But at least they're balanced, unlike that quick fire stuff people put on their server to make the turret better. Or the guard towers which totally rape all infantry. GDI is better with jst an AGT and Nod should have the obelisk and 2 normal turrets

The only reason they're balanced is they suck.

The Obelisk and the Advanced Guard Tower are more or less balanced, so two feeble turrets don't upset that balance.

Turrets occasionally get a lucky headshot on an infantry; other than that they do so little damage, and don't even wait to turn before firing so often their opening shot is completely wasted.

They do, the problem is either lag shooting early or look like they misfired when they didn't. They never do this in unlaggy games

59. A complete noob calls you a cheater and you think you're the best player ever because of it.

58. On field, you stand there with your engy right near the turret waiting for the tanks to come rolling back. It never occurs to you to repair the recently battered turret, despite me telling you 3 times (Why should I give up a Rav to repair a turret?). The next attack that comes along destroys said turret. You sir, are a noob


Um, if he is an "engy right near the turret" doesn't that mean he doesn't need to give up his Rave? Btw, I wouldn't give up my Rave to save a turret. Why? If the need to save the turret is that great, GDI is probably pounding away at your base, which means you probably have little to no money. A Raveshaw does a better job of staving away tanks than the one turret. Giving up the Raveshaw not only loses you a better character to help protect the base, but repairing the turret gives them more points anyways, it's just another target. Raveshaw is a better pick.

I feel kinda like an idiot right now, but after rereading his post, I think the "(Why should I give up a Rave to repair a turret)" was Jz "thinking" those words, not the n00b :oops: my argument kind of died now...although I still dont think the turret is worth saving.

5. If you think shooting at the same spot in an open field with an arty for over 30 minutes non-stop will do anything, you might be a noob.



There was some misunderstanding about this so I will explain the event behind this example.

I was up on a cliff taking aim with a Deadeye at an experienced Sakura who had been picking off my team mates (even when they were running) and all of a sudden a GDI soldier came in behind me, opend fire, and instantly made the Sakura aware of my position forcing me to take cover and missing my opportunity for another head shot.

Just to let noobs know... At long ranges in any game and in real life, the best anti-snipers are other snipers, not basic infantry firing at a target almost outside their weapons maximum range.

62. You might be a n00b if you buy a mammoth tank and a havoc and an ion cannon beacon just because they cost so much. I mean that's got to be the best combination, since nothing costs more... :rolleyes:

63. when your team is losing the game, you may be a noob if you say "hey lets kick some A", take a hummvee and standard shotgunner to fight off hoards of tanks and high level soldiers, rush on your own and get destroyed in 2 seconds flat without doing any damage to their team.

64. you deliberately exploit the vehicle bug to get you stuck inside the WF, so you can lay a beacon that noone can ever disarm.

65. you exploit the walls fly defense tower bug to get yourself stuck inside the wall, then sit and pick people off while being invincible to enemy fire.

66. you think the best way to win is to attack from long range with a chemical warrior.

67. you think it's likely you'll succeed in rushing the AGT with chemical warriors.

4. If you think after five failed attampt at a solo tranport helicopter rush that the next one might work, you might be a noob.


Who don't try don't win. If you play on XPZ Marathon server you will notice I may rush 10 times with my APC and don't get anything but I'll keep trying and get something. If you think thats trying is n00b, your da n00b. Ooo now you may think I'm n00b, drop by XPZ server we'll see who is da n00b.

What number are we on? Seventy? Well. . . You might be a n00b if. . .

70) . . .you think putting the maximum(on most maps) of 30 mines in your Obelisk/Advanced Guard Tower is the way to go.
71) . . .you think that the Mammoth Tank can take anything more than two Tanks on its own without falling back.
72) . . .you think the Mammoth Tank is the best Vehicle unit for all purposes in the game.
73) . . .you think the Mammoth Tank has a range greater than that of any other Tank unit when using Slugs or Missiles.
74) . . .you think the Mobile Rocket Launcher System is a weak vehicle because of its speed and light armor.
75) . . .you open fire with any bullet-using or laser-using unit(excluding Raveshaw and Sydney 2), thinking that you can shoot clear across the map even if your reticle is grey.
76) . . .you don't reload between fights.
77) . . .you forget to use the Purchase Terminals between fights if not planting C4s or base raiding.
78) . . .you completely forego the Purchase Terminals in any All-Out-War game.
79) . . .you think the Rocket Soldiers and Gunner work well for destroying Infantry.
80) . . .you think Tiberium Mutant units are entirely useless, particularly against a team of Sydneys and Patchs.(Boy, did that match ever suck.)
81) . . .you don't think the Nod Chameleon is a DAMNED good one-man bombing run vehicle.
82) . . .you can't appreciate the GDI Sedan's speed, if only for running around the map.
83) . . .you call Snipers "cheater" when they regularly spawn-kill you and you can't find them.(This does not apply to Crazy CTF servers where units can and do fly when they get the Flight power-up.)
84) . . .you use Big Bomb, Big Head, Final Renegade, or any combination of these or any other Renegade cheat.
85) . . .you don't use RenGuard. :3

"n00b" isn't an adjective. If you say someone else is n00b [sic], all I hear is you saying that you are stupid.

And who might that be directed towards? Seriously. I'm too lazy to read through the posts. All I know is that I use it as a noun. If I wanted to use it as an adjective, I would use the terms "n00bish," or "n00blike". But that's just me. There's also a less-respectable verb form.("That guy was certain'y n00bing it up last night.") But I digress.

86) you try more than once to sneak behind enemy units and plant a beacon to destroy them.
87) you buy a vehicle while enemy vehicles are all over your airstrip and pounding the living crap out of it

88) someone sets up a mod where everything dies in one shot, and you, as the tech for the game, release ren 1.038 with it incorporated to completely ruin gameplay.

89) you were the one who set up the one-hit-killing mod.
90) you throw mines on the outsides of buildings in the hopes that enemies will brush past and blow themselves up.
91) you single handedly rush over the hill on hourglass with a flamer when they have meds/mammies all set up in defense.
92) you think one land mine in the middle of the field will destroy a full armoured tank.
93) you have the cheek to repair your tank whilst it is getting attacked.

No, but coming the other way when the Sniper is being attacked, its pretty damn good.
