I don't recall a grenade launcher in MW1.
Edit:my bad, it did have them.
Yeah, it was WaW. The noob tube was intended to be a way to balance the game out for new players since they were commonly thrown into lobbies with experienced players. (Sound familiar?) The problem was they made it stupidly OP. But it still worked because it still wasn't the only effective thing on the field, but overconfident pros would still get popped by it. It's been long since rebalanced in Black Ops, and viable for grenadier type loud outs for BLOPS2. Some people are even referring it to the pro pipe.
We're going to have to face that facts that there's always going to be a black cloud hanging over the MD. Players that think aiming with hit scan weapons in a video game are going to keep rehashing double standards like aiming in a FPS is such a great thing. It's a terror weapon and it's working as intended- driving the masses. Too bad those masses are driven to complain on the forums instead of realizing that hiding in that corner is going to save them from splash damage.

Being able to one shot someone is not what makes something a noob tube
I can one shot you with a head shot outside of 35m. |

Being able to one shot someone is not what makes something a noob tube I can one shot you with a head shot outside of 35m. Indeed, hell Ive hit people in the head from 400m away when they were just a little patch of gray slightly different from the terrain Everytime I counter snipe some dude hiding behind the redline and take away one of his thales an angel gets its wings
I'm talking about with the MD. I'm almost bold enough to say the over-nerf in 1.0 was a good thing, I was taking direct hits for granted. I'm starting to dig the breach MD. |

CoD MW2 had rifle attachment + Sidearm grenade launcher that with Danger Close Pro would 1 shot you, and half your team.
The perk was the OP part, not so much the launchers themselves. It's other element made Harriers and Pave Lows one shot you.
The term predates both those games, but those are the first two where I thought it was appropriate.
Flaylocks pre-1.3 fit the bill as well.
MD is actually pretty difficult to use on level terrain, so it really depends on how the guy is using it. Sometimes it is a noob tube, sometimes it isn't. Really depends on the player :P
I hate these punks running around at mid range spamming grenades and MD rounds trying to steamroll everything. That's what's really getting on everyone's nerves. All you really need to do is take them on outside of mid range and watch how much they miss. |
