Thread: Step away from the noob-tube....

As stated a few times the only thing that annoys me about the 40mm grenade launcher is the 'shotgunning' of it.

Yeah... I noticed.

I think the noob tube, the Gustav and the proliferation of snipers are the 3 worst non-bugs in the game.

As far as the toob, they need to do away with the projectile kill at close range for sure, and nerf the unlimited resupply of both the toob and grenades. It seems DICE learned nothing from their previous games, which is ridiculous.

Nah, their worst mistake wasn't so much the tube itself, but putting the tube and the ammo box in the same kit. I think the tube is useful, but giving the user an unlimited supply is a bit abusive.

Give this man a cookie! Thats so right I never thought that the reason I hate toobers is because they can lonewolf and be a massive PITA... I think the 40mm is grand , but it's just over used, I use it to pop people through walls, or to make doors (What can I say I'm lazy)....

Recon kits are fine, I get most of my shankings from flanking "peripheral blinded" snipers (Oh and UAV dudes)... They're too busy looking down their precious 12X to realise me whipping out Mr Penetratus...

I'm just calling out those people that accrue 7 gold stars with this... hahahahaha you know who you are toob-whores!

the tube lets noobs play with advanced players and thats a good thing.

I see the M60/medic much more of a problem.


FYI: the 40mm shotty is ruthless. I lay waste to 2-4 people at once.

step one, shoot the 40mm shotty
step two, spray down the rest of the group with the auggie/mag.
step three, knife who ever is left standing.
...profit??

You're doing it wrong. :P


On topic. 40MM grenade launchers don't really bother me until I'm within ten feet of someone and get killed by one. They should be a LONG range weapon. The range people use these at is so rediculous. They need a 50% increase in minimum range, and a loss of projectile damage. This would actually make the 40MM SG useful, and you might even see Assault kits shooting bullets every once in a while.

Solution: Nerf the tube

Seriously, it ain't that damn hard to figure out :3

Or at least make it so that if you do blast somebody close range with it, it actually detonates and kills the user too.
