They are? I keep getting yelled at on TF2 for not having fifty million kills and no deaths. I'd say Starcraft, most of the people are willing to give tips if you ask at least in my experience.
Are you kidding? The Starcraft community is full of dicks (no offense to any Starcraft players, not saying that YOU necessarily are a dick, I love the Craft RTSs), especially those who play DOTA (yes offense to DOTA players, if you think DOTA is fun there is clearly something wrong with you), who tend to say things along the lines of "RAWRRG YOU NOOB LEAVE THE GAME AND STOP FEEDING YOU NOOOOB YOU'RE A **** LEAVE NOW" even when you're only slightly below average.
The best community I've found has been in the Battlefield series, because everyone there is looking for a good team-oriented that requires communication and cooperation (unlike TF2 where you can pretty much do whatever you what without talking to anyone and still help your team win), so people that play it tend to be friendly, unless you start being a douche yourself (ie one time I tried walking in front of my squadmates tank and he immediately yelled "GET OUT OF THE WAY DUMBASS!", although to his defense he didn't actually run over and teamkill me, again showing how BF has a great community.) I'm excluding the Bad Company series of course, since
the first was only on consoles so they had to deal with their shitty community and the second drew from the CoD community, by, you know, completely ripping off CoD with blood splattering on-screen and regenerative health, and those players tend to be uncommunicative, idiotic, lone-wolf assholes.

The Battlefield 2 community is very friendly.
Especially if you play Project Reality
Bullcrap, in my years of playing Battlefield 2, there have been several instances where douchewads made themselves present. Assholes that will purposely spawn camp your ass by rolling a tank over you, bombarding you with infinite grenades, sniper nesting your crap, and corner camping every segment of the map,
That's not being an asshole, that's just using tactics that you can't figure out how to counter. Pro-tip: If you're being spawncamped, spawn at another base and come back with a tank, or if one isn't available, pick them off from long distances with a sniper rifle. I don't remember anything about being able to get infinite grenades in that game, besides, the grenade has a long enough fuse that you have time to run away.

Oh yes, need a vehicle? Too bad, the same asswipe keeps stealing the jets to bombard the enemy spawn, which is empty, because that's all they know how to do. If you feel the need to offer helpful advice or offer to co-pilot, this is the general response...

- you cant fly
- I dont need one
- qq more nub
Okay yeah the jet guys are generally assholes, but flying is damn hard in that game, and I would be pissed off too if I was running towards a get only to see some noob get in it and crash it 10 seconds later. Besides, there's offline play if you really wanna learn how to use aircraft, and in a team-oriented game it's only courteous to stick to what you're good at.
If you actually manage to find a half-decent server where a team might work together now days, then I'm proud of you. Other than that, expect the same scenario over and over again.

Oh yes, the server rules are my favorite part.
- No camping or BAN
- No vehicle rushing
- No capping enemy points beyond another certain point
- No vehicle whoring
- No unlocks
- Recon only or BAN
- No kicking/killing commander or BAN
- No C4 or BAN
I have to agree on this one. Seriously, dedicated server runners, either put your stupid custom rules in your server title or use them only on unranked servers. I especially hated the "no fighting commander" rule since being the commander was boring and you usually had a good 5-10 seconds to kill in between giving orders and using assets in which you could easily fire some potshots at the enemy team before ducking back into cover like the coward you are.
