    Icon10 No Noobs?

    Is anyone else tired of hosting a battle with the title "No Noobs" only to find after the battle starts that you are fighting total noobs who don't know that mortars are fixed, or even worse, they don't know how to umlimber art so it will fire.

    Then please read below, I have a solution that that is 100% guarantied to work. Backed by a full Hemorroid warranty.

    Heres what yuo do, for example purposes, I will assume that you are hosting a unranked 3vs3 with some friends.

    Wait untill the game fills up, then when the last person to enter asks the rules, simply say "no rules" and at the samae time you and your friends all switch to Russia. In a few seconds you will see most, if not all of your opponents leave. Yes, these were the noobs who still think 20lber unicorns are over powered. Any of the guys who stay and just say "lol" are not noobs, and have pleyed enough to know how weak Russia really is. Simply repeat the process untill no ont drops, then you can enjoy a good fight.

    This works, I've used it every battle and have yet to face a noob, don't beleive me? give it a try!

    What I do to find out noobness of players pre-battle:
    Open Steam, select "View Players"; open the Steam profile pages of the players that have joined your game, it shows their playing time on NTW.
    You can ask to leave or kick if below your desired minimum.

    It's only a rough indicator, but you will be able to avoid people learning how to select units and trying out what all the buttons do.

    But many players have their profile set to "private" or "have not yet set up profile" and I have played some really good players who havn't bothered to join the steam community

    heheh, mass effect 2 was a bit annoying because of how closed in it was.. I liked the open feel of the first one much more. storyline-wise it was better but w/e. Also, if i just started, how would i know that russia had OPed units? IS IT JUST SOME KIND OF SIXTH SENSE?!
    Oh and btw, i love russia now, I love charging into ppl so much. I dunno why.

    I would be honored to be in the Gods clan, by all accounts it seems to be a honorable and worthy group. And I can think of no pressing engagements at this time, however I will direct you to my secretary in the future if something comes up.

    Well the Hemorroid clan has show the world how powerful unicorns are. Also noobs seem to have a big problem with long range art because they mostly camp and spam light inf (ineffectively) Trust me, and try this out. You will see that it works perfect. plus most noobs have played the campaign first and have played the Russians. The ai uses art much better then othr units, thus givving the illusion of a powerfun unit.

    U will be waiting a long time doing this MH

    I cant remember the last game i played where a noob wasnt involved

    instead a of a ranking system MP should be split into groups - Everyone should start in Group 1 and only after 20 games of actually moving units around should you be eligible to move on to group 2. After 20 battles If you have retreated more in games than advanced you move on to special group 3. Hmmmmm for those in this group - Group 2 players can spectate these matches when it gets very boring waiting for MP games. as a novilty it might be entertaining watching both players retreating. After 2 consecutive games or a total of 10 games of playing and not moving - the game should automatically uninstall and the serial number locked.

    a bit exxtreme but i reckon it could work, because the players online would have no choice but to try and improve, instead of the same tactics over and over again
