Gaming sins

we're not all like that, i swear. some of us manage to be good people and play on xbox live!
Dimmukane:
Yeah, I won't be the first to say that people who play on Xbox Live aren't automatically assholes. Less than 5% of the people I come across are rude in any way. Some games it shows more (*cough cough* shooter of the month) than others, but for the most part, the people you play with are pretty nice guys.
Narr:
It does seem to be more rampant in FPS games. It's almost as if the more popular it is, the more everyone on it is a complete asshole.
I've had pleasant experiences with FPS games, even when new. Call of Duty (the original) was pretty awesome when it came out, and Battlefield 2142 was pretty awesome as well. You didn't encounter as many dipshits and assholes because servers almost always had an admin on at some point and because the game was very team-based without gimping you yourself (as in, making it so you're only capable of doing one thing well while having lots of weaknesses *coughTF2cough*), people learned to work together better. You didn't want to piss off someone because you don't know if he's going to be on your team next round, helping you get that unlock you've been trying for a month to get.

You have no idea how right this statement is. I remember playing Halo 2 when it was really popular and modding or "standby-ing" or "glitching" or what have you, was in, about 5% of the people I played with were nice. That pretty much turned me off of Xbox Live entirely.

i play alot of CoD4 and the biggest problems i encounter would be people singing, yelling, being annoying in general; in which case i just mute them and all is well. i actually encountered 'teabaggers' for the first time the other day and did not not have a problem with the actual teabagging itself as it temporarily disctracted them, earning more kills for my team. the only problem is that the type of people who do this are also the loud, rude, and usually stupid people you hear so much about. however, as with most things you can just ignore them and everyone is better off.
