User blog:Moto1195/Your feelings on the grenade launcher.

Note: Before anyone decides to get their flame on and post comments like "noobtubers are gay and have no skill", READ the post first!

Okay, this is something that I have wanted to talk about since MW2; Why do people think grenade launchers (aka the "noobtube") is ONLY a noob weapon that make people bad at the game? I mean sure, they do require little to no skill to use and make for an easy and effortless kill, but that doesnt make us a total noob. The perk Flak Jacket has existed sinse COD4 that can help protect you from being killed by explosives (that most people dont use they are too busy using Stopping power, Juggernaut, or Ghost), and because of that 95% of the people get pissed off when they get killed by a noobtube. I laugh when people send me messages calling me a "gay noobtuber" and I send them a message back saying "use flak jacket". To me, when it comes to noontubers, there are two different kinds:


 * Noob: Someone who runs around a match using nothing but a noobtube to get kills. They will normally camp and wait for a single enemy to pass by, normally using both grenades if they somehow happen to miss or spam the enemies with grenades the whole time. A common perk is Sleight of Hand, as it allows for quick reloading and firing in rapid succession. These types can be seen in any game mode, but I commonly find them in non-objective based games (Free-For-All & Team Death Match)
 * Pro: Someone who can play a match using a noobtube efficiently and tacticaly when neccesary. They play the game like normal and use a noobtube when out numbered, unable to kill a enemy by normal means, or to protect an objective from a safe distance. Perks dont matter as long as they get the job done. Like a noob, they can be found in any game mode, but can actually be beneficial to the team.

When used properly, grenade launchers arent totally noobish weapon. People just need to learn that there are ways to protect yourselves and that they can use them too.

Thats how I feel about them. How do you?
