Being able to one shot someone is not what makes something a noob tube "Can spam shots and get a kill" That holds true for every weapon as long as nobody is shooting back. OTH you will lose in a 1v1 if you are spamming your shots as your enemy will have plenty of time to take you out. See the "dont need to be accurate" before that It means that those two things hand in hand are what make something a noob tube Can you kill someone with an AR or SMG spraying wildly in the general direction sure but its going to take a lot longer than not even attempting to aim at them and just shooting the ground with grenades Oh, you do need to be accurate. You may be thinking about CQC where being accurate is easy, but that's simply because you walked into its main strength. Do the same with a shotgun scout and you will die as well. Keep your range with your AR and I have to place my shots precisely if I hope to catch you in the splash radius. The mistake AR users make is treating every opponent the same. You simply can't dance the same dance you do with another AR user. The MD user will step all over your feet if you try. Pick a different dance and you can win.
yup, and just don't be a heavy if an MD is on the field, because you WILL lose every single time. as they can just back out of your effective range and still be well within theirs. You close the gap through complex strategy and perfect timing(okay, you sat behind a stack of crates and they wandered by) too bad, you're so fat they'll get the direct hit they need to drill through your shields, and then eat your armor tanked ass for breakfast before you can get the 100-ish shots you need to get through their shields(it's really closer to 20-30 hits, but the hit detection, and having to aim for the chevron due to muzzle flash is a ***** to work with. I'm honestly surprised when it's less than 200 bullets before someone dies.) |

But if we agree there are no noob tubes in Dust, can we agree to stop using it to refer to one another's weapons? Because it's frankly quite insulting to say that no matter how good they are and how much practice someone has put into one of these weapons, it can be completely discredited because 'it's a noob tube'.
Are you hopping around like a bunny rabbit on crack firing at your own feet to win every fight? NOOB TUBE.
Are you nailing someone dead in the chest with a breach from 50+ meters out? Not noob tube.
I use an HMG when out of my tank. It is the epitome of the spray and pray weapon style. guess what? I like those kinds of guns. because I'm not the best shot, but I can suppress your ass and keep you in cover while my friend comes over to shiv you with his novas. if you do decide to peek out of cover, then congratulations, here's your Darwin award. It's made of 2000 RPM hot lead death. |

Sorry, no offense, but you seem like someone who hasn't really used the MD much if at all. Yes, CQC is pretty mindless, other than avoiding killing yourself (hence the bunny hopping). But what weapon isn't easier in CQC? Also, no one lands 50 meter shots directly in the chest. Maybe as a random skill shot that you're proud of, but seriously, no one is that good with the MD (I've been using it for 6 months).
When did I say I did those shots? When I was using them, it was back in chromosome, I was using it for it's intended purpose, area denial. anyone tried to go through the area I was guarding, they had shells raining on them from the rooftops. Specifically, assault mass driver shells, that didn't do much for damage, but hit people often enough to convince them to leave the area.
I have friends who've been using them since closed, almost a full year now. Don't worry, you'll get better with it in time.
again, it's not my kind of gun. I prefer something that lets me stay away from the fight and get a precision shot to weaken/kill an enemy, or a bullet hose. MOAR DAKKA! |
