It's annoying sometimes, but it's a viable tactic so I can't complain. Meh. Especially since I like knifing. Lol.

I abused it a while ago to get the shotgun attachment for my FAL, but aside from that I hardly use them. I don't really mind it that much. What's bad is when people honestly fire more 'nades from their guns than bullets, that's when it gets frustrating. Use, don't abuse.
i play mw2 once in a while so im not a serious player by any means and i can't say i like being killed by "le tube de noob" but its a part of the game and i honestly don't think its any less fair than anything else in the game
As my name suggests, I don't really care if I get noob tubed. I don't care at all. I suck at fpses.
They're annoying because they are a) cheap and b) overpowered.
I have posted that video at least three times on this site, and I will keep doing it until people realise why people complain it so much.

blast shield+riot shield, survive anything but direct hit. Or just noob toob him back. Or avoid the chokepoints. I've never had a problem with them. But maybe it's just how I play but everything in that game has a counter.FightThePower said:
Can't I execute you for treason because you're an abomination for using it?
In CoD 4 they at least made it so it took up a perk slot, which balanced it out. In MW2 they give no drawbacks to using it! There's no balance, there's just senseless, noobish slaughter! Blargh Infinity Ward for destroying that balance. It is the one blunder in an otherwise great game.

Dear god... I hadn't watched the video until I had just posted... This is the epitome of what is wrong with the noobtube. Hell, he might have even been able to do that with scavenger too! Perks should not be allowed to restore noobtube ammo or equipment.FightThePower said:
join game
player whines about tubes
create-a-class
overkill, 2AR's with tubes, M16 and M4 (because MW2 is filth in my eyes and i will never pay for it)
matyrdom for 3rd perk
tube the shit out of the game, rush when out of tubes to die
repeat, with smile
guy quits.
damn, if IW didn't fuck up (if you don't know, don't ask, i don't want to rant) i'd enjoy whoring OMA and danger close tubes.
for awhile.

I have no problem with it when its used for what it was made for, such as enemies hiding in covering not, because someone can't aim otherwise.
Blast Shield and Riot Shield will help you to survive the explosions, but try actually killing him. You move so slowly with the Riot Shield and have no real primary so anyone of his teammates can just pop you - even he can, he can just turn off the noobtube and circle-strafe you.sneakypenguin said:
Noobtubing him back doesn't solve the problem. Then it just turns the game into a one-dimension grenade launcher spam; fun at first, but quickly gets dull. Surely being forced to use the same class against him shows that that class is actually overpowered?
Noob Tubing is using an under barrel grenade launcher on an assault rifle in an FPS game. It usually results in a one hit kill for a splash radius of about 10-15 feet and damages for another 5-10 out of the kill circle. Some would say they're the cheapest and most game breaking thing in FPS games, others would say the complete opposite.ethaninja said:
