maybe you'll own with bouncing nade, but mind you, you can already do that with a nade that's more powerful

thats been done since grenades were introduced into games,

about a grenade launcher that does that, remember quake 1, 2, 3, and 4 (and other games i dont remember now)?

this tells u about the skill of a noobtuber, they used only the tube for so long that they completelly forgot that other types of grenades have allways existed.

Re: NoobTube wont be nerfed. Only better.

I don't mind dying from a GL if it's done with skill. I do hate however that when you do die by them, their is no sound made (same with tanks most of the time).

I like the changes they made and hopefully that will make the game better.

Re: NoobTube wont be nerfed. Only better.

fact is, the noob tube won't be used anymore like it was, you run around with the thing, run around corner, enemy is there, you fire, nade bounces away, you get shot .

Also don't forget the splash damage is decreased, in your face noob tuber.

AND , BECAUSE YOU SAY YOU KILL YOURSELF USING THE NOOB TUBE MEANS YOU ARE THE WURST KIND OF NOOB TUBERS AROUND, ARSHOLE

I dont care about splash damage being reduced. My accuracy with it, especially at long distances, says i dont have to worry about that.
The only thing i've worried about was the bounce effect. And like i said, it will IMPROVE my killing, as now i can bank shots, and lessen my SUICIDE/DEATH rate. So you see my, "in your face noob tuber"............i'll actually be better because of it. And you wont be safer behind your walls, on your roofs, or wherever else you camp for kills.
Im an assaulter. I go in......I get. Thats what i do. I expect to go in and meet upwards of 4-8 guys. I also expect to beat each and everyone of them.
and that ****es you off somehow?
What ****es me off is that i actually sometimes actually do FIGHT my way to a flag, kill off 6 or so guys, kill a few spawners....turn the flag...KNOW that i'll probally cap it after a long hard fight, and some douschbag such as yourself, blows up some hidden C4. Yeah........... the noob tube is the last thing this game needs nerfed. Lets make a c4 cant blow up near a flag radius. That would be sweet.

Re: NoobTube wont be nerfed. Only better.

It's going to be nerfed... AFAIK IRL the nade won't explode if it doesn't hit DIRECTLY the target.

If I'm not wrong, the nades that bounce simply won't explode

Re: NoobTube wont be nerfed. Only better.

1.) No more suicides by my own shot. Hey. Im guilty of shooting up close and personal, another person. Not because ima noob, but because an enemy jumped up around the corner in my face. Mostly scared, or just the fact i want to kill this person, i pull the trigger. Boom. He dies. I die. I wont have to worry about this no more. Saaaaaaaaaaaweet.

True, but now what will happen is that the guy will come around the corner, you will shoot, it will go off somewhere off in the distance and you will be sitting there with your GL out while the guy pumps you full of bullets. Yep, no more suicide, but no more kill. Net point result is the same.

2.) Bouncing Nades Within A Certain Proximity.
Oh yeaaaaaaaaah. Cant wait to have fun with this Nerf. I've always wanted to be able to lob a nade around a corner, or into some area where a squad is hanging out without actually being in their view. As in the game of POOL, i foresee some really nice creative shots. Should be lots of fun. :)

I know what you are driving at because sometimes I want to do the same. However, I usually want to do it at a distance, it is rare that you can bounce it off a wall real close to where you want it to go. I don't see this helping as much as the nerfs hurt. It changes the play style and may be the same, however, it is certainly not better.

Re: NoobTube wont be nerfed. Only better.

this is my only problem with the whole bouncy thing...... i use the noob toob on jeeps and dune buggies and hummers...alot. so now it is just gonna bounce off of them? i thought that the nade launcher was put in this game to protect infantry from vehicles and now it will be useless?

Re: NoobTube wont be nerfed. Only better.

This is how the unlocks should be.

The weapons should be better but reqiure more skill to use (and possibly incure a penalty for someone who cant use the correctly).

For example the Barret should have been alot less random but required the player to go prone to use it.

Maybe they could introduce guns that are more powerful but more prone to jamming, or have trouble when theyre wet for example.

Re: NoobTube wont be nerfed. Only better.

It sounded like the nade will still go off as soon as it hits an enemy....???? This is how launched nades worked in Unreal, they would bounce a certain amount of time OR until they hit an enemy vehicle or person....

Re: NoobTube wont be nerfed. Only better.

I don't see this so much as a nerf, it will just weed out the n00bs who only know how to shoot a tube at their feet.

Exactly. All they're doing is making sure the noob tubers live, and giving them the ability to shoot around alleyway corners and into what used to be unreachable areas. This forum is going to be flooded with threads that say "OMG <insert player name here> KILLD ME FRUM AROUNND CORNR! HE USE NOOB TOOB HAX!!?!" because of the ability to bounce them off things. After I've had my fill of shooting down the overpowered commander's R/C plane with the more accurate PKM from random rooftops of the city of Karkand, learning to bounce grenades from the nade launchers is 2nd on my list of things to do. :)

Oh, and you can STILL jump like a bunny rabbit. So hey, soon as you hit the ground, fire. Big deal. Now you just don't have to worry about the deviation when jumping, great job!
