Noobtubers

So i was playing free for all in afgan and i got got killed 15 times from noobtubes , i raved ,ranted and cursed .
I then set up a noobtube class and i have to say ..........bloody brillant , noobtube with claymore and scavenger pro , say no more .
Totally skillless but a lot of fun.

Your view ?

It is awesome fun. You can pull off some fun long distance kills with it. And it drives people mad. Especially if you're top of the scoreboard :P

I presume you have danger close on too? I prefer one man army with mine instead of scavenger though.

love it meself especially the long range kills and plus it winds up the americans:D

Penn · 18-02-2010 08:58AM

I love it. About 2 nights ago on Derail, I fired one from outside, through the first floor window of the building in the middle of the map and got a headshot with it. I'd say the other guy was seriously p*ssed

But really, there's nothing better than knowing some guys are in a building, slowly raising the gun trying to calculate the distance, firing, and getting 2/3 kills. Sure, some people just fire blindly and hope for the best. But when used skillfully its a great asset

GavRedKing · 18-02-2010 09:11AM

They are brillant :pac:

Absolutely nothing better then firing it into a room and taking out a few guys with Danger Close on and OMA, spam noobtubes FTW.

I have it on one of my Custom Classes. It's handy to have if you run up against a bunch of campers. I actually really need to use it more. Games like Afghan where people try to all group together and defend an area like the PoppyFields etc. A OMA/DangerClose/Claymore/NoobTube combo would be sweet.

Have a custom class with an ACR w/Noob Tube and a Thumper, together with Scavenger Pro and Danger Close Pro. Makes for some serious lulz if you feel like pissing off the opposition.

Noob Tube + Headquarters = Multikill Frenzy. Also I put Mayrterdom on as killstreak.

just have to ask why is noobtubing classed as a cheap kill. I find them very difficult to pull off but so rewarding.

I have no idea. Like I said, pulling off some difficult longshots takes a fair amount of skill. I don't see much of a difference in that and just lobbing a grenade at them

It's just people whining about getting killed without a "fair" chance to kill you first. If you know someone is sitting in a room, and kill them with a noobtube, fair play. If you have worked out the exact angles to fire a noobtube so you'll land it at a particular flag and take out multiple people, good on you.

Basically ignore the bitchers and use anything that is legit in the game and helps you kill people before they can kill you.

+1. The bitchers are usually the guys sitting in the corner of a room desparately trying to camp their way to a killstreak. NoobTube, Danger close, Scavenger = pwnage.

I am a noobtuber and proud of it.

My favorite was on quarry i got the final kill. Team death match there was 3 of them together (where you come up the ramp and all the barrels are usually there). I had just jump down the hole in the wall at the other end and took aim and launched it. You should have heard them, Cursing me and so on. I am extremely good/Flukey/ lucky on the long shots with the noobtube.

Ken Tucky · 18-02-2010 04:05PM

Sorry about this but...what the hell is noobtube?
Im level 44(and shiiiite) and havent got a scooby doo what you are all talking about!
Please explain....

It's cheap because you can, for all intents and purposes, miss your target and still kill them e.g. by hitting a wall behind them. There's a huge margin for error that still has the pay off of an insta-kill.

Kintarō Hattori · 18-02-2010 04:07PM

I love the Grenade Launcher....... on the right map. For me it really comes into its own on Favela. There are so many buildings with open windows which beg for a grenade to be lobbed in.

Yeah, I only found out the Noobtube name a few weeks ago myself. I even unlocked a title called Noob Tuber

Washington Irving · 18-02-2010 04:23PM

Noobtube is epic win...

If you are a decent shot anyway then hitting grenades through tiny holes across the map isn't actually that hard. Combined with Danger close the blast radius and damage become ridiculous. Seriously, it both doubles the radius and damage of a explosion. I use it but I have more fun not using it. Rarely get killed with one now days anyway, I think people have caught on to the fact that the reload time means its very difficult to pick up decent kill streak runs without dieing after one or two nade's.

And for anybody who wants to post up that vid with the Texan demonstrating how to noob tube, go ahead. I've slaughtered enough people over the last two months who have tried to copy him and had I been playing against him I would have slaughtered him as well.

I've got a two hour window this evening in which you can adore me from a distance.

Point it in the general direction and your sure to put someone down. Want to put into a window , judge the distance put it a little above or what ever the case maybe .
In fairness theres nothing hard about it , just a little fun , especially knowing that the opposition are cursing you.

brian plank · 19-02-2010 01:11AM

i ONLY roll with a pro pipe and silencer on an ACR :cool:. i got a lovely headshot with a grenade on someone from accross the map yesterday while they were running away from me.

Jackobyte · 19-02-2010 01:24AM

When used correctly, it is fantastic.
Then there are people who move around with the grenade constantly attached and will fire it regardless of distance to target, will get 2 kills, be out of grenades, die and start again. This is noob tubing.
Then there are those of us who use it properly. how many of example a can fire a grenade launcher and thumper into the far bunker from the cliff in afghan or into the apartment at the top of the long street from the other end in invasion in their first attempt. That is proper grenade launching, not noobness

I have on class with
scar + m203
thumper
frag
flash
scavenger pro
danger close pro
commando pro

it is deadly. I love it when in wasteland the other team try hold the underground room. 2 well placed shots will clear them all in seconds

Careful now, once you try it you'll never be able to switch back.

Defo trying it now!

knoximus · 19-02-2010 02:07PM

Id recommend 1 man army pro

Rb · 19-02-2010 02:55PM

It's a wonderful anti-camper tool.

Fire a few into the bunkers in afghan and you're assured a few kills.
