    I'm a newb, so I gotta ask...

    does nobody read the FAQ before asking FAQs?

    A hook is slang for any point that can be claimed by Infantry. Hooks include, but are not limited to,

    Sniper Towers

    Forerunner Supply Elevators

    Cover (crashed Warthogs, etc.)

    Bonus Reactors

    Those weird things on Release

    A hook is a usable structure pre-placed on the map. EX: Reactors, supply elevators, sniper towers, that kinda stuff.

    And if you really are a newb, then you would have said fine gentleman instead of newb

    A hook is a reactor and/or a Supply carrier where you can place a infantry unit in so it may be garrisoned by youself

    and how is handing out free things helping him? If he read the FAQ, it might also answer other newb questions he has. Giving him answers only encorage him to make another pointless thread when he has another newb questions. I also helped him because he now knows if he needs answers, he can read the FAQ.

    What you SHOULD have said:

    A hook is (insert definition here). They are very useful if you can claim them.

    Later on, I suggest you use the FAQ for your questions.

     

    Give the kid a chance. He might not even know of the existance  of an FAQ on this site. (Yes, I know it's up top on the bar. W/e)

    with my post he gets to actually go and check out the FAQ. he also will actually need to do some work. Free handouts is pointless and just teaches people to be needy.

     Those aren't hooks just free buidlings.
