^ Exactly. Noobtubes as a primary is ridiculous. They can be used tactically, but the noobs use it completely against its purpose.

Plus, I've used blast shield and tactical insertion. Obviously, you are just as ignorant as you say we are. If you had found out, They are no use against danger close noobtubes. Blast shield works only when they aren't using danger close. Tactical insertions make spawn kills more common, unfortunately, and if you hide it well, you won't die right away, but against tubes, you're still screwed.

I don't see how anything on this list makes noobtubes remotely hard to use. It's only harder to unlock, which is simply just how it should be. Don't talk about how you can't make them infinite either, because that's how they were cheap in MW2.
