I always hear people say 'he's a noob', or 'he's so nooby'. But is there a set definition for it, or do people call other people noobs that they don't think is very good.

Also, people call other people noobs out of spite, say a corporal kills a captain, next thing on the chat box is 'xxxx is a n00b h4x0r!!' or something along those lines. It happens to me alot, i knife someone, 'you're a n00b'. I have never called anyone a n00b, because i am relatively new to the game, but shit does it piss me off when i hear it.

n00bs should be left alone, because in time, they get better.


And then you get the insult 'Karkand n00b'. Oh Dear. Ever thought that people play Karkand because it is a genuinly good map? I do, i love it, the fact that you can wheel in the points is just a bonus, as it is with Jalalabad, Sharqi, Wake, Daqing and Mashtuur. But if you have them as by far and away your favourite map, the you just get looked at funny.

n00b = someone who is new at something

all other uses are incorrect IMO
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

n00b = noob = newb = newbie = newcomer = doesn't know very well what he's doing.

Although there's an essential difference between n00b and newb, as the newb (aka. newbie) show intentions to change his behavior to the better, while the typical n00b is unwilling to change his attitude towards other players.

Well maybe if you didn't camp your ass off so much, especially on Jalalabad, then maybe people wouldn't call you it.

definition of a noob?

me in my early days. installing the game, starting it, loading a map called "strike at karkand". and then spending the next 30 minutes in front of the 15 sec waiting screen, because i didnt know jack of the map... popping some nades in the wrong direction, tk someone, triggering my own claymores and all that stuff... but as you said, you get better, and i did.

and yes, i keep getting called "noob" and "whore" for my use of claymores. but i donĀ“t whore with them, i just use them to defend my six, when im all alone out there going for headshots. but thats the way. kill someone and you are a haxor, get killed and you are the noob...

so dont mind...

anyway, good idea to bring up the thread...

I despise the word noob and anything like it.

People who use 'leetspeak' in a serious manner force me to look down upon them in utter disgust.

You can't have a definition of it. It's not a real word, real words make sense and don't have two numbers in the middle of them.

A Noob is the person going around in the game screaming Noob

Some significant actions for BF2:
-won't give ammo
-won't heal or revive, if he revives only in the line of enemy fire
-will grab the chopper, even he has no fucking clue
-if gunner, will shot with the tv at random things, overheat the gun but NEVER towards enemy vehicles or choppers
-will stand still why shot at
... i could go on.

A noob is one who is new at the game.

A chronic noob is one who feels there he knows all there is to know about the game and can learn nothing more from no one else.  ...that those who best him must hack.

One has to make a difference between noobs and newbies.

Newbies are the ones who are new to the game and just don't know how to play it. These are easy to deal with.

But also more experienced players can be so called 'noobs' if they use only lame tactics and piss other people off. For example if someone uses only the grenade launcher for the whole round i would call him a noob, even if he has like a captain rank.

Also I want to apoligize if I have ever called someone from bf2s a noob, but i just tend to say that word very often.

ROFL. It always makes me laugh if I place a claymore and they run in.

hmm, seems like everyones a n00b or whatever! doesn't matter what you do, your a n00b!
cap a flag = n00b, get a kill=noob, get a caly kill=ultra n00b
highest scoring player = hacker n00b

when i started i was a n00b because i thought if i held a pistol or knife rather than a rifle, i could run faster, just like in Call of Duty 2........

possibly the most 'n00b' like thing ive experienced would be using clays to defend a flag even when its going to kill your team-mates spawning there!
