"No! Don't get the flag!" But, that's the objective, "NOOOOO!"

And this is why achievements and ranks are a bad idea.

OT: You get a lot of crap like that in WoW with people trying to do achievements (ie doing a boss event incorrectly for the sake of arbitrary points) when all you want to do is kill the guy, loot and move on.

You /thread your own comment, then add more to the thread after that.

I am hoping this strikes you as odd as it strikes me.

OT: Nope. This is just one of the many reasons I don't enjoy playing online multiplayer games with strangers. I don't have fun when I play them, and if I am not having fun then what is the point in playing?

To add on to the irony, I got the most kills, highest score, and came the closest to getting a nuke (if I even had it on) than anyone else. The little jack asses were speechless after that until the trash talking resumed...

That's why I don't have a mic at all. It can go straight to hell.

I agree. It seems to happen to me all the time when i play Halo alone. Squeaky-voiced children constantly talk like their vocal chords have discovered perpetual energy, Constant bombardment of insults for doing something i am supposed to do in the first place. Unless i play with friends, i will always have my team on mute, and even if i play with friends, they will be the only ones i can hear.

 

[ImSkeletor]

You must have gotten into the rare server. The one that I have been searching for years...

Anyway, that's a real good team. And no mics? I would try to find those people again, because they sound like good players.

I only play strategic game types on WAW but I have only done it there a couple times and every one of those times that happend. I guess I'm a lucky guy.

Awesome, I was trying to figure it out n all i came up with was "F#ck The World"

There is one problem. In Team Deathmatch, there is a limit to kills. Also, everyone hides (also known as camping) because they want the game to go on longer and get kills easier.

In Sabotage, it is nicknamed "20-minute deathmatch" for a reason. The bomb is for show, not for planting. Why? I'll tell you.

By planting the bomb (200 exp or something) and having it explode (1000 exp), you get exp. Hooray for you.
By not planting the bomb, you and all of your teammates get an unknown number of extra experience while allowing you to play the game longer than you were in the lobby.
So, if you play Sabotage, don't plant the bomb or else you are a greedy person and I will look upon your whimpering form with contempt.

or here's a thought, play the game mode the way it was intended to be played. If you're so adamant about this petition IW to include timed death match so that people like you can camp for an hour and the rest of us can actually play the game proper.

1. I never camp. No, I'm serious. Never.
2. I'm fine with planting the bomb. Hell, I hate overtime.
3. But let me actually kill someone before you plant it, okay? Give me... say, 10 minutes. That's fair.
4. Not adamant, just annoyed. Although timed deathmatch would be nice. Too bad that won't happen.

 

[Aptspire]

On a random game on social server, TF2.
The guy from the other side says "Don't cap the last point, you'll lose"
I'm like "Yeah, whatever"
as soon as I'm done capping, my Scout dies and the announcement lady goes apesh*t, while the other team gets 100 points
the enemy from back then says "I told you not to cap it"
and I laughed XD

 

[Mr. Google]

once again, this is a reason I liked WAW better than MW2. played it earlier today and had fun defending and advancing on the HQ's. no one said "DONT GIT TEH HQ LOL!!!111 ******!!!111ONEONEONE". we just had fun fighting each other for a few minuets, then went on our way. from what I can tell, this mainly comes from popular games, which WAW was for about a month. but I still love you World at War, no matter your crappy campaign.

Yeah and this is why i liked Call of duty 4 because it was the one who actually made those awesome game types ur talking about not that shitty developer trey arch (Dont get me wrong though MW2 is FUBAR but if ur just comparing 4 and 5 4 is way better)

true, 4 was the better of the two, I just really, really liked WAW. it went back to the WWII formula for one last time, and it went out with on hell of a bang, only to then be overshadowed by the giant cardboard cutout that is MW2.

and I would suggest using spell check or something like that before someone is mean about it. us Escapist can get very elitist sometimes.

Ugh i was hoping that on hear i wouldn't have to bother but i guess everyone is a grammar Nazi everywhere!!!

 

[Lionsfan]

What do you expect? There's just too many stupid people Online. Always worrying about their Kill/Death Ratio over actually grabbing the flag, or disarming the bomb. And the snipers, I really hate the camping snipers. Like camping in the middle of nowhere, with no one around. If your going to snipe, at least be smart about it and help your team

It was just meant to be a mildly amusing statement saying that anything after my initial point was superfluous and/or wrong. A joke if you will. The fact that I continued to say something afterwards, I thought, made this clear.

 

[fer1wi]

Yep, Happened to me in Halo CTF.

Then I found them. And beat them to death.

With the flag.

You, my good sir, are now my hero.

I hate people who don't play for the objective.

So I hate 99% of the people who play Sabotage in MW2.

So, I would be the 1% that you don't hate. If I had X-Box Live.

 

[AtticusSP]

Oh Gunbound, how I love you.
But god damn do players whine and ***** if you play the game any way other than some unwritten rules about being fair or some shit.
NO DT, NO KS, NO BUNGE, ALL ITEMS OTHER THAN DUEL OFF, SCORE ONLY

My friends and I play as a team, we always steal each others kills and save each others asses with items. Enemies whine we're being unfair, we win every time.
Sitting beside the enemy and just trading shots until someone dies is boring, using strategy and teamwork is so much better.

Yes. Maybe 'hate' is too strong a word, but it's quite annoying when I'm the only one trying to plant the bomb, made it 3/4 there on my own yet never quite make it because I'm having to fight the entire enemy team.

 

[Magnalian]

Happened once on a nearly deserted server on TF2. Turns out the guys there just wanted to murder each other. I didn't mind and they weren't rude, so I joined in for a little while and then left.

 

[Kramcake2516]

Exacly why i dont play MW2 full of kids that want too run around and do anything but the objective .

Well, TF2 is server based (PC that is) and not matchmaker, so if you can convince a few people on empty servers, you can get a few minutes of melee and taunt kill fights going. People are pretty agreeable to that.

 

[Yarggg]

Never happened to me but it did happen to one of my friends.
Also playing MW2. He got screamed at for planting a bomb. I hate it when it happens

 

[clzark]

Grr, I hate it so much when im playing a game like MW2, trying to do what the objective of the game is. When all of a sudden im told not to.

It just happened to me, I was playing...MW2 and I was just about to set a charge on an objective (I was playing demolition)when all of a sudden some little kid, id say 11, maybe 12, screams into the mic , "NOOOOOOOOO!" in a manner that would make Darth Vader jealous. Next thing he says is, "Don't plant the bomb you idiot! Im trying to get a nuke!"
...
WHAT!
You have got to be kidding me! Just because you want a kill streak, doesn't mean im going to stop from doing what we are instructed to do! Then, some one probably 18 yells out, "Hey jackass, your such a noob for planting the damn bomb!" Followed up by the kid saying, "Yeah! You should go kill yourself!"
The irony here is that I won us the game by just one second.

So, has this ever happened to you on, well, any game that has multiplayer? Where your trying to so what the task says, then someone else tells you not to?

it sounds like the last two guys were making fun of the kid. obviously, I don't know the tone they said it in, but that seems like something I'd say to patronize the kid, not you, if I were in that situation
