Noobs vs. Newbs
This is meant to distinguish between noobs and newbs, which can be very difficult to tell apart, based on behavior. NOOBS: Rely on cheap tactics to barely finish second-to-last on the team, and often blame others for their mistakes. Noobs have no ambition to get better at [the game] they [fail] at, and are [happy] just pissing off the rest of us. Noobs are not limited to low levels, some have become [55] [Gold] Crosses. Noobs are found camping with their M203-equipped M16's (standard noob issue), Juggernaut and Last Stand, in the same exact place you just killed them in a few minutes ago. COMMUNICATING WITH NOOBS: Is not a good idea. The vast majority of encounters often end with noobs being brutal flamed in the pre-game lobbies, as noobs are unintelligent and [slow]-thinking. Any attempt to communicate with noobs is immediately met with a pre-set list of insults, such as "[Shut the fuck up]", "You wanna go one-on-one?", "I could rape you", etc. NEWBS: Honest, humble, polite players who strive to better themselves by playing as a team and seeking the advice of others. Newbs are new to [the game], so they [don]'t know, and, when confronted after using noob tactics, apologize for their behavior and immediately cease all noob activity. COMMUNICATION WITH NEWBS: One of the most pleasant conversations ever on Xbox Live/Playstation Network. When you start talking to them, you realize they are different from noobs, and that they are sorry for their behavior.
Noobs vs. Newbs In COD4: Noob (actual example) Me: You fucking [Juggernaut] M16 noob, go to fucking [hell], or start using a real gun, bitch. You went 8 and 15, that's [pathetic]. Noob: Shut the fuck up, I'[ll] rape you if we go one-on-one. (Next game noob goes 4 and 11) Noob: Fine, I'[ll] rape you in Cage Match. (We go one-on-one, I beat him 25-6) Noob: Fuck you, I just drank a Red Bull (official beverage of noobs) and I'm tense and shaky. Me: Noob IN COD4: NEWB (another actual example) (newb goes 3 and 13, killing me twice with an M16 and Juggernaut) Me: The fuck was that, [asshole]? You think you can just camp in the back with a M16 and Juggernaut and that's OK? Fuck you, bitch. Newb: Wait, what? Oh, sorry about that. I just bought this game last week and I'm still learning how to play. What should I use, do you think? Me: (somewhat surprised) Oh... Well, if I were you, I'd go with an AK-[47] and Stopping Power, that always works for me, at least. Newb: All right, thanks, dude. (next game, newb goes 6 and 8) Newb: Wow, man, thanks a lot, that really helped. Me: No problem. (most encounters of newbs end with [Friend] Requesting each other, and becoming on of your main Xbox Live friends you [don]'t actually know in person)
This definition is too long for this mug.
