"A life lived for others is the only life worth living" - Albert Einstein

"I have your RCON right here." - Iggwilv

"Always my pleasure to be lazy." - InvasionImminent

Well, I was on Halo PC earlier and while I was playing a snipers match on Rat Race, a guy called me a noob after killing him. That's normal on FPS games. People get mad because you're beating them and want to make themselves feel better by saying it's you that sucks. That's not the weird thing in this story, though. The weird thing is that he called me a noob for beating him down... As anyone knows, beating down people on Halo PC is pretty hard compared to many other FPS games seeing as though you have to lead it. So, I'm wondering, how could anyone in their right mind possibly think that's noobish?

Anyways, point of this thread is to list the weirdest reasons for being called a noob, a hacker, or any such thing while playing Halo PC.

I know it's human nature, I made a thread to have a laugh at my story/hear other stories. Not a serious thread by any means

I know, I know, this isn't meant to just be about what happened with me, tell us about a time where someone called you a noob for something ridiculous. I want to hear some stories. xD

  • 04.10.2011 8:58 AM PDT

Something smells fishy...

I don't really have any stories but I know that people sometimes say mean things while playing Halo.

I guess I could just say what people have called me:
1) noob
2) a sucky player
3) bawt
4) you're awful man

It is in human nature to complain about everything bad that happens. People find it difficult to believe that they been bested in a match and to protect their own pride/ego, they resort to the usual insults.

As for Jacob, he created a new account to continue trolling on the Halo 2 forum. If you stop by, you can easily pick out his "new" account based on his rantings.

I just have a good connection and I don't suck at the game.

Jacob is just as much entitled to his opinions as anyone else is. This is a forum after all right?

I am too. In fact, I was just in a match where I was accused of it. I ended up turning it into teaching them how to lead shots. It was a lesson on how the netcode works on Halo PC in difference to most games where all you have to do is aim for the head. It was pretty nice.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

I get called a noob for using the pistol. Usually, it's some kid trying to AR rush me Halo 3 style.

No personal offence intended, but I really really hate when people resort to the old "he's/I'm entitled to his/my opinion" excuse; yes, people are entitled to opinions, But when others use the term it to disguise bashful behaviour or "trolling" it just becomes pathetic

Oh yes, forums are used to discuss ideas, plan matches, chat, troubleshoot, etc. They are not supposed to be used for insults, flame wars, intimation, bashing trolling...

I wish the forum moderators were stricter on this forum

I am a very average player on Halo PC, but I can swipe snipe like a boss and it will freak people out that I am not very good but can have some amazing shots. I have been called a cheater before.

Rules for Halo 200bs at BNET:

1. Everyone must agree with you
2. If someone doesn't, abuse the report button.

Keep in mind, they forgot this was a public message board.

He'll most likely get another ban (his old account is up and running now) anyways.

As for the Jacob situation, he's just as much entitled to his opinion, but, it has gotten to a point where there isn't a single thread posted about Halo 2 that he doesn't harass Halo 2 fans. It's just that he goes a step too far with things. That's just my opinion, anyways.

OT: I just remembered earlier of a story from a while back. Some guy accused me of hacking and the rest of the people on the server seemed to have more intelligence than they do now. They all asked why he thought I was hacking. He replied with "He has to be hacking if he's beating me while I'm using an aimbot!" He got banned right after everyone was down rolling around holding their sides. xD

In my opinion internet harassment usually involves the harasser being able to follow the victim almost anywhere. I guess Jacob kind of harasses H2V fans. But I wouldn't go as far to classify what he does as harassment. Reason being that he most likely cannot consistently say negative things about H2V fans anywhere besides public internet forums. He most likely cannot possibly follow H2V fans every single place they go on the internet or in person. Therefore his negative opinions do not follow H2V fans every where.

I recognize the argument that the internet is accessible almost every where therefore H2V fans are harassed by him every where. But considering that his posts are usually confined to internet forums there are therefore many other places to go without encountering him.

I would say there's no doubt he's very persistent in giving his opinion on H2V. He definitely paints the game in a negative light.

In the end you don't even have to read his posts and be offended by them. You decide what you want to be offended by. Just like they say "pick and choose your battles" you can pick and choose what you are offended by.

I mean c'mon are you truly offended by his posts? Does H2V really matter that much to you or anyone?

Definition of Harass: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/harass

It's not my intention to offend you in anyway. Please forgive me if I do indeed offend you (I'm being genuine).

On Topic:

People are mean when playing games. Many times they don't hold back. For example I was accused of, you know, botting like pretty much everyone. But ofcourse I do not bot nor have I ever botted. And I never will.

All skill baby!

Lol:)

I'm not offended by it at all, I understand.

If you look at the definition you posted, it's exactly what he's doing. Here's the definition straight from the link

"ha·rass
transitive verb
1
a : exhaust, fatigue b (1) : to annoy persistently (2) : to create an unpleasant or hostile situation for especially by uninvited and unwelcome verbal or physical conduct"

I put verbal in bold print to show that it doesn't have to be in real life to be harassment. (Just as a bit of a disclaimer, the only thing I have against Jacob is the trolling of Halo 2 posts. Other than that, he's a good guy.)

Anyways, back on topic: I know people are mean on the Internet, I know people say stupid stuff when they're losing, I get that. This thread is meant to poke fun at the times that got you laughing the hardest because of it. I'm not here to complain about it as though it's a problem. I've been gaming online for quite some time now and I understand how it works.

Most of the time when I'm called a botter I just sit back, laugh, and tell them that I've been playing Halo: Combat Evolved since 2001. That I have too much respect for the game and its creator to ever use hacks on it. Then I offer help on how to play. :D

You're right about the fact that he is "annoying persistently" and that he's "creating an unpleasant or hostile situation."

For some reason I thought harassing behavior required some sort of repetitiveness and constancy. But now I'm not sure if it does.

I think you're correct on this one.

Sometimes I look back on my posts and wonder what I was thinking.

Back on topic: The weirdest reason someone called me a noob is when I survived a direct rocket blast by taking an overshield. The other guy was like OMGWTFHAX!!!

Fun fact: You can melee a rocket to survive a direct rocket blast.
