<span id='postcolor'>

actually, if you look directly out and stand pretty darn close to window, you can. but if you're even a bit off, ka-boom.

You are a noob if...

you get lost in small island southeast of Malden(NATO base) and can't find your way back for 30 minutes.

you think you can run the whole island.

you thin you can drive whole island at 60kmh

you think choppers won't crash(except ver.145)

[LordZach 0]

you think you can trust the AI to drive without crashing into every single tree along the road

you put a lot of planes in your mission and expect them not to crash into eachother (making my south pacific campaign hell)

you trust the AI to engage the enemy when you tell them to

you trust the AI to cover your back while you scout

you trust the AI to do anything at all...

you open up on an enemy 500m away standing up firing your M60 and call them cheaters when they dont die after you expend all your ammo

...you are privately convinced there is a way to aim the Scud

...after you TK your buddy you say: "How the Hell do you tell East and West apart?"

...you attempt to 'bounce' a grenade around a corner

...you bail out over water and think: "Thats okay, Ill just swim to shore"

...your final thoughts are: "Whats a Shilka? Is it like a Commie vacuum or something?"

It's damn hard alright Shadow, but these are the only 2 things that'll swat a hind out of the air with one hit (well, except tank guns).

[LordZach 0]

you go to the white ammo crates and grab all the mines and then set them up all around the outskirts of your base saying it will keep the ruskees armor out of your base (as a m113 rolls by and drives over one of the mines he layed)

had that happen, i was the gunner...grr

you use up all the mines on the road as the enemy goes around the roadblock

you take all the mines and make a "minefield" telling your team not to step on them or they will explode

Ok...in the past two days I've experienced possibly the worst three kinds of n00b to have as your teammate in a CTF game. Here they are:

1 - in a 2vs2 CTF: He flies into the enemy safe zone, the map kills him, and he spends the remaining 20 minutes of the game accusing you of being a TKer because it told him "friendly fire".

2 - Somehow manages to run over every single ammo crate in your base with his BMP

3 - another 2vs2 CTF: He gets more kills on you than the enemy team does, and you are the ONLY one he kills for the duration of the entire game

LOL! I've experienced this.

this thread reminds me of why i have only played multi 4 times

[jawk2 1]

Two that  i can add (plane/chopper only):

- he only use the rocket in chopper, becse 30mm gun didnt have the explode radius.

-When he attack some ground target  he didnt even aim and only do a massiv waste of FFAR without thinking the chopper could be use for the entire match.

*just forgetted that* when he pilot a chopper he didnt even know that u must keep noose low to do a speed corner...and at medium speed or with a heavy chopper to do a cycling in turn ===> he always hit the cloudlet when he turns at 0Mph

U stand up and fire ur PK/M60 fully auto for a clip doing serious damage to the treetops.

You have to run up until ur two feet away from a guy and then check his weapon to determine his team

You try to bounce a hand grenade off a wall to get someone there

You get out ur car while still going at 60 miles an hour

U fill up with hand grenades from a crate never realising ur dropping all your clips

U target an enemy soldier in preference to an AT soldier in an M11..ARGH

U take on a prone enemy shooting full auto from an up position

U get shot in the legs and yell Hey theres a bug! I cant get up

U empty an entire clip on a bush you may think a guys in giving away ur position

U go everywhere by roads

[Major Fubar 0]

You run for shelter against a Ural after an AI soldeir says "enemy soldier, 100" not noticing that he actually said "enemy LAW soldier, 100".

Result=BOOM

heh

-you roll into your town with your shiny brand new armor not expecting there to be any mines laid down by friendlies.

-you fly a chopper at 40 altitude and everyone who jumps out dies.

I think in this case the n00b is the idiot jumping out. In Coop games when I fly I fly low, and there's always some dim-witted wannabe-paratroop who dosen't want to wait till I land, dies while I'm doing 200+ mph at 50 meters or so and then always says "WTF?". Everyone else who stays in till I've landed properly ends up fine

you spend half an hour in the lobby trying to figure out how to chat, and when you finally get it, you ask how you can join the game.

50m... that aint low, u wanna fly low u gotta be less than 10

i'd be forced to agree with him. i've had an AI medic bump me when i was hit before when i was about to push the put satchell charge button and it turned into touchoff 2 bombs. not a pretty sight.

Tell that to any RL pilot and see how long it takes before you get smacked upside the head . My point was, it is a tad low for paratrooping.

it just remember me a mission where we sensed take supply truck, replenish them and take them to our base while the other team try the same....

But the briefing was in german/italian and noone would have explain this to me.I see ennemy base, ennemy flag and thinked it was a CTF....

i just filled my own flag/base with mine.... and teammate just died. Stupid heh, but why this time we got plenty of mine in ammo box ?

Mate, no worries, I'm in the airforce, I work on Helicopters. 10m = 30 ft = pretty close to what they actually fly at

Is "n00b" in the gaming community the same attempted insult as "faggot" is in real life ?

I've been out of high school for about 3 years now, but I remember "faggot" was the most widely used insult. Is that still so ?

Well I hope that "n00b" gets dropped soon becasue it's getting quite boring.
