Attention all COD4 noobs: Please Read

This happens to me so often it is mind numbing. When you are playing team deathmatch, and the score is dangerously close, and the game is about to end or the max score is about to be reached, if your kill/death ratio is anything lower than 1.0, GO HIDE IN A CORNER FOR GOD'S SAKE.

I cannot tell you how many times this has happened to me. The score is 700-700 or something close like that, and all these stupid noobs who have like 5 kills and 13 deaths continue to go charging out into the open to feed the other team kills. Here is a piece of advice: if the game is close, and your kill/death ratio is something horrendous like 0.5 or even lower, GO SIT IN A CORNER. HIDE.Why would you think you are going to save the game at the last minute when you've been doing horrible the whole time?

If you find yourself in a very close match, stop and look at your score for a second. If you have twice as many deaths as you do kills, you need to do your team a favor and either leave or go hide somwhere. Thank you

maybe u should get a blue-tooth and tell them in game
i dont think anyone on this site will take your words to heart.......

Here's a piece of my advice: It's only a game. Get over yourself and welcome yourself back to reality. Because, yeah, "Nothing is a greater representation of your character like a K/D ratio". I would suggest you get a breath of fresh air and a hobby if it bothers you this much.

so, you are saying, noobs suck and should quit playing lol. everyone forgets they where a noob once.

Dude, just use a silenced m4 carbine... That weapon... Got me to tenth prestige in less than 2 months... Awwwweeeesome.

So what happens if they keep it up and your team loses? Does someone come and repo your car? Evict you from your dwelling? Fire you from your job? No? So in other words, you just lose some game on an online service, and some stupid number next to or underneath your name may go down a little bit.

Wow, end of the world, for sure. :|

or...maybe I should just learn from my mistakes and practice...

I commend your efforts TC, I hate doing well then some moron rushes to his death repeatedly. Sure score is not everything, but some people should stick to free-for-all because they seriously hamper the team experience. This happens all the time, a few games with 3 kills and 22 deaths would make me never ever play the game again, but some people just don't mind being horrible and dragging down their team. It's just simple consideration to at least put forth some effort to not guarantee your otherwise good team a loss.

No.

No.

Maybe not. But I think it might deserve some "credit" for the fact he didn't just dig his hole deeper. Usually, people that post this kind of crap pop a blood vessel and fly off the handle for no reason. But, with this response. Chances are, he probably knows we're right:P

you're telling a large portion of the game's community to stop playing the game. Great idea buddy.JK731

Thank you sir, for understanding.

And to everyone else who pretty much said "Stop whining it's just a game", can I not come to Gamespot to express my frustration?

Is it not legitimate good advice to suggest that a person with 4 kills and 20 deaths hang back at the end of a very close game?

Yes I understand it is just a video game, but it is still COMPETITION nonetheless. I play team death match to win. I do not play to lose or to just go and screw around. I am not an intensely competitive person, but I do not enjoy losing, especially when that loss is the direct result of horrible players who cannot chill for 15 seconds at the end of a close match. Is that so wrong?

This is quite lame honestly. Why would you tell someone how to play after all, they paid for the game just like you. Everyone likes winning but winning is not everything.MrKlowny

That's always been my main argument when I see people dictate others on how they should play or how good they should be. If people take games too seriously, it's their own problem and I don't have to pay for it. If they want to be competitive, they just have to enroll in competitions and become pro players.

The 70-80$ I pay for a game give me the right to do whatever the hell I want with my game.

Absolutely. But don't expect the whole community to agree with you. When you post on public forums, you're bound to be criticized one way or the other.

I consider myself not a 'noob' at Call of Duty yet I always have bad games every now and then, like everyone does. K/D ratio means nothing,Adziboy

You don't win anything:roll: It's just for fun. Once you realize that, life becomes easier.

As for your "I don't enjoy losing" comment. Then don't play. Everybody loses at everything and it's how you learn. If you can't handle it, then you shouldn't be around it. Simple as that. I've also heard (and seen) a lot about this "horrible players" claim. That's just a common case of "everybody sucks but you" and "you alone can never lose. It's always someone else's fault"

The only thing you should be angry about are team killers. If you lose, you lose. Who cares? Life goes on. It's not like it's anything "real".

Just a game :P

You are seriously misinterpreting the point of this thread, mister high and mighty. I can handle losing. It happens. I never said ANYTHING to the effect of 'everyone sucks but me'. I acknwoledged that I have bad games. I also mentioned, importantly, that when I have bad games I try to slow my pace down so as to not contribute to the loss.

Is it really a crime to suggest that people with an extremely low score adjust their strategy if the game is close? I don't think so.

The noobs are on the defensive, it's a little scarier here because at least they will try to win the debate, unlike the matches. :P

But seriously is it really out of line to ask for a bit of consideration in a TEAM game? I know when I am playing horribly I lay back for a sec so I'm not the one who causes the team to lose. When one plays a competitive multiplayer game winning should at least be a little important, why play something just to lose and not even try to improve? That is pathetic for lack of a better word. Even the greatest players are not above taking advice.

Just pointing out what's common around here:P

Wow buddy. I'm not trying to be anyone's COD4 coach or take over their life, I'm just pointing out a simple fact. If you are overwhelmingly contributing to the other team's score, you need to think about slowing it down and adjust your strategy. "I paid my $60 for my game, so that gives me the right to go online and throw matches and completely disregard my teammates games" Really?dirtydishko2

Most certainly!

Let's be logical: nobody pays a game 70$ for the sole purpose of ruining other gamers' fun. What I say is when you buy a game, not only do you have the right to play it the way you want (whether competitive players like it or not) with your own, lonewolf strategies, you also have the right to suck at the game.

Because the noobs you're talking about are not automatically douche bags bent on ruining your gaming sessions, you know? So what should players who aren't that good do not to infuriate competitive players? Sell their game?

I agree with the TC. I have no life so i must take this game serious(lololol). It really infuriates..err fustrates me when its a tie game and then people always tend to rush out with like 10 seconds left then my team loses. but it's all good.

I feel you, but it's not something to get this angry about :lol:

maybe some people just dont care and play for FUN. You hardcore players are WAY too serious. I dont care if i die 1000 time. I am going to run around and have some fun. Im sorry i am not some uber COD professional or milatary wanna-be. Make a private match and invite your hard-core buddies and leave us alone.

I love rushing out and dying on purpose. Better hope I'm not on your team. :P

This happens to me so often it is mind numbing. When you are playing team deathmatch, and the score is dangerously close, and the game is about to end or the max score is about to be reached, if your kill/death ratio is anything lower than 1.0, GO HIDE IN A CORNER FOR GOD'S SAKE.

I cannot tell you how many times this has happened to me. The score is 700-700 or something close like that, and all these stupid noobs who have like 5 kills and 13 deaths continue to go charging out into the open to feed the other team kills.

IMA GROWN ASS MAN ILL DO WHAT I WANT!!
