When your friends don't take care of their halo discs, and they keep getting dirty disc errors.

Trying to find some friends that are obsessed with the game as much as myself, also trying to find some that are actually a challenge ;)

when people brag or think their the best because they get the most kills in a ctf game, especially if they had no part in helping score or defend the base

I agree. I had this one kid on my team for a CTF at sidewinder. He's a crack shot with a sniper, but he's also an idiot. He sniped them at their base as soon as they spawned over and over and over, dispite our screams about teamwork and wasting ammo. Grrrr.
Oh ya. We lost.

and in king of the hill when your teammates just stand around and rack up kills, but only have like 11 seconds. then when i have around 11 mintes and got first place, they brag that they were the best cuz they had 489 kills even though they are last place.

but i guess a person like that might help the team a little in king of the hill, but not really, so who cares.

Gernade bastards, gernade asses, call then what you like. I hate them all. It takes no skill to lob a dozen gernades and kill someone. *mutters*

I feel sorry for you. That happened to me once. But this passed weekend I didn't invite 1 person and I had 11 people over. Stupid thing is that I'm the only 1 smart enough about electronics that I had to set up every TV, Cord, and get everyone set up. That's the crappy part, but actually getting to play for that 3 hours is the greatest and it's way more than worth it. Oh and BTW we played 8 hours that night...yay.

Hey Banshee Barron, I think you have no skill with grenades. I'll take you out with my pistol as I please but you can't hide from my grenades. I'll ricochet one right up your ass and laugh as you whine about it.

Ah ya even teams are hard to find. it was 4-7 CTF on battle creek (dont know why) and we won cause I was the only 1 that knew about the window in the red base. They couldn't ever find me cause I was invisible. Kinda funny. I got all 3 caps and the game was over in 5 minutes. If people would actually buy boxes and get good then it'd always be even. They're just cheap and come to your house whenever.

The most annoying thing for me, is when you're engaged with another person, and a lesser skilled player shows up and kills you. Then they brag because they think they r0x0rs, when really they sux0rs. It's soooo irritating.

The most annoying thing that ever happened to me at a LAN is this time one of my buddies decided it would be fun to spray us and all of our xboxes with a fire extinguisher...we lived, but my xbox didn't. :-(

------YOU CAN'T TAKE A GIRL TO THE LIBRARY!------

people who need to break after every single game for a smoke or whatever

people who won't play maps outside thier few favorites

getting enough good tvs together. one team is on a big screen other people are on some 19" tv that doesn't even have rca jacks with a weird green bleed in one of the corners.

#30) Ok, I really don't mind the people that take "breaks" (if we have plenty of players around)
...
But, I do hate it when they, the ones on "break" are playing another game...
#31) or- talking loudly while we play the next game.

#32) The people that NEVER bring drinks... but always drink!
#33) The people that NEVER bring eats... but always eat!
#34) These same people that do not throw the trash into the trash! (on the floor?! WTFIT?)

you guys have had some good ones. i'm going to have to reiterate some of them.

when things take forever to get started because no one (except me) is willing to exert the effort to set up all the xbox's. bunch of lazy @sses.

when we have to take breaks for people that whine about being hungry, having to smoke, having to use the bathroom. no grit.

when half of the people come down with a sudden case of sand in their v@gina, and playing is stopped because people want to leave after a 5 hour session because they have to go to work/school early the next day, or are just "tired" of playing. absolutely no heart.

people who do nothing but kill in non-slayer games, and brag about how many kills they got in their losing effort. wow, that REALLY pisses me off. there's a reason it's not called slayer.

people who don't communicate in team games. especially in CTF when you're looking for the enemy flag bearer, and someone finds him, says "found him," then dies and says nothing more. WELL, WHERE THE F&@% IS HE?!?

dirty disc errors.

when you're forced to play team games in the same room, and the other team keep screen hacking your team. dirty sons of...

when the bloody ethernet cable just isn't long enough.

when you get stuck on the crappy, circa 1980's, barely color, 19" tv with 3 other guys.

when you start the game looking at the wrong quadrant of the tv screen and get pasted by the worst player in the universe.

when the worst player in the universe can't let go of the fact that he killed you, even though his only kill was because of what happened in the previous statement.

when someone spills beer all up in your xbox.

when some drunken bastard trips over the hub, or the power strip.

I feel bad because I am the kind of guy who likes to kill in CTF games, and usually has 2x the kills of the next person down :-/

However, my teamusually wins. So, what the people I play with do is give me the people who just learned how to play and they take all of the good players. I still win a good amount of the time with those, too
