At least a P90 has combat practicality...

Its more the mindset of people playing it that sets me off, like:

Other people say its a noob gun, so I will, i wont use it tis looked down upon, I have a rep, Im the greatest player ever, yada yada. Plus nobody actually uses teamwork and I hear annoying people calling you a jew every time you kill them. I dont even know where that insult came from, but whatever. Ill do an occasional private match but thats it.

The P90 has gone through a lot of crap through games and in the real world. People say the ammo doesn't have the stopping power or it isn't as accurate as 9mm. And most just hate the design of the weapon because it's so new and futuristic and of course that the weapon itself is very expensive and the ammo is also very expensive, so it has a lot of bashing.

They way I see it, any gun you kill an opposing player with is going to be referred to as a "noob" gun.

I very rarely play online, but when I do it's always free-for-all death matches with the other players muted.

I've always held preference for the single-player aspect of most games anyway. Most game developers have this "geared for multi-player" mentality I just don't get.

I think the whole notion of "noob tactics" or noob guns happen because it's so easy to kill someone with a weapon that can be very effective or tactics that, though are very cheap like camping, are effective ways of taking out the other team.

It's hard to transfer what happens in the real world to gaming when ppl want "clean and fun" play sessions. Then there's like me who play Airsoft in military simulation outdoors, we do what the pros do and that in itself is a whole other kind of experience.

I feel the same way. Gameplay mechanics in multi-player shooters are just too basic. There's just nothing terribly exciting about them anymore, no matter how many variations on scenarios you have.

Singleplayer is much harder to do well, but the best single-player games play out like excellent sci-fi or gangster movies. "GTA IV" showcases this well.

I get pissed when someone says "that waqs cheap you jew." I'm not jewish but the fact there bashing someones religion as an insult pisses me off. And the fact every mall ninja in the world must be online, with all the "i'll be an "operator" with a "deegle " when I graduate high school crap.

You can thank Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park, for that... Apparently being an anti-semite is the new "in". No thanks...

Yeah, but have you watched South Park? Matt Stone makes fun of Jews in good humor but far too many dickheads have watched the show and taken it too far. Some kids in my school drop loose change around jewish kids just to see if they'll pick it up.

I hate this one Jewish kid but I hate him because he's a dick, not because he's Jewish.
