Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

Someone who repeatedly uses "noob" weapons such as the AR, Needler, Concussion Rifle, and spams grenades. Noobs frequently rush into situations, die, respawn, and do the exact same thing that caused their death the last time. Someone who plays Squad Slayer and is bad with the DMR is not a noob. He is trying to get better with a harder to use weapon like the DMR as opposed to the noob which mindlessly rushes with the AR. The poor DMR player is bad, but he has room for improvement and is trying to get better, which in time, he will. The AR noob has nowhere up to go, since the AR has a skill gap of almost zero, and every time he picks up a headshot weapon he dies, giving him an attitude that the AR is supreme. This causes him to avoid the DMR, but still be killed by it often (since it is a superior weapon) so hate it.


Hey who said the AR was a noob gun. It has terrible range, accuracy, power and is hard to use in many scenarios so how is it a noob gun? I agree with the thing about the concussion rifle and needler rifle users being a noob but the Assault rifle isn't a noob gun. It just sucks and is the gun you usually start with. I use it and I do just fine with it but its not my first choice for a weapon but when I have it I use it. Just because you get killed with the AR doesn't mean that person is an AR noob. it may just have been the weapon they had on them at thee time. But I do agree with you about the AR noobs who defend it and think its a superior gun to all the others. But to me that's a rare breed and I personally have never encountered such a person. And if a person sucks when they are using the DMR or needle rifle that doesn't mean they are trying to get better, its probably just because they probably just suck in general and are a noob. they might be trying to get better but that doesn't dismiss the fact that they suck and are still noobs. You are essentially suggesting that the noobs are not noobs if they hold certain guns like the DMR but are noobs if they hold the AR. And also just because someone rushes into a situation just t get killed and does the same thing doesn't mean that they are an AR noob. It just means they are a noob in general. And let me assure you that the DMR is not a hard to use gun. It is quite easy.



I agree on the AR being an all-around crap weapon.

Needler rifle? I hope you mean the needler, because the needler rifle is more akin to the DMR than a noob weapon.

I've encountered many a person who thinks that it's the best gun in the game.

Player A is good with a DMR. (This is me right now)

Player B is bad with a DMR, and he knows it. However, he continues to use it and try to get better, and with enough experience, he steadily improves over time until he is good with the DMR. (This was me 8 months ago)

Player C is bad with a DMR, so he resolves to not use it and instead use the less effective, but easier to use AR. This player knows that he is bad with the weapon, but instead of trying to get better, he will continue to use the AR for all eternity until he stops playing the game, and will always be confused as to how DMR users like Player A kill him so easily. (This has never been me)

See the difference? Player A is good, so by definition not a noob by any means. Player B is striving to get better, so he's not a noob. Player C is a noob because he is not trying to get better, and he will reach the ceiling of the AR's skill range and stay there.

......I'm not even going to argue. It's obvious that your trollingI was just trying to lighten the mood. Its not linked to you in particular its linked to everyone.

I dont think just because if someone uses a AR or needler it makes them a noob. Or that if you use DMR it makes you not a nub.
Certain situations call for certain weapons.

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

There are three people I serve. God, Chuck norris, and Evilcam.

A person who camps, overuses power weapons, and who uses armor lock.

  • 02.12.2012 4:48 PM PDT

person who uses any aa but sprint/evade or kills their guests in rumble pit games to win.

also someone who instead of team shooting someone they think its a better idea to run up and beat down.

People like this that consider every weapon expect the overrated DMR a noob weapon and can't except the fact he hates all other weapons because he gets his ass handed to him by them. MLG want-to-be. By the way the AR also requires skill its called pacing shots

i consider anybody who hates tactics to get a edge, a NOOB like you who hates spam grenades
