why does everyone hate noobs?

[Chris^^]

I don't.. in fact I more depise everyone who has been playing their chosen game for ages and is able to manipulate all the bullshitty glitches to their advantage. Noobs make games fun, whilst oldfags ruin it for everyone

yeah the proplem is that they think your cheating when you shoot im in the back whilest theyr standing in the quartyard and you in a tower somewhat away while he was typeing/talking while not being aple to move for his whining

I have absolutely no idea what you said there.

 

[LiftYourSkinnyFists]

Newbs arn't noobs learn the difference.


Newb = New player with little knowledge of the game

Noob = person who can't play for poop makes the game less enjoyable for others and or otherwise just playing to lose or for annoyance.

 

[Mawmon]

Because fuck them, that's why.
Why should I tolerate something idotic like a moronic 'tween screaming abuse into a headset mic after a legitimate kill or spamming a chat channel with abuse and accusations of "hacking" when the fact is they are just plain shit at the game they are playing.
It is not something that I would put up with if it happened to my face so I won't take it from some nameless, faceless dickhead from the depths of the interwilds.

Team based kick votes are one of the best things ever introduced into gaming and as far as I am concerned, more games should have them.

Newbs != Noobs

Newbs are people who have just started playing and are learning the ropes. They want to get better and are open to constructive advice.

"Noob" is a term used by certain types of people, mostly Arseholes and Actual Noobs to describe anyone whose playstyle they don't approve of in any way or as a sign of disrespect.

Actual Noobs are similar to Newbs, except they don't want to learn or get better. They are convinced of their own superiority despite lacking any competence in whatever game they are playing.

Bear in mind that only an Arsehole or an Actual Noob would use the term "Noob" when adressing another person.

this right here sums it up quite nicely

 

[DrunkWithPower]

It's just a abusive word anymore. You could be god and be called a noob/camper/hacker/[insert word].

 

[BearCavalry9496]

"n00b" is a derivative of the word "newbie." They mean the same thing, but both have been taken out of context severely.

 

[iFail69]

I love noobs, they make me look good

and most games I play have a votekick function, so they really don't bother me that much if they are the annoying type

 

[ThePurpleStuff]

I don't mind new people in MMOs and such who ask questions, I answer and try to be nice to them since its their first day and all. But, if I meet the one n00b who asks for help, then I answer, yet they either keep asking for help or answer with the same question.. yeah. My eyes glaze over and I leave such people alone, since I always seem to meet them.

 

[Requx]

They make you lose in team games and kill multiplayer, but you cant blame them for learning I usually just tell them to try single player first so they dont suck as much.

im saying they think theyr masters when theyr playing, and if you shoot them they complain

aahh ok, I call them BKs, I refer to noobs as people who've just started playing a game and are trying to figure out how to use it properly..

realy i see no reason to hate the players who have just started playing i dont get it.....

I think you may have it wrong. What you are describing is a "newbie", someone who is new to a game's multiplayer section, who people generally don't have too much of a problem with.

The term "noob" is a name given to people who either use methods designed for new players (ie using the grenade launcher in MW2) despite being experienced player, or are generally unlikeable because of anger issues, excessive swearing/gay jokes, or the like.

Grenade launchers aren't designed for new players. It's part of the game. The people who get pissed at being hit by grenade launcher are noobs for being sore losers.

Oh, so dying because I was in the same room as the person who the noob toober was actually aiming at makes me a noob? You must be a fan of the GL, so let me describe some of the many qualities that make this a starting weapon:

1)it's usually one of the first unlocks for every gun that has it

2)it can hit from across the map and kill multiple people at once

and here's the kicker

3)you can get killed by someone using it despite you having killed him first, just because he pulled the bloody trigger.

This is like coming to a knife fight with a flamethrower. The only reason why it isn't being used by everyone is that you only get one shot at a time. It may be a part of the game, but it is definitely a part for those who haven't yet gotten the hang of FPSs yet.

Doesn't matter. It's a part of the game. Complaining is being a sore loser. I don't care how "unfair" it seems. It's not. And no, it isn't dying that makes you a noob, it's bitching about it. War isn't fair. There is a lot of luck and advantage-taking. Yes, I know, it's a game, not war, but sports are based on strategies derived from the realization that an opponent has some weakness. War is the same way, except people die.

From what you say, that means it is perfectly fine to take advantage of any balance issues that a game has. When it comes to games like Modern Warfare 2, there should be a balance and should only go down to skill, not some easy "I win" button.

Not at all. War is hardly a game decided only by what guns an army has. There is a lot of luck in war, as in almost any competitive game, and there is plenty of skill. Why do you think we pay so much attention to training soldiers and the teaching of Sun Tzu? Even the Red Baron put emphasis on the skill of a fighter pilot.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Well the main reason I hate noobs is that they beg for information and necessary items. I'm sorry, every game I've played I figured it out myself and got me this far, you can make it too.

 

[JLML]

Well, noobs aren't that annoying if they actually have brains (understand a "no" for example)

What's really annoying is the ones that consider themselves better than others/know better/more skilled and call everyone dying/whatever "noob!" and then shout "lucker!!" when they get killed.
Like my last LoL game, one in my team asked me to change champion because he considered it to be the crappiest one in the game. I didn't, got most kills/death in the entire match, and he had worst (not a single kill), but still claimed that it was I who sucked and not him. That kind of people are worse than noobs.

 

[SpireOfFire]

only elitists and morons hate noobs. everybody was a noob once. besides, a noob cant help it. its not like they're being noobs on purpose.

You're forgetting that we're talking about a game, which is based upon set rules. More importantly, we're talking about multiplayer, which was designed for players so that they can face an opponent who doesn't follow a set path each and every time, making it a matter of skill. If someone suddenly doesn't play based upon the conventional rules of fair play, then it not only ruins the experience for the other players, but renders the issue of skill moot. Things like the GL (remember, we were talking about the GL?) do that very thing when used by more experienced players.

You keep saying that since it's part of the game it's all right, but if that were the case, then I could theoretically put in some like the Rods from God and sit in a corner whilst everyone else get repeatedly killed by huge spikes from space, and no one should have an issue with it.
