Everybody has their own style of playing. I take the game very seriously and compete fiercely when playing but many people simply play for laughs and to have fun and clearly couldn't care less where they place at game's end. The last clan that I was in ran a pretty strict DM run & gun server that didn't allow camping or rifle nades. This gave me a bias coming into XI and it has made it hard for me to open my mind up to playing styles other than balls-out competition. A rifle nader here & there doesn't bother me. A bunch do. Its no big deal to sit out a map that I don't like and likewise it's no big deal to drop out until the map population is more to my liking. God knows we have a BUNCH of other servers to play on in the interim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

A clay or satchel can be easily countered with bomb squad, if one chooses. The tube is over powered: just lob it in someone's general direction & get an immediate kill. Use overkill & get 4 or 6 or whaterver of 'em... & when you run out, just nade yourself & get a refill. It's out of balance with the rest of the game. You guys are always trying different things, so try a server without tubes or with them toned down, & let people have a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

(ok, maybe with a sniper rifle when two people are standing behind each other.. but seriously, how often does that happen?) or look at clays: you can't aim with a clay and be sure that you hit someone with it. you can only put it somewhere and pray that anybody goes that way and get hit by it. you also are able to use a special perk where you can make the clays visible for you. or a nade: if you wanna kill somebody who is up in a window, then you have to aim pretty good and count, cause if you don't hit the window or throw the nade to early (or to late), you wont hit shit (or yourself). if you use a tube, you only need to aim near the window and you kill the guy.

As others have stated, you start changing this cause people are whinning then you are going to have to change that cause people are whinning. I say, if ya change/remove the tubes then i want nades removed too... you can throw those things 300 yard from spawn and kill multiple people lobbing them over buildings not even knowing if anyones there or not. Or i want all bitchers and complainers insta banned. People bitching about the way i play a GAME really bothers me and i am sick of hearing about it, it ruins my day so why should i have to deal with it, get rid of them/ And while we are at it... i HATE getting killed by Snipers camping half way across the map. Either dum,b it down so snipers need 3 hits to kill or get rid of them entirely. I can parade umpteen people through these forums to complain about one thing or another. Just play the fucking game and buy a new supply of tissues people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Paperman- Paperman I can't remember when I ever saw you on COD4 or MW2 freeze. When is the last time you played these servers. Thanks for the post anyways. Having someone shoot a tube in a blind spot that completely misses you and you get killed sucks. What's the fun in that? Greywolf- Greywolf you are an awesome player, I hope to be as good as you and not have as many tube kills. I would guess it's about each persons game style. There are many ways to add points to your game. (run&gun, snipe, sit back and drfrost, TUBE, etc.) I'm more of a team player and it's about the Win. Of coarse if I loose, it's about having fun and I'm glad that I played. I would rather win though. Rugger- I have been playing with XI for almost 6 years now. I'm not new to this game and I play quite a bit. The TUBE is making this NOT FUN for me. It's a no talent weapon. I have seen and heard our guests complain and leave our servers. I say tone it down or get rid of it. If Admin step up and make a decision on this I will stick by you all the way. XI FOREVER!! YellowSnow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, I'm gonna clarify one thing. I'm 100% ok with tubes or tubers.... That is because if they use the tube, they sacrifice a perk. they use quad tubes, they sacrifice another perk. So it is basically a trade off. Its fair. Take for example, On the ftag 1 and 2, it is relatively easy to overcome tubes. Basic reason is that all weapons have been tweaked to perfection. Credit goes to the dev team and the players that contributed their feedback based on their experience over time. Such that over time tweaks and changes are made to achieve this level of balancing. However, on MW2 it is a whole different story. Half or maybe even more than half are using tubes. It does go into a vicious cycle of tube haters becoming tubers too. So much so that its kind of a rarity to see people actually shooting. I feel that for the benefit of the shooters in mw2, IF some tweaks should be done. Please do so. Plenty of feedback has been given so please respond by making appropriate adjustments. Like Zoe said, if nothings done, people do leave the servers. I left too... And did notice others leaving while I was there due to this issue. Or instead of leaving, people do not join. It is the same with map rotations of which feedback is generally not highly regarded enough to warrant positive changes. A simple look at the stats of the popularity of each server would reveal this. Game tracker, Stats, Server chat logs, Timing(when a full server become empty when certain maps are on) etc... And of course there are the irritating whiners. However, there are some that really do love the servers and enjoy the company of other regulars that they play with, that do give their feedback. And yet, some are labelled whiners. Its really quite different. It does have a negative effect of regulars not wanting to contribute their contructive feedbacks in future. BTW, Pinglo is a legend. He smashed a tube smack right into my face in excess of 250yrds. Sincerely, Sexy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
