If you've ever played a online game, especially on team based games, one thing will always haunt you: the dreaded Newbie <insert Jaws music>. These games are just like grade school dodge ball: you pick the best, and shun the rest.

I used to play a crapload of MechAssault, and one very consistent problem was the noob. While many of you may think you are good (70% of you), I'm sorry, your not. Don't bother flaming me, I'm not pointing fingers, and I have a wide definition of a noob (4 on down is a noob in my book), but anyway... Getting stuck on a team with even one, yet alone 3 or 4 really sucks ass, you have to hold their hand, but the game is still considered "fair" because the numbers are even. Halo 2 is sure to attract of lot of these dangerous species.

Anybody have any noob arguments? BRING 'EM ON!!!!!! MWAH HA HA HA!!!!! How 'bout funny experiences, even if not Halo...

Very good point IMO, but it'll also call for some seriously interesting moments in MP as well. I can visualize it; a nOOb on the ground looking up to a few explosive barrels, and me shoving one over with a plasma nade stuck to it. All they do is stand there "Sweet, I didnt know they could" BOOM!
Heh..

But I did remember hearing a rumor that if the host leaves the game will switch to a different host in midgame, so perhaps there'll be a possible mid-game kick option as well.

don't invite the noobs over, keep the games smaller, and practice actually getting good at halo with 2-4 man teams using tournament settings, you'll find your experience is much more enjoyable.

I do play with good people, but it is still fun with noobs. We also bring in even numbers of noobs, or figure out some way of having fair teams (which are literally always stacked against me, since I am the best of my group) The best way to stack the teams so that they aren't stacked (woah, I just confused myself) I usually end up with me, my all-time teammate, my other good friend, and some other person versus about six to eight people, and its fun.

The funniest thing ever though, is getting killed by a N008, not by a rocket launcher, sniper or shotgun, but an assault rifle or something else. It'll be intersting cause I can guarantee all of us are going to get killed by N008's more then once. Don't say you won't because it's going to happen.

Yea, that happens to me on small maps. Then they try to rub it in your face, saying it wasn't luck, or because you were at one health and they spawned behind you, and do a very bad job at it.

Noobs are fun when I'm base storming, I just kill the same guy over and over. And they get pissed. Then they rush and I just jump over them and hit them in the back.
