XBOX Live = poor sportsmanship (potty mouth)

[captain nintendo]

(Took place while playing Halo2)

So last night me and a clan member are just screwing around in the training grounds and we get beat by a team at territory. No big deal , its not ranked and the other team did a good job. In the post game review of stats I tell the blue team they did a good job and thanks for playing. Well then this guy from the other team just goes off calling us Fu**ers and all sorts of stuff. We stay clam and collected and tell him that he is an idiot and we would beat them at a slayer match easily. He continues swearing tyraid for a while longer and says "fine I know we will beat you *insert bad thing here*) So we take them to a menu and start slayer , we end up beating them like 50 - 22. Again we say nice game it was fun playing with you. The guy is biting his tounge.... (I can tell) He quickly challenges us again and ask if they can add another member. So we allow it and I get tynstar online at this point. Well we beat them again by a 2 - 1 margin. (like 50 - 25) He challenges us again and we whoop up on then=m again by the same score. Again I say nice game , thanks for playing. He then goes off on us and threatens us , ask me where I lived (I told him that would be a mistake) Anyhow , we ended up botting them and giving him negative feedback for language and threats.

My question is to you guys ..... Have you had issues with morons like this ?
(P.S. I doubt this guy is a dp board member. He is way too ignorant)

Oh yeah , and no offense to the younger members of DP , but I really hate playing against trash talking 10 year olds. Not that we have any 10 year olds on Dp (or do we?)

[Nez]

God this is why I don't play on line anymore. Warcraft 3 was just like this, no one won or lost with ny dignity. But I cant remember any off the top of my head becouse they occured all too often.

[Flack]

The one time I played online I just had a 10 year old kid screaming "I OWNED YOU I OWNED YOU!" over and over in my ear.

[Sniderman]

Precisely why I'll never have an online console expereince. Too many assclowns with sh!tty social skills out there.

[buttasuperb]

my clan is horrible at the game and when we lose, we tell them they got owned and this and that. if they do respond, they get called faggots and a whole bunch of other shit. it's great hearing people get mad over nothing.

[buttasuperb]

Precisely why I'll never have an online console expereince. Too many assclowns with sh!tty social skills out there.

your loss. voice/headset is not needed to play online.

[ddockery]

THis is exactly why I don't use the voice stuff unless I'm playing with friends. I have no desire to talk to random idiots. I only play slayer games anyway, as I can't stand teaming up with people I've never met when they usually turn out to be idiots.

[Retsudo]

Do I go through that? All the time while playing Socom 2. And thats not all. You have racist clans out there too. I dont pay them any mind though.

[Speedy]

It's not only Xbox Live, it's is online gaming in total. 5 years ago i played online HLDM very often, and so now and then a bit Countstrike, but when the beta nr's became higher the age of the players became lower and their respect also. That's why i quit online gaming. Last week i connected my new Xbox to Live (trail card) and the second game i had there was already some moron (he sounded like an 10 year old) that thought that he could use his headset to dump al his frustrations or so. Luckely there was an great option in Halo 2 wich turns of the voices of other gamers, find that option and enjoy the game! :D

[SegaTecToy]

I don't even bother playing online anymore. Finding a player who is polite and a good person is harder than finding gold in your backyard. Sadly a good number of these people don't even have the excuse of being dumb kids, they're 25-40 years old men acting like 8 years old brats.

[Kejoriv]

I HATE that so much. I use the mute button too when I play online. Except when Im playing friends. Dont you love 12 or 13 year olds calling you a fag or a motherf_cker cause you just kicked his ass in a game?

[Sniderman]

Yup. If you wouldn't dare say that sitting next to me on the counch for fear of me bustin' in your teeth, there's no reason for you to be screaming it in my ear when you're nicely anonymous and half-way across the country. Even the text-based taunts on some of the earlier stuff would piss me off. When I'm playing a game, I don't need a player-controlled character screaming "Assfag!" every 4 seconds. x_x

Here. This bears reposting:

[thegreatescape]

Wow, I always thought that the chances of listening to a 'busive player were slim when they had to say it and not type it, but judging by the other responses it sounds less than uncommon :/

Of course in Enemy Territory we would just /callvote mute player and then nobody has to put up with it. Democracy is great :D

Next time it happens, just have a sound byte from Mc Hammer- cant touch this ready to play into the mic.
Comms Rage + Mc Hammer = Head a splode (it makes a kinda "kersplat" sound on their mic, followed by silence).

[Lady Jaye]

BTW, speaking of online playing, can you usually have access to private, invite-only salons? This is the only way that I'm interested in playing online: against my friends, not some strangers...

[Ed Oscuro]

Come on guys, I LOVE all the badmouthing that goes on! Granted, I'm not paying a monthly fee when I can go play a PC game and get it for just the price of the game.

[SegaAges]

i rarely ever play games online, but it is super funny when they get all pissed that you took them to school.

whenever somebody tried to mouth off to me, i simply say, " does this mean you want a rematch?"

[captain nintendo]

Yes you can change the settings of your party to invite only. The only reason I was playing with that moron was to put him in his place. :evil:

[slip81]

I just started playting games online with Xbox, and my experience hasn't been too bad yet (playing Crimson Skies and OutRun 2), the people have been polite. Though there was this one guy in OutRun who was swearing and calling the race leaders dirty motherf_ckers, because I guess they were bashing him off the road (I think it was the lag and not the players actually), anyway he dropped out of the race quickly and that was the end of that.

[brykasch]

Hell there are smacktards everywhere in this world, people just are more so on the net because of anonymity. I use my headset, but if it gets annoying I mute the person. I play online quite a bit, and I do find the morons, but the nice people I have found far outweigh them. It seems to me anyways that fps's tend to be the breeding ground for these folks.

I agree with your statement 100% While I may run across 1 or 2 asses , the good players do outwiegh them. I always try to say good game to the other team even when my ass gets handed to me.

[bargora]

I hear these horror stories quite frequently, especially regarding Halo 2. The only online game I've played, though, is Steel Battalion: Line of Contact. And overall (with a couple of notable exceptions) the experience in that game was surprisingly civil.

[joshnickerson]

There's an occasional segment on X-Play, called "It Came From Xbox Live", where they basically just record all the idiotic ramblings from Live players and set them to extremely cheap animation and make fun of them. LOL

[Kepone]

Sounds pretty bad to me. LOL

I personally do not like online gaming. It's great when you're playing against your friends. However, complete strangers tend to cheat and use foul language.

The only online game I've ever played is Postal 2 for the PC.

[EricRyan34]

YEah, whenever I play Madden online I get a lot of sore losers. Always quitting after turning over the ball in the 4th quarter down by a couple touchdowns.

[jaybird]

I never use my headset unless I'm playing with friends.

For one, 95% of the people I don't want to talk to because they're either foul mouthed, bad sports or just breath in your ear.

Two, it's easier for me to concentrate without having to worry about holding a conversation.

[digitalpress]

Precisely why I'll never have an online console expereince. Too many assclowns with sh!tty social skills out there.

Believe me, I know how you feel. HOWEVER...

XBox Live has a sort of "buddy list", so you can store all of your pals in there, see what they're playing and (usually) join in. There are dozens of DP'ers on Xbox Live ALREADY, there's a "tidy list of gamertags" in the Classic Discussion forum as well. I use this as a kind of good sellers list, for online gaming :)

I've been telling people almost the same thing as your first post, Captain N: kids have some mouthes on them out there. There are plenty of good people, but there are more than enough to ruin the experience when you try to play "cold" against random players.

[davidleeroth]

The one time I played online I just had a 10 year old kid screaming "I OWNED YOU I OWNED YOU!" over and over in my ear.

My only online experience was propably against the same kid.

[dethink]

yeah, my experience with XBL was pretty much the same, except for TOCA2 and burnout 3.

project gotham 2 was more of the "damn, i'm muthafuckin tizzite yo i owned yo ass! let's play cat and mouse now*!" coming from a 12 year old white kid.

*by far my biggest pet peeve online.

[bargora]

Can you normally hear all of your opponents during an Xbox Live game? In SB, the usual game mode has opposing teams facing off against each other, so once the VT selection screen comes up you only communicate with your teammates, both during the match and in the post-game lobby. So no "i pwn3d u l0ser hahaha!!". At least until you see them in the entrance lobby prior to the next match. By which time better sense has usually had a chance to kick in.

There is a deathmatch mode, but you can only communicate with players that are close to you on the game map. Furthermore, your communication cuts off the instant you are destroyed, and for at least a few seconds until you respawn (even if you have the bad sense to respawn right next to the guy who fragged you, which is just inviting him to spawn-kill you). Hence any immediate post-frag gloating is generally wasted. The gloater would have to find you again on the map, by which point you should already be putting a few vengeful rounds in his butt.

Finally, even if you get into a match with an asshat, SB gives you the option to mute individual players. Isn't that option available in all games?

Ditto. I haven't used my Live headset to play with strangers in ages. Only if I am playing friends. I have noticed that some people on here have added me to their friends list on Live. I really haven't had time to play much lately but hopefully can get in touch with you guys soon. :)

[racecar]

i've experiece this with alor of my ps2 online game (knockout kings2004)...the guy on the other side just keep on swearing so i took off the head set and knock him out(in the game) LOL ...now i don't even use the head set anymore for most of my online games.

[petewhitley]

I'm on Xbox Live most every night and rarely have such experiences. Why? I've built up a large friends-list of adult players. Virtually any game I play I've got someone I know playing and I join their game or invite them to mine. I boot loudmouths, and if my friends don't boot loudmouths I boot them off my friends-list. You can permanently mute players as well, and that effect will last over repeated playings. Moreso than any other online service, Xbox Live has many built-in features to avoid the scenario you describe. Hurrah for Xbox Live!

Being as I am relatively new to xbox live I am still building my friends list. And playing in matches against people you dont know is sometimes the only way to build a big friends network :/ All my current friens dont put up with idiots and I think my group is going to stay this way :) We only have 1 member in my clan who is younger than 20. Not that all teens are spastic morons mind you ;) I have played with a few younger players who played with manors.

[ubersaurus]

Most of the time on Halo2, I've found people just leave the room as quick as they can to get to another game. Of course, the ones that DO shittalk, they always get lambasted by my squad. No one shit talks like Tomato Fountain LOL

[Sosage]

I never use my headset unless I'm playing with friends.

Same here. I NEVER turn the headset on. I could stand the shit talk when it was just text in games like Quake/Counter Strike (there is a detachment when it is text anyways…so it takes on a special silliness all its own that voice communication does not), but having to listen to these assclowns in my ear is too much.

Semi on topic: My best online experience was playing with the Japanese a couple of months before the American version of Phantasy Star Online hit. They were the nicest people I’d ever run into on an online game. Ever. Gave me items. Helped me out in situations where people would usually be complete assholes. Waited for, and guided me, whenever I got lost. Congratulated each other whenever anyone leveled up. There wasn’t one instance where even one person was trying to talk shit, take advantage of someone, or ruin the experience for everyone else. Everyone was there to have fun and enjoy the experience, not use it as their own little soapbox for either showing off their unique cussing skills or as a ready supply of real people to lash out and hurt because of personal issues.

When the American release hit, I stuck my copy of the game on the shelf and never let it spin in my Dreamcast again. The assholes had come to town, and it was time to move on (not that all of us Americans are assholes…but we do seem to breed a lot of the world’s jerks). Weren’t people stealing stuff within the first week of the U.S release (I don’t remember stealing going on prior…or if it was, it wasn’t rampant enough for me to hear about it...crap...that was almost five years ago!?!?)?

*sigh*...I loved those two months... :(

[ScottK]

Trash-talking and the like, have always been in online gaming. The technology has gotten better over time. For example, I was playing Halo 2 online last night and a fellow teammate stated attacking me and other teammates. Luckily for me, I got notified of the betrayal and all I had to do was press the "X Button" and it kicked the player out of the game. Options like these make things so much easier. I love the trash talking to a certain extent. In the old days I used to hate playing online, but now I love it.
I used to hate Playing Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast and some mofo would use a cheat and freeze everyone in the room and steal their crap. Or on Xband when you were winning a match and the other person pulled the plug on you. Now things are better where it is harder for people to cheat and connections don't get lost much anymore. Just ignore the trash talking and add respectable people to your buddy list as there still are good people to talk to.

I'd rather be in a room full of trash talkers then a room full of French speaking people, heh. At least I can understand the language.

[E Nice]

Trash talkers aren't limited to FPS's games on Xbox Live. You'll find them from Whacked! to Pro Fishing Challenge (actually this one was just some guy verbally assualting someone). I use the headset, to hear what the others say, and occassionally if I have something to say, which isn't often. There are still people who'll pull their connections or drop if they'll lose but another pet peeve on XBox Live is those who kick you from the room if you don't talk.
So you have trash talkers who are showing they're insecurity about something and then you have people booting out laconic players simply because they have some desire for someone to validate their existance. :roll:

[IcewynG]

Guess my experience hasn't been too bad with online games... sure there is the occasionnal "I pwn3d Joo!" Player but I guess the fact I play mostly in the morning just have those ppl at school/at work. :)

I just ignore them, say good game and leave. I think there is no point into giving them any kind of attention. My buddy list is starting to grow so I guess I'll be able to stick with some of my friends soon enough... provided I can play in the evening and my GF hands me over the TV ;)

The only thing I really hate is how teamwork seems to be lacking in Big Team Battle and Team Skirmish. I am a team player but it seems ppl tends to be solos in those game types. Guess I need to join a clan... Heh. ;)

I hear that on the team stuff. I seriously never play those unless I have the majority of the teams people I know and play with. Like, 3 people for a skirmish, and such forth. Almost nobody knows how to play objective based games.

Kevin-playing for 2 weeks and STILL hasn't won a single Teamball match.

[ianoid]

Here. This bears reposting:


Sniderman to the rescue.

Really, I don't want to play online with randoms. It's mostly 14 year olds who have more spare time left in their teenagedom than I'll have for the rest of my life. The idea is to stick to folks you know or like. I think that the way to play xbox live for me would be to enter the list of DP folks there and limit online activity to them.

I don't even beat people. I suck. I just want to play games with friends.

If Xbox Live had an anthem, the words 'make you my bitch' would probably have to be included.

[Emily]

My bro just got Xbox Live, and he ONLYplays Halo 2. No matter how many games by BF gets that are online compatable, the little fags not interested in even trying int! (no offence to you true fags out there ^^; )
But all I hear is a bunch of little kids ,boners, and racists shrieking through the TV, there seems to be a high concentration of assholes playing this game. It was actually pretty funny listening to a 12 year old argue with a Racist, though i hope he got bad feedback big time. :2gunfire:

[EnemyZero]

yeah after a weak of rainbow six and 8 year olds swearing at me and booting me when i kick there asses, just got annoying, now i dont use xbox live

[LiquidX01]

The only game on XBL will the most amount of shit talkers for me is Halo 2.

I dont care if and when they talk crap, It dont bother. I mean, if they catch a chubby one by talking shit to someone....well thats their problem. :/

[Overbite]

this is why i ONLY play with goons on live. 90% of the live population are either

1. Loud
2. Racist
3. a kid
4. Stupid
5. any combination of the above

Goons are nice, and they're also funny. Any game can be fun playing with goons :evil:

[E Nice]

I don't even beat people. I suck. I just want to play games with friends.

Same here. I play games for fun.

As for the racists online, forgot about them, been awhile since I heard one of them. I remember one on MotoGP demo online, but there were so many people talking I couldn't figure out which one was the racist to give negative feedback to, because others jumped on him when he started that drivel.

1. pacified
2. confused
3. enraged

[Six Switch]

With Halo 2 some people are cool and just say "good game" and stuff like that...then there are the morons.Maybe I am going down to their level or something but I usually feel the need to go off on the morons,and then they shut up and leave.

It 50/50 really with people online.

[pixelsnpolygons]

I read most of the responses in this thread. I have Live, but have never gone Live because of worries of meeting up with jackasses. Keep in mind I only just activated it, so obviously I want to go online soon. My question to those who mentioned not needing to use the headset - what if people are talking to you? Are there any negative problems caused from this? I heard someone say they kicked people off their deathmatch for not talking.

[kai123]

I am the same way. I am not going to sit there and take it. I never go off on anybody unless they talk shit to me first. If someone is a dick to me then I go off on them. Besides it is just the internet. No need to be afraid of strangers. They won't hunt you down or anything.

[dsullo]

I just do not plug in the headset either. People love to throw around racial remarks and comments like that. Its really disgusting. I am always hoping a parent hears them and beats the snot out of them.

[Retsudo]

Yeah it happens on all online games.
Most of the time I play games with my clan. I would say, maybe 2 days outa 5 days playing Socom 2, you come across some Dickheads.

Also I hate when little kids are playing. They always start singing real loud in the mic. If I had a 10 year old, I would'nt let him or her play Socom 2.

Most of the people who talk shit are usually punkass bitches off the net. They only do it because they can.

[Predatorxs]

The one time I played online I just had a 10 year old kid screaming "I OWNED YOU I OWNED YOU!" over and over in my ear.

But Flack did he own you?, thats the important question!! :P (Just kiddin)

I'm about to switch up my broadband to a 2meg, then get the xbox live kit! and see what happens! ;) Also i'v only played halo once and it was only for 10 mins at most and that was atleast a year back. But i'm lovin BurnOut3.

Just a question, and i don't mean to thread-jack, but does it matter to the xbox live "online system" if i'v got a modded xbox? (running evox?) i do have pretty much all retail games, i get rips to check out the game first, and i have Juiced, which is cool, it's a shame it's not gunna get a release till middle of next year :/

It's always amused me when somebody feeds some random garbage into their mic during a Counter-Strike match. You usually can't tell what it is, at all LOL

[bargora]

So I'm showing my buddy an Xbox Live game, and I'm sitting in the lobby, and the opposing team of players apparently are playing from the set of a Deliverance sequel, but one with more and cooler profanity.

My friend keeps pointing out that they are using a lot of profanity, and that they seem pretty obsessed about the game, and that they seem like "mega-geek hilljacks". I keep popping the microphone in and out of the controller, because I sometimes have things to say to the online players, and for the rest of the time it would be rude to agree with my friend that they are "brain-damaged white trash" with the microphone plugged in.

That is, until I accidentally leave the microphone in while talking to my friend, and an awkward silence ensues.

I decided it was time to play an offline game.

[calthaer]

Welcome to online gaming at its best! Precisely why multiplayer coop or deathmatch with KNOWN people is the only way to go. Massively multiplayer for the mass-market and other nonsense like that is a big disappointment.

[crazyjackcsa]

I've only expereinced Only with the DC, but I think the guysat Pa put it best (I'm not sure of the direct quote ) " The biggest problem with playing online is that you have to play with other people"

[MegaDrive20XX]

Ok Xbox Live is filled with 14 and under kids...when I played PSO on Xbox..it was friggin funny....one time this kid went on and on about Sonic the HedgeHog for 5 hours straight...the kid was 7 years old I think...drove me nuts...I turned it off and just leveled up....poor kid

[jdc]

I'm dying to see what Gran Turismo 4 will eventually bring in online. You're going to have guys on a starting line that have enough skill for a "clean" race mixed in with the ones that have to play "bumper cars" in order to have a chance at winning.

[WiseSalesman]

An amusing anecdote from Halo 2 LIVE:

We had just set it up (a few days ago), and a friend was commenting on how little trash-talking, swearing , insulting there had been . We enter a room and the one and only guy in the room with a mic says, in the most serene, non-cronfrontational, non-insulting tone of voice possible:

"Look at you. You guys are all gay. Every last one of you."

I fell off the couch laughing, then friended the guy.

Thats awesome !

I had an episode like that the other night. The guy said pretty much the same thing to us after the game and everybody was harping on him. I decided to say good game , you know you're pretty good. And you know what ..... The guy changed his tune and actually stopped being stupid. Its amazing what some common courtesy will do :)

"Rise from your grave"

(Happened while playing Halo2 on live)

So this weekend I am playing a training game and end up in a game where my team drops out on me leaving me against 4 players (2guest) Well it was assualt on Zanzibar and after I fail to score the first time the guy tells me I should quit because I wont win.

Well long story short they score once and I score to tie the game (they were trying very hard but were n00bs) I had 23 kills and like 5 deaths while they had 7 kills total (2 were from my team mates before they left)

After the game they tell me Isuck and tell me to piss off. I told them that I basically raped them but told them it was fun. I was then informed that there werte children present and should not have cursed. I appologized for using the rape word. They then pointed out I was American and I suck (blah,blah,blah) They also promised to come across the "Pond" and kick my A$$....LOL

But anyhow I asked them where they were from and they said Germany and some other country over there.. I have nothing against other countrys , but they were under my skin so I told the guy from Germany he was still butt hurt from losing WW2. I was then told that us Americans deserved to have a plane flown into a building and he hoped I lost people in 9/11...

The player in question is Vanilla King

Just thought I would make people aware of this jerk.

[yok-dfa]

"I have nothing against other countrys , but they were under my skin so I told the guy from Germany he was still butt hurt from losing WW2. I was then told that us Americans deserved to have a plane flown into a building and he hoped I lost people in 9/11...

Sounds to me that you were both being jerks :hmm:

I play a lot of BF1942 online and the best way to handle people with the wrong kind of attitude is to ignore them... They might get abusive and spam the teamchat window or something, but as long as they are typing their insults, they don't have time to ruin the gameplay :)

[Scavenger4]

YEah, whenever I play Madden online I get a lot of sore losers. Always quitting after turning over the ball in the 4th quarter down by a couple touchdowns.

I cannot stand players like this. You play all that time and want to actually finish a game and they leave because they can't take losing. Its even worse in Halo when they trash talk the entire time about all their "1337 5k1llz!!!one1" and when its 5-0 in a head-to-head they just up and leave. I think in ranked games online they should make it twice as hurtful to your rank if you just up and leave.

Sounds to me that you were both being jerks :hmm:

I play a lot of BF1942 online and the best way to handle people with the wrong kind of attitude is to ignore them... They might get abusive and spam the teamchat window or something, but as long as they are typing their insults, they don't have time to ruin the gameplay :)


I only mentioned the being butt hurt thing after he metioned we deserved a that plane into a building. :roll:

Sorry , I can only take so much talking down to before I reply back. And trust me they werent exactly giving me hugs during the game either.... It was you suck this and why dont you quit loser that..... I did not use profanity , but they had comments that were really bad for me. Sexually explicit comments and just down right rude stuff. Should I have let it go ? Probably..... :evil: But the simple fact is that I beat them 4 against 1 and they were butt hurt about it and all of thier trash talking is what made me want to beat them that much more.

Was I rude ? Yep I wwas after they threw every comment at me and insulted everything. Are these people I awill ever meet in real life ? NO they are not. Should I have just muted them and left bad feedback ? Yes I should have.
Do I care if they leave feedback ? No I dont because it was on a free 2 month trial of xbox live and I wasnt playing with my main account :P

So in conculusion I may have said something sort of jerky , but you dont even want to know the bad things they said to me :/ I thought I held back on the trash talking ;)

Saying "Thats why I'll never play on the internet, because of retards" doesn't make much sense. You can play on the internet with just local friends if you like, its not the fact that you're playing on the internet, its "Playing with strangers". Once you find a good community then you can even make new friends that you wouldn't have otherwise.

I rarely have any problems playing with strangers for that matter. You run into them from time to time, but guess how easy it is to avoid them? Easier than trying to get away from someone in real life that won't shut up, thats for sure. I play online every day, its great, but there are some games I won't touch because of the greater density of retards, like Diablo and WC. Blizzard.net users....uggggg.

That's the main part I hate about Xbox Live

80% of the people seem to be complete idiots.

I notice most of those people seem to be playing Halo 2... LOL

Seriously, there are asses and annoying litle kids(no offense), on all online games. But for some reason Halo 2 seems to be the worst.

I can't even begin to say how many times I've gotten cussed out/yelled at just because my team won(or even getting cussed for losing).

It's just a game people take it as one, I mean I'm not the best player but I always say good game even if I win or lose, I'm just trying to be a good sport, and not like most of the people on Xbox Live.

Note: Sorry for my small rant there. ;)

ahh yes the supid fucktard theory...well i run into them all the time while on CoH (city of heroes). one guy i balieve called me a loser because i lived at home, while im attending college an hour away O_O . we finally dump this guy to say the least from the team, but i just hate running into them. oh also djbeatmongrel and i was doing a mission were we kill a giant robot, well this random dbz rip-off comes buy and hits the robot to get credits. he starts complaining that we would of never killed him, and we were weaklings. the only think is that he was about 4 levels below us. O_O . oh gatta love those people.
