description: (Remember to keep things civil and based on your own experiences.) This topic is for the purpose of listing the signs that you just might be a noob. 1. If your base is under attack by an arty and you run off to attack the enemy base leaving one person to simultaniously defend and repair the base, you just might be a noob. 2. If you think your refinery getting destroyed is a good thing, you just might be a noob. 3. If you think its noobish to mine, you just might be a noob. 4. If you think after five failed attampt at a solo tranport helicopter rush that the next one might work, you might be a noob. 5. If you think shooting at the same spot in an open field with an arty for over 30 minutes non-stop will do anything, you might be a noob. 6. If you go up behind a sniper that is taking aim at another sniper and open fire at the target, you might be a noob. 7. If you think aircraft will do any good on a map full of snipers, you might be a noob. 8. If you try to take out a mammoth as a regular Nod soldier, you might be a noob. 9. If you complain about how wimpy an apache is after getting owned by an experienced pilot, you might be a noob. 10. If you are GDI and try to repair your vehicle in the field and it gets stolen, you might be a noob.

If you waste all 30 of your team's Prox/Remote C4s on the pedestal, you might be a n00b. 25. If you ram your allies' vehicles to get them out of your way (because you are so much more deserving, and they might draw some of the enemy's fire off you!), you might be a n00b. 26. If you buy a vehicle just to get to your favorite sniper nest, you might be a n00b. 27. If you try to rush the AGT alone, on foot, you might be a n00b. 28. If you buy a Mammy when the enemy is using all Arties, you might be a n00b.

description: Never did understand why anyone would want to 1v1 in a team-based game...always seemed sort of like an e-penis contest to me. But whatever floats yer boat... 43. If you whisper obscenities at other players, then make up random bullshit to cover your ass when they reply calmly in general chat, you might be a n00b. 44. If you think that skill is determined by when a person started playing the game, you might be a n00b. 45. If you think your skill at the game determines how "right" or "wrong" you are, you might be a n00b (oh, well you can't beat me at a 1v1, STFU!!!!111!1111). 46. If you think that your team is to blame every time you fuck up, you might be a n00b. 47. If you think that basic infantry can't whip your $1000 super-soldier, you might be a n00b. 48. If you agitate for a tank rush when the enemy team consists of mostly anti-tank infantry with vehicle support all on defense, you might be a n00b. 49. If you're the uber-overkill defense in #48, and your team doesn't blast that n00b into oblivion, you might be a n00b.

If the need to save the turret is that great, GDI is probably pounding away at your base, which means you probably have little to no money. A Raveshaw does a better job of staving away tanks than the one turret. Giving up the Raveshaw not only loses you a better character to help protect the base, but repairing the turret gives them more points anyways, it's just another target. Raveshaw is a better pick.

There was some misunderstanding about this so I will explain the event behind this example. I was up on a cliff taking aim with a Deadeye at an experienced Sakura who had been picking off my team mates (even when they were running) and all of a sudden a GDI soldier came in behind me, opend fire, and instantly made the Sakura aware of my position forcing me to take cover and missing my opportunity for another head shot. Just to let noobs know... At long ranges in any game and in real life, the best anti-snipers are other snipers, not basic infantry firing at a target almost outside their weapons maximum range.

description: Lijitsu wrote on Mon, 08 August 2005 22:54 What, the fact that you think that CTF is the best mode? Hey, everyone is a noob in one way or the other. Personally, i dont mine very well, buy a Sniper when the base is under attack, and refuse to do certain things when im asked to. Actually, it was in reference to all four of those I quoted. But yeah, I enjoy lengthy Capture the Flag games from time to time. I think that mode rocks. I like it best when they don't replace Gunner for God sakes. . . GDI doesn't need freaking Stealth Black Hands. >_>;

description: YOU ARE A NOOB if you do thise stand watching your base blowing up telling everyone "building needs repair!" when your have hotty,tech. if you stand in the middle of the map looking right at a sniper and not opening fire. you are a noob if you get mvp on no noobs server. buy a mammy and get it blow up just as you leave the base. watching a nuke,ion cannon counting down to strike and once it goes off you tell your team "you was crap you all noobs" even when you had a tech,hotty. you open fire on some one on the other side of the map even when the retical is gray.
