Newb is a misleading word... people will use it for people who aren't as good as they are, regardless of the length they've played. I should be as skilled as say razor or some of the other consistent 4:1+ ratio people, considering I've played since beta 6, I used to spend lots of time practicing with very good players in a clan I used to belong to. I had my moments, where I was unstoppable (I've got screenshots), but for the most part unless I'm in the right situation, I look quite mediocre. I attribute a lot of it to my lack of scoped sniping skill, which is something I've never been good at in any game. All the best players seem to be very proficient at the awp or scout.
