Wow. Let me make sure I'm hearing you correctly. You're dating a girl who is not only a gamer but an avid gamer, and a Natasha to boot? Everybody knows that Natashas are like Hollys and Tiffanys - they're always hot (unless their parents misspelled their names. I dunnoh. I'm really only an armchair etymological mystic). And you're complaining? She makes you want to scream? Unless this is one of those relationships where she won't even kiss you or let you put your hands on her, you need to relax.Charm Offensive said:
You can tell her how you feel, if this continues to bother you (I have a feeling that pretty soon she will be more important to you than games. Hell, you did refer to her by name). Or you can shut up and let her join in.
Also, call it what you want. But. It. Is. Camping. I do it too, sometimes, but that won't stop me from talking shit when others do it. It's cheap. Video games don't have established rules like basketball (or socc-football, if you're across the pond). It's just entertainment. She is at the very least potential sex (and remember, she IS a Natasha) and possibly the most important companion you'll have for some time.
Play co-op. Seriously. My boyfriend and I have been playing games co-op since the beginning. At first, it was rough. We each had our own play styles, it was hard to mesh, there was frustration, but we moved past it. Now we have an incredible synergy, and it has translated into our actual relationship as well. Once you guys are used to your play styles, you won't nag each other for it as much.Charm Offensive said:
And if she has a suggestion, for fuck sake just listen to it! So your girlfriend noticed a good tactic while you were too busy watching for enemies. So what? That's what sitting on the sidelines is good for. My boyfriend would have missed about half the treasure/healing items in Resident Evil 4 if I hadn't pointed out every shiny spot to him. Sometimes your head gets too far into the action, and you can't see alternate ways around it. Be a man, suck it up, try her suggestion, and if it doesn't work don't be an ass and tell her she was wrong all along. That last piece of advice was actually a mistake I made, bit I'm sure a girl would be just as pissed if she had been told she was wrong the whole time too.
to quote youhei sunohara from clannad after story, "your problems are a luxury, you know that!?"
HAHAHHAHAHAHOHOHOOHOHOOHHOHOOHTIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIIHIHIH...
*sniff* so beautiful.
Anyway, just say, "Honey, we have different play styles.
Or.
"Honey, lets have sex while you shoot from that sniper".
Man, I just gave a new meaning to the word "headshot"

Talk to her. If she doesn't stop, watch her play something and comment on what she's doing. Show her how annoying it is.
Get over it, bro. You don't let minor issues burn up a relationship. It's like ending a marriage because your fiance got your order wrong at Mcdonalds.
Well you could talk out this minor issue with her like an adult, instead of running to a forum filled with strangers to talk out this, HAHAHA"Problem". Anyway you could say something like " I appreciate your advice but I like to play this way, k?" Either that or just try her advice and while your listening maybe try not being a hypocritical camper, in fact I have a great song for you. Really please take a listen. Its less than a minute long.

Talk to her. It's a weird idea but apparently relationships work when two people communicate.
AS a female gamer (Yes my name says Prince but I'm a girl) I would just like to say, she sounds like a terrific girl who can beat your bum-bum on COD. I like that. XD
Why don't you not play online and play her sometimes as well? My partner lets me do that sometimes, kinda makes me feel special. =^.^= I suck a FPS's though.
OT though. Talk to her. Do it. Do it now.

Just what is it that guys have against talk? The next time she does it just diplomatically tell her that you want to play it the way you play it, and if she wants to play then she should get her own controller. For crying out loud. She's your girlfriend. You have to be able to openly communicate about what bothers you, otherwise things will build and build until they explode and leave your relationship in shambles. It's not the big things that bring down relationships--it's the little things, and how you deal with them. So man up and tell her how you feel. Nothing is more sexy than a man who can share his feelings.Charm Offensive said:
Dude, just be lucky your girlfriend isn't completely opposed to shooters.
The only shooter that my girlfriend will play is Borderlands. Granted she fucking loves it, but that still doesn't detract from the fact that I wish she enjoyed more shooters, like Rainbow Six or something.

How about you listen to her criticism and, oh I don't know, learn from it. God forbid you take her good advice and get better. She's probably just trying to help. You shouldn't get mad at her for that. If she were sitting there calling you a noob and hating on your aim, that'd be a different story. But asking why you keep camping and using the ACOG on Nuke Town is probably just her trying to help you improve your game. Don't get so defensive.Charm Offensive said:
deal bro. color yourself lucky and take her advice at times. why WERE you using an ACOG scope on a small map? as for the trash talking, tell her to stop. and kudos for not being an ass hat.Charm Offensive said:
"Strategic Waiting"
You have the wrong game, I think, on non-objective modes "Strategic waiting" is no longer than 6 seconds, unless it's to reload an LMG
Also the only viable options for the ACOG are the M16 (Reduces center-time oddly) and the sniper rifles. For the M16 it's always viable no matter the map range (Though the weapon choice itself can be odd in smaller maps), and of course it's always useful on the L96 and the new PSG-1.
I get the feeling she understands the mechanics of CoD games more than you do.
