Many people online just slate people who are new to games as if they're terrible people. If you admit to being a noob you will get laughed at and insulted at. I told people I was proud of being a noob on an online game called stick arena and this guy just had a go at me for thinking it is ok to be one. Is this really how online gaming should be portrayed? As a place that is overly competitive where people who are bad will get insulted no stop being people who think they're really hardcore with their 3.94 KDs?

Noobs aren't bad people, they just either
1. Don't know how to play. (which is fine)
2. Beg a lot for stuff. (that's the annoying kind)

I think a "newb" is a newbie and a "noob" is an insult.

people used to call me noob because i was smarter then them and killed them all the time. (unreal tournament 2004)
i find it funny tho, what are they if they get killed by a noob all the time =P

anyway i see a big difference in a "newb" and a "noob":

a newb for me, is some1 that just started playing the game and asks questions and does stupid things because he simply doesn't know beter.

a noob for me, is some1 that is playing the game quite a while already. but still is doing the stupid things and believes that he is doing it right. and also tells people that they have to play it like how he does.
and of course the people that shout noob to all other player(s) all the time is a noob himself. those people are just annoying freaks that take gaming to serious.

Haha... Snipers are the most hated people in-game....
Everyone have been through the "noob" process so I don't see any point in harassing people who are new to the game.
Besides that, Noobs are very efficient when it comes to Shooting games, they help you rank up because they haven't mastered it jet. :P

I don't mind the snipers that actually get into nice spots sniping people, I just dislike those who run around and quick scope. It makes the games very unfun because there's no way in hell someone is going to pull up their sights that fast and kill someone who has a shotgun, assault rifle, etc.

Depends on your definition of the word "noob". Some use it as newcomer and some use it as a truly annoying person who has been playing the game for a while, as in they mess up the game for everyone and are utterly bad even though they've been playing for such a long time.

To avoid the confusion I just regard newcomers are newbs and the others as nubs.

"Noob" is such a stupid word. People that have played the game for years call the new guys "noobs" even though they were newbies at once also, so I really don't see the whole point in saying it because it doesn't sound funny or anything.

if your used to fast shooters (unlike cod) then quick scoping in cod is a prety easy thing to do.

there is a difference between being new to a game and being an idiot,if you r new ask for tips hiding places ect others are just a pain in the a$$ so ignore some level 80 prestiged player calling u a noob just shrug it off,an idiot is someone who thinks they are liked and annoy everyone else because it is funny to them.
