Have you ever used a "N00b" tactic

[Spacelord]

Back when I was a noob myself, yes.

Also whenever I want to win.

[small]spoiler: I'm still a noob[/small]

 

[Dfskelleton]

Yeah, such as:
Shooting other people in FPSes online
Not shooting people in FPSes online
Moving in FPSes online to avoid being shot
Not moving in FPSes online to avoid being shot
Using vehicles in FPSes online
Existing in FPSes online
Having a slightly higher rank than someone in FPSes online
Having a lower rank than someone in FPSes online
Winning in FPSes online
Losing in FPSes online
Using a headset in FPSes online
Using a headset to blare Caramelldansen in FPSes online

Telling someone to stop being childish for calling me a noob in FPSes online
Having grey armor in FPSes online
Picking up weapons in FPSes online
Not playing FPSes online
Playing FPSes online
Having a higher gamerscore than someone in FPSes online
Having a gamer picture not from the online FPS I'm playing
Not letting people have free kills online
Driving my vehicle full of idiots from my team of a cliff in an online FPS

referring to other FPSes in online FPSes
My name in online FPSes
Joining a game in online FPSes


I think you see why I hardly play online FPSes anymore.

 

[Adzma]

I used to use the Plasma Pistol/Battle Rifle combination all the time in Halo 2. Got called a n00b constantly. T'was fun.

 

[Mr.Numbers]

COD 6: Riot Shield+Throwing Knives with a machine pistol sidearm.

That's apparently a Noob tactic. I call it a guarenteed 5 kill streak

 

[Professor James]

I have used the AWP in Counterstrike when I get fed up of the other team spamming it.

I think the AWP is a little bit too nerfed nowadays.

 

[theonlyblaze2]

I exhisted withing the confines of a FPS multiplayer match. I was both a n00b and a modder and didn't get a single kill.

 

[Admiral Stukov]

There are no noob-tactics. That's just the oppinion of stupid people trying to justify why they lost.

Take SC2, Cannon rushing? If you don't scout you have only yourself to blame.
Wall of Mutalisks? You left your opponent alone for too long, your own fault.
etc...

 

[StriderShinryu]

Sure have. I don't do it often because it's, quite frankly, beyond boring but I have sat full screen throwing fireballs in numerous fighting games. Of course, if you actually lose to that sort of play then what you really need to be asking yourself is who the real n00b is.

 

[purf]

I've been called a noob for helping out my teammates in L4D

Oh, yes! There was a thread recently about being called hacker or noob. And I couldn't come up with an incident where I was called the latter. But, yeah, this ^ WTF is wrong with people...
OT: there is a certain spot in a certain CoDblops map which has to be the best campground in the whole freaking game. I discovered it by wondering how that one guy was able to rack up this impressive amount of kills while retaining an equally impressive k/d ratio so I watched the game afterwards... Now I make use of it every now and then

 

[Sovereignty]

Yeah I noob-tubed whenever I saw a large amount of people using it in MW1 and 2.

I don't care if they call me newb. If it works, it works. So long as you don't bug exploit or the like who cares?

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

N00b for using hammerburst in Gears 2 online, when the guy was trying to rush me with the shotgun. No way in hell I was letting that guy near me.

 

[MrGalactus]

I've camped when I had very low ammo on Search & Dearch before. Oh, and I've used the grenade launcher before. That's basically it.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Yeah, I used to noob-tube quite a bit.

 

[Vryyk]

Black Ops was my first Call of Duty game, so I used the noob-tube like no tomorrow to compensate for my lack of skill. But it was fun.

 

[LAN MAC]

I was once called a n00b for betrayal booting a guy who immediately picked up the sniper rifle and team-killed me in Halo.

 

[Frozengale]

In League of Legends I have been called a noob for:

-Ambushing and turning a 2v2 into a 3v2
-Playing a character by stacking Health
-Playing the same character and stacking Attack Speed
-Playing the same character again and using an all around build
-Using a character that has been termed "Flavor of the Month" even though I've been using the character since it came out
-Using a character that others rarely use (and winning)
-For helping out my team
-For not helping out my team
-For not wanting the physical carry to have the caster buff


Basically in LoL or any other DoTA clone you will be called a Noob for anything.

 

[Varanfan9]

If I end up dying a lot on TF2 despite generally good tactics I tend to rage heavy. Though this usually stops cause I'm not the best heavy player.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

"n00b tactics" are really just someone else justifying their own death. I ignore being called on such bullshit.

If I end up dying a lot on TF2 despite generally good tactics I tend to rage heavy. Though this usually stops cause I'm not the best heavy player.

Who doesn't like to rage as Heavy from time to time?

 

[thethain]

I am very much of the school of gentleman's gaming. Stuff like the grenade launcher in MW2 has no business when you are playing with friends locally. Same for the old AWP in CS one shot kills to the foot are just silly. Same goes for just straight up camping in an objective match (when not camping THE objective).

To me flat out killing the people doing such (in usually the most humorous ways possible) is much more fun than trying to emulate them for such actions.

 

[caselj01]

I button-mash every fighting game I play.
