Thoughts on "noob tubes" in BFBC2

[BrianHanna]

not to nit pick, but another gun that really pisses me off is the m60, since i play as an assault alot, it is really annoying to get destroyed by a medic so easily.

I remember killing a medic from behind and stealing his m60, it was the easiest 8 kill streak i have ever gotten, and i didn't need to reload once.

with medics rolling around with the m60 it pretty much makes assault useless sans the ammo box, since that is a disgustingly overpowered gun.

I agree, m60 with the optical scope, firing single shot I frequently take out snipers. Very powerfull weapon, and with the ability to patch yourself up, it takes the cake.

odis172 hit me up for some action, clan plays every night

It's fairly balanced and cannot be spammed without the help of assault classes. You can equally say the RPG7 and AT4 are overpowered as well..since they can one shot kill just as well, and AT4 is user-guided

I disagree with the "cannot be spammed". You have an unlock as engineer that you can have like 8 of those on you at one time :P

It does in fact damage you, IF it explodes. It doesnt damage you if you hit them dead on, because it doesn't explode you're just firing a huge 40mm round into them.

Only MORONS call them noob tubes. If you cannot counter them then that is your fault and none of theirs. There is ALWAYS a way to counter that sort of thing no matter what game it is.

Medic and their m60 piss me off much more than the 40mm. It's just too accurate and there isn't a need to reload. I got kill much more by the m60 than 40mm.

That is true also... I picked up a M60 on the ground that had a scope on it and it was hilarious. You can decimate a whole squad in a few clicks without that much skills.
I hope they balance that, because it's really annoying.

100% agree

Just find a good server with people that play respectfully. I have been playing on LLC's server for the last 3-4 years, starting with CS Source, then COD4, and now BC2, and the players there have always been great. Fun, smart players, who dont whine and complain all the time.

lol,

IMO TF2 has the most overpowered weapon. That demo sword is simply OP... stopped playing just because the updates were ruining the game more and more. Maybe I'll play it when it gets more balanced.

But back on topic,
I think the 40mm should take as long to reload as a RPG.
