"Noobiest" cosmetics

What cosmetic items are most associated with newbies or bad players? (Not the same thing, of course.)

I know the Ghastly Gibus is often seen as such, as is the Mercenary Badge. Are there any others? Particularly accessories.

not true, some PoP players are actually good.
a PoP scout once owned a my team on pl_upward using the soda popper. 2 dominations, and 2nd spot on the mvp

and if someone has the halo, doenst it mean that they have been playing for a bit longer than the non-halos?

A lot of people associate PoP wearers with noobs because you still recieve it from the retail version of the orange box. That, and because they might be wearing it because they have not spent enough time in the game to get other hats.

To be honest, I don't recall last time I saw someone wearing halo.

I try to wear my halo on classes I don't play too often. eg: Scout, Engi, Demo. It actually looks pretty good on engi.

Which furthers the image. If you've been wearing a trash hat for THREE YEARS, there's a problem.

Yeah, the halo came out a few years ago, so anyone who DOESN'T have it is by definition more of a noob than the people who do, save for the few idlers who didn't ragequit when they didn't get it.

If you see someone who has the halo, and you weren't around when they were handed out, then you should automatically feel shame. Or reverence. Or something.

Halo? That means they've been playing for awhile though!


I'd say, along with gibus and spiral, any uncraft hats that are in the "starter packs"

But at least they bought a premium account.
