HC Domination has become nothing but a NOOB Tube fest!

Decided to have a few games of HC DOM last nyt with a friend and it was just the 2 of us from our clan playing. First game started in terminal with us running straight to C from the top spawn and both of us throw down trophys and cover the esculators but we were greeted with an onslaught of tubes and they quickly exhausted our trophys and we died..
We tried to come back, putting trophys out before the flag as they continued to spam tubes constantly...they didnt go for C, they just sat and waited for us to try and cap...It didnt help that no other team mate would join us in trying to push them back as they were sitting in corners protecting their K/Ds!
Second game on hardhat was even worse... We got the easy A and B side but once again as soon as we set up to cap B a rain of tubes and rockets came flooding in! After that we couldnt get back near B...
I stood and watched at a safe distance and they were tubing one after another even when there was noone there lol! I mean, what skill is there in that?
I know im gona hear "well you should get better at the game" and all the usual hard man internet talk but im talking about the poor randoms that play DOM and dont have a team to back them...The only way you can beat this sort of gameplay is to go in a squad of 6 on a flag and have 6 trophys out!
Its an absolute joke and the cod community are turning into a bunch of ***** with their skilless tactics..Id love IW to ban Tubes and rockets from DOM and see how good they are then... Pathetic...
just the fact you talk about "skill" makes what you said pointless.
there is no skill in the game at all.
Its taken me a while to see it but your right...
I loved this game for a few months but now im starting to get fed up with it and the people that play it..
I play infected alot now just for the sheer fact that there are no friggin tubes with the exception of jugg v stricker..
role on Blops 2 cuz any change will be a goood thing....
It all depends on the map. I played solo yesterday on Dome and backpacked the hell out of my team for a victory, and I went like 60-20 doing it. On small maps, you just have to use tubes yourself, run around a lot, and try hard. On larger maps, it won't really help you.
Why are you playing hardcore if you're just going to complain about explosives? Naturally, with low health explosives are going to be more lethal. Either use them yourself, find ways to counter them, or don't play hardcore. It's as simple as that.
And I highly doubt your story is true. 2 trophies=4 explosive counters, and each person has 2 noobtubes max. So even if both of them used both of their tubes, they'd still need another explosive to hit you. And I highy doubt they'd have enough time to load a second tube in the time it takes two people to cap a flag. Plus, unless they're doing some insane shot, they should be somewhat close and able to be killed. Maybe you should learn to play dom and actually clear the area before sitting like a duck at a flag.
2 noob tubes max? Apparently the xm25 doesnt exist. Thats 4 tubes fired in succession without a reload, with scavenger im pretty sure you can have
16-20 tubes in the xm alone.
Hahah well first of all, the XM-25 isn't a noob tube. It may have a lot of ammo, but it has a LONG reload time. No way you're going to reload and get more shots off while 2 people are capping a flag.
The most logical flaw in your argument, however, is the XM-25 is a direct path explosive with a small explosive radius and large recoil (if used fully auto). So if you're firing at someone capping a flag, you're going to be exposed. So maybe if the op wasn't being bad at dom, he could just shoot the people using rockets and XM-25s. And like I said there are plenty of ways to counter people noobtubing over walls etc.
2 noob tubes max? What about the xm25?
Ffs dude can you read? The XM-25 isn't a noobtube...and I don't care how much ammo it has...it's a direct path explosive and the OP should stop being terrible at dom and actually shoot people around the flag.
GG arguing semantics. Based on these ridiculous responses, you don't count the SMAW or RPG's either because they are "launchers".
OP, just generalize more by saying "explosive spammers" instead of "tubers". If you play HC:DOM, you are well aware of this plague, and if you deny it, it is because you are the one doing it.
I used to play HC DOM but I got so annoyed with the noobs so I converted to core and the problem was pretty much resolved.

Heh. I only play HC during clan commitments but I do kinda expect to play against teams whose setup includes: one frag, two flash, RPGs and noob tube attachment to their assault rifles. Usually on Dome.
If only Blast Shield Pro was like Flak Jacket Pro in Blops...
Agreed freefire launchers and tubes ruin HC Dom I've said befor i'd love to a see playlist with these removeed to see how it worked. I know they recently made changes to blast shield but with the amount of rockets and tubes it dosen't make a difference.
Side note: Is that a new account?
The XM25 needs a buff.
LMG magazine size, PP90M1 fire rate, ultra fast reload, Dead Man's Hand explosive power pre patch and MP7 levels of recoil. And the ability to scavenge more tubes.
Funny thing it's made to sound like the whole game mode is ruined, whining and complaining, and yet he only played two games..
I like to call Hard Core, Easy Core because most that play either toob, launch or equip impact w/extra mags and spray. And when vest are worn your health is double that of core and you are virtually a juggernaut. I only play Easy Core during clan ops.
Hmmm,dont play it? try somthing new domination on core is also fun![]()
The obvious solution to this problem is just to buff Blast Shield to 91%+ explosive reduction for HC game modes as it was in Black Ops. For some ridiculous reason, IW refuses to do so.
OP, you and your friend both have to run trophy systems and vests, and throw on a vest before trying to cap the flag. Vests provide more explosive protection than Blast Shield and will let the two of you survive one more tube after your trophies go down - enough time to cap the flag before dying. It gets old having to play this way because of flawed balance.
