This question came to me when I was in game, and heard someone calling someone else a n00b. Being a n00b/newbie/newbian/llama (wutever label you want) myself, I was wondering, what is your definition of a n00b/newbie? Is it in the way they act, or play?? I'm just curious

1) Has no idea what the controls are for the game
2) Has no idea what the commands are for the game (ex. How to build an sg)
3) Spams teammates for no reason, then takes all the grande bags and does it again
4) Runs around with a railgun out shooting like crazy and expecting to end with a 50-0 K/D ratio
5) Anybody who didn't bother to change their name when they got the game from Player or unnamed

Gezz I guess all player were perfect to start with, RIGHT.

I always thought that it was someone new to the game and simply did not know better. After hes played a while he gets to learn what and when to do it, not perfect like some here are or think they are that responded to this thread.

Well that about sums it up . JK man.

Someone who is new to the game, asking about how to work controls. Like Bobins a few months ago. "Someone who someday has the ability to become a great Villun".

This is how to change your name:
Enter the console by pressing the key above TAB

My definition: for me, calling someone a newbie does not mean any disrespect, it's like a synonym for amateur or rookie. a Newbie is someone who doesn't know the game, or is like a Firearms veteran that has never played any other mod and needs to know the controls, tactics, etc.

However...when i call someone a n00b that's a synonym for llama. At least from my perspective.
