Subject: American attitudes towards so called 'foreigners'

'WHY oh WHY' do you people have such a xenophobic attitude towards players who do not speak with an American 'drawl'? I come from Scotland and all I get it is b/s because of my 'accent'! The USA does not rule the world (as much as many of you think it does)! I will reply Yanks!

Please do not think that all Americans speak with a drawl...those are mostly Southerners, rednecks and NASCAR lovers who find it an amusing affectation. As a player, I don't care what you sound like so long as you can play (Hell I was invited to a group of all Italians one day...that was interesting because I had no idea what they were saying but we played well). I agree the USA does not rule the world...we're merely expected to police it .

Halo3Planet, the place for all things Halo 3..

Need help finding skulls, make sure to go here.

Please don't use these forums as a place to let out your anger. There are plenty of in-game devices, such as feedback and muting to get you past these problems. Posting on the forums will do no good at all. And, you are very hypocritical, and are making fun of Americans in general, when you just said you wer complaining that Americans make fun of you.

Between you and me I love the accent people from Scotland have.

Please try not to think all americans are bad just because of an experience you had with a few idiots. Thats what makes people racist and thats why some blacks and some whites hate eachother.

Sometimes my voice is stuck, so to speak, and i get people telling me to go back to india or something. Its sad though..

I'm from America and I hate it when people smack talk others because of their accents or what language they're speaking. It sucks, but there's nothing you can really do about it, unfortunately.

Sadly I don't understand where you are coming from. Alot of the time I come across a foreigner they end up talking crap to me right from the get go. I'm just here to play the damn game and win, not to point fingers and bring up political nonsense!

since you are such an expert on the american attitude apparantly, assuming that americans somehow think we rule the world, wouldnt if be already obvious to you that the reason we have xenophobia towards your dialect is because of our nationalism. and as for americans ruling the world, it may not be true, yet, but our leaders sure like trying to do it in swift invasions of the late. and you may want to tone it down, being from scotland, and all, you could become the next target, and stop talking wierd, this is america.

Not all Americans are the same. I NEVER make fun of someone unless they start with me. End of story.

The rest of the world HATES us? Seems like a lot of people hate you. Use your brain and either: A) Mute your mic; B) TAKE OFF YOUR HEADSET; or C) Stop crying over people that are making fun of you. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THEM!

yes it is annoying when people talk trash to other people just because of their nationality or whatever but theres not much to do but leave negative feedback on them.

Not all Americans are bad, some can be rather racist though. As i am Canadian and yes i do say "EH". But thats just some of the losers out there just ignore them, my Background is English my Grandpa had an accent. I<3Accents. WeLoveYouScottish! =]

btw: To the guy who said "we'd all be speaking German right now" Thats not entirley true, Britian was never conqured they stopped the German advance in 1940. The U.S. Were not the MAJOR force in defeating the -blam!-s.

  • 06.21.2007 6:45 PM PDT

That poor, poor Scotsman. Is the poor man deef? Das tha -blam!- nor'landar no understan' that we yenks luv a good Scot?

You thick headed Scotsman you. We love you idiots. We give you a little ration of BS because we dig you. Until you turn out to be just as whiny and idiotic as our fellow Americans.

I thought you were supposed to be a proud and noble people, not ones to whine in a chat room. Chin up you wanker! You right narmled Git! Your a Scotsman, not a God awful Arab or a poof!

It isn't trash talking, its love! I love you man. You probably look and sound exactly like grounds-keeper-Willy.

You rule.

Grunts make good lovers;not fighters.

Guys remember its Xbox Live!! Its okay to smack talk even I do it sometimes... you guys aren't perfect either so stop putting the blam on others and just accept that every one does it too.


P.S. This isn't even about Halo 2 so I don't understand why this is still here.

Poor baby, you act like you and every other foriegn countries who play halo are the only people that get treated poorly. American nationals and foriegners all put everyone down. I've had more run ins with americans bashing americans so don't act like your the only one, just deal with it, the rest of the world does, that or use your feedback system.

Yanks? Yes you made yourself look much better than americans with that.

Heh, I get called out just because of my drawl (I am southerner) from fellow Americans. Overall, we're a dumb lot, at least on H2. Then again, a majority are teens or little kids who aren't the most mature of people...
