I don't call killing a sniper with the GL at 50-100m skilless.

Using the grenade launcher only slows a lack of general skill. End of. If you can only use one weapon you aren't skilled.

Also using the nade launcher at that range took me about 3 days to grasp when I first got the game, its not hard.

Awp is the easiest gun to kill with in the whole game, try using the scout rather than being a noob. Every time I say this on CS someone disputes it so I get the awp out and proceed to kick ass, im not even good at CS, proving my point.

I don't think you can define a n00b by what weapon they use, but rather with their skill with the weapon.
I love the GP30 and M203 cos it's practically insta-death, but I don't run around the level just using that, I switch to AK101/M16 for CQB cos it makes more sense that way.
You can't ever call someone a n00b for taking the easy method of getting kills, otherwise anyone who plane whores is a n00b, which just isn't true.
Oh, and that would make you a n00b for playing assault most because it's got your best KDR, which I'm sure we both know isn't true.
Or is it?

GL > 10 medpacks
In other words , I find more skillfull to pwn with assault kit without an ability of insta hill yourself after every enemy hit .

In BHD the GL and RPG were proper noob tubes with huge splash damage.

I dont call people noobs for getting easy kills.

I call people noobs for not being able to use anything other than one weapon. It really isn't that hard to understand.

I havent played assault in nearly a year. Also, sniper is my highest KDR kit.

Its expansion pack took it one better with the introduction of the noobstick, AKA: The GewherGranate!

I loved using that gun!!!! Not for the grenades, but just because when I rifled someone it says "Shot" instead of, well rifled... (I was amazing with the rifles in my day)

Oh, and my $0.02,

The term "noobtube" as it is known in BF2 originated in the early days of the game (probably before most of you started). The Grenade launcher attached to the Assault guns were used in close quarter combat. Upon meeting a player up to and including Zero meters away from you (IE, touching you), the Assault player would look straight down, jump and fire. The blast would kill the enemy and hardly damage the Assault player. Thus the term, NoobTube was born. (Because if you needed to grenade a guy less than 5 meters away from you, you were pretty bad)

Today this has been patched out. You can no longer jump and fire, as well as the minimum travel distance/bounce feature was added to the grenade.

You've obviously never played cal. I don't call noscoping 'the easiest gun' or hitting people in the head in mid-air something any beginner can do. How about you go get actual experience in the game before spewing crap.

Oh wait, you forgot to mention that nubtubers do it at distances no greater than point-blank range.

I love seeing someone fire a nice long range 203 shot, I hate spraying into someone's face and having them 203 the nearest wall and killing us both. That's the difference for me anyways.

I love it when some idiot with an accurate gun like a G36 or M4A1 can't kill me, I slam high explosives into their face from +50m away, and they go "zomg noob".

Even better if they have a medic reviving them every time they die.

It becomes a noob-tube when the enemy is hopping around like a spastic Kangaroo, firing at his/your feet. Of course, I'd have to agree that doing this with grenades is worse.

A Noob Tube is a 203 or other nade launcher. The name came about from cry babies who didn't like the helpless feeling of watching a 203 coming at them. In BHD, the 203 was brutal, it didn't have to be nearly as close as it does in BF2.

Using a nade launcher at range shows alot of skill friend. Especially in BF2 with the splash damage so light.

And especially with the retarded trajectory... I swear I'm shooting bowling balls with the extreme parabola of the GLs in this game. Project Reality's grenade launchers are more realistic and much easier to use.

The noob tube is the grenade launcher attachment. Anyone who says its anything else hasn't been playing BF2 since before 1.2.
