Yeah too right im really happy they are going to balance the 1887's. The game should have been better play tested in my opinion.

oh thank God. The only thing that really bugged me about this game was those damn 1887's . Cant wait to get really stuck into this over christmas now

tmc86

ah just when i have started using akimbo 1887's :P

GavRedKing

Well done IW at lest they are looking into this. Those bloody 1887's were/are a cnut to play against.

Agree with above though, game should have been better tested before release, some of the akimbo classes are just ridicolous. Hope it makes the online better but instead of reacting to these problems they should have been dealt with before the games was ever released.

Whats the "Texture Hack"?
My system crashes when I set the textures to the max but I wouldn't consider that a "hack".

If i had my way i would make it so you only get one shot with the grenade launcher on the guns, nothing worst then playing against someone who just shoots off the 2 grenades throws his frag dies and does the exact same thing again and again!!!

Or scavenges and repeats without dying until he pops up an AC!

Somebody should make a group for people who want to band together against people who use explosives excessively the BAPWUEE is not a catchy acronym however, somebody really should make a youtube video about that or something...

Even the game uses the term "Noob Tube", there is a title called "Noob Tuber"

Agreed a bit. It's part of the game. Use it when it suits the environment. Just because the person who killed you wasn't in your view about 30 yards away and waved to let you know he was going to shoot, doesn't mean you should moan about a kill. A snipe from across the map, a knife after sneaking up on you from behind, a grenade launch into a known choke point, a grenade over a wall. All an be frustrating, but all are part of war. Accept them, learn from them and move on.

The only times when I get enraged with the game are when lag issues affect it. Me jumping behind a corner only to die and see the kill cam with me still in the middle of a hall, or me shooting 6 times and then getting popped from one shot and none of mine appearing on the kill cam leaves me with a sense of injustice as I've been killed due to stuff out of my control. If someone kills me in any other way, then fair play. Well done them, but I then try to work out how to get the upper hand on them etc.

I presume the idea is that you can fire off grenades without any real skill and take people out. So it suits lower skill players (noobs). You also get it very early in a gun's challenges so maybe that is why?

I love the noob tube. It's probably only annoying if you're dug in like an Alabama tick on Afghan or Wasteland.

The way the thumper launches grenades is most excellent, on certain maps i know exactly where to fire to hit the other team at the start. I find it funny that people get so annoyed over it, it's a game chill...

radio_protector

I just think its funny that people are complaining about this "noob tube" thing. If it is only noobs who are using them, then it's just making the game more balanced

craze7

Lol, i know its fair game and all but nothing worse than people fraggin' buildings with granades just hoping someone is in there...

Also it was just an observation!!! ☺

Iguana Bob

someone who randomly frags and launches grenades is never gonna win a game so if you are any good dont worry, crap people will always get some kill by luck.

citizen_p

infinit ammo ??? scavenger pro is basically infintie ammo...ammo from enemys + twice the normal amount....

thank god for the 1887 fix....

under barrel Rifle mounted grenade launcher

Newbie, AKA Noob, Tube, as in tube under the barrel of a rifle.

I gathered it was called the nube tube because you could get to use it after (25kills?) for assault rifles on MW1 and therefore it was primarily used by players new to the game as it was the first addon you could get.

I use it on every assault weapon I have. Best addon ever!

scar-h with nube tube,scavenger pro and just spam the map(scrapyard is an excellent one)with claymores:DFeel bad doing it but very enjoyable at the same time

Glad to see those 1887's will be fixed, they drive me crazy.
