Well I've never really complained about noob-tubers before but anyway, what pisses me off big time are Javelin Jockeys (just made that up then ;)) but yeah, people get a Javelin out and then cook a Semtex so when you kill them they explode. It's essentially a super martyrdom. But it's almost impossible to beat them because 9 times out of 10, when they are killed the explosion will kill the other person as well, unless they are miles away.

I haven't seen anyone doing it on Rust yet, but that would be carnage! Still, definitely a trick for one who is absolutely **** at playing the game normally :P.


----

Another funny thing that I've seen a couple of times are people working as a team on free-for-alls. The reason it's funny is because there were two people doing it on Quary. They were camping on the walkway at the very top of that building which has the various levels of walkways, but they were speaking to each other in the public game chat. So when I went there and got killed by one, he/she was saying to his mate, 'I'm back at that place, I dunno if he knws where we are, he might not have watched the kill-cam' LMAO and then they were even saying, 'he might be able to hear us'. Then when I finally spoke they were like, 'get out of our business' :S LOL.

People who use tactical insertions together and just keep killing each other are funny as well. I came across two and just pwned them both, and on a game I finished second on yesterday, the final kill-cam was two people hovering over a tactical insertion and one just knifed the other. FUNNY STUFF :)

btw Emergency Air-drop is the best perk ever.

oh god noob tubers are one of my biggest hates ever
i literally shout at the tv screen with abuse whenever i get killed by one
especially those who carry the grenade attachments in maps like vacant, for example

This is a dumb glitch that needs to be sorted quite quickly really, also they need to remove the rust pipe glitch, I haven't seen it but my friend has had my copy of the game for a few weeks now but I read about it last week and it's just stupid, they will always get it as a payback kill aswell, best way to avoid it is just not to shoot people who are cooking grenades then they can't get you with it.

Haha I love the Rust pipe glitch, I've never used it in a game though. It's impossible to do on FFA because it takes too long and you just get killed.

Patch is coming today, around 5pm. Just needs to be approved my Microsoft.
I prefer to call Noob Tubes, Pro Pipes as they have a smaller blast radius than grenades and take more skill to kill someone than chucking a nade.
One Man Army, Danger Close + Tactical Tube = win

Emergency air drop isn't a perk, and the placement is bad, even if you call it in an open space they still go out the map and stuff, and your team mates try grab everything.

not once has any of my air drops landed outside the thing nor has anyone stole it. It does it fast for you and so by the time you realise ones being stolen you go over to it and steal lol

Care Package takes 8 seconds.
Emergency Airdrop takes 15 seconds.
The radius of drop for the Emergency Airdrop is x5 of what a care package is.

There is nothing pro about noob tubes, they are pretty much 1 hit kill whether they direct hit or not, they have much higher range than a thrown grenade and the person you're shooting has almost no time to react to it, nothing pro about that at all, not to mention just about every noobtuber does it at close range, not so much noobtubing across the map.

not exactly what i was saying though was it. I was just telling of my experiences with airdrops and lolling at people who have thrown it stupidly and its landed on buildings or outside

PaulMacC

You cant exactly control the airspace of an Emergency Airdrop. It's x5 bigger than a Care Package and your obviously not going to throw it right into the middle of the map.

no but youd have common sense to put the grenade somewhere where its not possible to land outside a map or on a building.

07-12-2009, 05:32 PM
ok...
skidrow, you do it in the car park and hide until they come.
estate, either farthest away from the house, so near the generators, or in the trees near the house
underpass, in the carpark near the two buildings
quarry, two places: the actual slide for where racks can slide down from irl, you go right down there and keep going to the back of the map. Or in the other direction where people can stand on a skip and shoot people through the gap in the wall

and many more.

How can you say that? :S Grenades require a lot more skill as you need to time them well and judge the height of the throw accurately. With a noob tube you can just aim at the person and if you miss chances are you'll hit a wall or object near them so they die anyway. It's much easier to avoid a grenade than it is to get away from a noob tube, you can even throw grenades back at them. Grenades clearly require more skill.

Yeah I meant kill-streak reward sorry. With air-drops/care packages/sentry guns you quickly learn how not to throw the flair. On free-for-alls it's more fun to have to fight off other people for the air-drops. You can get lots of kills if you hang back as everyone rushes in, then gather it all up yourself and get even more kills!

Noob tubes pro?

What are you smoking they take the same skill (Which is point zero) To throw a grenade, You aim. Shoot/Throw.

Noobtubes have double the range as a grenade or more

Semtex blast radius and damage count is x1.5 that of Grenades in CoD4.
Where as Grenade Launchers have 120 damage per blast and only a x0.7 radius of a grenade.
I'm joking, it's just I don't know why people call Grenade Launcher's "nooby" when Grenades are just even noobier.

Although I find that hilarious, it's a bit harsh. Finding exploits in the game which is the fault of their coding shouldn't be punished. I'd even argue that I thought when you died, you dropped the grenade which caused the explosion. Something like the Rust pipe glitch would be more understandable but then again, how do you prove who has done it?

I think they're going to moderate games alot harsher and anyone found scoring a Javelin kill immediatley after they've been killed will be investigated for like another 2-3 matchs and if found to be repeatedly doing it, banned. Thats a pretty decent guess of mine I reckon. However, unfortunatley, I'm not a noob, fire my Javelin missle, I die, and then afterwards it lands and kills people, so, I hope they dont mistake innocent players.

They're pretty decent at the start of the game and you can see half of the map, fire it there, the enemy dont see it coming, boom. Its alright, not that practical though, has to lock on first.

You can lock the Javelin onto a piece of ground, people always done it randomly before the Javelin glitch to pray people would run into it, PaulMacC would do that to land on got a quad Javelin before, lol :P

One guy on my friends list has been banned from XBL for one week because he did the javelin semtex thing.

Model 1887 should be a primary weapon for sure and put under as a sniper rifle those things are overpowered and the range is stupidly good.

Black_Apalachi
09-12-2009, 01:27 PM
I haven't had too much trouble to be fair, I had a couple of games with people doing it just before I made this thread.

Lol I love killing people with air drops. I had a sentry gun coming down and this guy was gonna rob it off me but it bounced and hit him in the face!! :P

as much as i love the akimbo models, it's frustrating when you get killed by them from stupidly long distances. the accuracy is supposed to go down on akimbo, but with the models it seems to go up.

I dont have a problem with the 1887's. I have more of a problem that only happened to me once and it was last night. I got shot with an attatched shotgun on a Famas, from quite a distance I have to say. Apart from that, I dont have a problem at all, apart from getting stabbed.

Sub-shotguns compensate damage for distance. Every pellet of the shell must have hit you in order to kill you as each pellet does 20 damage and the shells contain 5 pellets.

As far as I'm concerned, anyone who knows all the points that each type of bullet causes in damage and the amount of points players have in health etc, needs to take a break from the game. All that certainty puts me off the game anyway.

Thats not even a reply. Thats just an explanation of how the damage on a shotgun works. If you went into a Private Match, looked at the two locations, saw the distance, you'd be pretty bloody shocked is all Im saying.
