COD is a game that really rewards you no matter how good you are. So, in the end, even the worst player in the world can eventually get all the prestige there is to grab and lots of shinies. Bottom line, if you care about the shinies, go for it; everybody and their grandmother can tell how good you are by the body count and method of execution. As for me, I don't feel like going back to get shiny things when my S-Mart, top-of-the-line boom-stick does you just fine.

I keep hearing "Noob Tube" what the hell is that?
Shotgun
And whats wrong with those in close quarters?
Absolutely nothing. I don't call it a noob tube. Personally, I think anyone bitching about certain aspects of a game that everyone has the chance to use should put the controller down, go look in the mirror, and come to the realization that they simply aren't good enough to be playing the game.

I've been ridiculed for using every single class of weapon in CoD:WaW, even bolt action rifles. My question is, what isn't considered noob? Do they need to include a fist fighting class? I'm sure someone would find something to ***** about even then.

Yeah I feel the same way on that one. If you decide to run into someones face with a MP5 and they have the class allowing them to hold two primary weapons and one of them is a shotgun looks like your blown up. You can't plaster Noob on anything just cause. In fact I just picked up CoD 4 maybe 3 days ago and I have been called noob constantly cause of my rank and the "cheap" weapons I use. It's quite ridiculous.

Yes, but at least my gold cross gives me e-peen advantage and the all-important 'Intimidation Factor' when playing Mercenary TDM.
No intimidation factor there. Most 10th prestige uses M16 with Grenade Launcher.
I think you're confused. Most bad 10th prestige players use M16 and/or noob tube. Most good 10th prestige players use a variety of weapons and strategies.
Maybe bad players shouldn't be able to get 10th prestige, eh?

Here is a thought if it fun starting over then when you hit max do you total start over to begin a new or do what I did was get ready to first prestige but never did because it stuped to start over when you worked so hard just for gold things and shiny rank cause it make you a jerk when you are smoug about your rank to others.
... I'm sorry, what did you say? I tried reading it but I ran out of breath. Also, is it a coincidence you have exactly the same Avatar as UltraJoe?

Why not prestige? It gives you more to do and something to work toward. It is also more of a challenge at the beginning.

That's why I stopped using the headset. I keep it plugged in so I don't hear anything coming through the TV, but the volume is all the way down.

I'd play hardcore, but the people who play that are even more fanatic about the game. I was blamed for shooting my team's dogs when there were no dogs around me, just because I had joined mid-match and only had a couple kills. Some people have the wildest imaginations.

Yes they are very pointless, but i didn't really like COD 4 very much; so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

It shows how much of a life you have, the higher it is, the less of a life you have.

No. Noob tube is the grenade launcher.

As a 10th prestiger myself, I don't have a single class with the M16, and I don't like using it. I find the M4 to be much better...fully automatic > burst fire.
Well it's clearly the best gun in the game. If you argue against that then you must play hardcore or something. Still, I only use it for clan matches and "serious" games. I'd much rather snipe or use MP5 most of the time.

Oh man but it's even better when you join a match with maybe 2 to 4 minutes left. Your team loses and they all decide to blam you for draggin their team down with the empty score

Well either way I still want to know what the big fuss is about it. Whats so bad about that. You see a group of enemies. Grenades take too long. "Shump" = Ultra-kill

I have so many counters for "M16 best gun", its not even funny.

1. Burst Fire - you see 3 guys directly in front of you. You burst fire one, maybe two...A fully automatic gun could kill all 3 in half a second, let along a shotgun.
2. Accuracy - Sniper rifle.
3. Grenade Launcher - require LoS to be accurate at all, random grenades are arguably better, as you don't even need to SEE the target to get kills more than half the time.

Even in clan matches and whatnot, I will still use a silenced MP5 + UAV jammer over basically anything. Shotgun + juggernaut also works very well.

Then again, the best gun is all personal preference...and I prefer an accurate, fully automatic assault rifle over any other assault rifle...I don't have a favorite gun, because I realize that many different situations will occur, resulting in one wanting range, or high damage or simply a gun that spews out a ton of bullets.

I can only speak for CoD: WaW here, but the grenade launcher in that game had WAY too big of an explosion radius for a 1-shot kill
I don't know how big it is in CoD4 but if it's the same size I can see why people call it that.

All this talk about the noob tube and class arrangement, it makes me proud that Infinity Ward wanted discussions like this to occur. They added perks so that every game is unique and they added weapons to fit all the circumstances they could think of at the time, so if you ***** about that stuff you are just bitching about how infinity ward made a best-selling game that you dont like

No for CoD 4 the blast radius is like half a regular grenade.
