    alright sorry mr.i'llrepeatthatitsagame4000times.I obviously am going to moan about something I don't like.Why shouldn't I?It's a forum for discussion.
    Also,it's not that they don't suit me,I can use them if i want,I just don't see the point of killing somebody that way when I get no satisfaction out of it,knowing that I just cheated a kill.

    Also nice generic "think before you post" comeback.Sadly enough,it's not relevant here.

    Honestly,wouldn't you feel happier if nobody used any of the "nooby" things?

    You nailed it on the head there. "when I get no satisfaction out of it"

    Each to their own, no ??

    Tbh i'd prefer if there was no grenade launchers at all or painkiller.

    But there is and i've just got to deal with it. Pretty simple.


    In fairness someone has to die 4 times in a row to get painkiller , and it only lasts for 10 seconds , dont see what the big deal is.

    Out of interest, how does this wreck your head. I presume it's when "your" team gets annihilated, so why haven't you saved the team by getting out your stinger? ;):)

    I do the majority of the time, anyone who plays with me on here can tell you I take out most of the harriers/pavelows and even uav's on games. But its hard to when you're standing there looking up waiting for a stinger to lock on and your team isnt giving any support so you get blasted, which is usually what happens with randoms, I've had a few boardsies back me up for this at times, and vice versa.

    There is no big deal. That's what i've been saying all along.

    I don't care what set up people use i honestly don't give a sh1t, things are there to be used and you've got to use your own cop on to find ways to counteract them.

    I was asked if i'd prefer the game without these things and i've said yes.
    I don't feel the need for them as there's already a huge selection of things to use.

    get a grip yourself,do you honestly think that painkiller is fair?or that camping is fair?Just cause it's in the game doesn't mean it's "fair".

    yeah i'll whinge on this if i want to,especially if its full of mongoloids like yourself that think that they're the dogs bollocks if they get a few kills from tubes.

    and no i'm not one of those "fools".I'd dominate you on this,believe me....

    Well Stopping Power isnt "fair" either, some guy is using the same gun as you but his has more oomph as he has SP on it, none of the perks are fair when you consider it, they're all there to counteract another. Commando and Danger Close are the ones most people have a problem with, but I couldnt care less if someone is using Sitrep and spots a claymore I put down and shoots it to "cheat" me out of a kill.

    and its only a game, relax.

    Use whatever setup you want. I dress the way I want but I don't have tools passing me by in the street calling my a noob because they don't like the sh*t I'm wearing.

    You just need to adapt to the game you find yourself in and change your class next time you die.

    I've got this great image of you walking down the street wearing a jumper on backwards or something being called a noob now. :o:p

    It can be with an unfair spawn system that promotes revenge kills.

    I do use Danger Close, though only on C4. It sucks that the DC emblem is regarded as nooby tho.

    Two times that come to mind when I have been called a noob are: Once I killed an entire team with the last MG with extended mags, and when I killed a guy with a M4. Some people just love complaining.

    Only in ffa maybe , In team matches if you spawn trap a team , then you will probably see a lot of painkiller, In fairness its probably their only chance of getting out.

    Not too sure why you were called a noob for using the m4 , probably one of the weakest of a/r's imo.

    People complaining about perks really irks me. So someone knifed you with Commando pro, so what, next time that person is snooping around maybe you'll have SitRep Pro on and be a better shot. Stopping Power or Danger Close got you beat on a few maps? Hard luck, better luck next time. Etc. The variety of perks are in the game so nobody has a solid advantage, 1 negates 2, 2 negates 3, 3 negates 1.

    Someone choosing one of the 'unfair' perks closes off options for themselves by doing so, thus letting the opposition out-tactic them. That 14-year old from Wisconsin may have Commando on, but that just means he can't use Ninja.

    Except Scrambler, it's a disadvantage.

    /offtopic

    I am a noob, i've only been playing the game for a week and I run-and-gun because I have fun doing it (also because I can't snipe for crap). I enjoy watching my killcams to out-flank my killer and doing so earns me a lot of insults. I use Commando Pro one match out of every three because the no falling damage is great for escapes.

    I won a free for all a while back just using the usp45 with no attachments, and got a hail of abuse from the americans saying im a noob.

    Now if i was a noob (new player to the game i presume) and i can beat them with just a handgun then what does that make them?

    I dont take it seriously but it definitely gets irritating after a while!

    weell the way some people go on, everythinng is Noobish, which is quite frankly a joke.

    I enjoy playing the game for what it is, a game.

    No matter how you kill someone and with no matter comboination of gun/perk/playing style, someone will take offence to it and call you a noob.

    I just get on with and play whatever way I want, im sure everyone has used a so called "noob loadout" before.

    I enjoy the abusive messages:Dalthough I have stopped being overly rude back because A)some pr1ck reported my motto(Im a cunny funt=3 day ban:eek:)and dont wanna pick up anymore and b)as annoying as boosters are,it aint right calling a ten year old a penis licker:D

    As for using commando pro and whatever else,fukk it its in the game,its there to be used so let em at it.Tbh how often in a game do you get killed with commando pro?once maybe twice,if that?camping snipers p1ss me off more tbh

    camping snipers are easy kills as they will always go back to the same spot i like to tease them with the kill cam and leave c4 where i shot them from :D

    It's an absolute myth that the Marathon Lightweight Commando (MLC) combo is OP. I totally agree you rarely get killed by one. The problem is you always seem to be on the verge of a Harrier, Pave Low, CG etc when some fkr lunges through a hail of bullets and knifes you from 15 feet.:eek: A good MLC player is hard to beat but most are just shotgun fodder.

    My definition of camping is staring at a door/area hoping for someone to come through it. You can "tactically defend" an area which some people confuse with camping.

    Very true, I've no issue with a team holding one area of the map, like the house on Estate, or one side of Salvage, which is really easy to do, I didnt like that map at all untill I started playing Ground Wars on it, now its one of my favourites, especially for Domination games as holding C can be great fun.

    I have to say HBS is noobyer then a grenade launcher

    I have disagree with you there. (very dangerous, I know).
    I have one class with a HB just for taking out noobs. Although I do not like using it against low levels, I use it to clear areas of those with Commando and Steady Aim [odd time SR and Scrambler].

    Epic Fail.

    Heartbeat Sensor. dur durrrrr.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    Heart-beat sensor, also known as Scanner, Aliens motion-tracker and Baby-Monitor.

    The grenade launcher isn't too bad really, the only problem I have with it is people respawning and automatically switching over to it for quick, easy kills. It's meant to be for shooting over walls, rooting out snipers with easy AoE damage and humiliating people with a grenade impact strike. Relying on it for kills is probably the reason people call it the noob-tube. Good job the splash damage isn't too huge and its two-shell capacity or else they'd have to seriously reconsider it's implementation.

    I've had people complaining to me about using my SPAS +silencer, but really, it may be quite a powerful weapon, but the gap between shots can be a death sentence to someone just spraying pellets around. Takes the luck to get close enough for a kill and the skill to hit centre-mass. The silencer may make it a sneakier kill, but it also reduces the effective range to a couple of feet, it's just too bad the person on the other end of it didn't hear me coming :)

    Tut... heartbeat sensors are shite, they give the player a massive disadvantage imo, especially at a disadvantage to someone wearing ninja. But theres nothing to counteract noobtubes, therefore they are the "noob" weapon of choice.

    I've found running straight at the 'noob-tuber' to be somewhat effective. Means they have to get a direct hit or hit the ground directly behind you to kill you.

    ...sometimes.
