Why I hate Online Gaming...

[StrainedEyes]

I finally decided to buy my Gold membership, I very rarely played online games and haven't for very long time. I turned off of it because of all the spawn campers and people who never stop playing who rape any casual gamer.

But, with GTA coming soon, I decided to buy a Gold and try to have some fun. I only have Gears, Skate, and Saints Row which go online. Saints no one plays anymore, Skate is boring, but Gears still has plenty of games.

However, Everytime I play a quick match and get stuck on a team, my teammates at the start of a match will instantly hunt me down and kill me, leaving me to watch the battle and wonder why they did it.

Is this some kind of ritual that Gears people have developed when there is a so-so player on the team? Or have I only been playing with *******s?

I hate online gaming, people take **** way too seriously.

Please tell some horror stories or annoyances here.

Its kind of the opposite for me, as an AVID online gamer, i rarely come across other individuals that just completely ruin the experience(it happens just not that often). I mean every now and then there will be just a complete *****ebag on either my team or the opposing team but usually this is solved by the mute button. Most games i play online will kick anyone who team kills(CoD4 and R6:V2). However, i rarely play with just myself, i try to ALWAYS play with my Friends, either friends that iv known for a long time or guys iv met through Live. As for spawn campers, it happens, but a lot of games are doing things to counteract it, for example R6 has a 5 second "spawn shield" so that when you spawn up, you have 5 seconds of invulnerability just incase some punk thinks hell get a couple of easy kills. In my opinion, the best thing you can do, is just try to play w/ your friends everytime ya go online, its MUCH more fun that way.

I never had anyone do that to me in Gears, but I only had that game for the first 6 months or so that it was out before selling it...

Smackdown vs Raw 2008 seems to have a particular amount of sore losers. Guys that quit the matches early and so on. So, bit of background, I've created a title and managed to build it up to the full 5 star rating. I wanna see if I can get moved up on the title leaderboard by defending the title in more matches. So I created a First Blood match, this guy comes in with over 100 wins and roundabout as many loses, so I think, hmm maybe this guy will be a bit of a challenge. I ask him to go get his own title to put on the line, which he does, a crappy one star belt, but I shrug and say fair enough and play on. Early on I'm kicking his ass. I get a chair and start beating him with it a few times. As soon as he's up he gets out of the ring. He basically starts calling me a cheating ******. And I'm like, 'how the **** am I cheating?', and he's like 'you have to use weapons you're a cheater', and I say 'but it's a first blood match, you're allowed to use weapons', and the guy is seriously yelling at this point, and using a string of insults like ****** and ******, and I'm like, 'the weapons are allowed but fine, I'll fight you without a weapon'. But he continues to stand outside the ring. And this is different from other times guys have stood outside the ring waiting for their chance to get back in - this guy basically doesn't wanna play anymore and is crying like a girl because I was beating him.

Everytime I'd get out of the ring, he'd run away, and he'd laugh while doing it which was a little annoying, but the whole time I was thinking, 'I've never played against such a sore loser before'. The whole time the guy won't shutup about how I'm cheating, how I must have cheated to get the prestige up on my belt, how I have to use weapons, etc. I'm insulting him back at this point, calling him a pathetic whining (!), calling him a (!) when he would run away, and so on. I'm like, 'look, I'll even put the chair outside the ring, let you come back in and we'll just fight', and he's like 'no, I'm just gonna stand out here. I can do this all day'. And I'm saying stuff like, 'you realize this is only a video game, right? Ya seriously need anger management classes (you should have heard this guy's angry yells). Do you act like such a whiney ***** in real life? If you don't want to play just turn it off', and he's like 'no way, I don't want you to get the win', so I say 'so just fight me then', and he's saying he won't fight me, he's just gonna stand there until I quit. And he's also saying stuff like, 'it's not called a video game it's called a computer game you ******!!' which is so ****ing stupid. So yeah it gets to the point where I'm insulting the guy and calling him a pathetic sore loser that gets in a hissy fit when he loses games, and he's calling me all sorts of names, and I'm like 'if you think using weapons is cheating you should have said at the start, how the hell was I supposed to know you'd throw a hissy fit'. And he's calling me a 'scottish ****er', and I'm saying 'I'm not even scottish you ****ing dumbass'.

Long story short, the more I say he's throwing a hissy fit, the angrier he gets, but I'm realizing he has no intention of fighting me, he's just gonna wait me out. And I worked hard for that title lol, wasn't anyway I was gonna let this guy have it. It was probably about ten minutes later when he eventually stopped running away and got in the ring, at which point I proceeded to kick his ass without weapons, at which point he accused me of cheating again saying I was using the same moves, which wasn't even true. He threw another hissy fit, and I'm guessing he just put the controller down or threw it or something because he stopped fighting back, and in a really whiney voice he said 'I'm not playing now!'. After the match he sent me a voice message calling me a 'welsh ******', lol. Never in my life! Never in my life have I played someone that took losing so badly.

I asked what age he was, he said he was 21.

The next match I had was a steel cage match, I was ready for climbing out the cage and the other guy quit the match making it result in a draw :???:

I actually love online gaming, but when people do that to you it is totally unfair. Never had that happen to me but I have had them just ditch me and do the missions themselves, which sucks because they do it just because they want their own little clan members

I only playing Gears a few times, didn't like it too much online, kept getting my @$$ kicked. I have been noticed more and more spawn campers on Call of Duty though, I've been in games where I wouldn't even take 3 or 4 steps before getting killed and this would happen 5 or 6 times in a row.

Last week I was playing Call of Duty. We were playing on Creek and the team I was on immediately went to the caves and started yelling at me to get in the caves so we could just camp there the whole game. None of them must have been the host though cause I didn't get kicked, they were really pissed though cause I kept running around outside looking for people.

 

[kainedamo]

The way I see it is...

If you're going to hide somewhere during a Call Of Duty game, who cares. It's war! And if a team decides they're all gonna defend one place, same again, they should be free to do so.

But people that spawn camp suck.

Yea camping doesn't bug me too much, i mean eventually you are guaranteed to get killed by me as i know exactly where you are hiding at. As for spawn killing in CoD4, yea its REALLY annoying, but most of the time its due to the games sh**y spawn placement not someone actively waiting for me to pop up.

 

[RickO'Connell]

The game's spawn placement suck. Most of the time I am re spawned right in the middle of a gun fight & I die right away. Infinity Ward lost their marbles with the spawn system

yea, im in agreement on this one.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I only play online with my friends. That way if they pull that crap, I can kick their asses in real life.

hahahaha.

You've been playing with d*** heads. They've never done that to me.

 

[terry78]

Usually the hardcore ones feel this need to basically belittle the newbies as much as humanly possible. I remember doing the Blood Gulch thing for Halo on my laptop a while back, as I had never really played before.....it's like a bunch of two year olds got ahold of their daddy's computer and were just crapping onto the keys.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I think it depends on the popularity and type of game as well, years back rainbow 6 Rogue Spear didn't have the same amount of of players as counterstrike, quake 3 or half life, it had it's share of hardened players, but in general it was a good community, counterstrike, halflife and especially quake 3 was loaded with jerks. If the Xbox is more accessible for gaming as well, chances are you will get younglings playing with you, that's not to say the pc doesn't as well.

 

[Spider-Vader]

It may be the game you're playing GOW online is full of a** holes. Halo & COD4 are more friendly, though every now & then there'll be jerk offs.

 

[BoredGuy]

i hate online because it's replaced regular multiplayer.
I have actual friends, dammit, and they don't have next gen consoles! what happened to the good ole days of sittin next to someone while you taunt them and kick their asses??

 

[lars573]

Nothing it's just that most games split screen modes are pretty basic. Becuase online is better.

I like playing with younglings!!!

^I never noticed that little half step the kid does when the saber is activated.

 

[Sundancer]

I mostly play Halo and Uno. Someone flashed their "memebr" while I was playing Uno


Most of what annoys me are the idiot who yell out "Veto!" in Halo, like I'm going to do what they say, and people who are completely unorgional with their trash talk ("Everyone on the blue team is gay!")

People are much worse with Street Fighter. I won't play it with voice enabled.


Most of it isn't that bad.

It's a ****ing epic acting move, that kid will win an Oscar someday, or a BAFTA at least.
