Yeah it does get old fast hearing someone trash talk constantly thoughout the match. The ones that get to me the most are the ones that say they pwned you when you are the last person left on your team, against four other people. Usually the other team will be quiet, but there is one person who will continue to trash talk. Like its really that hard to kill someone when you have three other people helping you. I probably mute about 85% of the people I play with both on my team and the other team just because they won't be quiet. Mute is a great feature.

I hate when 10 year olds get on. I am 15 but I act my age, after I get a kill I just keep on going, I don't curse you out or say -blam- you, I'm just there because I'm playing Halo, 100% of all the people I have played with have me as a preferred player because I don't make their Halo experience terrible.

  • 08.25.2007 7:23 PM PDT

Those who live by the sword... get shot by those who don't.

There's a difference between people who take Halo seriously and the kids you describe.

I am of the opinion that people in MM really need to take the game more seriously. Live is full of people who just screw around, team kill, quit, cheat, and don't play. Where's the fun in that? I really wish people would be more serious about it.

But taking Halo seriously doesn't include trash talking every time you kill somebody or yelling at somebody and accusing them of cheating every time you die. It mostly just means playing the game to the best of your abilities.

No, but I am sick of 16 year old British who call me a 10 year old American!

I'm 15! lol

No, wait, I am sick of 10 year old Americans who shout every kill they get, but that goes for Americans and British alike. Although British are worse for I can hardly understand them I fear!

Yes, people most certainly take this game too seriously. Not only the younger crowd, but older people as well.

I wish to cite a game I played a couple weeks ago as an example. I was in a team skirmish match on Ascension. My team was being beaten in a one flag capture the flag match and I was trying to sneak over to my opponents. On the way I found a sniper rifle, picked it up, raced to a tower, and saw that they had our flag in the center of the map. I tried to line up a shot, but since I am no world class sniper, I missed my first, and the rotating pillars in the center blocked my second and third shot. Consequently, the other team captured our flag.

The response I got for simply missing three sniper shots was ludicrous. One of my teammates (who sounded at least 17 years old) proceeded to scream at me over the microphone, loudly voicing that I sucked at sniping, and at Halo 2 in general. At the end of the match I was told "get another life, because you SUCK at Halo!" All this because in one instance I missed THREE shots.

I have seen other players be similarly chewed out for missing one or two shots, and that is only anger over missed sniper shots, let alone poor skill in general. To once again answer the question, YES, people take this game too seriously.

That is why many people say it is a lot more fun to play with friends over a LAN party or even Xbox Live than with total strangers.

I agree, Live is amazing and absolutely a blast to play, but nothing beats a good LAN party, nothing.

Well it can be more fun if your party is all males or all females, depending on your gender and interests,

I am a girl and just made me an account. My bf got me addicted. I was playing with these guys and people on my own team were clowning on me for being a one. I don't care if you are a 25 or a 1 you had to start were I am at now. They were very mean to me. I know that I am going to get spanked but I am going to try my hardest. I think that all should remeber it is just a game and don't be so quick to judge.

it really is funny when you have the thirty years old or 10yr old screaming at you saying u suck u suck yet you come back and they just either shut up at lobby or they say play me one on one and you pawn them or they keep talking trash cause they are mad. not all americans are the annoying ones however stereotypically (bad spelling) we are cause yea in truth many are annoying not all though like me.

I love the satisfaction of owning them and knowing they are pissed as hell like in a game i dont try and they just annoy me, so..i kick up my game and start owning them in hardcore (lvl 25, using friends account) and they just rant saying u have auto aim or double shot or w/e when im a legit and dont do that crap.

Hey the past two British people I've met weren't exactly "angels" either. One of them would't stop calling me a certain name when he found out I was black (I'll let you guys guess what he kept calling me.)

The point is- it doesn't matter where someone comes from because lots of people are jerks. After two years of playing this we should have realized this by now.

Whether you're from the United States, United Kingdom, Asia, Africa, wherever. People are people. Some are good, others are asses.

That being said, yes, people take the game too seriously. It gets annoying from time to time but I just remember it's them getting all worked up over a double kill so to each his own I guess.

You can always mute them anyways.
