BF2S Forums Ignorance/stupidity of players

I think people just like the word noob, well that and demoralizing ppl they don't know to boost their ego. I got into it once with a guy that called me noob and I couldn't figure out why. I was chasing him down on oman at the constr. site and it looked like he was running for the apc so I ran around the little fence next to it to get some cover while I shot missiles at it and for some reason he went prone behind the fence and shot me as I rounded the corner. He startled me so I shot and missed since I was carrying a sraw expecting to shoot an apc. So he called me a noob... It corelates to your story sorta since I said wtf, how am I noob when I outrank you and you killed me 1 time? Some ppl just love pissing other ppl off.

LOL.... a friend of mine ( madwizard ) runs around w/ the grenade launcher blasting anything thats red and moves just to get people to call him a noob he gets a kick out of pissing off the compitition....lol

Yup, and that's dangerous, since you never know who's an admin until you get punished...Nothing's more dangerous, I find, than an undercover admin...

jihad jeeping, is that what its called.

i find that people dont insult you based on your rank.  strange because everyone around is gunnery or better.  i find people base your ability and expectations on your actions not your rank.

tho, ive seen some really dumb Pvt1st's who drop beside me to cap a flag, turn to face me, shit their pants and TK me. i shout "Watch it numbnuts!" into the mic and the dumbasses barely ever say sorry. 
thats ok, ive done that before, forgive.

i remember there was a guy in an APC i ran into while i was driving some people in another one. i shot at his APC and he jumped out and killed this other guy. just as he was jumping out i fire the missle and it blows up his APC. 'shame jafa u noob' he says. unfortunately because he was typing he wasnt going anywhere so i fired one shot and killed him. 'FUCK OFF JAFA U DRITY FUCKIN NOOB' he says. i say 'its the point of the game to kill each other bro, deal with it'. he then left the server. moron.

for the record... I hate the word noob. I can't use it myself without feeling like I'm 11 or 12 years old. I also don't understand what it means when someone uses the characters 'pwning' and I find it very annoying when I'm reading a thread and it says "do so and so you you will own." Own what exactly?

perhaps I'm showing my age (the ripe old age of 26). I dunno. All I know is don't mess with me, I own.

As far as stupidity of other players go, I have to say that it grinds my gears when some guy on your team who is 5 feet in front of you hops ina truck and drives away by himself when me and my squad try to get in and end up having to walk 10 minutes.  Anyone else get pissed off by this?

they have done right by kicking your friend. i can't stand GL whores.

What really pisses me off are those guys who tk you just because you scratched (not tked) them a bit in close combat when they pop up just around the corner. I usually express my regret when doing wrong but i had aguy today who killed me for a flesh wound (I patched it up as a medic too) AFTER i appologised.
Also really annoying: Those Jhihadist SpecOps; run into your group just to blow everyone up (including themselfes). Best thing you can do is shoot at him - at least you get a damage assist.

Only beginner's behaviour but seen freuqently: You rush towards an enemy base far behind the enemy's frontline in a jeep, using the terretory to mask your cautious movments and the dumb f* at the machinegun blasts away for no reason at all.
For all of you who like to do this: This behavour is more likely to get you killed. This...
a) draws the enemy's attention to you
b) will cause the driver (jeep) to take evasive action (jeep) and thereby is more likely to cause an accindent or
c) cause the driver (APC) to stop and look for the threat what makes enemy air attacks more dangerous.

SO only shoot at identified/likely targets - not at every leaf you deem threatening! :-)

Note: Firing "salutes" is quite okay at the end of around which is pretty well won. I can distinguish joy from stupidity.

You seem to have misunderstood.  ronin said that madwizard "gets a kick out of" getting people mad, not that he gets kicked from the server.

Yep, I think it's your age  ... 26 years old and playing computer games . However, I'm 44 years old and play the same game. I too hate the word 'noob' , 'pwning' and the like, I won't use them or react to them as they mean absolutely nothing to me... but if they do start with their crap, I'll find them and ... erm, shoot them, it's all part of the game

same here (34); Didn't know there was a difference until now (ex. newb,n00b, newbie); don't like when ppl call other n00b because to me its a new person learning the game.  People get mad a someone for shooting them and then do the same thing to others. Isnt' this what the game is about....shooting each other..

Well, my worst thing: people who hang in front of your plane, waiting for you to run over them, just because they didn't get the plane, they are such a**holes since they didn't get a vehicle, then they punish (if it's activated)
