i was playing mw2 and the entire enemy team was knifing so i decided to switch to a shotgun class and upon my first kill with it i was declared a noob to which i replied "if you want me to stop using a shotgun then stop knifing" and they said that was such a noob thing to say. so yeah got called a noob for using a counter tactic. also in starcraft 2 is there any way to counter a battlecruiser rush like 10 minutes into the game because im usually building up a good force when 15 battlecruisers appear in my field of vision and whatever i thow at them gets yamato'ed into non-existence. i usually just say gg as soon as i've seen em because there is no match after that. Im not calling it a noob tactic im just wondering if there's a simpler way to do it other than turret and void ray spamming.
Have you ever used a "N00b" tactic

When the enemy team is being a douch in Reach, I will sometimes pick up the needler.... I just died a little inside.
well, I usually use the grenade launchers in MW2, but I don't use them for cheap kills, you know, shooting them to explode wherever it goes, I just use them for direct impacts =P
that and using the tactic of sniping that gets me the title of "camper"
(you know that sniping is staying in one place *that you decide before you play the map* and using only the sniper+scope right? while camping is just being a cheap bastard who hides and tramps people with powerful weapons, like, corner-camping people with the chainsaw ready in Gears of War)

In World of Tanks.
Been called a noob for advancing alongside 2 Heavy Tanks and another medium, over the left side of a Map.
We´ve been called "noob rushers" (even tho our advance was slowly and carefull) and been said "we´d die for sure".
We killed over half of the enemies tanks, all their Artillery and pretty much won the round single handedly, because the other sides advance (much bigger and faced less enemies no less) probably got the luck of being Artillery target practice, even tho we (and me personally) took some shelling too.
Oh, and I survived with 20 hp left, a shot track, damaged optics and gun...got massive XP but also had to pay alot for repairs.

You'd be running from the top of the hill on the Blu side of the basin all the way to past around the corner at C. Even then you might still be in the line of fire for my sentry, assuming you made it through the basin itself without being accosted by Medics, Heavies, Pyros, Soldiers or other scouts already there.bpm195 said:
I sometimes use a backburning pyro in TF2.
I am sometimes called a noob for doing so, even though I will be at the top of the ladder and constantly switching characters. The backburner is an excellent way to ambush people and you can use it to wipe out a chain of enemies from behind.

I had this one incident when playing Heroes of Newerth that seems particularly fitting...Havn't played that game in a while though.
I joined one of the random games there, and tried to talk to my four partners about which characters we would be choosing. They proceeded to completly ignore me so I just chose my favorite (and best) character: that little squirrel guy in the mech who's name I can't remember. They all chose carries.
For those who don't know, all carries is pretty much the worst possible team combination I can think of. Just terrible. I made sure to tell them so and they just told me to shut up.
Anyways the game started, I got my starting items, and I went to the right rune spawn thing, as per standard procedure. None of my allies did the same and I ended up getting killed in a 3vs1 fight where my supposed partners didn't do anything to help.
At that point everyone on my team starting calling me a noob and saying that I was going to make their team lose (despite having only died once) one guy even said that he would try to kick me if I died again.
I just flat out said that they were all terrible players, and that my death was their fault. Everyone knows to grab the little rune powerups at the start and I told them all that beforehand and that they should have gone to them with me, the reason I died was their own stupidity. I then told them that if I had made a mistake there I would be fine with owning up to it, but I didn't make a mistake, they did. I said they were all terrible players who chose a terrible hero combination and then just said that they were all going to get a terrible score. I pretty much said that if they wanted to criticise me they needed some actual skill to back it up and that they did not have the right to insult my playing when their own was so bad.
Then I predicted that me with my damage nuke squishy class would carry the game for our entire team at the end, and that I would do better than all of them, probably even all of them combined.
The whole tirade shut them up pretty quickly.
In the end I had like 32 of the 48 or so kills on my team and we won.
Those guys were so infuriating.
This post has gotten way bigger than I thought it would be. :/

When I get matched up against a fellow Zerg player in Starcraft II I always six pool because I'm afraid that they're going to six pool too.
i was playing blood gulch in halo ctf mode. i driving the warthog driving the warthog directly into the base door/opening, but i would jump out just before i hit the entrance. To add more chaos to injury i would have a partner crash the banshee into the top opening of the opponent while i bombard the base with rocket launcher and grenades. i would proceed with getting into the base while my partner has the flag and backing the hell out of dodge. It's noobish but it a combination of multiple noob tactics and that's what makes it brilliant. It usually only works once or twice.
I used grenade launchers in CoD, mostly to do the challenges. I've sniped in CoD (much better at it in Black Ops). I also shotgun the hell out of Black Ops, if anyone thinks that's cheap. I believe camping to be a perfectly viable tactic, yet I don't do it a whole lot outside of sniping. When fighting against campers, grenades and my shotgun/sniper rifle are my friends. I also think sniping and shotgunning are perfectly viable tactics and think of grenade launchers as minor to moderate annoyances at worst.
I've used Witchblading in MW2. It's not as overpowered as it's made out to be. If you see a guy running for you, then just shoot him.
I see nothing wrong with projectile spam in fighting games, yet I don't do it a lot for some reason. It probably would have saved me a few losses.
