I typically say something like "Oh boy, I guess people are going to watch all the cutscenes". I never see the "Someone in your party is new" message, so I dunno if it's just lazy PS3 users (not trying to sound totally mean) but I hear it can be harder to skip through CS's on a ps3 as load times vary.

What I don't get is the people who say nothing when it's their first time or they are new. My first run of CM I was carried so insanely hard. I skipped every cs because I wanted to watch them on my own later, and since I was new I stayed behind everyone and SHOCKINGLY noticed a certain pattern of avoiding enemies.

How people get to 50 without learning there is LoS agro is simply beyond me.
