Therefore, Noob-tubing is equivalent to trolling on the internet. Do it as much as possible. In World at War, the grenade launcher requires all other challenges for the relevant weapon to be completed, so they are even less common. Since Scavenger is not an availible perk in World at War, the tuber can only take 2 shots with the attatchment in any life, so it is not very much of a problem.
These changes to multiplayer made the community bitch forever, yet they still played the game and loved it. On Call of Duty: Black Ops, the damage from explosives, grenade launchers in particular, has been drastically reduced over a wide area, meaning only a direct hit is fatal, that is, if the victim does not have Flak Jacket. If they do, they have very little to worry about from tubers. Use of grenade launchers is now quite rare, and only those skilled in trajectorial shooting are often seen using them.
When Call of Duty was released in November of , the under slung grenade launcher attachment quickly took on the Noob Tube mantle and searches for the term exploded. However, "noob" weapons have been traced all the way back to Counter-Strike, with the Auto Shotgun being referred to as a "noob stick" Other games predating MW2 like Rainbow Six and SOCOM have had weapons referred to as "noob noun " While no exact date or game can lay claim to the title of origin of the phrase due to lack of data, Halo 2 is one of it's earliest instances, while Modern Warfare was responsible for making the phrase mainstream.
While a minor annoyance in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare [1] , its sequel Modern Warfare 2 bumped up the irritably factor of Noob Tubes in two ways [2] [3] , the first was a challenge that required the player to make 20 kills with the grenade launcher attachment in order to unlock the under slung shotgun, also known as a Master Key. The second way was the Scavenger Perk; the Scavenger Perk would allow players to pick up ammo from defeated enemies, which also allowed the Grenade Launcher to be restocked with ammo [4].
A player with Scavenger could get his entire kills using the Grenade Launcher without having to die and respawn to stock up on ammo; another perk, called One Man Army, allowed a player to switch between weapon classes at the expense of losing a secondary weapon. This allowed a player to continually select their "Noob Tube" and One Man Army class over and over which lead to infinite grenades without having to risk being shot while running to retrieve fallen enemies supplies [4].
Infinity Ward attempted to balance this by including a few counters: The first was the Blast Mask, which reduced the damage of explosions. Another counter was a minimum range requirement; this basically meant that the Grenade fired from the Grenade Launcher had to travel a certain distance before exploding, so that if a player was close to a noob tuber and the noob tuber fired his grenade at him, it would not explode; however, a direct hit from the grenade would still kill the player due to the force of the grenade shell [4].
A third counter was the Riot Shield. The riot shield would reduce damage from explosives and protect the player from bullets; this was balanced by the fact that the player using the riot shield would be limited to their secondary weapon or using the riot shield as a melee weapon. Supporters of the noob tubing, or "Tubers", claim it is a legitimate weapon, and point to its continued inclusion in video games as proof.
Another characteristic they point out about the grenade launcher is that it is much more effective than hand thrown grenades against campers. A Grenade Launcher shot will explode on contact and prevent the camper from having any time to react. A player can simply fire at their target, and if it hits nearby, then they get a kill without the precision needed from using bullets.
Enterprising trolls, known as griefers in the video game community, can generate lulz by using the noob tube. Credit to this goes to Stoffe for pointing it out to me. The UNSC Launcher does detonate on impact with the enemy, however the Grenades can be bounced off a surface to connect with their target. What makes it more difficult and thus a "Pro Pipe" is that there is no special cross-hair displayed for the grenade launcher; instead the player must depend on their own understanding of how a Grenade Launcher works as well as the kinetics of a grenade bouncing off a surface.
From the Halo: Reach Wiki [5] :. With the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops, one would expect a rise in searches for the term; however, against all expectations, it has fallen for multiple reasons.
One reason is because of the mechanics in Black Ops; for starters, Scavenger no longer resupplies the grenade launcher. Another perk, Flak Jacket provides the benefits of Blast Mask without the drawbacks. Third is competition, The Master Key makes a return as does an under-slung Flamethrower. Fourth is price, with the new currency system, every attachment has a price and the most expensive attachment is none other than the Grenade Launcher, at a cost of Call of Duty points.
On the Google Insight chart, the term starts rising at December of , which is a month after Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was released. View All Images. Show Comments. User Info: Blakkdeath.
