"When does a NOOB Grow up ?"


When you are efficient in every aspect of the battlefield, ground & sky.

When the only things in the game they complain about are the J10 and Gheymores.

Everything else only a real n00b cannot defeat.

I expect anyone who is 1st Sgt. or above to be competent at all aspects of the game.

Tough call, because you have your average player, gamer, and finally the n00b. Each of em has a learning curve and it make take time for the average player to equal the typical gamer, but the true n00b....the amount of time and experince is stagnant, so making the next rank will not guarantee a smart player.

I can fly choppers.

Anyone can fly choppers.

Flying them well is a different matter...

You are correct sir   +1

I've gotten to the point where I use choppers and even the occasional jet to fly TO a destination then Bail-out to get a flag.  To the poster who said a 1st Sgt should be proficient in all aspect of the game, I disagree.  If someone such as myself has ZERO flying experience in any game learning to fly is difficult.

Agreed.

It's like driving a tank. Anyone can drive a tank. Using a tank effectively is a different matter.

I can't fly effectively. Therefore I don't fly (though, I must admit, I too have occasionally jumped in a chopper/jet and then bailed over a distant flag on the odd occasion).

That doesn't make me a noob. Quite the opposite in fact.

at seargent i think they have the hang of the game, realize that they will not survive being run over by a humvee, dont try and revive enemies, and dont charge tanks with knices. (usually)

I reckon gunnery Sgt, as that is the first time you actually have to work towards your next rank.  A true noob would give up and go back to CS:S

This is my 1st online game ever and still don't know what a noob is but if someone is placing cars ,themselves, c4 ,at mines on the runway as I take off I call them a fucking jerkoff!

I'm old school and noob sounds like the gayest fucking term i've ever heard!

I was a right noob up until Sargeant. Tk's, force tks, vehicle stealing, camping, vehicle ramming, jeep jihadding. You name it, I did it, but one day I just 'mellowed' out, and played fair. I still play fair now, but have the odd day of 'rogue noob' in me. The pre 1.2 days were good days.

Ranks have no influence on their skill level.

How many generals are out there that have padded the entire way up there?  More than a few.
How many people sit in commander and go away for the round?  More than a few.
How many people sit in a jet and bomb the carrier round after round after round?  More than a few.
