why is it that when i'm killed some clown who has nothing to do with the deed runs up and empties his carbine(or whatever) into the dead body, obviously dead.is this to compensate for the lack of kills on his part or is it something more sinister?

Immature gamers in H2?

Surely you're kidding, right?

Humping/teabagging, screaming into the headset, racist language, homophobic language, shooting dead bodies, it's all there in massive quantities.

At times the choice of language I hear makes me think I've wandered into a -blam!- rally. I hope the feedback feature works, but it would seem the folks at xbox live would be overwhelmed with those types of incidents. The occasional or even repeated *blam* doesn't bother me, but when someone refers to another as a ni---- bi---, that's crossing the line.

Of course, all these instances of name calling merely reflects the person's inability to be creative. Does no one refer to another as a smarmy git anymore? :-)

yea, after several games i played today, i've decided that halo 2 has become a little kids game. halo 2 is a wonderful game in itself, but when you introduce little kids to the whole picture, it gets ugly. in one day, i've muted 6 people, and on pretty much on every game, someone quit. i mean, i'm fine with teabagging, cause its rather hilarious to watch and to do (yes, i delve into immature activities such as that), but i can't get over how many people are "smarmy gits" =p. i miss halo 3, where you could mute players easily and make them an unpreferred player, because you could say they were quitting or they were really bad at the game, or because of language..... needless to say, once halo 3 comes out, i doubt ill go back to halo 2. yes, there were many great memories, but as soon as the immature gamers got a hold of it, it tarnished halo 2's otherwise flawless image.

Woah-woah-wee-woah!

Don't forget about cheaters...
They're just as immature as any of them. If you could "Own any of us without cheating," then why do you do it? You cheaters break rules like ten-year-olds (not that I have anything against them). And just so you know cheating is as low-down as tea-bagging or using vulger language or racism. I guess Halo 2 was a waste of time for Bungie. Nothing but a stepping stone to a more fair, justified multiplayer sequel. (sigh...)

i agree with the whole cheaters are low-down, but teabagging? it isn't that bad. i mean sure, it can be annoying, but it just aggravates the other player. its really not that big of a deal, i just go like "eh, he killed me, and i guess that means he has full reign over my dead armor-clad body" lol.... haha but in halo 3, they make teabagging a whole lot better, because the body goes up and down with you while you do it, so its kinda like they're advocating teabagging in h3. but yea, in recap, cheaters suck, vulgar and racisit people suck, and teabagging can be rather amusing.

For the record, and to clarify, I'm not opposed to teabagging (although I don't participate in it--too busy looking over my shoulder). If someone feels the need to do it on occasion, fine. It's silly and immature (and we can all be immature at times), but not nearly as offensive as extreme profanity, racist/homophobic slurs, screaming, quitting when losing, team-killing, and all the other stuff out there that makes H2 online less than what it could be. It's why I'm glad to have found a few people to set up games with rather than always take my chances in match-making.

I would never waste ammo on a dead body, unless I knew that person was a cheater. However, if I'm bored, I would teabag another person's kill for no particular reason. I guess I just get bored.

Never would I use racial slurs or the such. That's just wrong.

I hadn't heard that yet, thank you. That's the best thing I've heard about Halo 3 yet.

yea, the muting option is amazingly simple, and unpreferring players is easy to, you just leave feedback, and it gives you a variety of options, unlike halo 2. its really nice

Naw, he's just trying to convince himself he's been a part of the kill. Preteen psychology 101, the Invincibility Fable. AKA egocentricism.


Um...okay? Preteen psychology states that whenever one kills another person in an online game one must pretend to hump the vicitim? Where'd you go to school? It's just being immature and stupid, age has nothing to do with in my opinion, because i've seen adults swear at and shoot and tbag their kills.
