    hey! Not exactly a newbie but don't post much in here!

    I am currently in California with no PS so I'm going cold turkey :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Good afternoon.

    *Disclaimer*

    Before I join any of these clans, I would like to point out that yes, I already know that I am sh*t at online games. I don't need a constant reminder.
    Yes, I am a "noob" and again, I don't need reminding.

    Just thought I'd be honest.

    I posted a good bit when I first got MW2 but no doubt will be back again when I get Black Ops. I am useless online but will take one for the team :pac:

    I think the lads will all agree that whether you're any good or not doesn't matter that much when we're partying up. It's moren about just having a laugh. Plus, it's alot easier to play in a party :)

    I'll get addin' a few of ye when I'm home from work if that's alright with you. Will be on intermmitently (sp?) this evening. Will be taking a break at about half seven for the football and will hopefully be back on after that for a little while after.

    Welcome Newbs :D

    If you have any questions that you need to ask re: the forum, just ask myself or r3nu4l and we'll get back to you as soon as.

    Also some good advice I can pass on to any newbies to this place or COD itself is to add a few of the other poster names yourself. Many of the people who left the username/ID's in the Sharing Gamertag thread rarely check it out so I've read.

    Most boardsies will add fellow boardsies :)

    Welcome Newbs :D

    Just a side note on this. If you are adding people from the GamerTag list it's worth your while stating you are from Boards in the Friend Request...

    I've had some people ask who I was/decline my FR due to not knowing who I was

    Also vice versa

    On that note, is there any way to add some sort of message to Friend Invites on Steam (for anyone who's playing on PC)? I didn't see any apparent option to add a bit of text to the Friend Request when I added cherryghost (although, I'm hoping he remembered my Boards name after adding it to the XBL/PSN/Steam ID list), but I can't expect every other Boardsie to figure out who I am :P

    Ya I think there should be list of terms draw up or something ,when I started I had no idea what a n00b,n00btuber,quickscoper and alike were


  • Site Banned Posts: 26,456 ✭✭✭✭Nuri Sahin


    COD(+ general first person shooter) Terminology.....

    Noob/Scrub -
    For most people, a noob or n00b is someone that lacks intellegance or common sense.

    Nub - like a noob but far more extended in the case of someone having played a game or whatever for a long time yet still has no idea what he is doing.

    pwned and owned- is simply being completely annihilated by another player or even yourself. The latter would be referred to self- ownage/pwnage. Say, being to lazy to tie your shoe lace and then proceed in tripping over your own shoe lace and falling skull first into the cold, hard concrete. While a Barcauda shark jumps out of nowhere and does it thaanng to you.

    Noobtube - A common name for any Grenade laucher attachment that can be used by Assault class. Usually very easy to use and is a must for anyone who is useless.

    Quickscoper - A person who quick scopes will use a sniper rifle, but instead of aiming down the scope like sniper riffles were made for, they exploit a feature and shoot when the cross hairs meet, resulting in a one hit kill, despite the fact a majority of the time the cross hairs miss the target. Then when somebody uses a sniper riffle for what it was meant for and look down the scope, the people who quick scope yell at the player who looked down the scope and call them a "hard scoper"

    Camper - A camper is someone who stays in one spot and waits for enemies to walk past him before attacking like a honey badger. They're nasty I tells ya.

    Another meaning is one who is brandished with the title, camper but is actually playing the objective ie: gaurding the B flag in Domination(the key flag to capture). Most kids would reference many competitive gamers as campers(2 or 3 players sitting back and defending the flag in Capture the Flag. These kids should arguably be put down or least have to fight some honey badgers.

    Howaya lads :) Playing on a PS3, feel free to add me essence_of_chaos

    PC BlackOps newb ... steam handle is troutlord

    I've been playing the solo campaigns this week ... and enjoying them for the most part, though the cutscenes are painfully slow to cancel.

    I've tried a few multi-player training games, with bots ... and that's pretty good too.

    If I get a few hours tonight, I'll venture into the ranked servers ... is there an etiquette to which servers you attach to? Or do you just jump in and hope for the best?

    If fellow PC loons are at a loose end tonight, feel free to add/invite/humiliate me :cool:

    I don't have a headset yet, so that limits me for the team games ... I tend to stick to FFA

    Just want to echo Tallon's comment above.

    If any PC user wants to start a thread for just them by all means go ahead :)
    I'm not one for self praise but.......... there wasn't a PS3 thread for ages until I used by amazing good looks, witty charm and intensely ingenious thinking + initiative to start one up :pac:


    so by comparison people who have xboxs have that much more community spirit and initiative than ps3 users . and ps3 users have that much more than pc users . hmmm . interesting .
