    Also, Im BR 76 and I still occasionally hit E when trying to reload a Lib main gun. It happens.
  2. Midnightmare

    To be fair i rarely leave my vechicles when they flip :p

    I just might as well die right there and respawn near the action :p
    imposed to having to run there
  3. Klondik3

    I guess you recognized yourself in all three counts.
  4. Tekuila

    - Deploying a sundie 2 miles from the base you are trying to take.
  5. LowTechKiller

    And my favorite...
    Reviving downed teammates BEFORE you kill the soldier who's standing a few meters away waiting to kill me again.

    This OP misuses the term 'noob' which is a derogatory term about players who are lame in some way, annoying or otherwise, who may or may not have experience.

    The correct use is 'newb' or 'newbie' which is not a derogatory term and refers to new players who do silly things due to inexperience.
    From time to time, we all 'newb' out sometimes.

  9. qwertyqwerty

    I dont have ammo, I have only mines(engineer)

    I need a medic ( 5-10 meters near sunder)

    ppl that came to vehicle slot and shoot without any reason

    ppl that try repair turret by one face when near zerg of tanks

    solo enemy infils that choose position on towers of YOUR amp station

    enemy noobLA that try destroy yr vehilce in field\ dead-level its the most funny :p

    enemy infil that after taken damage yet stay at place and use invisible))))

  10. Excretus Maximus

    Which never happens.
  11. P4NJ

    That's mostly a bug, sometimes it locks you in place. Happens to me all the time. Also when spawning from a sundy.
  12. Caserion

    shooting terminals...


    WHILE I'M HACKINGE THEM!

    • "MEDIC!!!" Medic guy.
    • "Got any spare ammo?" Engineer guy.
    • HE round "unwanted close support" tanker guy (always there to fire his HE rounds at one enemy in a group of 10 friendlies)
  14. Pikachu

    :D
  15. Oreo202

    Well it usually ends up killing more friendlies than enemies.
  16. Tekuila

    Firing a shell into that one guy and splashing allies doesn't make you a noob, when I do it I am fully aware of what I'm doing and I just don't care.

    No. Even if sunderer bombarded I can avoid it by taking Inf and hear (yes you can hear all around when die) when he deal his shoots and start to reload. Then deploy, instacloack, move from position, take place near tank and wait when he exit to repair (it occure most time even if he take 1 damage) when he going reload weapon). And stop harrasing.
    Second position I see many hundreds time when such TACTIC (not noobish) win fights. Becouse all enemys try kill you. They mass shooting (you are easy spot) but you can avoid all shoots by zig-zag moving and using covers). And your snipers and long range engeneer AV turrets kill many of this enemys. And rusher can fully survived. Sometimes enemy taking good position and while you rushing you give time and rise chances to kill backdoor attackers from your side.
    And so on. Most of post "noobish" on this thread is more "I dont play such". On every "noobish" even veteran player whith exelent game expirionce for all classes - can do such things - for boring, for fun, for aggro enemy (mark themself and using clever tactic to use it against enemy (you know how long you see on map and you can set trap if you moving in easyspot position in building and after your map-marking going off - move to another avoidance position).

    Trust me - I see so many times when infiltrator moving to enemy console, stand near it and not even try hack them. So I preffer destroy enemy console then waiting hours while friendly infiltrator born and go to hack.
    Noobish for me - when infiltrator not using spot darts when Engeneer near him drop for him ammo.
  19. Pikachu

    Must... have the XP! Don't care about enemies! Reviving the soldier as fast as I can will give me XP! Certs!
  20. minimbi

    - surrender can be farmed by snipers, while healing give medic exp and this is main role. It not noobish. Maximum it inattentiveness.
    - it too not noobish. Not all play easy vehicle style. They use shooting for ranging. Noobish only - when you try hitting solo from 1st weapon some tanks or libirators, while your surrender was unspotted and be used by respawn point.
    - HOW THIS IS NOOBISH??? I see many times how such save whole situation. You can die 3-4 times, but if you fix turret you can deal whith 3-4 enemy tank (if you not just outnumbered 48+ vs 4) before them react and kill you, or surrender, or kill some maxes and cowards who use max as shields (not medics or engeener who heal MAX).
    - This is not noobish too. It can be net code of game, best position or another things. He just can aim to you to 1 hit kill, but dont not his luck. If you telling about using invisivility as cover - I never see this. All moving if they recieve damage.
