Poll: Things that ruin online play

[a Soviet Pie]

Big snip

I wanted to bring something at least substantial to the table. I didn't take you out of context, you said not to voice your opinion if I didn't agree with yours, not much ambiguity here. You called me up on misspelling "ageist", why? A forum is for arguing a point, polls are for voting. Your poll can do the voting, and all the stuff underneath is for arguing. Arguments aren't by nature hostile, but your wording was just so, so awful it invokes hostility.

Little comments without decent reasoning laid out around it doesn't really do much good.


Also, don't comment on my use of the english language cause you don't know it, example: slating: was a verb, and you call me up as if it was an adjective, it was besides the point.

"This is why you're wrong" is me saying here's my conflicting opinions.

" When I was ten, I was enjoying life with friends in the real world, not playing video games", wow, a get a life comment, how productive.

" they just scope for a millisecond, shoot, and then hit me" that's an extremely impressive feat, and rewards a kill. If you can't do it, then fine, get good. Most quickscopers cherry pick their kills.


No more flames, they're climbing a little too high here but I'll not let you roll over me like that either.

I'm gonna call it even, but one thing I want to point out. "This is why you're wrong" is not how to say that. If you want to say "here's my opinion" then say "Well I think." It's way easier.
Oh, and PS, I'm not out of arguments, I'm just really sick of it. I assume you are to.
And I was not commenting on your English, I truly wanted to know what 'slate' meant.

Stupid people just drive me nuts. no idea why.
obnoxious brats are pretty bad too, but they kind of fall under stupid, because they don't know how not to be @$$ holes. sometimes.

I chose little kids because hackers wasn't there.

ed for campers, because there is nothing worse than dying out on the feild, then spawning back at base to find nearly the entire oposite team in your base. You dont even have a chance to get good weaponary. I also hate kids online, who's high pitched voice nearly bursts your ear drums, but when you kill them and listen to them rage then rage quit, thats quite funny, thus why it didnt get my vote

 

[Trifer420]

all the above

Kids.

Sometimes it makes me doubt if I ever want kids on my own... My breed doing this to others, I'd perma-glue my palm to my face.

I lost a good chunk of respect for OP when he said that someone was being rude for not seeing a problem with dual wielding. Why start a thread if you want nothing but confirmation of your statements? As for personal hates, mine is that one guy who always goes right for the RPG/Noobtube or whatever and spends the whole time basically teabagging the weapon respawn.

I see what you're saying, but, with a sniper argument, there are a multitude of factors.
Cold-blooded, Sleight of hand pro, the actual player's ability, all of these things can tip the who shoots who battle to one side or another.

Good point, however I will argue the Cold-Blooded argument. I personally hate the idea of perks that counteract only specific things that may not appear in the current match.

For example If there were no thermal snipers then Cold Blooded is a waste of a perk (yes I know it helps against air support too)

But the worst one is Ninja: Yes once upgraded it silences your footsteps but until then you have to contend with a perk that ONLY affects enemy heartbeat sensors AND NOTHING ELSE. The day I use Ninja is the day I die.

cold blooded is nearly the best perk, you never have to worry about kill streaks hurting you, and you never have to worry about thermal, therefore best 2nd perk possible besides scavenger

and ninja really isn't that bad, if you need other perks that bad, then you are bad at the game, because you depend on that one thing way too much

i pick ninja alot actually, just because i see the ****** campers who crouch around with the heartbeat waiting for people to walk around corners, and they dont see me comin and i straight up rape on those faggots, with my OWN skill, not some perks skill

 

[notruenonsequitur]

I find it funny how the top four annoying things are all people

 

[wfpdk]

id have to say lag. f@&%ing lag.

 

[Lim3]

Lag!

 

[feather240]

Other people.

I would've been greatly disappointed had this not been the first response.

It is also the only right answer. People ruin everything.

So yeah, playing with people kind of sucks. I honestly don't know why it's so popular. Just the fact that this question makes sense to people who actually like playing online proves that playing online is kind of stupid.

People have this strange idea that "other people" are unpredictable, adaptive, and generally more intelligent than enemy AI.

Its horseshit, but most people are so convinced free will actually exists in any meaningful form that you can't convince them otherwise.

You want an answer why? The ability to cause another human being a twinge of pain as you enjoy your disgusting self satisfaction. Savor it slowly.

Hahaa Little Kids are the WORST!! Going back to CS after months of MW2 and it is a nice change not having to listen to 12 year olds swearing and yelling over the mic because they think it's cool.

 

[Souplex]

The lack of physical people is what ruins it for me.

 

[xDHxD148L0]

More often than not, its just my level of patience that determines how my on line experience is.If I come home after an easy day I can easy deal with most of the problems, ignoring the idiots and muting people who are being rude.But sometimes when I come home tired it gets to me real easy, I'll just log off and play a single player game or something

Let's get something straight right away, I'm generally very good at FPSs, however...
People who spend every moment from the time a game comes out becoming unstoppable annoy me. Winning might be fun but I'm not going to play with you if you crush me all the time. Then you wonder why I avoid you in later games. I'm talking to you, MWF2 players. Not whoever reads this though, you guys are alright.

 

[Cody211282]

The only time I have every gotten really mad when playing online was last night, I was playing Rush on Battlefield BC2(we were the attacking team) and everyone on my team thought it would be a great idea to be a sniper, I tried to talk them into changing their classes to have a hope of winning but they all thought it would work, it didn't

 

[mubobi7593]

I find it fairly humorous that all your choices for the poll are for MW2. Has that game been raised to "The Entirety of Online Play" status while I was away?

OT: I personally hate glitchers the most. Dirty cheaters! D:<

 

[ddon]

would griefers count as stupid teammates?
