What does that mean? People who tubers are killers or the people who use them are killers?

I've seen some awsome tubers. Been "owned" (I hate that word) by some of them. But then there are the very bad, bad tubers who have no talent. Who kill you, their teammate, and themselves. Very bad. In that case:

Tubers are NTACs
What I mean is I can't understand this 'noob-toob' mentality...If someone is good at killing with a grenade launcher, surely that makes them good with that weapon?

It's the people who jump like retards who annoy me. If someone blows my head off with a grenade launcher that's MY lookout.

<edit> lol JUST got what you meant...yea sorry...my statement was a little vague lol

Nah, I can't count high enough to say how many times I have been the gunner in a tank that just drives off to die.  Tanking well takes skill.  I've done quite a lot of it and its my favorite part of the game.  I am rarely killed by tanks because I know their drawbacks.  If you are having a problems with an opponents tactics, try those tactics for yourself and see what is needed to stop them.  This applies to tubing the same way.

Never judge someone until you walk a mile in their shoes.  Then when you judge them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Lawk,

How do you drive those things? What are the drawbacks?

I rarely get into a tank because I'm one of those people who seem to think that enemy bombs are donuts that I must eat. Not to mention my tank must have some sort of C4 magnet attachment.

How do you drive 'em? Carefully. But seriously.

w = forward
s = backward
a = left (left tread slower than right)
d = right (right tread slower than left)
mouse = turret
left click = cannon
right click = MG

Avoid bombs and anti tank missiles by sticking close to cover, just as you would as infantry.

Avoid surprise anti-tank(Mines, C4) by avoiding cover or where those little sneaky bastards hide.

I never deploy smoke while fighting..  I notice whenever my opponent deploys smoke I can usually fire into it and kill him.  Since he cant see me, well, you get it.  Smoke can be effective when making and exit though.  Usually to return to the fight from another location.

Keep the front(hardest) side towards the battle, the back and treads are the weakest.  Try to be in constant motion while fighting.

Oh yeah, nating, you might want to live that engineer life a little more because a wounded tank is a dying tank.  Zero kills with a shotgun, yikes.  Although I shouldn't talk, my assualt rifle ratio/accuracy could use some work.

Wow, do i ever ramble.

Thanks...

Pretty much don't be a dumb ass (like me). I tend to stay in the open until I get close to flag then I get close to buildings (no common sense).

I should know better since I love C4ing crap.

Simple solution...bring back Berlin from DC Final.  No tanks...just a couple of trucks and INFANTRY ONLY!! 

Keep the freaking grenade launchers...everyone can n00b tube it up!!  Without the tanks though, you can't complain about noobzilla... 

They're just uneven when all you have is a machine gun, and they have a 1 shot/1 kill weapon.  But then again, when is war really fair, and if you did have a weapon that was better than your emeny's, would you not use it?  I hate the grenade launcher, but honestly, I can't truly complain about it...it sucks, but that's the way it is...

Yeah I would be down for some Berlin.  Rather have some NEW infantry based maps though.

Noobzilla?(I cant believe i typed the word "noob")  Its a freakin tank.  Stay away.  If you're infantry on the ground, tank equals bad.  I still get poeple charging my M1A1 with an m203.  Its a tank.  For the love of cheese, man, go hide somewhere or i'm gonna blast you back to the womb!

I love the grenade launcher. Then again, I've been accused of being a no-skill-noob on this board (because my K:D ratio is less than 1). Forget the fact I have a 60% accuracy with the grenade launcher. Forget the fact I have never created a new username after I got "better".

The grenade launcher is a very effective weapon against a lot of things. It takes 3-4 grenades to take out a fully healthy chopper. Ever saw a chopper capping a flag? Stand under it, fire a grenade. It will first start rotating because it hasn't got the faintest idea where that came from. Fire a second one. This is usually the time they take off to repair their damage. If they don't they're yours.

Ever saw a low flying transport chopper? Fire a grenade inside. You can kill them all inside with just one grenade.

Another reason I love the grenade launcher is because it enables me to fire behind stuff.

It was on Karkand I guess. I see three guys laying on the ground capping the flag. They were stupid enough to cuddle up together. So I fire a grenade and kill all three with one shot. On of the guys starts a vote to kick me off saying I ruin the game for everyone by using the grenade launcher. For the entire round he tries to vote me off. I bump into him on the map and he starts bunny-hopping like there's no tomorrow. He wants me off for using the grenade launcher, but he's a bunny-hopping "noob" himself...

Sure, I get killed a lot too by the grenade launcher. But that's only when I run around the map like a headless chicken. Now I'm just more careful. It actually makes the game more exciting.

And don't forget, the grenade launcher has only 5 grenades and reloading takes forever. There are other weapons out there that can take out more people in a much shorter time and still have ammo to spare.

I play as assault. I use the grenade launcher like crazy. Getting good with it. If I dont kill the enemy with the GL, I switch and use the AK-101. Sometimes "bunny hop", like you people call it. I do it alot now since my mouse isnt working as well.... has made the change from the GL to the AK a bit hard. Tend to take out my gun or knife lately. FORTUNATLY, tomorrow is pay day!! Ill buy a new mouse. I havent gotten comfortable with using the nr. buttons to switch weapons. So I only use the... whats it called in english? Probably just called the wheel or something.
If a game has a great weapon, of course I will use it. If you get a chanse to use the Tank, you will. Chopper? You will use it too. Right? If you have a favourite kit that you use alot... then it must be because you think its a good kit.. good weapons. Whats wrong with that? Why do i never see complaints about people using the chopper, tank or jet alot? If you cant run for cover, you are pretty much dead. See a guy with the grenade launcher, you have a chanse. Some say; dont stand a chanse if you come running around the corner and then you meet one of these "noob tubers". You dont stand much of a chanse if you run into people who are medics, engineers or what ever and they get a head shoot. Of course, much harder to do that, but ALOT of people have great accuracy.
People have complained about me too, of course. While pleying. "Fight like a man. Stop using the noob tube." Stoped using it alot of times and still killed the people who complained. Get killed by the GL or something else..... dont make much difference. You are still dead. Or critical wounded. What ever. What really irritates me is when you spawn in an artillary attack. Then get hit by it 1 second after waiting 15 seconds. Other things are cheaters and glicthes. Some people say that some things makes the game unrealistic! Like the GL, well.. is spawing, after getting killed , in your base after 15 seconds realistic? Getting healed by a medic, parachuting safely down buildings everytime and so on and so on, is that realistic? Why dont they complain about that too then?
When people "bunny hop" all the time, i have to admit, its a bit irritating, but only the times i get killed by them. Just then. Its a great way to avoid getting killed. But as i said, i dont do it that much. When i shoot, when i am not using the GL, i lay down. More accurate as you all know.
I also think things like noob, n00b, and other things people write is irritating to read. Its not even a real word. English is a great language, simple and easy to learn. Dont have to "polute" it with stupid things like that. Dont mean to offend anyone, so i am sorry if anyone got offended.

This is just my opinion. See you in the game... cause its only a game.

Ow, by the way... BF2 is the first and only PC game i have ever bought. Damn i must say i am happy with it. Never did like playing with keybord and a mouse. But im getting the hang of it.
One day I will start improving on the other kits too.

I can understand thinking to yourself, Hmmmm there's like 5 people right there, i think ill nail them all with a nade launcher, but I just can't imagine using it over and over, only switching weapons when you're out of ammo.

And bunny hopping is fine in my opinion. I mean, its a GAME. But i do think your accuracy should go down ALOT when you jump. Especially with the shotguns. The reticle needs to move a LITTLE at least, even though it is pretty fun to pwn the n00bt00bers with an M11-87 to the face.

I ESPECIALLY HATE when im a sniper trying to cap a flag(happens alot for some reason or other), and all i have is a pistol, and I can acutally SEE the noobs switching from assault rifle to n00bt00b.

Just had a funny thought (depending on your view) just imagine coming back after serving in Iraq to find out the world has labeled the weapon you trained with as 'the N00B T00B'. lol

How embarrasing

Only be embarrassing if the game launcher was actually similar to the real launcher.  So... I don't think there will be a problem.

Its easy to distinguish between the two.

well... good hand grenading shuts everyone up I've learnt to pop a greande high enough so it blows immediately touching ground, done it over walls etc to some success. Even if it doen't kill him its a lot more versatile.

I like the grenade launcher. I unload one into a room before I run in before I dash with with 3 shot burst, I fire at tank treads futilely in hopes that I will actually damage the tank enough. Its great to stop jihad jeepers. One shot into a jeeo or FAV. Vodnik needs a little more damage though.

Bunny hoppers? Pah. I just prone and take them out with a clean 3 shot burst. What i can't stand are shotgun bunnyhoppers. DAO or jackhammer or anything. I got so mad I took on this guy at his own game and I told myself I was going to pistol him while I'm at it. So at the railway tracks of gulf of oman you see this two idiots jumping all over the place. I dolphin dive perfetly too, so I did it. And I even managed to get a knife kill out of it. Just whip out your knife, hop/dive all over the place while clicking non-stop.

*fervertly thanks quake 1-3 for all the experience* But to be honest. Screw bunny hopping, screw dolphin diving. Sure, when i do it i get killed much much much less, but its spoiling my own enjoyment. This ain't some fragfest with jumppads, killing that guy isn't my objective, neither is some uber1337 kill score. If an assault guy puts a grenade in my face (after missing his first 2 and bunnyhopping furiously to reload), I'll just respawn as assault too and take him out cleanly with my GL or my rifle (some people are not worth wasting grenades on)

I don't mind the Grenade Launcher being used from a distance...it's those point blank bunny hoppers that use it as their primary weapon.  It is being done more and more now from what I have seen.  Just got of a 64 player server playing city maps and don't know how many Bunny Hopping Noobtubers I seen.  Funny if they fire and miss the go hopping around trying to reload....What I would find GREAT is if DICE ever patched the bunny hopping issue.  How many players will start complaining then!?!? 
I use the Launcher, but not at pointblank and I use it as a Secondary weapon.  I will hop when a get near a corner or something when getting shot at, yet this is 1 hop to dive to safety...not constant hopping.

I don't know why...but I find the last "paragraph" you wrote to be freaking hilarious.  I've noticed that too.  I don't play as sniper often, but it's funny to watch a guy switch to something you know you're going to die with.  I'll usually take my claymores and throw them out if that happens.  One guy came over to hump me after I was dead...as he ran away after the humping, he got killed by my claymore.

That's what I'm talking about.  I've used it to shoot against a wall a guy was laying at...easier to kill.  The guys that just kill with it and don't even bother to pull out a gun that shoots bullets need to die and do nothing but suck cock in hell.  Just my honest opinion though...

The way I see it, Is if you have to Jump to Shoot the Grenade Launcher in order to Kill the Enemy and Keep yourself Alive at same Time and Not get Caught In Your Own Blast, Your a Noob and I Hate you.

Only thoes who are Accurate and Skilled who can Just Point and Shoot at a Distance can be Considder'd good. Sure we all Hate Just falling Down Dead at Random unexpectedly, But Thats The Beauty of the Grenade Launcher, You shouldn't Expect it.

Thoes Who Aim Right At The Ground to Kill/Suicide. FUCK YOU!!!!
