Noobies Guide to MOH
 

This is taken from =|NaA|= LTC Chili Palmer's post on the No Assholes Allowed forum, it's a great source and all you new entrants into Medal of Honor...

Below is the list of HEY NOOB rules that I have posted in rcon at one time or another. Chili's unofficial HEY NOOB!! rules

For the newcomer to MOHAA, or for the casual player, these general rules will help you survive the game.
MUCH More importantly, they HELP ME SURVIVE HAVING YOU AROUND ON MY TEAM!!!

Rule #1: if you see a teammate camped in front of a door: do not open it!!!!! (sounds of grenades bouncing off the other side can be heard clearly!!!) This is especially true when his back is too the door!!!
You open it and run, the nade kills me before i can move.

Rule #2: do not follow anybody closer than about 10 feet (game feet). The closer you are the easier it is to kill you all!

Rule #3: don’t stand in the open doorway!!!!!!...you block the guys behind you and open doors are nade magnets!!!

Rule #4: shut your eyes: stopping moving, and listen!!!!!!!!! You can hear a lot if you try.

Rule #5: do not follow me...ever!!! It is much more likely that you will get me killed than it is that I will save your ass.
Rule 5a: if I am following you; its better than 70-30 that your death will be avenged!

Rule #6: if you break rule 5, remember, if I suddenly turn back and run away...run!!!! I run from no gun..its a friggin nade!!! Have a backwards key..know where it is...use it often!!!!

Rule#7: if you see four guys huddled in an open doorway...run away (see rule #3), you will soon have your choice of health packs and weapons.

Rule #8: if you see your teammate running with a cocked nade in their hands...do not throw nades past them..one or both of you will surely die!!!

Rule #9: never snipe with a shotty!!!! Get close fast and blast.

Rule #10: any gun is a noob gun in the hands of a noob. Use whatever your most comfortable with.
The longer you survive, the faster you learn to play well
any lamers who bitch about the gun you use hunt down and kill first!!!

Rule #12: standing still out in the open is guaranteed to draw fire...move, duck, hide, run, cower behind something, whatever.
Rule 12b: if you draw fire, i usually get killed by accident, I don’t like that.

Rule #13: stop to type and you die!!!

Rule #14: the biggest pussy noobs taunt the most, unbind your message keys...only speak when you’re dead!

Rule#15: cheaters get lots of kills...but they never learn to play well, they always get caught..and soon enough you run out of places where you’re welcome to play.

Rule #16: try to find servers where everyone is about equal in skill...it sucks getting owned by everyone.

Rule 17: if you enter a room with more than one enemy in it, always always always shoot the guy with the gun first!! Even if he hasn’t seen you yet!!! (Especially if he hasn’t seen you yet!!!). If they all have guns..shoot he guy with the biggest gun first!

Rule 18: reload often...and always retreat to a safe place to do it...nothing sucks more than running into a room full of enemies with one bullet in your clip.

Rule 19: look everywhere all the time..there is always someone coming up behind you!

Rule 20: remember the objective...you may survive and still lose!!!!

EDIT: There. Everyone happy campers now? Caps suck. I even fixed your spelling mistakes...

Did you have to type in all caps, you fucking potzer?

maybe if u read it u will see i copy pasted it, i didnt put it in all caps and i didnt want to take the time to convert every single letter

You should have.

I love Innoxx.

if it bothers u that much, u do it and re post it, otherwise, shut up, im doing this to help out, not to get flamed by annoyin little twirps

Wrong answer.

By the way did the copy and paste have line 11 it seems that it is missing by way some good stuff thier for all to read and remmber we all were noobs
once, lol

Did you even read it? It's pretty good. If you didn't read it, why are you in this thread? And why bother posting garbage?

Rule 5 and 5a are awesome. LMFAO

boy... that guide sucks the dick

hehe u can thank chili palmer for that 1, obviously he cant count ;)

Thx for the info, as a COMPLETE beginner to the game it is nice to have a few pointers.

The best was of playing the game (choice of weapons, assigned keys etc) I s'pose will be learnt thru just playin' it.

here this guy who knows what he is talking about ..does a post for teh good of all new ppl and you flame him ...yeah ..thats cool ...and i see you out there doing what for the game ........oh thats right YOUR TO BUSY IN HERE FLAMEING SOMEONE WHO GIVES A DAMN...quit being a waste of cyber space and do somthin good for the game

Flagg

Useful info or not it is written in a very disparaging and patronising way.

If I were a newbie that would turn me off before I got past the 2nd rule.

Advice to people who want to give advice that they want people to take seriously: Do it nicely.

Agreed. I'm sure the initial intent was good, but the delivery of the info was poor.

I'd compile my own list, but I suck, so I'd just get you killed. biggrin:

ok, to make all you oh-so-cool internet people happy, i will repost it with my own cleaner version ed:

Don't bother, someone will criticize that one as well. Thats just the way it is around here.

Unfortunately, this is true.

It's true of most forums I've been a part of. Not all, but most.

Everyone's a critic, as the saying goes.

To get my critisism you must pay.

I used to come here all the time but now since I don't play the game daily and in some ways have moved on to some new games I seldom do. I see nothing has changed.

While I do respect Zoner91 as someone who's been around the block a few times and especially like his signatures, I do politely disagree with the comment that most forums are like this one. When I was playing this game daily, I looked for some other sites just because I got tired of what was on this one and found many that treated people with respect consistently. That's not to say there were not disagreements, but they were handled much better.

As I have tried other games I have found forums for those, and have also found that many if not most treat their members with much more dignity than most are treated here. Yes you will occasionally have the loudmouth, or the one that tries to pick fights with everyone, but they are generally dealt with swiftly by admins or generally ignored. But many on this site have it refined to an art. Something they log on for and look forward to.

Even in a case such as this where a user is simply is trying to help, he is attacked and belittled. Which of course is the AA tradition. In many other forums, issues such as the Cap's thing, spelling, or whatever else would either not be mentioned publicly at all or would be mentioned respectfully. But not here. That would go against the AA way.

It doesn't have to be a Disney site in order for people to treat each other with respect. If you go to a site where people are all treating each other respectfully, most will do the same, those that don't just look like schmuks and are ignored. However if you go to a site where it's all flamers, complainers, attackers and abusive language, that's what you can expect. Which is one of the reasons I stopped coming.

Now thank God I have moved on from AA and for the most part MOH with the exception that occasionally I will drop by to see if the same people are around that were causing all the problems as before, for the most part..they are.

I'm sure even this post will probably be flamed, but by the time I come back again it will be so far off the list, I will never see it so whooptido. I don't think there is any hope for this site ever growing up.

Wow, talk about a bunch a losers. Imagine bashing a funny as hell post becuase some text is in caps. Hey virgins, go find a woman or at the very least go and toss off abit.

Nice first post. Want it to be your last?

Anyway, find your own damn strategies. evil:
