people that hated the tube are using them now cause they found out that you don't need any skill to use it. it is getting more and more popular on the ftag servers.
i hate tubes cause they do kill the fun in game and they often make me leave the servers.
i would also vote to remove them or at least lower their damage, but i know that this will never happen.
so i go on leaving the server when to many funkillers are on.
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!
