I reckon your thoughts are worth far more than two cents.
Of course, you are correct, Sir, everyone has seen examples of both. I have dealt with quite a few thumb monkies, many young, some older, all together no fun to be around. Especially when they tend to be dirty players. You may be inclined to agree, that taken as a whole, this sub-culture brings the gaming community down to the lowest common denominator, regardless of the efforts of good players.
As one example, I tried Black Ops once. No fun when, as a Veteran, I know how to shoot and maneuver, yet got trounced by idiots jumping around like it was Halo. Same with Battlefield, yet they brag how they are the most realistic. Not from my experience, when I have to do a mag dump into a hostile with an M16A4 at less than ten meters to take him out.
5.56 has its faults, but it is a lot more effective than THAT. Even from an M4 carbine.
I feel the only credible Infantry combat simulator is ArmA, but I am not in a position to play that.
At least here, I mostly know what to expect, so it is my own fault if I get blasted. Still frustrating, as I am only a man with an ego like everyone else.
I doubt there is any real solution available, other than playing exclusively with friends, which I have taken to as often as possible.
At least the community is large enough that ne'er do wells can be avoided with minimal difficulty. I just happen to be of the belief that it should not be necessary at all.
Again, just my opinion . . . I could be wrong.
I know where you're coming from, I too, have encountered a lot of guys that make Call of Duty seem like Halo and vice versa, and I take it as my responsibility to troll the heck out of them just to give them a taste of their own medicine. Like this guy I met while playing Living Dead on Pinnacle. The dude was obsessed with K/D and kept betraying me (mind you, it was a couple of days after the boot option was disabled) and so, he kept killing me time and time again, trying to get a reaction out of me.
I simply laughed and shot him after the (probably, cannot really remember) 20th betrayal, he died and was promptly infected before rage quitting. The fact that the guy spent so much time trying to get a negative reaction out of me, not actually focusing on the game was a proof of how low the behavior of online gaming has dropped. Whereas some years ago one played to win a game while having fun, now most people just care about annoying others, effectively ruining both theirs and their victims gaming experiences.
I would suggest playing Crysis 2 (In my brief time playing) I didn't stumble across any griefer of any sorts, besides, the gameplay is a mix between Halo and Call of Duty, so you should feel a little familiarity. By any means, feel free to add me as a friend if you ever feel like playing some Halo: Reach or Anniversary (although with the coding used in that game, our gaming time would be less than pleasant due to the massive delay in campaign), or pretty much any other game.
My gamertag is o 055 o (the one in the middle is a zero, the other two are o's) and I look forward to playing with you.
And same could be said about your opinion, it's definitely more than two cents.
