Grenade launcher

[CrAzY SwAiN]

doesnt any1 here find it really anyoing when your capturing a HQ or a flag or even planting a bomb then all of a sudden out of no where bang dead grenade launcher i think they should be banned or something sooooooo anoying

[KONSPIRACY]

Yep...only way to describe it is "n00b" weapon.

[handley88]

I hate it when some n00b just runs round a corner with the grenade launcher equipped because he is scared of what is round there and if he's quick enough to press the trigger he'll get a kill. Usually see them change on the Killcam just before running out.

[caMper ch1ef]

indeed the "n00b" weapon, but it seems like people at xbox360 has an more acceptance than the pc gamer. it is called the "noobtube" or "nubtub" ur choice ;D

[hazman]

Yer, i do hate on kill cam i see a guy runin around with those daft nuubtube crosshairs cos they cant use bullets.

But if you don't use it noobishley then i don't mind. For instance if you wana break up a team if theyre all crowded together and don't have the time to cook a grenade then it will jus demolish them (although its ded easy to do this, so it is nuubish, u could just use an LMG for wasting multiple enemies.

[kHz HaVoK]

This is the best weapon in the game.............JOKE!

Yer its the most annoying weapon, personnally they should bring an update out to remove it, or a playlist with no nades, or n00btube's!

They can be quite useful at times but i hate them!

[KONSPIRACY]

IMO it should be a perk like the RPG so it can be turned off rather than an attachment.

[caMper ch1ef]

i like my Mp5 tbh <3 :D

Cos then It'l be easier to enforce a ban on NTs in XL im guessin. Its gona b hard jus sayin to every single player, 'yer jus don't choose grenadier please' lol.

Havok i duno about nades though, nades are gr8, having that one grenade to de-sniper a room is just magic, and how satisfying it is to cook a grenade just right for it to blow up on a guys face.

[kHz HaVoK]

Oww believe me mate i love nades, just saying it wud be nice to have a playlist were all you have is guns!

Played in a game the other day on Overgrown, we spawned, 3 seconds later 3 of us were dead. This guy had fired the grenade launcher from his spawn. Next map was Ambush, he was on our team. He did the same thing to the enemy, and got at least one kill everytime.

He thought it was fantastic. No one else did lol.

[hazman]

Yeh iv'e experienced that on alot of maps, this clan pwned us most of the time as they killed the majority of my team by blowing up a car at the start with noob tubes, ANNOYING

[OB1theGeordie]

Tell you whats annoying, the chopper when it has it's thermal imaging camera on. I was in the building over the dry river opposite the barn on overgrown.

Bang, dead, killcam comes up, Choppers only gone and shot me through the length of the barn and through the wall of the building i'm in.

Jesus, mary and joseph !

[hazman]

Yeah the chopper is very inconsistant, some ppl say it works on the Uav, which is bull cos i always run UAV jammer in my perks. The bullets can shoot through thick walls, like the roofs in Countdown, yet my Helis get about 2 kills max.

[Roadpog]

The grenade launcher pretty much is a perk because it takes away perk 1 so when u think about it its kinda better as a attachment than a perk. yea its a noobtube but when u think about its a weapon to use it and when used well its brilliant like long distance launches when uve ran out of grenades is just awesome its just like random nading which EVERYONE does even tho u say u dont. so basically just get use to it or just get rid of the game just like with all the perks use them or just shut up about moaning really

[caMper ch1ef]

lol:D i made you guys say "n00btube" awesome ^^ priceless

[infeXious]

There's a perk called 3 Frags btw - so it's not used when you run out of grenades, it's used BEFORE "noobs" even attempt to throw any grenades. No ones debating whether it's a good attachment/perk or not - we all agree it's so good, in fact, that it's broken e.g. shoot one in the air at the start of a Team Game and get instant kills (when positioned right).

It's not like random nading (which not everyone does), because you have to cook grenades, and those 3-4 seconds it takes to cook a grenade is long enough for someone to come up behind you and knife you/shoot you down. Noob Tube takes a second.

There's no other perk like it: quick-accurate-instant kill-no real skill - not even Matrydom. Look at RPGs, they're not broken, because they're balanced: "slow-inaccurate-instant skill-mid-short distance".

Sorry about my minature rant, but there's just no way to defend it, or make it look like there's any real skill involved, in pressing that right trigger after briefly lining up a mid-range shot, or pressing it when someone's right in front of you.

[Roadpog]

You can look at it in each way but say SnD when u know where people spawn your going to get them random grenades tossed at you and i know alot of people that do it personally i save my grenades for clearing out buildings and stuff but i think worst perk/attachment on the game has to be the juggernaut its so infuriating it makes me wanna just go to that person and take a look in there eyes and stare so long it falls out its really annoying

Sexy time?


Just get on with it init, i dont seem to get killed by it often but when i do i always laugh at how retarded some people are when you watch the killcam.

[hazman]

It is noobish any way you look at it.
1/ you can't kill yourself with it as it doesn't explode when shot near.
2/ Even when it doesn't detonate, you can insirt it in to a guy for an instant kill.
3/Moves faster than any grenade/rpg can

Great, an explosive that moves as fast a a bullet, no not broken at all :s

[infeXious]

Sexy time?

I lol'd, as cheesy as it was. :D

[Bushmouseone]

I have already decided that if we get custom weapons and perks at XL4, then im putting a n00b tube on all my weapons [ exept sniper ]
I'm also using a P90, and 2 LMG

LMAO - Joke :D:D:D:D

I get annoyed at the player, but looking back i shouldnt have. He / She did wel to use common sense and realise that a N00B tube will easily get 1 kill per death :eek:

:cool:

[KONSPIRACY]

Even if they dont release a patch, the n00b tube will be banned at XL. The only way to enforce would be to have a stupid rule like "if you use it then you will receive -5 kills" or banning the weapon set altogether which wouldnt be a preferred option as its the only kit with the M16.

[hazman]

Yeah, it's just a shame that possibly the most effective weapon will have an iron sight for no reason.

1 - that's how it works in real life, they take time to arm, it's so that the canon fodder don't blow themselves up.
2 - again, shoot it at someone and it'll do more damage to them than a bullet would - it's bigger and at close range has a higher velocity.
3 - guess what, that's how it works in real life, the gulf between RPG and Grenade Launcher isn't massive, it's how they get used in the game that makes it seem larger than it is, but then you use RPGs and Grenade Launchers for two different things.

Did i once say that it wasn't consistant with real life? The point being made is not about realism, but balancing of the weapons, and for said reasons it isn't balanced, however realistic it may be.

[Bushmouseone]

, the n00b tube will be banned at XL.

is this the XL rule or just speculation

The way you had written your post it appeared that you weren't sure how a grenade launcher worked.
