Sure, Halo had been out for a long time now, but as an Xbox Live customer I do have a right to complain.

This is not a case of me being bad and complaining about it, nor do I claim to be the best at Halo, it's just annoying and immature to see. If a professional athlete is being immature on TV, he's blasted for it within mainstream media. This goes for overly aggressive trash talking. A little ribbing is fine, but don't go overboard with it.


That is all.


It's your fault if you keep dying. Just don't die, and they can't teabag you. Simply.

And when he never dies, he will -blam!- and moan about teammates jumping on his head and crouching >_>

Xbox Live is run by Micro$oft NOT Bungie complaining here will do nothing, here you have no rights, so go to a M$ forum and complain.
That is all.

trash talking is a major part of gaming you cant have a video games with some fatty on the other side of the world trolling you if you cant deal with it stop playing...


Lol @ this apparent "sentence."

OP: While I agree that tea-bagging is usually immature, there are some instances in which I will do it.

If you let it be known that tea-bagging bothers you, or if you even allow it to bother you, then you'll face it much more often. Most people tea-bag to get in their opponent's heads, and by allowing it to bother you, you're letting the enemy gain an advantage on you. Just realize that their actions have absolutely no effect whatsoever, and move on.

A musicians life is a hard life...a drummers life is just unfair.

i couldn't agree more SirSire, simply rise above the act and don't let it anger you. it has no effect on your gameplay. I have fallen victim to this always by kids.

Take a step back with me and enjoy a taste of the bittersweet that is our current generation.

I enjoy Battlefield and Call of Duty, and Gears of War.

20 years old, manager of my family's business, aspiring officer of the law.

I love anything political.

This thread is a joke. Halo isn't under the definition of sport, so the athlete analogy is out of the question.

Furthermore, you are posting because you are angry, and it because it lights a little fire under your ass as well.

Conclusion and solution. There is nothing offensive about pressing the crouch button in a video game, nor is it unsporting, it's merely an animation from pressing the crouch button.

Without reading anything other than the OP my opinion on "Corpse-Humping/Teabagging":

I do it back, but I don't go out of my way to do so.
It doesn't bother me.

Much like my roommate did here: Retalitation is fun apparently.

You need Xbox Live to play Halo 3. 'soft also owns the Halo franchise as they bought it from Bungie.

Therefore, as a customer I'll post this so long as I don't violate the TOS. You do realize how that works, right? Of course you do, but this thread isn't about you, it's about advocating sportsmanship. I don't care if my thread upsets you, not my fault. This is what this forum is for.

But I never called Halo a sport, I'm saying, that because athletes have to show it, then there really is no reason that we shouldn't show it.

LMFAO If I ever play a game with you, I'm gonna bag the -blam!- out if you if it means you're gonna whine on the B.Net forums about how some meanie in Halo 3 put his pixel-balls in your pixel-mouth again.

Like people have said, you're the reason we do it. You know what the people who have previously teabagged you (and KNOW it) would be thinking if they read this thread?
Either "LMFAO what an ass" or "Wow are you -blam!- serious? lol".


That implies I haven't been calm. Last time I checked, people who advocate proper etiquette in online games were the ones who are not rude. Whenever someone talks trash, I ask calmly "There a reason for that?". Truth hurts, buddy. But I'm sure you'll get over it.

You can read emotion in text? Please try hard to read things properly and don't post in a thread if you can't.

What would you have them do? Take out crouching?

Seriously, a lot of the time they're TRYING to get a rise out of you, so if it makes you mad, then they win.

On a related note, everyone knows that the classy guys switch to plasma pistol and punch your corpse in the junk.

In soviet B.net you don't delete the flood, the flood deletes you.

If the following has ever happened to you on the flood: been butthurt, offended, angry from someone's post, feel like Nerd Raging . . . you have the right to SHUT UP

Also, if you play Reach this is YOU

Learn to adapt or gtfo Halo 3, didn't you read the label? Its rated M for Mature.



Lolol, complaining about corpse-humping =/= immature.

Actually, it makes me mature FOR NOT participating in it and making sure I usually say "GG" after every match.

I'll say how I feel, it's not being butthurt. Sorry. It's called being irritated. I'm irritated by the lack of maturity from people like you. :D!



yeah I'm the immature one while you are here complaining about something completely irrelevant and pointless in a video game.

Need to stop nerd raging a bit more and just play the game. If it offends you then don't play.

Simple. As. That.

Not a troll. I just want proper sportsmanship.


This is what a forum is for, it's not like I'm posting "LULZ TBAGIN SUKS" followed by other gibberish. Reread the starting post.

There is no profanity, there is no poorly spelled words, and there is no random "lulz". I'm advocating good sportsmanship. Hey, if most of the player-base wasn't immature while performing the action, then this thread wouldn't exist. I remember, while playing Halo 1 with some buddies, corpse-humping would happen, but it wasn't done to be rude.

The issue of rudeness over Halo isn't a new thing, but that doesn't mean we should just take it.

Gah, I've been playing halo since CE and T-bagging is just part of the game! Really, it's nothing to be trolling about! You have security issues if you get offended by being humped on a video game. Really?

I'm not trolling.

I only get angry when there is rudeness. Most (not all) corpse-humpers are rude. Nothing wrong with it being in jest.

One thing that you need to realize is that not everyone plays the game with the same sense of 'sportsmanship' as what you consider appropriate. Trying to enforce your view of shall we say 'proper gaming etiquette' means nothing to the masses, but it is simply your own perspective. Maybe lightening up a little and just not putting undue stress on something that really is only intended as a taunt or a harmless 'ha gotcha' in a game is far less offensive than the belligerent rants, inappropriate comments, and many of the intended offensive things found on some peoples' XBL profiles.

The whole reason anyone would get upset about getting t-bagged is because they got beat and offended by being shown that they were beat, or are just a little too uptight about something that in all reality means nothing. But again, trying to force your view of right seriously has no merit in this since what they are doing is not actually wrong.

How is one T-bag more rude than the other? Seriously?
