<div class="IPBDescription">well</div> I had my brother's friend try NS. He has also played CS with my brother. After a while of playing, you won't believe the nonsense he said...or at least I hope it was nonsense.
"These people <b>aren't as nice as the people in CS to new people,</b> like me."
If this is true what is becoming of the NS community?
I can't believe what I heard <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

i hate cs...
ns is way more nubflake friendly... nuff said
When I first read that I was thinking about typing something nasty.
And then I realized how true it is. We as an NS community should be nicer to the newer players. For example, if a team loses a game of NS, it's always "OMG newb (name) dropped X chamber first and then went onos and screwed us over" or "our comm was so noob he needs skills".
But yeah...what is becoming of our beloved community that I joined about 1.5 years ago? So kind to new players... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I think it depends on the server you are playing on, some servers are filled to the brim rectal headgear of all kinds. However some servers are very noob friendly.
It's sad to me that what chamber a team has can still ruin the game, let us all join hands and pray for true balance in short order.
By the by I hope people are more willing to adopt a new player and help them through while you are playing with them. I believe that is called "the rub".

To be fair, we are nice to most new players... But if you come around your average NS server using flagrant leet speak and CS jargon, most NSer's will flame you in a second. We try to be open, but due to the massive learning curve nature of the game, many NS players are extreamly elitist.
Scoot, Is that a Yoshi?
Though I do find CS can be as rude when the new player has the bomb. The hate only lasts about a min, in NS the hate lasts for about 15 mins. Big difference.

Very true.
NS is a game in which teamwork is very, very important, especially on marines. Longtime CSer's tend to forget that teamwork is actually applicable over the intarweb.
why they didnt get a nice warm welcome?
ask themselves.
arent people supposed to read the manual, know the rules and learn a bit, at lease, before playing?
Every pub server has a bunch of regulars who think of themselves as good players
most of the time, its when one (or more) of these players lose, they will almost INSTANTLY find someone to blame for it, and it's usually the nub.
not to say that the nub doesn't deserve it, most of the time he does forget to build stuff. but a lot of people would rather blame someone than take responsibility for a loss.
there really aren't people who are just out to heckle newbies. most of the time it's these kind of people.

That's why I like lunix monster... The majority of those guys have been banned.
ns players will go out of their way to belittle and insult a new player while screaming about how banned they are going to be
it's sad, really
But I have certainly seen large groups of players really let new players have it.
I'm not sure what can be done about this...

so..you think that is different in the NS average pub? honestly?
I remember my first games....hell was that stressfull!
Problem is, either the pubs player base is consisting of decent players, in which case
they tend to look down on newcomers or even harrass them. I 've seen newbies threatened with ban because they still were named NSplayer.....
The other extreme is the average pup next door where an astounding amount of f****sticks are hanging around and vent their 1337ness on new players.
The outcome is the same on most occasions. The behavior is just different, yet noobs are noobs and treated as such.
Need some sort of single player training session. Dont allow new players to play multiplayer untill they have completed it. Personaly I could careless if they could shoot, they need to know how the game works! Much like when you first start to play HL 1. Keep it informational not so much about shooting, BH or scripting.

I'm not so sure of that...
Reg stacking isn't exactly a rare occurance on LM <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
however in about 1/2 of the ns games i play, there's someone who doesnt know how to play the game, and someone will start bashing him. it's pretty sad to watch, even though i admit i've been guilty of the same thing manymany times. =/ hawthorne is right, it's usually about blaming someone else for the loss.
