Infinite, Rapid Fire Grenade Launcher?

[Zweiblumen]

Find me a game where the rifle-mounted grenade launcher isn't referred to as a noob tube. It takes little skill, and is usually an instant kill.

I don't really play FPS's, so I'm not going to go out of my way to find other examples, but isn't that what a grenade does? Pretty much an instant kill/maim in real life, right? Aren't the shotguns in the game usually an instant kill too? What about the knife?

Considering that the grenade launcher has a bigger AoE as well as a much bigger range comparing those together is not really valid. Though of course the akimbo 1887s are as horrible (to me) as the grenade launcher, but the only advantage the knife has over other weapons is being usable during sprinting so he's in no way like the grenade launcher.

Also, picking up a grenade will leave you vulnerable, where as having your grenade launcher ready doesn't really do you much harm. Add to that that you are given no clue that a grenade is being launched at you, as opposed to it being thrown (that is if it isn't cooked for a long time, but then the one throwing it can't defend himself for a longer time).

And now they've given this weapon, along with all other explosive devices, the potential to have endless ammo.

I had that too, its quite obviously a hacked server.

That kind of thing ruins the game.........

Ok, well thanks for explaining. I guess I thought that players thought anyone that used it was a "noob", when in fact all people of all skill levels can utilize it if they choose to. I guess my opinion would be to stay away from the guy with the grenade launcher, if it is really that unfair of a weapon.

Just happened today. Joined a match by the way.

I seriously doubt that valve can get anything done in two weeks.

Maybe two weeks in Valve time (aka about a year and a half).

Or maybe they'd just release the next game in the series before ever fixing the bugs glitches and imbalances, leaving the initial product you shelled out full price for broken and abandoned.

Either way.

I joined a MW2 server... and people were firing the noob tube as if it were a semi-auto rifle. I saw someone get 20 rounds off without stopping. Can I ask what the hell is going on? Has IW officially dropped the ball?

EDIT: Alright peoples, THIS ISN'T SCAVENGER OR ONE MAN ARMY.

They are firing at a rate of 3/second. They aren't reloading. I have seen 20 fired before the first one hits the ground. Thanks.


EDIT2: Look here:

Right away, he goes crazy with the Grenade launcher, then about 1:30 in, you see the AC130 big gun fire like a machine gun. Tell me if that is scavenger or one man army.

It's probably a glitch.

Me and all of my friends who play this game have had nothing but glitched up games tonight, where ammo is infinite and doesn't need reloading, 18 player matches on rust, you get the idea.

Probably a glitch from the recent patch. Secondly it would work on private servers because the patch was applied OFFLINE as well as online. I know, because I tried to glitch on a LAN match and it autokilled me. Secodly I'm thinking it was just shoddy coding in the patch that change from auto-launching javelins to auto firing noob tubes.

everyone that's saying scavenger or hacks is stupid. It's an inherent flaw in the recent patch on all platforms. For one, scavenger doesn't make it so you don't reload or fire AC-130 150mm shells at rapid fire. And secondly, it's happening to everyone, and from personal experience it's near impossible to hack the xbox 360 without a good education in EE.

Happened to me today as well. Freakin automatic rpg's? this is such bullshit.

 

[TOGSolid]

Noob tube?

My thoughts exactly. I don't play, but have come to love watching the drama unfolding behind this game.

it has been called the noob tube pretty much since mw came out, dno if it was called it before that...

It's been called the noob tube for ages. MW hardly started that, it just made it an even more well known term.

 

[rileyrulesu]

just joined 2 of those games on the 360 today everyone had it and it worked for equipment too

 

[Blitzkrieg8]

I join a game like this i never ran out of ammo somehow

I got an AC 130 it was great

This was exactly what it was like when I joined a match last night.

I admit it was fun for the first few mins then got really old.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

fuck the noob-tubers, we need to do something about these knife runners

Don't forget the dual 1887's and rangers, overpowered shit.

WHY DO THEY GET TO HAVE AKIMBO SHOTGUNS?!?!
AND OF COURSE ONLY THE 'LEET' PLAYERS WITH THEIR STUPID HIGH RANKS ARE ALLOWED THIS, SO IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR A LOW LEVEL PLAYER TO HAVE AN EVEN BATTLE AGAINST THESE DUMBASSES!

 

[Rancid0ffspring]

Either hackz or he was running scavenger and just kept picking up ammo.

If it's the pc version I would say hackers if consoles I would say scavenger.

People are hacking on the PS3 at least.

Dunno about 360.

Then again don't really keep up with it. Find it funny but otherwise not my thing (the drama being funny the game being not my thing).

This was on a couple of games for me today as well. I'm running a 360. Good to know i'm not going crazy... that is of course unless this thread is part of my delerium... hmmm

Best multiplayer experience since NAKED Twister!

I had to fix that for you. Twister is good, but naked twister is better

That really depends on who you play it with... and the male/female ratio. I love my buddies but I don't particularly want thier hairy ballsacks in my face...

Scavenger Perk Allows you to restock any weapon. Including the Grenade Launcher attachment.

unfortunately for this idea scavenger only works when you run over the body of someone who is already dead. Unless he was constantly walking over corpses he was hacking
