Actually, in pretty much any online circle, "noob" is a rude word used to insult others. "Newb" or "newbie" refers to a new player, while "noob" often refers to an incompetant player.

Noob is a derogatory word, it is not the same thing as newb.

I've been playing online games for years, noob has always been and always will be used as an insult. You can also check urban dictionary, they outline pretty clearly what the difference is.
