Don't get me wrong Shawpower, I accept you'll never please some people, I'm just curious as to what a spotless set up would be is all.
I was slagged for selecting the intervention by a guy from NYC on Wastleland, he asked what I planned on doing with it, going over to a corner and camping, to which I replied, "no, I'm gonna shove it up your h*le"... he got stick from his clan after that
It is funny how rows online can bring ppl back to schoolyard days. I witnessed a row between and american and an english lad... the american was basically telling the English lad he was sh*t (referenced the kill/death ratio) and the English lad replied stating that he was no doubt fat, and kept repeating, talking over him saying "go eat a cheesburger, go eat a cheeseburger, go eat a cheeseburger".... :rolleyes:0 -

I use the thumper when I need it, but I'm not a "launch a grenade to some random place and hope it hits someone" type,its purely for getting people I know are camping or risky rooms where claymores and someone lying prone with shotties are, and it drives people mental when you revenge kill them with it I love, love, love killing people on Highrise with it who camp on top of that small building with the big propane tank on it, a few shots at the tank to make the gas come out, then launch a grenade, boom 0

So we're not allowed name and shame the boosters. But the same rules don't apply to Tubers surely???0 -

Was it me :P I dont use danger close tho only on my riot shield class for baiting people with the c4 pack, oh the abuse:D they see it as camping, I see it as teaching people to not rush into things
I wouldn't think so given you're on PS3 and Shammy is on 360. I have my suspicions who it was....0 -

I'm a noober and proud!
Get some stick about it from my clanmates so enjoy it even more when I pop one of them in the head with it!
I actually have a class I like to call the head wrecker. Got ACR with Noob Tube, Dual G18s, Marathon,Lightweight and Commando Pro. Good to wrack up plenty of kills and to annoy everyone your playing against!0 -

Obviously, the worst for this is Domination, where you've a fair idea of where people will be.
As an example, if anyone's seen that faked 30 second Nuke video, I had a similar enough game on Terminal where two RPGs down towards A about half way through the game got me a predator, which got me a harrier which got me a chopper gunner. All because of speculative play.
Which is dull as fcuk for everyone really. I try not to tube that often now, but it did help me when I was learning to play if I'm honest.
This, I have absolutely no problem with people who hit me with accurately shot grenades, they're not the easiest thing to judge distance (I'm quite good at it though
) and firing them into windows and small spaces can be really hard sometimes. But its when on certain maps you know people will be at certain places, especially to begin with, take Quarry, why, oh why do people still go to the part at the top of the ramp, where all the explosive barrels are? I've seen people get triple kills 5 seconds into the game by just firing a grenade there as they know people are stupid enough to run there. 0 -

You're not using Danger Close, OMA or Scavenger. So I wouldn't have much bother about that class. At least from the noobtoob point of view. Maybe the witching aspect, but you haven't gone for an SMG so aren't as quick as a regular witch.0 -

Wouldnt mind getting peoples opinions on my setup, its either:
Famas w/ silencer
Thumper or Magnum
Stun Grenade
Claymore
Scavenger pro
Cold Blooded pro
Ninja pro
or:
Scar-H w silencer
Thumper
claymore
stun grenade
scavenger pro
stopping power pro
ninja pro
The thumper is handy for taking out campers and its my weapon of choice for boosters, nothing like getting a double kill and destroying a TI with one grenade its not, repeat NOT for noobing, no time for that sh1t.
Cold blooded is great for maps with big open areas like Afghan or Wasteland, its nice knowing seing a predator missile or harrier appear on the uav wont affect you the majority of the time0 -

I've tried unlocking the extended mags alright but getting 40 FMJ kills is a pain unless you constantly get Highrise and Terminal as levels, loads of glass on those. I think I'm at 16 or 17 FMJ penetration kills and most of them werent intentional, just someone happened to be running past a wall or something, its one of those challenges you can do when you dont mean to but trying to make it happen wont work 0

True, but try this out. I got EX/ mags on my M240, TAR, and FAL using this trick:I've tried unlocking the extended mags alright but getting 40 FMJ kills is a pain unless you constantly get Highrise and Terminal as levels, loads of glass on those.

Put on either sitrep or a HB (blinged with FMJ) when heading into Scrapyard. All those plane parts are like butter, bullets go straight through them with little or no reduction. And there is always one guy camping in the L section, so spray to locate him and then lay into him.0 -

There is a great spot on SubBase to get FMJ kills. There is a chain link fence in the lower floor of the power station section. All kills through that fence, and any other chain link fence you find, count towards FMJ kills.
Check out this video by WoR to see exactly where.

I use the 'nade launcher all the time. Don't use scavenger though, but I hate how it's even referenced as a noob tube, it's a perfectly valid weapon and does require a level of accuracy for the most part - nor do I understand the utter contempt people hold for those who use it, I've been killed by grenade launchers as much as the next guy and just consider it a normal a death as any other means. What's the beef with it?? It's been the same for years across various games. I usually hear people make excuses about how it's a tool of the skill-less noob but....honestly, have you ever seen a truly bad player using the 'nade launcher? It's hilariously pathetic. I've had grenades fly about 2 meters over my head from ten meters away.
People who whinge and whine about noob this, noob that, lucky grenade this, launcher that, perk this, attachment that....jesus, get the hell over yourself. It's a game, let people enjoy it the way they like. And hey - even if it wasn't, soldiers use grenade launchers in real life too. I actually find a lot of those who complain the most about noobs and noob attributes are those smug arrogant players whose opinions of themselves far outweigh the reality of their skill. I'll never forget playing Battlefield 2 with the boards community over the years, meeting one or two absolutely pathetic armchair soldiers being incredibly vocal and all knowing about tactics, weapons and what constituted 'true skill', yet being decidedly completely average skill wise despite all their arrogant rants. Sorry, obviously 98% of the guys were great, but this whole berating of people over their weapon choices gets on my tits big time more than anything else. The only thing that irks me in Modern Warfare is not campers per se; I consider holding a good point a completely acceptable practice; but those people who hide in bizarre places like behind units, in grass, in corners of rooms, waiting for someone to walk by. Now that - that ruins the game, and fills me with sheer unbridled rage.
No....long live the 'noob tube' I say! Scar+Launcher+FMJ, wouldn't be without it.
My class is Scar with Launcher and FMJ/Glock 18, Bling, Hardline and Commando Pro. For smaller maps like Favela I ditch that for the P90 or Vector. I've been called noob so many times but....i just don't care. I've honestly never once called someone a noob either. I loathe that word beyond words themselves.0 -

i just find it annoying when you have the same player who will die shoot off 2 grenades randomly as soon as he spawns and then repeats this cycle for the whole game
i do agree with you on that sometimes it can require a degree of skill like when your rooting out a camper or when your predicting player movements rather than just randomley shooting0 -
Forgot about Danger Close actually. Never used it - how much does it increase the damage radius? I guess I would have to admit the radius is already large enough that any bigger would become incredibly annoying on several maps. Though on the other hand, the other part of me goes back to the whole principle that it's a real life weapon and few games are ever solely about skill anyway, unless you're playing 1v1. No-one likes getting shot in the back, right? But it's just part of the game and it hardly makes the killer a noob despite the fact that no skill is utilized in shooting someone in the back. It's a pity there isn't a system like in Battlefield where you can see how your kills break down between the weapons though.
One of the funnier things I've seen lately is people using the javelin as a mortar (or the RPG, whichever one it is). I was gotten a few times, and you can't attribute it to anything save luck, and all I could do was say...wow. Inventive.
I do think though it would be cool if there was a game mode in which you can only use iron sight weapons. I wouldn't consider the launcher any loss whatsoever, but as an inherent part of any modern FPS title unlikely to ever go away, I have no problem with it or its use to any extent whatsoever. 'Noobtubing' is rarely the deciding factor in victory, skill is, regardless of the way that skill is utilized.0 -
