After playing a few MW2 matches in a row and getting 20+ kills in each, someone sent me a friend request. It got me wondering: Is this common? Who are these people that do it? Why do they do it?

In Halo 3 my friend (REAL LIFE FRIEND!) had a 50 skill level. He got friend requests EVERY GAME. It was kinda funny.
I've done it before but not recently. Back in my old Starcraft and Jedi Outcast days I used to friend people all the time, simply because they were fun sparring partners.
Of course. That's essentially what people should be doing when someone plays well. And it's not just limited to FPS games - MMOs practically work off this concept, at least for me. Back when I played WoW, that's how I found all my guilds. I'd join random groups for dungeons and then kick arse. Soon enough, I'd get guild invites, and then I'd pick the one I wanted based on the performance of its members.
I usually send friend requests to people who can speak coherently and can actually play the game fairly because I wish to play again with them. Otherwise I have no idea why they do it.CORRODED SIN said:
Almost kinda sad as well. For the people friending him, great for him though. I gave up leveling up in Halo when they fucked with the level and XP system.Curtmiester said:
I dunno, some guy added me once because he was impressed by my sniping in COD4. At least he gave a reason though.
I get friend requests at least every other game in CoD4 because I average 30ish kills every game in TDM.
I get friend requests in Monster Hunter because I'm actually good at hunting (having wide-range +1 and status attack up on a paralysis sns doesn't hrut either). The ones that weird me out are those who add me before we even quest together. Creepy stuff.
Also, I noramlly only actively add people if I've hunted with them a couple of times (random luck), I've enjoyed hunting with them and I feel I've proven myself to be a good addition to a team (so that we are 'partners in hunting' rather than me just 'hitching a ride', ya' know?).
