Actually, microphones. I have to mute every single person just so that I don't get called "fag" or something dumb over and over again.

In the case of MW2, I would say dual wielding since when combined with shotguns, they are fairly imbalanced. That's just me though and I'm also guilty of using it.

Anyways, it's a tie between "stupid teammates" and "little kids", stupid teammates can be justified though, if the player just started playing and don't know the basics of the game, but little kids are usually annoying and not just because of their prepubescent voices that destroy your ears, but when they decide to be an absolute idiot and thinks yelling over the mic is cool.

People are one of the main reasons that online play is ruined, for me anyway.

The people who yell racial insults over their mics annoy me, people who sing over their mic annoy me, people who use hacks or exploit a glitch, Children also annoy me, and the people who whine because they are losing.

Than their are people who start taking the game to seriously and start insulting people left and right.

I love the mute button, it comes in handy when playing with people like that.

Right there with ya. Online players is the #1 reason I don't play online. Whether it's an FPS, an MMO, or what have you it's just not what I find fun anymore. Same room, same friends, that works better for me (at least in theory, I only game with my kids, but they're pretty fun.)

People constantly complaining about other peoples habits of playing a game?
agreed.
thermal sniper? oh poor baby its not like the sights automaticly lock on you.
quick snipers? complaining about ppl that can get u in their sights and kill you quickly? so i take it some ppl dont like playing against skilled players.
also how can someone say other players mess up a MUTIPLAYER game. thats just plan stupidity right there. an AI cant amount to a human player yet. thats why when ppl play on the hardest difficulty, they win anyway. c&c shows this perfectly in its player vs AI. play it enough times and you learn the comps stratigies
lol although kids do annoy me sometimes

5. Kids who don't play the gametype - For craps sake, it's domination, not deathmatch! stop playing it like it is!
6. Little kids. Enough said.
I agree with these two. Stricter laws need to be created to stop underage people from gaining access to games rated innappropriate for them. And I think you should be able to vote to kick someone from the game if they're not helping to sieze the objective.

ohh man thier are more than a few thier that are definitely irritating. But little kids(who tend to do/attempt to do alot of the things on the list) are definitely high up there seeing how I've mostly been into Nazi Zombies in World at War.(which requires abit of common curtesy (ie no killing zombies at someone elses window) and teamwork) So whenever possible I back out, before the game starts. Because besides them being annoying little shits thier's the fact that they're under age and most often they're voices just grate on my nerves.

But the one thing thing that I relish is getting into level up lobby in free for all matches. Everyone's like let me get my 24(or whatever number is one point away from being ending the match) and the idiots so often gather in one spot on the map and one at a time let everyone get just shy of that magic number and I always ask/insist I go first but regardless of when I go when the person who's "next" in line goes to get there first kill I always kill him first and end it. The profanity and threats are music to my ears man

1. People who take the game too seriously (and has a mic)

2. Lack of variety in modes.
*any time I play multiplayer, I like to change things up each round/match/etc, but I remember games like Battlefield 2 where EVERYONE would just seem to play "Strike at Karkand" and the next map up would be Karkand again.

After awhile the game became "Karkand 2: Return of Karkand" instead of Battlefield 2.

Beat me to the punch. I was going to ask where the other people option was. All the other people suck so much of the fun out of the game that it becomes pointless to play and just gets my blood boiling.

I play games to have fun fist, to win second.

What's wrong with quick scopers? That requires skill to pull off.

My own personal hate online is the fact that no matter how hard I try most players are still better than me.

I can stop campers. I can stop dual weapon guys. I can stop thermal snipers, mute little kids, sometimes stop glitchers too. I've never seen a level up lobby, and i can change game types. But i can't stop losing because of a bad team, and god knows i've tried.

My team loses because no one other than me can keep a positive k/d. I don't need the exp, but it's not the same thing when you lose.
If I could take a picture of my after match report, I would, because its basically that for the last 30 games or so, the only exceptions being when I get a nuke. Which is about every 5-10 matches. Oh yes, my k/d is 2.27 at the last count, and also (on topic), little kids don't irritate me, I just think it's funny when they whine (in that instantly recognizable whine) "You're a haaaaacccckkkkkkeeeerrr..." Which velcros me to the match until they quit with fury at my (very sneaky) style of play. That is so satisfying, I feel like a bad person, but an awesome gamer :D

I don't even know what a "thermal sniper" is, but I have to go with glitchers, here. Nothing worse for me than people who have to break the game to win.

Seeing people naked while playing Uno(on Xbox)

Seeing people do terrible, unspeakable things to a teddy bear, while playing Uno
... I...errr... are we taking 'good' naked, or 'bad' naked?

On topic: Gears 2. People sending me messages calling me a dick because I lost to the opposing team when I was the only member alive, or for two piecing someone who was a higher level. Who I might add, was wasting shots trying to hit me, and I simply waited for my chance, he reloaded, and bam, i've killed him. :D

Seriously, its ONLY a game.

Your hates;
1. Thermal Snipers! - They hardly shoot for you, you still have to aim.
2. Dual anything! - In the real world you also couldn't call in a tactical nuke because of a firefight between 20 people.
3. Map Glitchers - Can't argue with that
4. Level-up lobbies - Or that
5. Kids who don't play the gametype - This is true
6. Little kids. Enough said. - Also true
7. Quick Snipers - Gwahhhhhhaaa! - So, you say people should have skill, but when they actually do, you don't like it.

I read your OP, I know, but: Don't comment if I don't like your hates, 'cos it's rude'? No mate, it's different opinion.
