Subject: Why do you guys take this game so seriously?

Herroh. U have reached teh BOOGIE LAND

T4R

It's not like you are getting paid to win or do well. Your "stats" aren't going to help you in any way in life. What even more baffles me is when someone gets called "bad", they take serious offense to it. I mean if someone told me I am bad (which I'm pretty bad), I couldn't give a flying two -blam!-s on it. You guys go as far to criticize your teammates for not being on your level, and then RAGE when your teammates lose the game for you. You guys attack someone for using a certain tactic, and then continue to RAGE in anger. I am pretty sure mosst of you play to escape the many stresses from life, but by playing this game, you are creating even MORE stress for yourself.

So let me ask you the question again....Why do you guys take this game so seriously?

The thing is, if someone is trying to escape stress, they probably have pent-up anger, which may even lead to poor decisions, which they may not recognize as poor decisions, blame others, and, due to their previous anger, believe themselves to be the self-righteous Savior of their team, believing that they are being held back by those on his team,who are the peons of their world, due "inferior,' skill, which can easily be translated into Mr. High-And-Mighty not being able to work well with others.

Or, I might just speculate too much. It's whatever.

Reach now is about as serious as Social Slayer.

This sig will Self-Destruct in 3.... 2.... 1.... Thank you for your time. Cookie?

I sometimes take offense when I'm called bad, but usually I have bad games so sometimes the comment is legitimate.

People tend to be very serious and easily offended in any type of situation where you can't see the people you're yelling at. Reach is no different from many other online communities (though it's a hell of a lot more polite than CoD's), so there's no changing the amount of asshats you're likely to meet in this game.

Loading...

Playing to win and be the best they can be at the game is probably why most people play but there are those who just want to have some fun.

I play to mostly to get better at the game and dont insult any players on either team regardless of their skill at the game or the outcome of any match.

I dont even care about stats. I just want ppl to have a good time while we play.

Define "successful".

You're all bad.


How about GM at the age of 20, maybe 21 depending how long the training takes, and only 2 years with the company?

Anyone who claims the AR takes skill ought to shoot himself in the head. Preferably with the AR because they'll most likely miss with any other weapon.
