Playing Spartan Ops recently, I was pretty pissed by the amount of unsporting assbags you encounter online. They exist everywhere as any semi-experienced gamer knows, but man, I've never seen so much at once. Roughly 1 in 3 games would have one guy who would destroy your vehicles and proceed to try and betray you for the game's duration.

I mean seriously? Do you think there are good sports in gaming these days? Has it declined or did it never exist? How do you feel about it? Where do you draw the line for unsportsmanlike behaviour?

Just thought I'd bring up the topic.

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

There are a few gems among the pebble dash

I'll congratulate someone if I think they did really good

I don't care about them. I just ignore them and finish the game. Then I know I will never see them again.

Dude What.

There are times where I will intentionally bring it upon myself to make sure that someone in the game has an absolutely horrible experience. I only do it if they start to 'troll' first, though.

I'm a good sport. Yes.

Sometimes I am tempted to quit gaming. I can no longer play without seeing ponyphags, horrendously bad teammates and mexicans.

Gaming community, I want you to know that you suck.

Incomprehensible gibberish.

I play for fun which is directly correlated to winning. So I don't think i'm ruining anybody's fun, that is, unless i'm killing them 5x in a row.

I dont try to piss people off, but on occasion I still do. I try to be a good sport most of the time.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

I try to be a great sport. If I see a guy on the other team trying to team kill another player on his own team, I will kill the betrayer and leave the other guy alone.

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

There's only one rule in online gaming...

Don't -blam!- with Dragonzzilla.

1.) "Crack In Time" - Louder Production Music
2.) "Agressive Sucks" - Moss Landing
3.) Custom Version of "Meet Oscar" - Louder Productions Music
4.) "Behind You Rise" - Distortion Music
5.) "Aurora" - Mark Petrie
6.) "Surge Down - Audio Machine

I had the same problem as you OP.

In SPOPS, I used the warthog and had a marine gunning in the back, and my teammate blasts me with a rocket. I get another hog, does it again.

I do consider myself a good sport, but if needed I'll fight dirty.
