true...

oh n just to make myself clear i dont have anything against winning or winners, i like winning myself. but i dont mind losing also...

i just dont like ppl that think winning is everything, and the ones that think it cant have fun unless ur winning... i honestly wouldnt mind if i lost a 100 matchs in a row, a thousand even just aslong as i didnt get some smart mouthed kid/immature person trash talking me for it. i still say good game at the end and i'll comment on sumfin if i liked what i saw or if we had a good lil gun fight at some point or sumfin like that. y is it so hard for you's to b nice back? all u have to say is good game or sumfin of the same meaning... hell, u could even give us a tip or a friends request or sumfin n help us(not really refering to me but its how i write) out with some strategies or sumfin. you'd get more better opponents out of it in the end...

i could go on 4 years about this, it annoys me so much and this is the only place where i can vent it and ppl(most) listen and agree

i dont think ive ever button glitched(if i have a wasnt trying to) and i've never even tried to superjump... i dont see the point in button glitchs or superjumps...
yes i know u can get away with them and not get in trouble n stuff like that...

i dont do them for the simple fact that the they were not intended to b in the game, there glitchs and theres nothing they can do about them(bar fix it 4 halo3) so y should i use them? i'd rather play the game how it was intended to b played. its much more rewardin when u do actually beat ppl that glitch(after all i only play for fun)....

Its good that you dont use them. I encourage gameplay as it should be but theres always going to be someone who disagrees with me.

I've lost all steam for halo itself, I think I might just rent H3...

That's like saying sex has lost it's steam.

I play for fun, but fun for me is playing competitively. When you say "who just plays for fun anymore", understand that fun can be taken in different ways. Fun to some means screwing around with friends in team training. Others it means playing a intense, competitive match. And there are those who just like to play to find glitches or superbounces on maps. I could probably mention other examples too.

I'm not bashing anyone here, I just want to point out fun means different things to different people. Yeah, sometimes I like to screw around too, but most of the time I have fun playing competitively in MLG customs or THC.

That's just my 2 cents.

My meaning of fun is no one quits, everyone plays cleanly, no superjumping/button glitching and no teabagging.
In other words hardcore.

agreed. thats y i play customs now. or i only go into MM with a full party. so i dont have to listen to some whinging lil kid b^tch^ng about this or that when its a good damn unranked match...

honestly this 1 guy was goin on so much coz me n my mates were just foolin in swat. he complained the whole match about how we lost bcoz of us. then i sent him a friends request for a 1v1... he accepted, so i played him... u should of heard this guy. i let him get the first 9 or mayb 10 kills(it was first to 25) n u shpuld of heard him. he was all like "i dont know y i wasted my time. killin n&&bs bores me" n stuff like that. just imagine the worst you've heard in MM n he was proberly close to that...

in the end i won 25-11 heheheheh. he quit striaght away booted me of hhis friends list n blocked me from sendin him any friends or clan invites...

the moral of that story, dont trash talk sum1 when u dont know them or its ur first game against them. actually dont trash talk at all... ppl do fool around u know. n u may get ur pride hurt like that^^^ poor bugger

hey token its me XxD34dLyDuD3xX lol i totally agree with what your saying mate... no offence americans but yous all need to shut ya trap sometimes!!! many times ive played a match, ive totally pwned and the other team always says i suck!!! and also if an aussie gets host, the americans lag out and call us cheaters because they got a tiny bit of lag... its pathetic... i dont mind playing with yanks and i dont mind losing but if i get a mouthfull in the postgame carnage report, i WILL retaliate... i respect winners (unless of course they cheated in some way)... but yeah... token we gotta play a bit of SWAT sometime. i can totally own in that... even with lag... i cleaned out my mates list, and i think i got rid of you but if you really want, you can send me another friends request aye? later guys

um i think ur still on my list... its pretty full n i deleted some but i think i kept u... if not i'll had u soon coz i'm goin on shortly n i'll proberly b doin an all nighter if ur interested in partyin up bro?

on a side note isnt it funny how the 1st thing americans say about us is we're british? then when they find out we're aussie they say "do u want another shrimp on the barbie?" like its sumfin every australian does... personally i've never done it, i dont even eat seafood. i havent even seen any1 eat shrimp thats been cooked on a BBQ....

Damn u paul hogan....

yeah personally i dont eat prawns, but what person in their right mind would cook a shrimp on the barby?! and usually when a yank calls me a brit i retaliate something bad and taken em 1 on 1... i hate brits no offence even though they are our past i guess... have you ever noticed that when an aussie and some yanks are fightin, if a brit comes in, the aussies and yanks gang up against the brits lol... its so funny...

but sorry not tonight im gettin an early night 2nite but i will defianantly be on tomorrow perhaps early morning... (i dont know how to spell defianantly lol...) oh well later mate...

I play for fun, but for me fun is two evenly matched teams playing hard to win a close game.

Fun and competitive don't necessarily have to be mutually exclusive. By it's very nature a game involving two opposing teams IS competitive. That's why there is a score. My problem with Halo 2 online is that it doesn't take your overall rank from ALL playlists into account, so that I am usually being matched with players much better than me. It's just no fun being slaughtered every game. And of course there are the racists, and other various idiots who seem to run rampant on Halo 2 for some reason. Sad, because these people really take away enjoyment of the game for me. You can be a competitive player with out being a jerk who takes himself so seriously. I mean, at the end of the day, being good at a video game is still just being good at a video game. That and a $1.50 will get you on the bus.

i loved ur closing sentence man, that was frikin hilarious hehehehe...
but i so agree with everything u said....
if u party up with me u cop it all(my GT so apparently i'm black, n the fact that im not american, means i cop it too)...
im noot sayin all americans are bad, i have alot of friends on my list that are good nice easy goin ppl. its the majority that ruins it minority though

i just got on after tea last nite for like half an hour b4 my tv show i wanted to watch was on and anyway i went into swat coz i was by myself n i was waitin for the game to start(it was capture the flag at sanctuary)dont know y capture the flag is in the swat playlist but anyway, as soon as the game started it went blue. 20 seconds later it was just me and this other guy on my team at the post game lobby...

what is the point of quitin out of an unranked game? it drives me mad some days....
atleast i made another friend out of it i guess. we party'd up after that happened so at least they'd b 2 ppl on our team if any1 else decided to quit out(which they did, almost every game)...

he was british, he was nice, he actually changed my views on british ppl n they way that there so angry n pee'd off at sumfin all the time...
he was actuallty nice n didnt trash talk the whole match. all he did was played the game, used the team communications(like spotting the other team, imformin us where they were if we didnt know) n he actually played as a team member n didnt just rush in n run around by himself...

it was a nice change....

so i guess through everyone quitin out in one game, i made a new buddy that i can play alot more with...

yeah, I always play for fun, and sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, and what I think is funny is when I'm not trying and I'm tired, and these random guys beat me by 2 or 3 points, and they're all bragging and swearing and stuff, it's funny in a stupid and pitiful kind of way...

oh yeah, and some people quit because sometimes, they go into an unranked game to wait for someone to get online, and they get online right after it says configuring game, so you can't leave, and they send you a party invite!
I would rather play with my friends than in matchmaking with other people who can't play the game graciously...
