Tanks: Love 'Em or Hate 'Em?

So what is your take on tanks? Do you love them and hate to play maps without them? Or do you hate them and love to play the maps without them? For me, I personally hate them. I depsise them. I loathe them. Tanks and "Juggernoob" are the 2 things that cause the MP part of CoD:WaW to suffer, in my opinion. But as they say, opinions are like a$$holes, everyones got one and both can be sh!tty. So what's yours?

    Re: Tanks: Love 'Em or Hate 'Em?
    Didn't use them in hardcore and still don't touch them in core.  Sniping is the way to go unless I'm ripping up a headquarters or domination.   Tanks get kills, but it seems to me to be very boring just riding around the whole time.

    Re: Tanks: Love 'Em or Hate 'Em?
    Personally I liked them.  I could use them or kill them so I did no complaining about them.  The maps that have had the tanks removed are camp fests now where the score is lucky to get over 300, that is if it's not skipped.

    Hmmm, you must be a tank and juggernoob user and you're calling me the noob. Thats friggin hilarious. The only reason people use tanks is because they're scared to actually fight and play the game so they run to the tank. Pretty much the same thing with juggernoob, scared to get killed. There's a word for these players, its also a term for a part of the female anatomy; which ironically these players have probably never seen.


    only people that hate them are rank 10 gun using noob cakes who could not figure out a bazooka from a satchel charge.

    "What is this strange concept, anti-tank, but i would lost my juggernaut slot, nooooooo!!!"

    I would surgest using a rifle to you but you might shoot your own foot off

No Fun !

    If I may elaborate even more
    Then wait for the other tanks to come to your side of the map then double team them one at a time then move to the other side of the map. Then well you know.

    So if a person used tanks...that means we can't shoot a gun or fight? How about you test out something other than SMG's, oh wait, can't spray & pray with semi-automatics or single shots can you.  Mp40 with over 11,800 kills and your calling someone else a NOOB....thats hilarious.  .64 win ratio is even better, that says it all.

    Love Tanks. They can control a full match, and most people do not have an Anti-Tank class to stop them.
    But, I hate when the enemy gets control of all tanks because of unintelligent team mates, and no one but me are working to take them out. Seems to happen a lot when I am not playing with my clan. I guess its not really the tanks I hate its the people that are afraid to take them out, seems all most people can do is throw a frag and a flare at them.

    I think tanks are amzing since it causes you and your team to start working together as a true  team to take down an obstacle such as a tank.

    Re: Tanks: Love 'Em or Hate 'Em?
    I don't realy care.  I always have a class with satchels just in case.  The only thing i hate is when you are on a map like downfall.  The oppossing team gets all 4 tanks, and instead of hunting the tanks down, your team hides and your the only one trying to take them out. If im the only one going after the tanks, i will die probably up to 4 times b/c of the tank and enemy fire while exposed.  TEAM WORK PLEASE!!! If i get help i will stop any onslaught of tanks. One well placed sacthel will do the trick, so i can take out two tanks in one life.

    P.S. if u hate tanks, play hardcore

    It definitely sucks trying to take on tanks all by yourself, I've experience that before. I also think tanks add a fun dimension to the game. They are fun to kill and to use.

    Re: Tanks: Love 'Em or Hate 'Em?
    I love them.

    I play all levels equally. I never vote to skip a map unless I JUST played it, or it is from the map pack I refuse to buy.

    I am very good using them and quite good destroying them.

    I typically use an app sighted rifle with stopping power, satchels, smoke, a sticky and extreme conditioning on tank levels.

    Recently I started using a rifle or MG, satchels, flak jacket and recon from time to time. This is especially useful when the enemy has multiple tanks on a large map like Seelow. You can take a direct hit from the main gun without dying and easily have the firepower to destroy one undamaged enemy tank.

    i really dont know.
    when im in a tank, why cant the people just let me kill them and not try and destroy me.?
    why cant they let me get my 10 killstreak andhave fun with it.?
    and when others are in tanks, why cant they just stand their in the gunner or main tank and let me destroy them. i really dont understand this.

    Re: Tanks: Love 'Em or Hate 'Em?
    I don't love them and I don't hate them. I just STAY AWAY from them. I think they are a pointless addition to the game, in my own opinion, but people love using them, so kudos to them. If they want to be little p***ies, and use them, then fine. It doesn't mess up up my score, which is all I care about. If I see a tank, I run in the opposite direction, or crouch/go prone, behind something and the tank usually just rolls right by. In my opinion, the tanks are just big, slow, moving targets. Using a tank in my opinion, is just like saying, "hey enemy guys, shoot and kill me! Hey, I'm over here!"

    No thanks!

    andrewman18, The Game called.  He wants his rhymes back.  As for tanks, though, you're right.  Whether you love them or hate them, they're on top (for four levels in core when they don't get skipped).  I love and use them on a regular for various reasons.  First, it keeps the enemy from grabbing them.  That should be enough to make you want to hop in.  Second, I believe it gives you a wider field of viewing from higher up.  Third, it takes me back to my days of playing Twisted Metal II and Twisted Metal Black.  Something about driving around and shooting at things comes naturally at this point.  But for those of you who do despise them, I don't blame you.  Just make sure you're team has control of them if you want to secure a victory.

    Let's see, the reason most of the people hate the MP40 is because they get owned by it or for whatever reason don't know how to use it effectively. Yeah, right now I have close to 12,000 kills with it, and? What's your point? And as far as my win/loss ratio, I could care less. I play for kills. The majority of my losses come from me leaving a game before its over or joining a game thats already in progress on the team thats losing 240/0 (I play HQ). And as far as having an anti-tank class, I have 2 of them. And like other posters in this thread, I'm usually the only one trying to take them out. And as I have said in another post in this topic, keep posts related to the topic. A simple "yes I like tanks" or "no I hate tanks" will suffice. Don't discredit my skills or someone else's because they're opinion differs from yours. That just makes you look like the noob.




    In it for the kills huh??  1.28 KD looks very impressive....guess you worked really hard to get that.
    As per keeping on topic as you say...this one has been beat to death...AS ALREADY MENTIONED IN THIS THREAD.
    Your online game is fail, and your attempt to act like your not a NOOB has failed.  I don't have to discredit your skills playa, your battle career does that for you. Just for you though....I loved the TANKS!!!  Enjoyed owning little boys such as yourself while they were in hardcore.

    Re: Tanks: Love 'Em or Hate 'Em?
    I hate 'em because they're hard to take down and it's way to easy to get kills in them. That's why I play HC TDM if I even play TDM.

    I didn't mind them.  I used them alot when I first started playing. Now I like to trap them with satchels since its not that hard to figure out where a tank will travel. ie seelow under/over rail bridge. Oh and instead of whining about this being a repeat topic,*cough*DaHawk*cough* dont post and do everybody a favor since no one really cares about your opinion anyway.  Except your clone followers.
