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

After playing 70% Noob-tube last night I discovered a few things...

1. It requires no real true skill to use.
2. It's only fun when you kill 2+ with a single shot.
3. It's ridiculous how many people use this like a shotty too - I killed many people point blank as they charged me knife in hand...
4. This is the only reason assault guys will drop ammo... So they can replenish their sacred Noob tube.
5. Smoke Grenades can kill at point blank too, and the 40mm shotty is as useful as a short giraffe.

I know it has it's uses but please... just throw out some ammo for your squad and team too!

/end rant

The assault kit is awesome-sauce in this game. I believe the 40mm launcher is the only reason I get any kills!



But you might notice Soy throws ammo everywhere.

You nailed it on the first attempt, and score a 10.

Having the noob-tube be more effective than a shotgun at close range is just ridiculous.

I too, tested some theories and found out exactly the same thing. A point blank, in your face shot with noob tube, will not detonate, but will kill in one shot. The Shotgun, even to the head, two shots.

Puh-leez



If we are going to ask people to step away, lets start with the scopes.
I think this game would be a good 20-30% better without the recon class.


So, anyway, I'm going to keep playing this foul (recon) class till I get the last unlock . And then you will be eating my noobtubes. And you will like it!


No, you'll LOVE IT!

Recon kit,Mortars (personal arty),UAV balls,and shotty of your choice(or the G3)...with the slugs. Offensive force. Just because you are dressed like a shrubbery,doesn't mean you have to act like one.

Na, it's supposed to be a sniper, it's what people want to play. And half the server plays it.

I just think it's stupid game play. I don't really understand why a long distance type would even be in this game with such small maps. It's not but like 150 meters between objectives.

And ya know, I have never heard/said, "next person, spawn recon, I need a sensor/claymore/shotgunner!"
Why? Because they are NON team play, lone wolf useless mutha's. And half the server plays them.


Imo.

Sorry to derail, anything further from me I will put I'll put in that sniper hating thread I've been thinking of.......

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.
