Righto guys and girls, what or who is noob? Ive gathered that its meant to be derogatry but come on, im sure we can do better then that?

Or am i completely missing something? If so, my bad

what do you mean who is noob? nobody is noob. People make it up when they get killed by a weapon or person they say noob or to lower levels.

You may have simultaneously answered your question. LOL Just kidding...Its meant as a derogatory term for someone lacking skill or a new player that jus might not get it yet...The people that say it the most seem to be the one's that are getting raped because of they're own lack of skill...somehow, it must make them feel better inside.

Noob used to be a descriptive, non-offensive word to describe a new player to a game.

Its now been abused by so many idiots, and been the butt of so many bad jokes that its lost all meaning.

Now N00b just means any other insult "b**tard", "W**ker" or moron. people just use it as a crappy insult, not realising it isnt even very offensive anymore.

Newbie (New player) = someone who just started playing a game (in this context) A player who lacks the skill and ability of a player that has been around. He/She doesn't know what he/she is doing. This is normal, everybody starts out as a newbie in a game. (You still have to learn what you can and cannot do)

Noob = Tho noob may be derived from the word newbie, it has a total different meaning most of the time. Now most people use it as a way of insulting another player. But like said, most people don't find it offending anymore and will pay no attention to it. Noob is commonly used and I'll give some examples when people start calling other people noobs

+ When someone gets raped by the same person over and over, they lack the ability to counter the attackers tactics. They don't know what to do so they resort to NOOB to let the other player know they don't like it.

+ People who camp are often seen as noobs
(This is another discussion, but i feel camping is a strategy as any other one. I don't like it tho. I normally never call people noob but there's an exception, A camping sniper who has two claymores behind his a** Is an idiot, it's clear he doesn't have a clue to what he's doing. He totaly misses the concept of a sniper in this game. Never rely on claymores to cover your back all the time, keep on the move.)

+ The use of certain weapons and perks is seen as noobish
ie. Grenadelauncher, P90, Martyrdom, Juggernaut, random nade tossing, ...
I think this is real BS, the weapons are in the game, use them to your liking.
(DIFERENCE when the server has specific rules.)

+ When you kill someone in a way he/she thinks is impossible, or just for killing someone. These persons are idiots! OMG N00B Yu killed me wtf HaXXOR!!!


Don't pay attention to it, most of the time it's said out of frustration that the game isn't going the way they would like it to go.

Welcome to the internet, newbie.

I remember hearing "newbie" back in my Everquest days and thinking that was the stupidest "insult" ever. Now I hear "nub" on my private server WoW days and think... I bet you don't even know who the first president was... O.o

Sometimes when people call me a "noob" I just say "how long did it take you to think of that insult?" and then just block/stop listening. xD
