I keep hearing about the n00btube, referring to the grenade launcher, and how it was significantly nerfed in a patch. How much better was it pre-patch than now? I still find it extremely useful now, so I was wondering how effective it used to be.
It had a much larger explosive radius and no minimum distance. This led to many people running into someone and shooting it at their feet, killing both people.
And damn, was it nice.

If only they would have left the 203 alone....sigh...
The blast radius on the launcher is extremely unrealistic now. I shoot RIGHT NEXT to soemone and they dont take damage.
...wait, did you think BF2 was realistic with respect to anything? I've never seen someone run into a .50 cal round and keep going. Ever.~[_-=*Hanma*=-_]~ wrote:

At any rate, the radius does kinda suck. I got one right next a guy manning a stationary machine gun at the market and the only reason I killed him was because an explosive barrel was next to him. Meh. Still a decent weapon though.CommieChipmunk wrote:

If I lob one at a guy 100m+ away, I need a little leeway.
this is true...CommieChipmunk wrote:

I hardly use it, but when I do use it, it makes my happy in my pants.
Very little is vanilla BF2 is realistic iun any aspect. If you want anything resembling realism, play PRmod.~[_-=*Hanma*=-_]~ wrote:

how many people have you seen hit with a .50 BMG round?CommieChipmunk wrote:

How many people have you seen fall to the ground from 2000ft up only to be revived by one paddleshock?Parker wrote:

i've seen people hit in the head by a .50 caliber sniper rifle at point blank range 5 times, blown up by a grenade 5 times, and then had 5 magazines of M16 bursts put into their head and body, and yet the shock paddles still work. It would appear that soldiers in bf2 can survive even with 1/20 of their body mass still intact
Its a actually two shock paddles who are simultaniously reviving him..robzored. wrote:

Well on SF the other day, Right into a round on warlord, as SAS (parachuted down onto roof), got 12 kills right off the bat. 11 with GL and one with F2000 gun
and then taking a 2nd .50cal round and then "comes back to life" because a medic with shock pedals "revived" him.CommieChipmunk wrote:

Here's my noobtube video....... stream: http://media.putfile.com/GoD-plaid-reti … ag-vid-BF2

You'll see some of my tube shots are dead on but don't kill a few times throughout the vid. I also make some very sweet long distance shots, over all I love the kit how it is.

Amen to that, you almost have to hit them right in the chest with it anymore to do any sort of significant damage.~[_-=*Hanma*=-_]~ wrote:

Nice vid. Overall I like the kit, very useful on SF maps (I use it a lot on GT and WrLrd), but it's very frustrating when the launcher lobs a 'nade right on top of them and they inexplicably survive.plaid_retina wrote:

In Project Reality GL have a bigger blast radius, probably something like vBF2 hand granades. I was in "granadier" squads few times where you go with 5 granadiers and a rifleman (for ammo). You get on some high ground and the commander gives you orders where to hit. Quite fun I must say...
I always use the anti-tank kit to noobtube
They have no rights to change the game like that !
If only i knew they are going to nerf GL and remove C4 throw and Jump i would never buy the this game !
I want my 120 $ back !

its $50 for BF2. Also you can play with the unnerfed version. Last time I checked there were still a few 1.03 servers around, and even without, no one forces you to patchDimaxx099 wrote:

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
it's still good if you know how to aim and don't need the 10m blast radius to kill people
and i honestly like the minimum arming distance b/c then you don't kill yourself when you fire at your feet
