I just don’t understand the dislike towards Noobs, like come on their just new player to Halo.
Their not these Infection Forms that are here to eradicate our civilization and just because they don’t have the experience that us senior Halo players have doesn’t mean they don’t have the potential to be great Halo Contributors.
Bottom line: New people joining Halo isn’t a bad thing.
Let’s be welcoming and polite to new comers… remember we where all once noobs.
(The reason why I’m posting this is because I’ve noticed alot of Noob hate videos on YouTube)
I’m pretty sure it’s because most people (well, I think most, at least) associate the term ‘noob’ with ‘that one squeaky teammate that goes 0-20 and betrays you for the sniper rifle’ as opposed to ‘valued, constructive community member’.
Newbs are like the cannon fodder in games. They can be helpful though in objective games because they’ll usually go for the objective nonstop. Now ‘noobs’ on the other hand I hate because they’re the ones that will betray you for weapons or do stupid stuff on purpose.

Wouldn’t jerk be a more accurate insult for someone who betrayals you?
I’m more speaking of noobs who are less experienced than unhelpful, rude & unskilled players
It’s a very touchy topic. Due to the “halo effect”, we have a tendency to develop an impression of others that act similarly like us. Unfortunately, that isn’t really the case most of the time. I guess that’s why most people get annoyed with noobs being around.
Wait, there’s been noob hate? I get the regular irritation about noobs being noobs, but we all did start there at one point. I think the reason why you’re seeing these hate videos pop up is because some people just have a low tolerance for casual new players when they’re taking the game seriously.

People won’t hate on someone who is new to a game and genuinely wants to contribute to a team or get better. But bring in one of those useless little buggers that won’t stop teabagging and going on about how they slept with your mother… well, there’s plenty of hate to be found.

It isn’t so much about the legitimate new players that the term “noob” applies to. You can be new at the game and still be treated like most others will. The term most often applies to players who either have been on the game for not that long and act like they know everything, young prepubescent players who get enraged when something doesn’t go their way or teamkill “for the luls”, or are actually new to the game and act so oblivious to everything around them. Or a combination/mix of that criteria that happens too. Bottom line, new players are not a bad thing. Noobs are just a pain in the -Yoink-.
EDIT: To help clarify things a bit more, you can kinda differentiate these types of these players through usage and spelling of the term “noob”. Use “noob” for people that hinder you as I explained above", and use “newb” or “newbie” for legitimate new players.

Be quiet stupid n00b! Jk
I think it’s just frustrating to deal with new players that accidentally team kill and have no clue what they’re doing. But that’s really not reason to treat them like trash.

A ‘newb’ is someone who is just new to the game but according to the people in the comments above a ‘noob’ is an obnoxious, annoying and Unhelpful player.
I don’t understand it much either

Indeed. However, it’s not exactly fair for 343 to create a game mode in which new players literally can’t contribute enough to the objective to win it, regardless of their skill level (i.e. Mythic Warzone Firefight). If anyone is ever justifiably annoyed with new players, it would be in the game mode where people not calling in reqs (which are things that new players don’t have many of, by definition) directly causes the team to lose. There’s nothing wrong with new players, that’s just a problem with how the req system works.
Aside from that particular issue, of course it’s just common human decency to be welcoming and polite to newcomers, as long as they’re not being immature.

Why even pay attention to those videos? I can’t understand why Halo Youtubers are popular at all. It’s beyond me.

Well said. I can understand someone new learning the ropes. But someone new who goes in and makes a mess is subject to some criticism lol
Noob doesn’t literally mean new player anymore. I think it more means, the one who’s whining in the mic, doesn’t even try to pull his weight, and betrays all day.
Also…does anyone else call the player who just killed you a noob?? They’re obviously not if they killed me, and I call them that in my rage all the time. XD
I like the message of this post though, OP. We should definitely be welcoming to new players, unless they’re acting like noobs.
