an arcade style game, period. Go play Raven Shield or one of the other realism based games - where crying over nades won't matter since 1-2 rounds from a M16 will drop you.

another major nerf was to M203, in order to combat the noob tubing issues in DC. it now takes 2 gernades to kill a person.
