I still play for fun, I don't like it when people take the game too seriously, it IS just a game, not a life or death situation..

That and it is hard to find people to play with because nobody wants to party up anymore, it's like the community on live is a little more unfriendly with each other then they were maybe 2 months ago.

I dont treat it like life and death, but when I play video game, I play it like a sport(game/fun). Not too serious, but competition always makes things better.

You would figure with so many people just playing for fun I would have met some by now. I have met a couple but the list is fairly limited. In either case, I enjoy just playing when I can but I will admit I have a competitive nature. Not because I want to own people but rather that I just like pushing myself and outstretching my hand as far as it can.

I play for the fun of the game. I spend most of my time in Team Swat do to all the quitters in the other matches. At least in swat if your team bails it's still fun. BTB they always bial. I can't stand quitters!

Noxscope.

NO I play serious.

I mean I pay to play this game dont I?

Loosing all the time isnt fun.

Not saying you cant have fun.


Nintendo wii games those are fun.

Honestly when is a FPS shooter meant for fun?

I thought it was cause of competition like all games.

THink about you play a game to win not lose.

At least i think

i'm just curious coz every game i play weather it b ranked or not everyone's always so serious like its a matter of life n death, they must win...

it is just a game still right? or did i miss when it changed???

What you said reminded me of someone that used to be on my friends list. Thetrojanbunny. He played a 4v4 oddball game. He was on my team and complained about carrying our entire team. At the end i went positive 10 and he went negative 14.

haha i agree. every game i go into i play against boosters. i don't see what's the big deal of a rank. it's only there to make sure u play against people who r as good as you. if you spend your whole life and summer trying to get a number on your tv screen, get a life.

yeah i guess that makes sense...

but what happens when the ppl that play for the fun leave? who would the serious ppl have to blame then?
wouldn't they get bored of the game then? seeing as they only play to win n if the ppl that play to have fun leave, there only gonna b playin against all the serious ppl that have to win... they wont b able to win then will they?

The rapers will become the raped n they'll have no1 to blame bar themselfs for pushin away all the "casual" gamers...





as a side note, i play every single day basically. even if its only 1 or 2 matchs, i'll get on.... i still play for fun so hows that make me a casual gamer or any1 else that plays regulary for the fun of it a casual gamer???? just curious as to how u came about lableing us as "casual gamers"

Not all serious gamers absolutely have to win sir.

They merely take it seriously and concentrate on trying to win as hard as they can.

There is a difference between the serious gamer and one who blames everyone else and always has to win at all times.

Have you at all considered that maybe for some people playing competetively IS fun?

I enjoy playing competetively in matchmaking but for fun in customs.

I usually spend my time playing BTB and other unranked games because I don't have to worry about my rank and all of that frustration. They're more fun. I'll play Team Slayer and other ranked matches if I can find at least one partner to team up with. The worst thing is for your "teammates" to quit or to de-rank you.

I am very much alike to this.

Oooh, you are so nosy...

You think Halo bad. Gears of war is a nightmare in ranked games.

It's just a game. One that I happen to be good at. I'll try my best to win, but if I don't, no biggie.

I mean, I'm not that great at Gears, because I'm no good with the shotgun. The whole reason I play Halo is for fun.

i know its just a game...

i'm just sick of every1 takin it all seriously, ranked games yeah i can understand that(not that rank means anything outside the game) but unranked matchs? seriously why bother. u play for fun u feel better if u do win, if not u may learn sumfin then u say good game, check ur stats n move on. but spend the whole match n half an hour in post game lobby b^itch^ng n trash talkin whats the point, i dont get it? Y try n make urself feel all big over a game?Y ruin every1 elses match just coz u didnt win n u have too....

I'm the 1st to admit i'm no pro. but seriously how many ppl that play are? I'd just like for every1 to settle down for once n actually enjoy MM n give every1 an oppertunity to sit down n have a rexlaxin uncompetitive(or competitive) game without all the trash talkin. every1 has bad games u know, just coz they didnt go as good as u in that match doesn't give u the right to start trash talkin them. all ur tryin ur doing is talking urself up n all that does is makes u look like the idiot. it may seem rather funny to u n the party ur in or howevers watchin u at home or where ever u are but really its quiet pathetic...

Have you's ever thought how many good players that could of chalenger ur skills n ur rank have left n givin up because of this? how many newcomers that could of givin u a run for ur money any day of the week just simply gave up when they 1st started coz they were sick of being payed out n trash talked when they were only new n tryin to learn the ropes n skill of this game?.... i'm sure ppl have quit/gave up because of this. enough ppl have posted here agreeing with my comments to make me believe some people have....
