Do noobs anoy you?

[kidigus]

Are you ever in a situation where you are called apon to teach someone how to play a game (or something along those lines) and find that you are almost incapable of dealing with their deplorable skill? I had to teach someone L4D2, and I often found myself saying things like:

"Left! No,that left!"

"Forget the SMG, there's an M-16 right there!"

And

"You had a granade-launcher, and you tryed to brain that tank with a frying pan."

Yah know stuff like that.

Meh, annoying yes, but what ever. I mean we all were starters once. and they want to act tough to show they are pros

 

[NeutralDrow]

Depends on their attitude about it. If they're screwing up due to inexperience, I'm patient. If they're screwing up due to inexperience while being total asshats, I resent them.

 

[Julianking93]

Meh. Sort of.

I'm sure people hated me when I first started here.

Then that's not about them being a noob, it's about them being a jerk.

 

[Sassafrass]

Not really.
Last time I played on-line most 'noobs' were pretty good. Or at least got a respectable kill count. They only bug me if they are just flat out being obnoxius or just being asshats.

 

[Jon Etheridge]

Everyone was a noob at some point.

 

[RUINER ACTUAL]

Not really like that. I find myself trying to direct someone to a target in HC in CoD, but they aren't noobs. Usually, the noobs that annoy me are the ones who think they're great for getting cheap kills with cheap weapons.

Fuck the M16, I'll take any SMG over it.

"You had a granade-launcher, and you tryed to brain that tank with a frying pan."

lmao
i'm not really bothered, but sometimes on the bad company 2 demo, watching some noob jump in the AA tank, drive into the enemy base, get killed, tank captured.. giving the enemy apache free reign over the skies.. facepalm moment.
once it happened while i was on it trying to shoot down the apache, some noob jumps in and drivesit into the enemy base while i'm yelling "what the FUCK are you doing!?!"

 

[oppp7]

No, they help my K/D ratio and make me look good by comparison.
OT: The people who get angry at noobs are power gamers and such. They have anger problems and really need to try a different genre before they have an anerism[sic].

I took <url=http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20060823>this comic to heart in my terminology.

 

[Joe Matsuda]

no

but only 'cause I'm a noob myself

for the love of God, don't ask what my K/D ration is on MW2...

 

[quiet_samurai]

Yup, that's why I don't let it bother me. We all had to learn to crawl before we could circle strafe.

 

[Composer]

well there are newbs(as in new players),and i find it fun to teach them the ropes to great zombie killing
.....and theeeen theres noobs aka the spawn of satan. these people are the most annoying on the xboxlive and i wish they would be eaten by said zombies.

 

[JaredXE]

Noobs? No. EVERYONE was a newbie once. Yes, even YOU!

But people who have played a game long enough to know better and they still behave like noobs? Kill them with a blunt object please.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

No. The inexperienced usually provide a few laughs along the way...glad for 'em really.

 

[Talvrae]

Yah know stuff like that.

There is noob and there is idiot.. here you have prime example of the later

 

[gamer416]

when noobs whore vehicles
especially choppers
thats when i start team kill

 

[C_sector]

Well, if a n00b ruins a game i either finish it and go create/join a new game. N00bs only piss me off so much when they call you a n00b just because what you are doing is different to theirs and actually more correct.

I'm kind of the same way. If I notice that someone is a bit inexperienced online, I'll guide them through the game and hopefully teach them to play as good as I do. The instant they intentionally put a second bullet into me though, the teaching ends and I leave.

Call it rage quit, but I know a future asshole when I meet one online, and someone not appreciating the fact you are protecting them from the flaming of others while teaching them to be competent is just like spitting in my face.

Everyone was a noob at some point.

Words ripped directly from my throat.

A lot of good gamer kind of forget they they were new to a game at one point. What ticks me of the most is just how self centered some of these people think only about "their game" and disregard other people.

The best examples I can think of are on playing Nazi Zombies World at War, particularly on Xbox Live. People get angry when you shoot a zombie in front of them, even while it's about to get them. It gives you the strongest sensation to roll your eyes when you hear a 9 year old scream "stop stealing my kills". Have they just become so self centered that they actually forget what scenario they are in? People aren't calling dibs on kills when you are the last 4 people on earth.
