i'm a nice person in real life and on XBL. i just assume the idiots i run into on live don't drink from the fountain of knowledge, they just gargled.

btw i've never met an intelligent racist, rapper, or "Uber-pwnage Halo God"

I got a little chuckle by this post... good stuff. I am pretty sure that I am outside of your 65%. I do get grumpy when I am playing real well, but my team is terrible or just suiciding, killing each other, or not even holding their controllers. It is astonishing just how rude, immature, and hateful the lobbies tend to be. Like someone else said, I will give a little back if provoked enough. Too many times, I wonder why I even use my headset with all of the nonsense being thrown out by anonymous online tough guys.... gimme a break.

So far i have played with 1 british player out of HUNDREDS that has NOT told me that i am a fat american who just wants 10 big macs and a chocolate shake. So im pretty sure from my standpoint, 99.5% of brits are annoying.


I've only played with around 10-20 British players, but like you only one has failed to inform me that I am fat and love Big Macs. Of course, I guess it doesn't help that the entire time I'm laughing my -blam!- off at their accents.

I just have to say that if you're +10 and losing you tend to get annoyed...


I know exactly what you mean there. I was +17, my team outnumbered the other 4-2, and we still lost 50-46. It's so aggravating to lose when you are quite easily the best in that particular game. And the worse part is a player on my team was 7 levels ahead of me and went 5-21. It was only Swat, so it wasn't that important, but still, it sucked.

That's racism, and that's why people think all americans are ignorant.

Oh, I'm sorry I'm racist for having you Brits call me a fat pig, I apologize sincerely. And by the way, I never said it was ALL British players, I have met some very nice British people online.

EDIT: Also, I was talking about a nationality, not a race.

Console Division Lead - Clan ParadoX

You've missed a category:

5. Overkillers: You win a game by such a trivial margin that anyone else would have said "Good Game", but not you. You scored the highest on your team. Like Category 3, you take this time to put down your team. Then you proceed to degrading the other team, saying stuff like "ZOMG, I freaking pwned your n00b ass!" when in reality, you only had two or three kills more than your teammates, and the opposing teams lead player indeed had more kills then you, it's just that his team sucked. At this particular time, the decent player on the other team challenges you to a game, or even invites you to his party in a show of good form. You reject, saying that you don't play with people who suck that bad.

"2. The Redneck/Cracker. You are at least probably authentic unlike category 1. Your vitriolic racism and hatred of ga ys makes you appear subnormal but you wear it like a badge of courage. Likely to say 'How do you like the taste of balls boy?' after T bagging a victim of your newb combo. G ay? You?"

I dunno about this one man.....sounds to me like YOUR a prejudice Yankee. Ever heard of Southern Hospitality?

So? You're making fun of people because they were born in Britain, and therefore have a different accent. I don't see how making fun of people because of something they have no control over, is any different than making fun of people of a different skin colour. You're a bully and an idiot.

I'm from England, Britain, and have played against many Americans -- of course. I have come across, many times, those who wish to act immaturely and conduct themselves very badly with offensive verbal language.

Though a person, behaving badly, is American, doesn't mean they're all like that. I've spoken to many normal, kind and friendly people from America.

It doesn't matter where a person is from, they could potentially be an idiot. They're plenty of bastards here in Britain. It's not a matter of nationality.

Just remember that all the decent people out there, get along just fine. Ignore those who want to cause problems -- American or British.

Can I also suggest, and request, that this thread be locked? As a consequence of this subject, there has been some racial slur here. Mocking someone's nationality is the same as joking about a person's race. It's unacceptable.

Locking this thread will benefit all of us.

*Laughs*

It is off-topic, but, I do the "squiggly thing" because I consider it 'cool' and professional looking.

That's why I guess.

Note: The Ninjas should lock this thread. It's generated trouble rather than a constructive discussion.

I've played against people like that in the past but then again so have most people, as a rule I enjoy playing against the Americans, I also think that you get idiots in all nationalities, in fact it's quite pathetic to hear a Londoner trying to talk like a rapper, especially as he's probably a middle class white kid trying to fit in where he does'nt belong, guess what I'm saying is live and let live, if you don't like what you hear or see play with friends or change your zone to family or something, I don't condone what you have experienced but there are measures in place to limit this, i.e muting etc, but I don't think it was right to target Americans or any particular nationality as this happens accross the globe in all walks of life, before I get flamed I am a white Scotsman who was brought up in South Africa and have seen first hand the cruelty and hate that humans can administer against each other, black v white over there, religious based bigotry in Scotland,,,,,,please guys we play xbox to relax and have fun, can we not just leave all the hate out of the game.
I'm with you mate! You get ideots in every country, and that's why I turned talking to headset only, that way I can tell if they're a good group to be in, and if they're not, well, I just don't pug the headset in.

If you wish to be less annoying than the "65%" you claim to be out there, stop whining about it in the forums and do something about it; mute them and/or use Feedback to get Live on your side. Kvetching here accomplishes nothing worthwhile.
