Poll: Do you hate clans?

[Blackdoom]

I honestly don't care about them. I play Call Of Duty 4 on a clan server and use their Teamspeak because they are fun guys to play with, that is about as far as I care about clans.

As stated frequently they occasional douchebag who thinks he is awesome because he is in a clan is the problem.

I'm in a (Team Fortress 2) clan, so no. However, the clan I'm in plays for fun and doesn't take itself very seriously. I also don't like clans which say they're "totally MLG" and "pwn scrubs all day long, lololol".

 

[Pimppeter2]

I don't play online, So I couldn't care less.

I don't really understand why anyone would want to be in a clan in an online FPS game, sure it's great in a MMORPG or something like that. I do enjoy beating clan dudes though, especially on CoD

I was in a public match on MW2 and three clan tags on top of each other read:
[OHNO]
[DOGZ]
[HELP]

OT: I think that clans who fill up public TDM's just to piss people off are annoying but at least they aren't very common.

I reckon that clans can make a games' experience waaay funner, as long as they aren't dicks or too competitive. Also scrimmages AWESOME if they aren't done competitively and are just done for fun.

Clans are like a mini community of its own, so as long all the people aren't total dicks then it can make a game a helluava lot better.

I've been in a few clans (Mostly for Call of Duty 2 & 4) but we were always laid back and never stacked either on our server or others. Only took it serious in scrims when it was filled with people who wanted to play seriously, for public games it was always a laugh.

Most elitist clans stick to private servers anyway so they really aren't a problem.

I don't understand why you can just scribble in something on your clan tag instead of it being deeper obviously most people are just going to make a symbol or write some kind of acronym rather than an actual clan name, and I never liked how much work it takes to keep them up and all the pricks who join but never take anything seriously and just all of a sudden leave after years of being a member for no other reason but for being bored.

I hate online clans because they are useless. But LAN clans who actually know how to play and make money while doing something they like (like yours truly) - I only hate the competition.

 

[Tourette]

Hate: Ku Klux Klan
Like: Wu Tang Clan
But Serious: no i dont hate clans, but sometimes they can be very elitist

Beat me to it. Totally agree.

Wu Tang ftw.

 

[Ekonk]

Only when they brag about their 1337 quick scopin kills and camp the entire match.
Fuck You COD clans, Fuck You hard.

With something sandpapery.

I hate like a whole team is a clan and they think they're all that. Like yesterday my friends and I are playing HQ on MW2. The other team was one player short of a full clan team! They were such d-bags! They had no skill what so ever and all they did was camp! We started to loose but in the last five minutes we pull a head. THEN EVERYONE LAGS OUT! The clan were such pansies just leaving like that knowing we were better!

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

I was in one.


I dislike the whole "1v1 makes you better" thing.(Like, fighting someone one on one made you better than that person)


So I left. It just bothered me that they cared who was better.

Now I still play with the guys in the clan, and help them out in "Clan Battles" but I no longer affiliate with them.

What's wrong with the principle of clans? Playing together with mates is a lot more fun eh? Nobody seriously plays football free-for-all or random teams either. Playing a clanwar and beating another team through good teamplay is fun.

It's annoying when they join as a whole team against you, then brag about how good they are and don't shut up.
Makes beating them all the sweeter.

This. Especially when it's in games like CounterStrike, where they use their voicecomm to give away the locations of other players.

There's a lot of idiots online though, K/D ratio seems to be something everyone rambles on about these days; means nothing.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Live and let live.

My buddies have a clan, they just have a laugh and never act all pro.

Cland are like people, mostly fine with the odd annoying one.

 

[S_K]

i dont like extremist clans that crave perfection, the rest dont bother me

This, clans arn't the problem, it's the attitudes of the members that becomes the problem. The knock on effect it has to a game when a clan all joins 1 team for example =P

 

[LoneFullmetal]

I only hate them when they're little kids trying to get me to join them.

No means no dammit.
