Do you really care being called a noob?

    More or less everything is considered noobish to some degree. Glaunchers, MLC, camping, the knife, claymores, danger close, killstreaks, HBS, the UMP, the Scar etc etc

    I admit when getting the DC embelm I did feel pretty cheap and in the end was sick and tired of blowing up anything that moved but anyone can use any perk/weapon combo. I don't think anything is particularly overpowered.

    I just see the term "noob" being thrown around a lot and always think "meh so what?"

    Ive stopped caring what anyone else thinks. Who cares what a 12 year old in Idaho thinks of you?

    meh i take it as a comlipment now as its usually some 10 year old american having a hissy fit that he is losing and will be losing stats on his precious K/D ratio.

    and besides if you dont use any "noob style" perks/weapons they arent going to give you a medal for not using it. i have been known to use danger close oneman army launhers to level they playingfield from time to time

    don't use commando or oma or any of that ****e but i'll always have a grenade launcher for one reason only and that's revenge killing,i can't help myself going back to get someone when I know where they are camped out and instead of gettin picked off again on my way back i'll get them from a ridiculous distance away,usually takes a test shot first and then the satisfying direct hit,and I couldn't case less about what anyone else says,i've had my fun and that's all that matters

    I've been called a noob for sending a thumper grenade sailing through a window and taking out two boosters and their TI's, I knew they were there and it was a damn good shot, but for the rest of the match they kept calling me "that noob" every time I was disrupting them, knobs.

    and no, I've decided to not give a sh1t about if people think using an ACR with stopping power, or a thumper, or akimbo mpk5's is "nooby", they're in the game, so they're fair game.

    I love getting called a noob at the end of a game when your 2k points above everyone else, great fun.

    lol

    i get called many different things under the sun, especially when i went 38-0 on invasion not my fault no one on the other team would bother to take out a stinger and shoot it down :D

    this wrecks my head, when people assume someone else will shoot down the air support for them, then nobody does and the team gets annihilated.

    it annoyed me too thats why i always have a stinger equipped its also easy xp for wiping out airsupport. its easier than one would think to shoot down an AC-130 and harriers go down with 1 stinger

    but as for the 38-0 noone shot down my airsupport i had harrier, pavelow, chopper gunner and it was domination any they allowed their team to get spawn trapped as none of them were interested in taking any of the capture points

    Whats even worse is when the retards are constantly running outside without cold blooded, instead of waiting it out and not giving them free kills

    Never been called one. I can't understand why. When i play in the resurgence playlists and a SnD match comes up on Vacant i whip out my AT4 launcher with danger close pro, and pray that my team spawns outside where the containers are.


    When the game starts i switch straight to launcher as i run towards the place where bombsite A?? ( the big room) is and launch it straight into the little room that joins the spawnpoint to the bomb room.

    Triple kill.:D

    Job well done. Funny thing is the gob****es persist on coming back and trying to do it again, and fail miserably by taking the launcher in the mush.

    Out of interest, how does this wreck your head. I presume it's when "your" team gets annihilated, so why haven't you saved the team by getting out your stinger? ;):)

    I despise running into people like you in-game.You can't shoot straight so you resort to using awful perks/equipment which even my gran could use.CoD isn't even a ****ing shooter anymore,it's just one big explosion

    Lets face it in public rooms its good to get a bit of banter going,it livens up the game and is good craic.

    Whinge....Whinge....Whinge.

    Who the **** robbed your years supply of lolipops ya bloody crank!!!

    I didn't put these perks in the game, iw did. IF they believe they're fair game then i'll use them as i see fit.

    You're probably one of the fools that runs into my launcher every game.

    Get a grip.

    get a grip yourself,do you honestly think that painkiller is fair?or that camping is fair?Just cause it's in the game doesn't mean it's "fair".

    yeah i'll whinge on this if i want to,especially if its full of mongoloids like yourself that think that they're the dogs bollocks if they get a few kills from tubes.

    and no i'm not one of those "fools".I'd dominate you on this,believe me....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,609 ✭✭✭Creasy_bear


    That lad is right though ...........The last two weeks I've been going for nukes and the game is just one big explosion lol

    If you just stop and listen to the game for 5/6 secs all you can hear is tubes being fired .

    Theres very little skill in this game ........if you kill a lad he will come back with commando , if you kill him again he will come back with danger close

    Theres no skill in most games

    I don't use painkiller nor do i camp but if i feel the need to use a launcher with danger close pro i'll do it. What you seem to forget is that it's only a game, not real life. I repeat NOT REAL LIFE.

    I don't run around the map with scavenger using thumpers ffs. I use the launcher at the start of a round and when it's gone it's gone i run around with a machine gun.

    You'd dominate me? hahahaha. Yet again i repeat, IT'S A GAME.

    yeah i know it's not real life,well done on pointing that out cpt. obvious,have to repeat it a few times to remind yourself?btw,I like to enjoy playing games and getting killed from spawn by a launcher by someone who isn't able to outshoot me normally isn't what I call "fun".

    If you feel ok with knowing that you didn't earn any of your kills then fire away

    ZING !!!!

    Lads its only a game !!

    Use whatever setup you want. I dress the way I want but I don't have tools passing me by in the street calling my a noob because they don't like the sh*t I'm wearing.

    You just need to adapt to the game you find yourself in and change your class next time you die.

    I've just realised that there's no point in replying to you.

    Everytime you post i can't see past the whinging and moaning about something or other. Maybe think about what you're going to post rather than posting the first thing that comes to mind.

    Although it's a given that you'll just continue to whinge and moan about things in the game that don't suit you.

    Boring....................

    Finally someone with a bit of cop on.

    alright sorry mr.i'llrepeatthatitsagame4000times.I obviously am going to moan about something I don't like.Why shouldn't I?It's a forum for discussion.
    Also,it's not that they don't suit me,I can use them if i want,I just don't see the point of killing somebody that way when I get no satisfaction out of it,knowing that I just cheated a kill.

    Also nice generic "think before you post" comeback.Sadly enough,it's not relevant here.

    Honestly,wouldn't you feel happier if nobody used any of the "nooby" things?

    Tbh i'd prefer if there was no grenade launchers at all or painkiller.

    But there is and i've just got to deal with it. Pretty simple.
