story time. you are playing mw2 using a ACR with red dot sight and stopping power invasion. You empty your ACR getting 4 kills and switch to your USP a keen eyed sniper gets you at 100m with a head-shot. you try to get the sniper and get killed by a random grenade due to the guy having(explosive perk). You spawn near the front lines and get killed again with out getting a kill by a RPG from the same guy. this happens 2/3 times due to the guy having scavenger-pro and (explosive perk) at this point you are pissed that your 4-0 has gone to a 4-6. you eventually escape the corner your team has got you trapped in and try to flank the guy only to be taken out by a thermal sniper*. game ends you have a 4-13 K/d. you are pissed you join another game to find the same thing happen again. repeat this for just one or two days of playing and you will hate the noobs to. /end hate rant thing
*my view on thermal snipers:
"CLICK THE WHITE BLOB ON THE BLACK SCREEN TO WIN!!!"
also
noobs=twats (see above)
newb=new player
a newb should become a skilled player over time, the ones who dont are branded noobs

Noobs are people who jump right into the Multiplayer and all I hear is: "What makes you melee?" "What makes you jump.?"
Then you start to get pissed and you cant boot the fucker then you notice he/she is 0/0/20.
Then if you are playing MW/MW2 you cant kick them b/c you are in the lobby and there is that ONE guy who is friends with the noob so you cant kick him in the game so you end up killing the fucker accidentally and he/she takes it personally, so i play Hardcore mostly on Games like Bad Company 2 and MW/MW2. Now Halo3 was a bit easier b/c most of the time the noob kills me...well guess what?! X to boot MF!
Noobs: 1. A newbie who cant play. 2. A annoying person who cant play 3. A person who thinks he knows all but is always wrong.
E.G.: A guy comes in to play Halo: Reach Beta with me and my friends (there are three of us) We were winning, Then this 'noob' shows up and starts to tell us: This is how we are goin to win this. - We lost b/c the idiot followed his plan, and we did our own thing. We lost by 3 b/c he kept running in alone and yelling at us for not joining him on his suicide mission....

It really just comes down to this mate: http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20060823.mpo48 said:
But I don't question that there are too many people out there who don't know the difference and treat both categories with equal disrespect.
Its all about how much effort a player is wanting to put into understanding the game's mechanics and its comunity.
In my terminology a noob/n00b is someone that refuses to put effort into understanding it. And not only the game itself, but also the social rules in such a game.
Pour example:
- Someone who doesn't master the general spoken language in such a game and refuses to keep foreign languages into private groups or parties. If you know that you can't read/speak english (or the game's language to keep it more general), you should realize that a game in that language with all terminology referring to it, will result in a shiny bunch of graphics, where fck all makes any sense. Abit like playing in a sandbox, where you deliberately create your own piece of sandbox inside it, only to be inhabited by you. Or putting up a tent in a random person's yard without asking and still act surprised if you are usually not-so-politely asked to take a hike.
I mean, you don't see me try and play a russian or korean game if i know i'll be a single player trying to multiplayer, while you eventually end up getting mutual hate from everyone arround you because you can't communicate properly.
- In you refuse to even slay 1 monster to see how the economy works and instead go pixelhumping everyone's leg that has more flashy pixels then you and spam every possible channel with "Gief gold plz!", "I ned monny! Oly 1000 gold plz!" or "Itamz?!?!?!?!?! NAOW!!!", while in the total ammount of hours you wasted by begging you could've found enough items and/or crafting materials to sell for a usually overpriced price, not to mention the complementary cash aforementioned baddies dropped themselves.
- As mentioned above by a previous poster when playing an FPS: Shoot/press all visible buttons first, ask questions never. Shooting on anything that moves, regardless of friendly fire or bunnyhopping circles arround a teammate's hiding place like an ADHD-kid finding someone during hide-and-go-seek which results in 2 splattered brains on the back wall or frustratingly worse: only yours, to find the n00b still prancing about like a gay guy who just recieved his My Little Pony Playhouse.
- Using profanity, CAPS, or as many exclamation points you can force into you chatbox to show you are truely worth having attention, let alone help.
- Asking "should-know" questions like "How do i move forward?" or "How do i attack stuff?" and such. Now this point is debateable as i've played games where even common sense failed to solve that issue, but the most basic of basics are usually explained in "THE Manual", which is either a booklet or pdf accompanied by your LEGAL bought game, or a page on the game's website in the case of F2P games.
If any of the above is applied towards a specific player he is considered a n00b, twat, idiot, retard or in some cases (when a game has been about for quite some time) a troll or a flamer trying to get the worst from those responding, in my book.
New people (or newbs/rookies) are ok, especially if they explain why they don't know the answer to their question and what they tried to find out. I usually end up giving those people a shitload of cash and/or items & some tips for easy leveling (if you hadn't guessed yet i'm kind of an mumorpeger).
And in most cases they end up being more badass then i'd ever want to be or would become, which gives a warm tingly feeling inside..... ok nevermind that *ahem*
Soooooo where were we? Ahh yes, i'm off to play Freelancer again, that way i avoid abovementioned n00bs, or the rare occasion to be called one myself *whistles*

I like noobs, they make me look like a decent player and they are funny. Noone hates noobs, because all of us have been noobs. It's just idiots that discriminate on players for being new at the game, don't worry about what they have to say, it really isn't importantmpo48 said:
You're thinking of "newbs", OP.
If you don't know what you're doing and act like an asshole about it, you're a noob. A newb simply doesn't know what he's doing, usually due to being new to it, and doesn't mind helpful advice.
Of course, that doesn't necessarily apply when you're just playing for the lulz or experimenting with new and unlikely combinations.

That's like arguing that it's more fun to watch 2 middle schoolers push each other around then an MMA match.Chris^^ said:
