Title: Bunch of noobs


Alexander - January 30, 2008 11:38 PM (GMT)
Everyone in my game quit because I use autolock instead of constant head shots, probably just mad cause they suck and can never get head shot on me.

Don't play with Fallen Liquid, hypocrite and a noob.

34/19

How do I blacklist?
Why do people say 0 and what does it mean?

holyclericz - January 31, 2008 02:10 AM (GMT)
Ok firstly , 0 means noob. Like their calling you noob cause you autolock. And theres no fun to autolocking if you keep doing it. You think people suck cause you autolock and shoot them when they're aiming for headshots? Btw you can blacklist only when you searched for the player and selected blacklist, and calling people noob only makes you one.

Alexander - January 31, 2008 02:23 AM (GMT)
Calling people a noob makes you one... I would like to inform you sir that your logic is flawed.

Nero - January 31, 2008 02:38 AM (GMT)
I'm going to have to disagree with you on that Alexander. Calling people a noob definitely makes that person one too since you think your all "hotshot" but he/she is not, and the only reason that person is extremely better than the majority is that you spend most of your time playing it. What do you accomplish when you call other people noob? Nothing, exactly. So that's why calling other people noob just makes you sound like a jackass unless your just making fun of your friends just to mess around.

Alexander - January 31, 2008 02:44 AM (GMT)
First if autolock were cheating, or in anyway unfair do you really think it would be in the game? Secondly, I slaughtered them fair and square, so I can call them whatever I want.

Nero - January 31, 2008 02:47 AM (GMT)
No, no that's not what I mean, I was just simply discussing about the "noob" calling that's it. Autolocking is NOT cheating, it's just something that some people don't like since it doesn't take much skill.

If you beat the other people fair and square then there's no need to be calling people names you know... even if they call you names, that just makes them the idiot not you.

Alexander - January 31, 2008 02:58 AM (GMT)
Great, accidentally hit the switch and got disconnected, now they hate me for sho lmao.

g-fox - January 31, 2008 03:51 AM (GMT)
if you want to put someone on black list then you can select their name while online while in a battle,right before you start one,or when it ends,select thier names and you should be able to click blacklist on it,i haven't done it in awhile so i can't elaborate to much

Alexander - January 31, 2008 03:54 AM (GMT)
Thanks, I'll check that out as soon as I get the chance.

.TheFury. - January 31, 2008 04:41 PM (GMT)
yeah, that's really the only thing that bothers me about MPO, I'll see a room that's not full, but the comment will be like:

no auto-lock/no shottys/no fulton/dont' be a retard/no noobs/bake me a cake HAVE FUN

Just play the game guys. Auto-locking is legit, because you're playing as a soldier that has gone through extensive military training with Big Boss himself. Of COURSE that guy can aim a gun right. And auto-lock isn't perfect, you can get around people or pop a box on or strafe with them and not land any hits.

Crimson Knight - February 5, 2008 12:12 AM (GMT)
THANK YOU Fury! Exactly what I was going to say. I don't understand why people hate Auto-Lock. It's a tool to use in the game, so use it. Strafing, imo, is more effective if done right, but who cares... Just play. Have fun. Make friends. And as far as calling people Noobs, I love you guys. Because I used to be one, too.

Nero - February 5, 2008 02:03 AM (GMT)
^ Yup, yup and yup.

Autolocking is a tactic and yes it is completely fair, but again, does not take much skill. Not that autolocking is a bad thing (at least not always :ph43r: )

Alexander - February 5, 2008 02:28 AM (GMT)
Autolocking is nothing if you can't avoid being shot in the head, that is where the skills lies.

holyclericz - February 5, 2008 08:53 AM (GMT)
So what you're saying is that holding L and square and continuosly moving the analog like crazy has skill to it?

Alexander - February 5, 2008 11:01 AM (GMT)
Strafing: The pressing of either the left or right buttons after positioning your weapon.

Don't fucking get cocky, either method can be easily called whatever name you can think of, each is equelly able, and equelly lethal

.TheFury. - February 5, 2008 06:41 PM (GMT)
In the other MPO, the first one, your life was only 200 max, but the fact that it's 400 max now makes auto-locking half as effective. I was laying claymores and pounding guys with shots, and it takes a long time to pull it off. If someone decides to auto-lock, you have plenty of time to get a headshot on them before you get killed (assuming you have high life). I'm glad that the developers evened that off a bit.

Major Spetnaz - February 5, 2008 07:10 PM (GMT)
Hmm I just thought of a very good reason why auto-locking isn't that cheap.


Once you get good at headshots it isn't that hard. Of course speed is invovled, but those who usually get the headshots are the fast ones.

Then they think there hotshots for doing so, and think that there way is the only way.

There is hardly any diversity in the game because of those who think the only way to play is for headshots.

I mean I get called a noob for using the SAA...which can be difficult at times to use when going for the right angle. You have to also know what surfaces will richeot and which won't.

Autolocking is the part where true MGS comes in. Now listen; if you can sneak up on an enemy you should be able to kill them. But because autolocking is considered cheap, and your suppose to go for headshots....you got jerks who run around in circles until there able to pull a headshot off. But if you could autolock, they wouldn't be able to run around in circles and get that headshot because there being attacked...constantly.

If your truly good at headshots....which some of you think you are, trying killing any enemy autolocking, then you can truly try to master the skill.


(That might be a little confusing, I know....)

Wayno - February 5, 2008 09:08 PM (GMT)
Autolocking isn't the most revered method of killing people. But it's not the cheapest.

Using stealth and a Blade reptetively is the most noobish thing I've come across.

:o Uhhh yeah I got a little confused @_@

But I think I got it. Autolocking doesn't take much skill, but it's not that bad and people don't know how to use other techniques since they don't know how to do them or they just need practice with strafing, or they choose to autolock which is no problem. Pros out there that has a problem with autolocking and complain by saying "0" all the time are noobs.

BigK - February 6, 2008 04:22 AM (GMT)
Why does it matter at all if it requires skill or not guys? Seriously, it's only a game, people are on it to have fun, if they want to use autolock then why does it matter? Does it HONESTLY make the game less fun for others when people autolock?

I just don't think it should matter. *For the record, I use SVD over strife or auto any day.*

Exactly it doesn't matter. It's what I've been saying >_<! Autolocking does not make you noob for using it and it's a game, meaning it's not meant to be taken seriously (I've said this before somehwere...). :ph43r: (<-- this is cool haha).

Oh and BigK using the SVD is good at times, but not all the time :P (Your talking about the Sniper Rifle right :huh: )

Yeah, Sniper, and it IS good all the time........if you know how to use it. :D

Nero - February 6, 2008 06:21 AM (GMT)
I guess it depends where you are. Strafing is still better though!!!

ALSO! Sorry for being off topic, but BigK, in the MPO online names, you got my name wrong :o That's my other forum name dude, my MPO+ name is 1337 MOOP

SolidSnake52 - February 6, 2008 11:53 PM (GMT)
Strafing is not cheating in any way. It is a good tactic for dodging a barrage of bullets. People just call you a n00b because they can't land any shots on you because you are using a strategic strategy. People who camp and use the shotty are just pure n00bs.

Alexander - February 7, 2008 12:57 AM (GMT)
Yup, camping is noob no doubt. I don't think anyone said strafing was cheating, and clearly it's not but I don't know why you mentioned that...

Nero - February 7, 2008 02:10 AM (GMT)
Yup camping is n00b (Unless your guarding your Kerotan! In Team Capture).

Ehh I don't think anyone said strafing was cheating dude. :ph43r:

Alexander - February 7, 2008 08:35 PM (GMT)
Especially camping with tnt, blowing someone up, and shooting them in the head when they are down *cough* hilts, I kicked you for playing dirty, not for winning, in case you don't remember I was like 31/13 that round noob.

one of the top players is fine and dandy but his account hasn't got much playtime on it.

NINJA - February 7, 2008 09:06 PM (GMT)
Haha don't call Hiltz a noob. He's one of the top players D: He fools around in VR

Snake Liquid - February 7, 2008 09:21 PM (GMT)
Camping isn't being "noobish". It's a tactic. Believe it or not, some people stay in one area and can snipe people with assault rifles. Also, if you are stupid enough to continually go to the camper, and he keeps killing you, then why shouldn't he stay there.

You insult people for camping. Others insult you for autolocking. How can you use a tactic that a lot of people say is noobish, and then turn right around and say another tactic is noobish?

I'll autolock. I'll headshot. I'll "camp". It all depends on your style of playing. In my opinion, there isn't anything noobish about games. People play with different styles, and that doesn't make them a noob.

Alexander - February 7, 2008 09:27 PM (GMT)
Fine, I'll settle by saying:

Handguns were disabled becuase I think that being helpless is not only frustrating, but it takes away from everyones gaming experience.

Traps were enabled because I thought snipers would find them useful so that they didn't have to watch their back all the time. I did not however enable it so you ould knock someone one their ass and shoot them in the head.

No one likes being helpless, and I take back what I said about it being noob, and now call it annoying.

P.S: Suck on my smiley :blink:

Major Spetnaz - February 7, 2008 10:30 PM (GMT)
Hey, Im not great at getting headshots, but others are. Dosen't that mean Im helpless when there attacking to.

The only way your helpless, is if someone disables any form of play. People play with different tactics.

Matches with SAA's can be extremely fun to.

This morning, my first match, me and my teamate were struggling after they secured a good posistion on top of the building at the prison. I just leaned against the wall, aimed at the opposing wall pointing at a 50 degree angle, and bam, I got them both in under 20 seconds. One was really mad to.

But when you have multiple people with SAA's its the best. You have to be more aware of your surroundings...and there is hardly any safe spots.

I was playing a match where I had one, and two of my opponents had them. You could almost compare it to sniping, because I was using the SAA to richeot off a wall getting my enemies half the map over.

SAA's just even the playing field for people, like me, who are better with pistols.

(Besides, you get less kills with them anyways...)

Alexander - February 7, 2008 10:34 PM (GMT)
If I'm stuck on the ground for one or two seconds, that means I'm helpless until I can get up, being fully able to move, and do whatever else is not helpless, whether or not someone is using the SAA, you're not help if you're on your feet.

Nero - February 8, 2008 12:27 AM (GMT)
Camping may be a tactic but all it requires is sitting there and waiting. It may be fine when you defending since that's what your obviously supposed to do, but just to camp a hallway is lame. Now I probably am wrong about camping being noob, I take that back, but really now, no skill is involved with sitting and waiting in the same spot the entire match. But of course if your a relatively good player you can kill them easily since you know where they are.

Using TNT and Claymores isn't really dirty, that's like someone saying to me "Your noob if you use Magazines". If you don't want them enabled in the game (if your hosting), you can turn have the item[s] blocked. And before you join games (if you want to be really picky about them), look to see if they have any of the particular items that you don't like are blocked. (BTW you can shoot them you know).

Snake Liquid - February 8, 2008 02:06 AM (GMT)
Agreeably, but some people aren't good at the game, therefore they result to staying in one spot to get kills. Also, there are very few people that actually camp the ENTIRE round. Most people sit in the same spot for awhile, and will eventually move. Also, people that snipe with the SVD usually stay in the same spot for awhile, picking people off. That doesn't mean they are camping.

Besides, I still stick with this philosophy: If you continually go back to the same spot and get killed by the same guy, then he is mearly defending himself and is staying there because he knows you'll return.

yea u went 31-13 after u kicked me , and i was winning <_<

:ph43r:

lol but i dont care, like ninja said, its vr, i love to mess around in vr :lol:

Alexander - February 8, 2008 03:13 AM (GMT)
No the fuck you weren't, it was Killhouse B I remember specifically, you ran up, put the TNT down, blew it up, and finished me of, you did that like 5 times but you weren't winning.

20 DM rounds played, 6 wins.

Not so likely that you were winning in that round my friend, not with those numbers.

Nero - February 8, 2008 03:32 AM (GMT)
Snake Liquid, that's totally right. But of course they are new to the game which I can understand because they are not very good at the game so any place they have a little advantage over you they will camp there. Heck before I used to do that my first time online back when I didn't really know how to straff or anything (but I ended up dying most of the time haha). And of course your right about that too, people that use SVD camp for a bit and then gets going or dies sooner or later. I absolutely understand what you mean Snake Liquid.


Alexander, it's no big deal. Sometimes it is frustrating when people use tactics like that (especially TNT) but you know what, you can live with that just try to outsmart the person (use grenades haha). Besides man there's no need to get pissed over something like that. As I posted before, just block those items if your hosting a game if you don't want them to be used.

Alexander - February 8, 2008 03:34 AM (GMT)
Yup, thats exactly what I do now, no traps, equipment, throwing weapons, heavy weapons, handguns, or knives.

I've pretty much left no room for "dirty" tactics.

EDIT: Hilts = bitch.

So? Traps like that are both hilarious and fun. How is it dirty?

I think this whole topic is kinda dumb. Noobs are people that are just learning the game and because of that, they suck. Noobs are not people that have mastered strafing, people who camp, use auto-lock, use magazines, TNT, whatever. MPO+ gives the player tools to use on the battlefield and it's up to the player to use those tools the best way he can to win. Stealth? It blows, imo but if the host allows it, use it!

Players are going to start hating and not wanting to play other people if all they think about is how "cheap" someone is. If you got killed, you got killed. Pick up, get better, move on. It's a GAME guys.
