I know that I have played with even 3 Start Generals that I would say are NOOBish. But I am just wondering when you think a player "SHOULD" Know Better !!

Maybe a Bit Harsh but anything more the a Corporal flooding the Screen with How Do you Change Seats in Vehicles or What do you press for Parachute.

Any thoughts?

It's not rank based.

How, then, would you judge someone's second account?

2nd Lieutenant at the very least.

In your case, it might even take that extra 200 days until Captain.

I think it is Ranked based to an extent, Rank SHOULD be a good indication of what type of Player you are dealing with, but I find I have a little more tolerance for a LC Asking Noob questions. Sometimes I find myself getting more annoyed with some joining a server just to ask How do you do this, can you show me that when the are 1st Sergeant.

I remeber when I first started I think I was one of the biggest Noobs out there. I Think I got a Purple heart every game for my first 10 games lol. But one I got around 600-700 Pts I new what was going one and how not to be a smacktard and actually play the game right.

Master Sergeant/First Sergeant, big gap of 30k so you don't know where somebody is. If you are a noob, you don't have a high SPM so you already played a lot of hours to get that rank so I think at Master Sergeant/First Sergeant.

You'd expect after waiting 30,000 points to get to Sergeant Major, you'd know how to play.

Second accounts are for people who are testing out hacks before applying them to their real account and people who want to be pricks without that pesky retribution thing.

I chose Gunnery Sgt.

I think by that time you have an idea of how the game is played.

By then you should KNOW what is the difference between a "Noob" and a New player and act accordingly.

I play a LOT of hours and it took me a long time to figure stuff out. In fact it's only recenlty I've started to realize half my deaths are just due to my being stupid or careless. I've also realized some of the players I know that have great KDRs have such because I follow them around reviving their a** when they get killed or throwing them medic packs when they have a couple bars of health left.

When I first started playing I'd be happy to get a revive & a heal point with every death. Now I want at least 5-6 points (including at least one kill) for every death. (Yeah, I know most of my stats still suck.)

My KDR was about .25 when I learned about KDR, SPM and some of the other Stats that really gauge individual performance IMHO. It's taken work but I've raised it to .60 and am hoping to make it to .8 - .9 in another 2 months of play maybe even get it up to 1 LOL. (Unless I become hooked on QW:ET).

In the real world... a deployed Lance Corporal will do just fine.

BUT... to answer honestly... in game, rank doesn't state anything. A player with the rank of LT but doesn't want to improve himself by being a team oriented player is basically the same as a brand new player. They're both useless to the team, and just causes more trouble for the people that are in a vehicle with them. Also, players like me can be a noob at aerial vehicles only because well, I don't like flying! But attitude wise... it all depends on the person whether they want to cooperate. Being mature in real life is what it takes to become a non-noob in this game.

You stop being a complete noob after you realise that in fact, you are a complete noob...after that, life tends to be easier

What's considered grown up in game anyway? Just like in real life... what qualifies as you've become a "man"?

twiistaaa: Member; +87|6934|mexico

probably first sergeant (if they get it) or at least halfway to master gunnery sergeant if not. by 35000 points they should have a good handle on the game.
