Poll: Should noob tubes be banned on cod

[samael_morningstar]

Nothing more annoying than someone with no skill, 1 shot killing you by should a grenade about 10 feet away from you. Does anyone feel the same

Firstly, what is this guy actually trying to say? The sentence does not make sense. SPELLING AND PUNCTUATION AND USING THE CORRECT GODDAMN WORDS!!! C'mon people, we all went to primary school didn't we? Proof-read what you write before initiating a conversation! If this guy had said this to me (i.e: verbally) I'd be standing, looking at him, and waiting for him to correct his sentence. No one should have responded to this 'noob' until he had achieved this.

Now to the issue actually at hand. From what I've read (as I have no knowledge of CoD), it sounds like a noob tube is something that helps people new to the game learn how to play it. Why on earth would you remove something like that? What, only experienced people should be allowed to play in your precious little elitist game? Not only is that argument invalid (because no one starts off being experienced at anything, moron) but its exclusionary and arrogant.

Seriously, this guy precisely embodies the reasons why all I've ever heard about CoDMW2 players is that they're abusive, intolerant, arrogant %#@$*&~$!

Get a life OK mate? Or at least get your sentence structures sorted so you can argue properly.

40mm buckshot > 40mm HE

Oh wait, wrong game, sorry.

 

[TiefBlau]

Yeah, why don't they ban all the grenades in the game? People are just going to throw them randomly in the vague hopes of scoring a lucky kill before they die anyways.

Then maybe we could vary the gameplay a bit more by adding more specialized classes, like a spy or a demoman.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

No. Stop complaining about dying. They're a legitimate weapon. If we didn't have them then people would complain that it takes away realism.

 

[T-Bone24]

Ain't no poll here, son. You can't just say "Poll" and it becomes one, this ain't magic.

OT: I have never liked Call of Duty, but stop whining, it is well within your power, I hope, to stop playing if it gets on your nerves. That, or suck it up.

 

[weker]

NO cod Battlefield XD really noob tubes are the bigger broken thing in cod but to be honest infinity ward is dead and black ops only way to improve game is with gimmicks i mean really gimmicks wow that is awful game designing treyarch

 

[AndyFromMonday]

I wouldn't say ban them but limit their blast radius. For e.g., in Battlefield: BC2 unless you hit the noob tube RIGHT at the feet of the enemy he isn't going to die. In fact, you won't even get a hit marker.

Either way, the Call of Duty series has been on the decline since Call of Duty 4 came out. There's really no use arguing about pro pipes when it's obvious there are better games out there that do everything MW2 is attempting to do way better.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

So you want to ban the grenade launcher? Are you perhaps a camper hiding in a bunker, or a rusher using a riot shield? Because the underbarrel grenade launcher is how you legitimately deal with those particular tactics.

I tell you what, let's just ban all weapons and perks, shall we? I got sniped once, let's ban sniper rifles. Someone one the other team called in a Harrier strike on my position yesterday, let's ban Harrier killstreaks. I got stabbed in the back by someone I couldn't hear coming, let's ban the Ninja perk. In fact, let's just trim all the fat off the game, and just have .44 pistols in a really small level and a 'pistols at dawn' scenario. /heavy sarcasm

Seriously, I think your complaint here is actually not with the grenade launcher itself, but with the type of player that just spams grenades everywhere - and that is a fault of the player, not the game, and will not be solved by removing underbarrels from the game. I've met grenade spammers in Halo and AvP as well, this is not a reason to jump on the 'MW2 Hate' bandwagon.

 

[Timotei]

They work. The get the results the user wants and they get it effectively.

Tactics don't matter. Only results.

 

[TerribleAssassin]

Well doesn't it balance out?
noobs using noob tubes = non-noob using non-noob tube weapon?
The noobs still don't know the game properly so you have that advantage over them...

The advantage being an un-balanced shit heap? (Here comes the flaming)

OT: No, cause it makes it moore realistic, if you want a really realistic one, a year of training, being told what gun your using, and having to clean it to stop it from fucking up.


As well as patrols, medics, breaches e.t.c...

 

[captaincabbage]

lol thats a terrible idea.

Here's a better one, what if say in the next CoD (BlOps) they make a matching system with different leagues of players based on kill, death and scoring stats?

banning a whole demographic is just retarded because that cuts off a whole group of players who want to get into the game and get better at it, but can't.

 

[Karasawa_]

MW2 has so many flaws. Play something else. Bad Company 2 (as others have said) seems more balanced, and certainly, when I play it, I don't explode in a firey ball of rage like when I play MW2.

 

[Polaris19]

I will leave it at this. COD was better off before the "Modern" setting.

Theres a lot wrong with the game but not the tubes specifically.

 

[teh_Canape]

yeah I had my time as a NoobTuber, but nowadays, I still use the grenade launcher, but not for easy kills, I actually aim at them to get an impact kill, yes I know, it's still pretty much a one hit kill, but come on, the throwing knife is a one hit kill too and nobody complains, and grenade launcher explosion kills are side effects for me (still, a welcome one)


and yes, when I get killed by a noobtuber I do go FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU-, but that's all I can do, since I know I used to be one

Edit: now that I think about it, the same thing was on Half Life multiplayer, and nobody said anything about that

 

[Sp00nDuck]

Go on hardcore, its way better and you need to think so much more you dont mind if you get killed by a grednade launcher (as i believe the game calls them) because it takes more skill to do so. The thing with hardcore is that you have to be more skilled or you die 20 times and the whole team flames you.

 

[brunothepig]

Everyones got to start somewhere.... The best way to do it is to hold a grenade out and pull the pin when your standing right behind someone

Haha. Couple of friends and me were playing COD4 lan. One was sniping, and another snuck up on him. Instead of sniping, he dropped a grenade, and just stood there. Was hilarious.
OP: You're new, so perhaps you haven't realised, but people complain about Modern Warfare 2 being broken way too much. The way I see it, it can't be that bad. Develop tactics to defeat the "noob tactics", or just play a different online game. No it shouldn't be banned, that's just stupid.

 

[Rylingo]

Change them into a 3 kill streak.

Seriously they are currently broken as all hell in every game they have been used in. Either turn them into a perk, remove them or nerf them.

Nerf them by dropping impact damage to 30% which it should always have been. The impact from a grenade is more powerful than a sniper round to the face? How very realistic. You could also lower the blast radius or not have them explode instantaneously on impact with the ground.

 

[Gutkrusha]

People who freak out over Grenade Launchers and Knifing are the reason I use them. I love watching people freak out over games. It brightens my day. The louder you scream, the more i'm going to single you out in a game just to put a grenade or knife in your face.
