Many patches? They haven't released a single balance patch yet.

I have still never played a map where I was toobed so much that I thought it was a problem. I will consider myself lucky I guess. All the complaining about the same thing is getting old, real old.

Yea the fact that it takes a full m16 clip to the chest for you to die doesn't bother you, but the nade launcher isn't realistic.

Many patches? They haven't released a single balance patch yet.

The vehicles in cap radii is supposedly a balance issue they "corrected" (read: screwed over). This also was a nerfing result, not because it needed it, but because of the whining we saw. The M203 and Planes seem to be the popular thing now that people can't win against, so they say it's overpowered. It's what happened with the Blackhawk, and instead of helicopters only getting nerfed, they screwed over an entire feature of the game. So when all these people who can't shoot someone with a "noob tube", I can't wait to hear what's next when the grenades get nerfed and have 2 or 3 repercussions throughout the gameplay to follow it just like the UH-60 incident.

Since the game takes place in the future, They must have invented 0 delay CQB grenade rounds. They kill useing the cuncussion of the grenade rather than shrapnel. This development was made shortly after the Iraqi war, as the powers that be realized the usefulness of a CQB grenade in future battles. Assault troops swear by its effectivness. They are now able to fire into and clear a room without the fear of shrapnel penetrating the thin walls and injuring thier squad mates. Although this seems to be a small advancement, the rounds usefulness on the battlefield is undeniable.

(Thats why there is no arming distance in bf2. It was not an oversight by dice but actually foresight into the future of armed combat.)

That was taken from a future issue of Military Times magazine. Thier next big feature will be on the amazing new "spidersilk" fabric incaseing c-4 that is unable to stick to humans but sticks to everything else with just a toss.

I wish people knew how to dodge as well as they know how to start new threads.

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

Before you ask, I'm not complaining, I'm just writing down some observations of mine to prove this game is not perfect. If you really are the whining type, here's a plenty of stuff to whine on. Just remember, there are no perfect games, but some are very successful, with BF2 being one of the most balanced multiplayer games - whatever you will say.

1. Chinese tank is the weakest of all the tanks, because of extremely small angle it can pitch up the barrel to fight choppers.
2. Chinese WZ551 is the largest APC, being easily targetted from long distances, and having - IIRC - no other advantage to benefit this.
3. Arabian Chopper is the most powerful with its gun resembling APC turret.
4. Blackhawk chews down infantry and light vehicles with ease, while other choppers are reffered to, as flying coffins.
5. Grenade Launchers are unrealistic, the grenades arm themsleves instantly, and have a very small blast radius.
6. smoke grenades leave their smoke for a very short period of time, making them semi-useless.
7. M95 can't kill a man with a single shot with a .50 Cal ammo!
8. M95 can't kill a man sitting in a light vehicle/chopper cockpit easily.
9. Machineguns are so inaccurate that it's unbelieveable.
10. Not mentioning the PKM, which doubles the accuracy and damage as we read in unlock's section, but the weapon doesn't come up as that good.
11. Planes and choppers are reloading/repairing while airborne - outrageous.
12. Anti-Air missiles seem to choose friendly targets more often than enemy's.
13. People shot to the head, can be revived with just a simple defibrilator.
14. An exploding anti tank rocket does very little damage to infnatry if not hit directly.
blah blah blah blah

Yes, there are a lot of things that are unrealistic, or done in a bit of a wrong way. This is a game with it's rules and physics, that apply to all the players. If you don't like someone's playing style, listen to Auto-ER-:

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.

Who said anything about real life physics? All I said was give it a minimum travel distance SIMILAR to how it is in reality.

As to your comment about the planes, I'm assuming by your position that you'd be willing to spawn as an aviation fueling and ordinance specialist to tend to aircraft when they return from missions? It's a game and it will never be "realistic," however, gameplay can easily be informed by reality.

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

its getting to the point where idiot clans are banning ppl for being too good with the nade launcher. i have 71% accuracy with it and find myself being kicked from clan servers. Have to use the EA servers now and even then ppl try and vote kick me. If you cant cope with being owned dont play simple.

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

You know if they made it an underbarrel one shot kill shotgun people would still complain that it was unbalanced and a noob weapon, they just would not have the 'realisim' defense...

Personally I would like to see if changed to the minimum arming distance, bigger blast thing because that sounds fun and interesting. But I also accept they probably are not going to do it and it is just a game so it's no big deal...

I got noob toobed last night, we spotted each other, I shot him and he NT'ed me, killing himself in the process. He gets +2 for the kill and -2 for the suicide, result 0 points. I get one point for the Kill Assist... :p

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

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.

maybe u STFU or whatever u kids say these days, anywho its rare to see the guy that shoots the launcher die along with the other one, and u know that u are just trying to make urself look "inocent" u know its a bug if a grenade explodes next to u and u dont die just because u jump a bit.

i know what i am talkin about cause i play alot of strike at karkand and i see it everytime/everywhere, i still kill loads of them when they miss the first shot and BOOM shotgun shot and they're down.

Wow You come and make a thread about the "How" Newb Tubes but not the Why? Why do people use the Newb tube and not the regular rifle...

Not really. I've rarely seen complaints about the M11-87. Thing is, you have to AIM it in order to kill in one shot, so that precludes all of the sloppy players from adopting it. The GL just has to hit somewhere around the enemy's feet. Big difference.
