Poll: Things that ruin online play

[Imbrium]

Biblically good post.
Completely agree - I usually avoid any and all online games because the experience varies from fairly crap to dire.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Unbalanced maps and weapons.
That is all.

 

[Individuo]

Other people.

Pretty much that.

My hates;
1. Thermal Snipers! - Sniping should take skill, not a scope that practically shoots for you!
.

You know, What exactly is wrong with them? How does it shoot for you? All it does is make a target easier to spot, and helps to stop campers. You still need skill to use it, and it makes actually shooting at someone harder than with a normal scope.

 

[Tdc2182]

Thermal scope doesn't shoot for you. It simply illuminates a target. If you think that takes the skill out of sniping... well I just don't know what to say. You still have to aim correctly, and you still have to realize that sniping in MW2 is completely irrelevant in any sort of competitive play. Why snipe when you can shoot with 100% accuracy across the map with a SCAR-H or ACR, and not be completely gimp at close range?

Exactly what I am saying. It really isnt a cheap thing to have in the game.

 

[The Great JT]

Little kids. Why? Their voices make me want to kill every fertile woman.

People taking it too seriously.

It's a cunting game, it is meant to entertain you, if you're acting like you're actually fighting the zombie hordes/terrorists/Japanese then you should just go and join the army!

I couldn't care less if I win or not, as long as I had fun and everyone else had fun too.

Those whiny types who complain that you're beating them or gloat when they're beating you are the main reason I only play online with friends now.

Also, you have a great username OP.

Yeah I hate the serious ones too, especially a guy I met in Left 4 Dead 2 who got pissed if I messed up slightly in any way.

Noobtubers, Even in battlefield they're fucking annoying.

I unload 3/4ths of a clip into some chump and from 5 feet away he hits me with a grenade from the launcher and I die, and he lives. It's BULLSHIT. I'm not even a competitive player, it's just irritating when you've got half your ammo in someone's face and you die because they shot you with a grenade at CLOSE RANGE. They should be in itty bitty pieces when they do this.

I don't even want to hear the MW2 Noobtubers side of the story, you get two shots wah wah. Then you instantly respawn and DO IT AGAIN.

 

[drisky]

Oh my god i hate people who don't play the game type. when ever i play plunder (basicaly capture the flag) on uncharted 2 my teammates are only ever going for kills rather than the treasure. Hell I've had people yell at me because I moved it when they were trying to get kills. Stop worrying about your kill ratio and just play the game.

 

[Finnboghi]

Ragers who complain about other people because their play styles doesn't mesh well, and then blame the other people for being assholes.

They are the people who take the fun out of the game.

 

[Tinneh]

Stupid teammates annoy the piss out of me, especially if they teamkill. It's VERY annoying, especially in Left 4 Dead, although in L4D you have a bit of satisfaction that your death might have made their game that much more difficult.

Heh.

 

[Lekonua]

As a member of the rare breed of gamer that actually plays games for the sole purpose of having fun, nothing really bothers me when I play online. Actually, what does annoy me is when OTHER people get annoyed and try to ban certain things.

"NO VEHICLES! NO ROCKETS! PISTOLS ONLY! FINAL DESTINATION!"

The hell with that. If it's programmed into the game, I will use it if I want to.

Glitchers only get annoying if they do it to excess, thus making the game less fun for all involved.

As for little kids, I take it on a case by case basis. If they're playing the game without being asshats about it, fine. But when they get into profanity-laced rants about my playing skills, sexual orientation, and mother, I deliberately start playing as badly as I can and laugh at the results. As I said, I play for fun. I don't give two shits about my ranking in whatever game it is.

 

[R1CK_D0M]

From the choices, stupid teammates, little kids, not playing the game type, campers, and glitchers (though for some reason i hate glitchers least of all).

but personally, I hate people who insist that realism is god tier and compare everything to 'real life' and if it isn't 'real enough' they rag on it. It's a game dammit, they add things to make it more fun. Most likely if it was real it would suck.

also people who laugh using jajajajajaja or huehuehuehuehue kinda annoy me. I know it's a different language, but I'm kinda a spelling nazi and on first instinct I always go YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.

 

[Tinneh]

I personally won't be bothered by the small children unless they are exceptionally rude (not all of them are, trust me.) or annoying.

 

[Baneat]

And please, if you don't like my hates, don't even bother to comment. It's just rude.

Wait missed this last time. Anyone who doesn't agree with your opinion doesn't get one!? gtfo now.






Here's why you're wrong.

1. Thermal Snipers! - it blacks out the screen, obscures movement of the scope and just turns non cold blooded players into white models. Sorry what's wrong with this?
2. Dual anything! - If anyone in the real world were to fire a model 1887 one handed, it would shatter your arm! if anyone could run infinitely faster than usain bolt, they'd be usain bolt. If anyone could teleport 21 feet to stab someone with an instant kill knife, we'd have a lot more knives, if anyone could scan people to a HUD with perfect accuracy in realtime, I'd be impressed. If anyone could........... balance the game by adding firepower to weapons to work around its own deathmatch mechanics and introduce a little fun, it's IW.
3. Map Glitchers - I play PC, haven't seen one yet
4. Level-up lobbies - Look above
5. Kids who don't play the gametype - Again see above, they tend to take it a little more seriously
6. Little kids. "enough said" isn't an argument, it only shows you don't really have a substantial one. You agist bastard. I bet I could beat you when I was 10 at FPS and do it in a more mature manner. You could argue that high pitched screamers are annoying, but it's all I'm really hearing from you and I assume you aren't in the demographic you slate. Many young players play respectably, and as such are glossed over for the annoying ones.
7. Quick Snipers - Gwahhhhhhaaa! They're better than me! Why should they beat me! I have a fully automatic AR with perfect accuracy and they get an inappropriate quantity of zoom, sway, slow ADS times, locked up perks, low rate of fire and they still beat me! WAAAAAAAGHHH

QQ more, I disagree with you heavily and I don't care if you think a conflicting opinion is rude, complainers in every damn match about campers etc etc, and I'll still rush through it all and not see a problem.

Not only that, but you aren't offering reasonable solutions, only problems

I know exactly how you feel, Snotperson (which I hope you like because I'm calling you that), grenade launchers are annoying, makes the CS: S AWP feel like a weapon requiring skill.

While I hate hate hate campers with a burning passion, it's only glitchers that will make me immediately drop a game on general principles, whether or not I'm on the same team as the glitcher. Play the game properly or don't play it at all.

Campers (especially spawn-campers) just get killed until they stop being lazy.
