Noob Education Idea

The best answer is another game.
You can't teach all of them and some you can't teach at all so take a break and go to Mediecal War and crush france and you'll feel better.

I was a noob once...but im not thick like all the others!, at least i know you have to use kits etc to use certain vehicles or planes etc...

Only problem with me though, i sometimes get wasted but i don't care about deaths, i prefer to work as a team and help my team win, thats all that matters, also having fun too

Maybe its my tactics that don't work..

anyways...what i'd do is...if you see a noob, shoot him...or just let him get shot by the opposing team someday he'll realise, messing about on a server isn't as much fun as he'd hoped it would be!.

forget who had this idea but it isn't mine.

Someone had said to put in a small interesting video tutorial about the game for new players. this video would play while the game is downloading or while it is installing. I liked this idea better.

if you have something simmilar to the vanilla tuts in mind, yes it would be helpful for noobs, but as with vanilla, it would piss every1 else off. so if possible, make it a toggle so vets can turn that annoying voice off

The best thing to do is to reply with something like this"

Q: "What is a shovel for?"

A: "The shovel is used to build commander assets such as bunkers, this was covered in the PR Manual that showed up on your desktop after you installed PR. I suggest that you close PR now and read the manual so you don't ruin the game for anyone else and you can spend more time playing and less time not knowing what the f*ck to do."

The last sentence can be replaced with RTFM.

I like to use that because, since you answer their question, you don't sound like a total jackass, but they can still sense the underlying distaste and that they are ruining the game for others.

That's kinda what happens when people ask me on VoIP what the shovel is for.

"Video removed due to terms of violation."

Judging by that, I'm guessing it was some nub cussing over VOIP about how he couldn't hit ppl with his shovel or something?
