Ever played with a foul-mouth? have you had enough of his extremist Bull-blam!-? how do you handle them?
I myself played with one guy the other day, he thought he was better than everyone in halo! of course if he only had stopped and keep his eyes on his portion of the screen .. it would of been a much different story!

It upset me so much that i couldnt contain my anger towards his -blam!- attitude. Its only a game!!

I agree with '-blam!-yov'. Quite whining about some boastful guy with a large ego and a big mouth. After all: "Its only a game!". I very much doubt that you've played Halo and never been a little boastful about your ability. I bet everyone has done it at least once.

The best way to get back at these 'big heads' is to try and kill them in the most embarrassing way possible or try to win the entire game. For some reason, this shuts them up. If you can't do that then you deserve a big headed opponent who boasts due to the fact that he owns you at Halo in every way, shape and form.

On a minor Note... I did Defeated him in a match.. yes he hut up.. then he wanted a rematch.. I said ok... And man.. Was he the most horrible Person to play with? he won the match foir about only 5 kills ahead of me. He called me a F--- and left. Now please do tell me That was Arrogance at most. And dont get me wrong here, I have not been defeated in a one on One ever.. this guy did it only once.. and his conduct was completely out of place. ANyways.. I hate his guts.

As my friend would suggest:

'You should have hit him with a brick' or something like that.

Or as I'd often like to say to irate guys:

'Calm down, here's some chloroform.'

sumtimes people really get into the game, and looking on other people's screens can't be prevented unless you get a system link, so suck it up and if he looks on your screen, look at his and kick his ass

Heh, I remember a good while back, I was playing against some guy who said a bunch of crap of how good he is at halo, how he's gonna pwn me at whatnot (1v1 slayer mind you) And as the first round started, he used the Assault rifle almost the whole time! (Course i was using the pistol mostly), I didnt say anything until the match was over. Then I said "so about that pwning thing...." And he just sat there for a minute, said "Fck That" and left.

See, Being arrogant is one thing, but being obnoxious with style is a totally different thing

  • 06.29.2004 9:31 PM PDT

Be better than him all the time. It works wonders.

OMG SHUT UP YOU BABY,

Jesus dont get online man, it's filled with gloating arrogant -blam!-s... MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE... dont take things so personaly, he'll forget sooner than you will.

If you have a problem with idiot gloaters squelch him and if you're so cut up about it stop playing.

Man... where the -blam!- do you come from, Happy Valley.....

You guys are some of the saddest people i've ever met, have you ever played sports? ITS FILLED WITH HOT HEAD MORONS.... come on, you people sicken me...( some of you )

Dude, next time someone gives you grief give it back, and if its not in your personality to be rude then leave the room and make a nice cup of tea and relax. Most of the people on this forum are total noobs but still gloat like hero's. Forget them, you know as well as i do that no one here believes half the -blam!- that is said here.

Chill-out

There's a very simple solution to all of this.

There once was a guy who said "Treat others the way you'd want to be treated." Of course, every word that ever came out of that guy's mouth got distorted by his arrogant disciples and eventually disintegrated into homicidal dogma, but let's assume for the sake of argument that it's true.

If some petulant cretin is treating his opponents like dirt, he's asking for it. Fairly simple. He's handing you a Get Out Of Jail Free card. He's essentially saying "Yes, I would like to get my arse handed to me with a sprig of parsley." So hand it to him. The parsley is optional, of course.

1. Plasma grenade to the face from across the map.

2. Melee to the back while he's camping (you do know how to stay off the motion tracker, right?).

3. Cross-map pistol headshot.

4. One word: Killtacular.

Don't say a word. Don't even crack a smile. Just look totally relaxed and maybe reach for some chips when you're out of a firefight. If he cheats, then cheat on him. By cheating, he's saying it's ok. So throw it back at him:

"You're looking at my screen!"

"How do you know?"

"You knew where I was hiding!"

<pause for effect>

"Oh, so that's how you did that..."

Just keep your wits about you and your skills in good condition. A silver tongue doesn't hurt either.

Ya the best strategy is to just ignore the guy and eventually he will stop if he thinks that it doesn't bother you.

Ignoring people doesn't really work. They tell you that in grade school to cut down on the playground injuries. Generally, ignoring someone only makes him try harder to piss you off, until he eventually crosses some invisible line and wakes up a week later with a controller cord running the length of his digestive tract.

In a world where people will flame you for a week if you use the word "-blam!-" wrong, the old "sticks and stones" mantra is a little outdated...

Besides, anyone who invests that much of his ego in a game - even one as amazing as Halo - has to have something to hide. Your verbally abusive opponent has a weak spot somewhere, and if he's as intellectually inferior as your description is making him sound, it shouldn't be too difficult to find. Real competition will probably intimidate him, and if you're lucky enough to know a chick who could own his degenerate carcass, set them up. If she's smart, not only will she rip him a new one, but she'll also destroy his will to live.

"Where's Dave?"

"He's hanging out in the old barn."

"Hanging out?"

"Well, alright. Just hanging."

Ya getting a girl to beat him would be awesome...

The thing I hate the most is when somebody who is not even in the game looks over your shoulder and tells you how crappy you are.

So let him play in your place and see how that affects your score. If he does better than you, sit down and shut up. If he sucks, take the controller back and let him boil in his own frustration.

Your worth as a Halo-player should be based solely on your skill, not your ability to comment on someone else's skill.

So make it perfect. If you are beyond reproach, everyone else will have to elevate themselves to your standards to avoid becoming sharkbait.

This is why I loathe other gamers.

If any of that seems familiar to you, keep your psychological defects out of my LAN parties.

I'm looking back at those last few posts and it seems I came across as a bit hostile. For that I apologize. It's easy to lose self-control when discussing a topic like this. Try not to take any of it personally, y'all...

Please?
