l Udenwo l, I suggest you may want to edit out some of your post. Excessively using words like "-blam!-" or "noob" don't score you any points, as moderators dislike it. Those words should be exclusive to preschools since the way they are used doesn't match the dictionary definition or are too stupid to be there in the first place.
I think that "noob friendly" games are awesome. If someone becomes desperate to win at a lan and uses all the cheap tactics to win and refuses to play for fun I've got strategies to ruin it for them too...
Slayer: Hide. Your enemy will have no idea where the hell you are and nothing to shoot at, making it boring for him.
Capture the flag/odd ball/territories/king of the hill: Hide. He will be constantly getting your flag/the ball/more territories or just standing in the hill with no opposition, making it boring for him.
If all else fails I just repetitively suicide or - go in and beat them up, if they are a great player the chances are they're weak and geeky in real life (THE BENEFIT OF LAN OVER XBL!) When microsoft offers a xbl service that allows you to use your physical strength to beat up other players, I'm signing up.
Until then, we'll continue to see how many awesome suicides we can achieve... me and a friend spent ages on terminal driving vehicles onto the tracks and getting hit. That has to be one of the greatest parts of my experience in halo2. So that gives you an interesting insite of what me and my friends do to get fun out of gaming. It sounds stupid, but in my opinion its better than playing online and fighting over rank.
I only know one guy in real life who has xbl, and I never see him. Hes this random muslim/american/new zealander guy. When he comes over he tells us all that crazy jargon like: "playlists" or "match making" and other things that continue to mystify me and my friends because theres always something on b.net like "PLAYLIST UPDATE!" but they never say what the hell a playlist is! I just googled (halo2 "what is a playlist") and only found one site (g4tv.com or something - probably some dirty porno/virus site, "g4tv" isn't very descriptive, and I'm running service pack1 anyway)
Well thats life without live - as irralavent as it seems :) I can easily claim that skill vs stupidity fits under the topic of h1 vs h2, not that anyone can do anything about my post. Then again this is a "your preferences please" thread, my bottom line is that any stupid game is fun for me, I don't have to play serious...
Noob friendly games rock!
