Yes.

I used any sort of weapon that could kill a person in Call of Duty.

(I've been called a noob for basically every conceivable thing in COD.)
Very true, I even get a lot of that on PC though not as bad as when I had a go at the 360 version. Yeah, Activision/IW/Treyarch NEEDS to learn how to manage and administer their community better.

This really, though back when we had stopping power and juggernaut those are just ridiculously overpowered perks, 40% more health or 40% more weapons damage for NO downside and not even indication you are running it? It turns something like the M16 into a insta-death raygun, deadlier than a sniper rifle as it'll one hit kill even kill with limb shots and fire faster too.

That really is nooby and I'm frankly glad Jug and Stopping Power are gone from Black Ops, makes you wonder why they didn't do it sooner.

Also like how Black ops does Killstreaks, reminds me more of COD4 In how they are significant but not game ending every time they are deployed, i think people are spoiled after MW2's ridiculous killstreaks, maybe that's why people are so mad about Blops' more balanced approach? But the best thing is how killstreaks don't self stack, that gives a huge incentive to run your first two Killstreaks as support functions, like spy plane, counter-spy, Blackbird and so on.

Things like that really make Treyarch the more innovative developer out of the two CoD devs teams, definitely revolutionising the game the most since the seminal COD4.

But the ongoing problem is how poorly managed the CoD community is, unlike other online multiplayer communities CoD doesn't have as much dialogue between players and developers, what's the point as for most within months of buying the game the sequel is already announced! Also with such a huge player base as well as transient one, but still if Activision REALLY wants to make CoD advance with the times they need to find a way of communicating to their player base guiding them to good practice and stopping bad practice in its tracks.

I mean that blatant quick-scoping glitch should have been patched out within months of MW2 launching, not waiting for the entire sequel!

eh it depends, in mostly any shooter, if some dude on the other team is being a douchebag or using a really cheap tactic, i normally have a really cheap counter attack tactic in which continuously owns them, to the point they eventually stop, which i feel triumphant and go back to my normal routine of just having fun. its the one goal of mine while playing shooters, is to annoy and humiliate all douchebags using douchebag strategies. i i succeed in that then i have a very successful day

Sniping, and charging with a rocket launcher into the enemy spawn point, killing everybody on their team (and myself) with a couple of well-placed missiles. In fairness, it's not hard to see a guy carrying a rocket launcher running straight at you, and they couldn't bring me down in time.

You and me both, man. I once got called trash by a quickscoper for being a legitimate sniper, and using my sidearm, in one sentence.

And for the record, it was a USP. With no attachments.

I've been called a noob for "spawn killing" in Call of Duty. I run around a corner and two people spawn infront of me. What the hell am I supposed to do? Run away?

I use an WWII Machine Gun as a Medic in BF:BC2.
Its really good since it is lightweight and dosen't take a millenium to reload.

According to my friends, you are supposed to cook a grenade and kill yourself in said situation.

At least someone is sure to die that way right?

Yeah but by the time I cook the grenade I'd be dead.

Ehhh, it depends. If it's a friendly match, then as long as they aren't, I'll keep some honor in the game. But if it's something online, then I might if I'm really getting my butt kicked.

I have used the AWP in Counterstrike when I get fed up of the other team spamming it.
My ultimate threat to the other team was "If you keep AWPing like idiots, you'll make me buy one and rape you all"...
Nobody ever beleived me, until I grabbed one and started destroying the enemy team to the point of being banned for "hacking"...
Good times.
If you are banned for hacking, you know you are playing right.

I think the AWP is a little bit too nerfed nowadays.
It's still one hit kill even with full kevlar and helmet, how is that nerfed?

With my 3,9 win/loose ratio with only 1,4 Kill/death ratio the answer to your question is yes.

Sure I did. On a game called dragon raja (mmorpg). I was a mage fighting an archer. Mages had this spell: protect from missiles. Had like 90% defense against arrows. Downside was if you were fighting archer and warrior for example it was useless since one hit from a warrior with that defense spell on and you were dead. But i digress. Back to the point.

I was dueling him and used that spell as defense. It was considered noob because in a duel with that defensive spell you just couldn't lose. It's impossible. Didn't care then. Hated the guy.
