I don't hate any of these things. None of the listed things are really that much of an obstacle. If the other players have a good, communicating team however, it annoys me, because I can't counter that. Or if there is a person on my team giving enemies location to the enemy, through xbox private chat, or party, in some games.
Exactly. Online play would be so much better without other People.The_Deleted said:
There would be some problems, but I think it would be a big positive overall.
Gotta be the glitchers.
Bad team mates/little kids/not playing the game type can be irritating, but you can still have fun playing... maybe feeling like the match lies in your hands?
thermal snipers are a bit cheap (i'm guessing you're basing this all of MW2, which is alright) but just use cold blooded, or avoid them. Theres a way to beat every class, they all have strengths and weaknesses, even if some are a bit overpowered. for example with dual weapons, they may have extra fire power, but very limitted accuracy. keep range and they can't get you.
Campers.... if they get you once, then throw a grenade into where they're hiding.
I reckon level up lobbies are sort of glitching too. thats not how the game is supposed to be played. you're not even playing the game when you do it...
with glitchers, it is game-breaking and theres not much you can do. i know back in WaW, there were ways of getting under the map, and you could shoot through the floor... thats just stupid. Care package glitch - It's rewards for nothing.

I'm assuming this thread is aimed specifically at online FPS's?
Because if it's supposed to include MMOs like WoW or LOTRO, you forgot Raid Leaders with God Complexes

Nice way to take my words out of context. I don't mind if people have other opinions, for craps sake that's what a forum is. But I do get annoyed when people get onto forum topics just to start crap and not discuss the topic. That kinda defeats the point. You know, people who just point out all their views and say that's why I'm wrong, because apparently they are right, and I'm not. (Who has recently commented who sounds kinda like that?) And as to solutions to the problems, the topic title is, and I quote, "Things that ruin online play."Baneat said:
Nowhere in that did I see the words "How to fix things that annoy you in games."
1. Thermal Snipers - People in the two previous games to perfect sniping, and the thermal takes the sniper skill out and replaces it with basic trigger-pulling.
2. Dual anything! - Lets just point out all the things that are impossible instead of realizing that I was trying to say that people in war don't carry around two shotguns from a century and a half ago. When's the last time you saw a marine with those?
3. Map Glitchers - Believe it or not, some people don't play on PC. Believe it or not, some stuff is different.
4. Level Up lobbies - Different systems, don't try to argue that dude.
5. Again, Xbox and Playstation both have some problems that PC's don't. It's not a copy and paste game across systems.
6. "enough said" isn't an argument 9even though everybody seemed to agree with it), it only shows you don't really have a substantial one, (but everyone else seems to agree anyway). You agist ( < What's that word?) bastard. I bet I could beat you when I was 10 at FPS and do it in a more mature manner (Good for you. Two things: When I was ten, I was enjoying life with friends in the real world, not playing video games, and a more mature manner is conditional to different people. That's called a generalization.). 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 (No, I'm not in the demograph cause I don't scream, and who calls people slates?). Many young players play respectably, and as such are glossed over for the annoying ones. (Then why do so many people here seem to get bugged by them a lot? Is everyone else wrong to?)
7. Quick Snipers - Gwahhhhhaaa! You're wrong on every level! Why should they beat me? I have an AR with average accuracy and they are going around the map with Slight of hand pro, steady aim, and stopping power, and don't even aim, they just scope for a millisecond, shoot, and then hit me without even sniping! Why is that fair in some peoples eyes!?!
In all fairness, you're trying to say that I'm unfair and asking people who agree with some of the problems to say so to see if I'm alone with this problem. And you pretty much just made a reply that was exactly the kind of reply that I was trying to avoid: One that is just going to try to argue, not vote. If you want to complain about my stuff or say the stuff you like, go make your own post. And if you do tell me. I'll be happy to read it. And next time, make sure you understand what people are trying to say before you call them out on it.
Sorry to anyone who feels this was far to long, I just hate it when people do this.
I know exactly what you're talking about. I have a ton of friends from Great Britain, New Zealand, and Australia, and every time we try to play, some guy from around here ends up saying "Shut up foreigners!" which irritates me because apparently they thought that Xbox Live is only for Americans. Learn to spread the Xbox. On the plus side, many people are not that quick to judge. Mostly.Little Duck said:
When it comes to online games in general, the most annoying thing has to be "stupid teammates". Lately I've been playing Supreme Commander 2 & there's nothing that frustrates me more than idiots that don't understand the game & yet dive into online play. Well maybe the unstable connections is more annoying, but there wasn't that option available.
When the map is very close quarters, like Highrise or the Junkyard level, and someone calls in a Harrier or Pavelow or an AC-130..
Seriously IW? And not only that, you asses decided it would be just a wonderful idea to have it so you can DUAL WIELD SHOTGUNS. As if shotguns weren't a PITA to deal with in the first one.

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.a Soviet Pie said:
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 get the opposite. I get foreigners yelling at ME to shut up, and QQing about how my country is below theirs and how thats somehow tied to why I am owning them.a Soviet Pie said:
multiplayer.
basically, you run around and shoot stuff dead. if you want to make THAT experience, make a minigame where your in house and very enemies from "story mode" or whatever come and you blow there heads off. i mean, i played "cube", the shittiest most retarded game in the history of the universe, for THREE DAYS JUST because this was the main gameplay element (indeed cube 2 newer versions sadden me, as they are removing this for boring old DM, AND they removed,instead of improved, the best maps! WTF were they thinking?)
so yeah, shooting random shit>shooting other people "for teh lulz"
