Agreed. Weapons are in the game for a reason. By all means yell at/ban the hackers, or the griefers. People using legitimate techniques or weapons shouldn't be banned because you don't like it. Snipers out there? Take cover. Knifers? Be more alert, blow them away for ten metres. Although, it's not cool to camp in a situation that doesn't warrant it, i.e. Last one on a team, and just sit in the corner waiting for ages. Just die and let everyone else start playing again.
Yeah that's one thing i hate, in S&D.
Just sit there until the time runs out with no attempt at planting a fucking bomb.
People that complain about campers/knifers just need to get better at the bloody game.

I hate kids in my games, When I was that age I don't recall me or my friends being as stupid as kids are now. They just sit there yelling obscenities, TKing, Slurring they live to be griefers and ruin it for the rest of us. I demand a strict ID based control of title releases and sales folk who take the time to tell the parents what generally goes on.

To all parents who use consoles as babysitters. I don't want to spend any more time with your annoying brats than you do.

There should be an age limit on people using mics. This would eliminate the awful, horrible voices of the pre-pubescent wretches.

COD 2 annoys me in general. My BF has been playing it pretty solidly since it came out and I honestly can't see why.

oh, a thread that's hating on Modern Warfare 2, how refreshing. If you just hate mw2, then say it in the thread title, or at least change some of the options to less of a blatant attack on CoD.

Answering your question, I would say people that team kill an obscene amount. A couple of times may be ok if your just messing around, but Im not the sort of person who likes to play a team based game where my own team are shooting everyone. Battlefield was particularly guilty of this, not sure of the new 1 as I havent played it but yer.

EDIT- I'll agree with you about the quick snipers though, they are pissing annoying! I have to have less fun just because this guy's spent way too much of his life using a sniper in innappropriate places. I sometimes wonder if its actually people doing it or some sort of machine...

Campers. Every time I get killed by someone hiding in a corner, I just think, 'that cannot possibly be enjoyable', and throw a grenade at them.

So, for a while now, games like Modern Warfare and Gears of War have been driving me insane. People online are constantly using more annoying tactics to win. Now, I know there will be some people who do these things, so do not take this personally. I'm not saying your a terrible person for doing it, just that I wish you wouldn't. And please, if you don't like my hates, don't even bother to comment. It's just rude.

My hates;
1. Thermal Snipers! - Sniping should take skill, not a scope that practically shoots for you!
2. Dual anything! - If anyone in the real world were to fire a model 1887 one handed, it would shatter your arm!
3. Map Glitchers - For craps sake, don't try to brag if you win this way. Ohhh, you can cheat!
4. Level-up lobbies - They are in every game, and they always seem to be run by little kids or stoners.
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.
7. Quick Snipers - Gwahhhhhhaaa!

Edit: Feel free to add any you feel I missed. I see that some of you really took the initiative.
If you play on X-box live long enough your find all of this and MORE! You?re not the only one who hates these things, I too have seen these, but there are some that I want to add.(some have been said before, but I agree with) .
1. People taking the game too seriously-Oh no you lost a game, now your take longer to rank up!
2. Noobs and Noob tactics.
3. ?Smackers? (Term I made up) (people that won?t shut up about how good they are)-Even if they are that good, we heard you the first ten times.
4. ?Cursers? (Term I made up) (people, usually kids, that curse way too much)
5.?Agresers? (Term I made up) (people who start attacking you as soon as you join a party or when you haven?t even said a word to them.
6. Team killers
7. ?Quitters?-you know those people that wait until the teams are all readymade, the game starts, or when you team is losing, to quit.
8. Stupid team mates (this was on the poll)
9. Complainy whiners
10. Hackers- somewhat like Map Glitters but more general
11. Lag

I try not to get annoyed easilly,but it seems I am seeing atleast one of things more often now.

Campers, they take the fun out of playing

It's one thing to be a sniper, because setting up is difficult, and if you aren't constantly on the move, anyone who gets close enough to you and you're not aware of them can mean death since they're ready and you aren't.

Camping, however, takes the fun out of gaming, because I personally am a run and gunner, and having the same guy sit in a spot where he's completely safe to the point that you can't kill him isn't fun. It's one thing to get the drop on someone while running and they can't fire quick enough. But at least they have the chance to drop to their knees, flip around and actually have a shot a kill, even a quicky finish him kill. But campers don't give you that luxury. The WORST are the ones who camp by spawn points...

I think the cheapest tactic is marathon, lightweight, and commando with an SMG. Just for fun I set this up and instantly I was #1 in every match. Sometimes instead of commando I'll use sit rep or ninja but generally it doesn't matter. Run, gun, stab.

I really don't see the argument against thermal scopes. Cold blooded is an amazing perk. Also, just because your targets are highlighted, it's still not easy to hit moving targets plus unless you're using stopping power it takes 2 body shots for a kill and sniper rifles have decent kick. Also, you'd be vulnerable to other thermals.

I love to snipe, but it's not super easy to get a lot of kills. Also while you're aiming down your scope you're very vulnerable to people simply walking up and stabbing you. If you have a problem with thermal snipers and think it's super easy, try it yourself and see how well you do.

Any time anyone says something along the lines of "watch this" or "Look what I can do." At that point, the best course of action is to back away and leave them to their fate.

Polls about things that ruin online gameplay.

And Americans who try to argue with you because your accent isn't local. You can't even argue back, you get stuck on the same fucking argument for hours on end till I say something really outlandish and offensive. Then you put my rating down, toward which I reply "you started it"
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.
Yeah most people are alright. I have alot of time for people who are more culturally accepting, but it's the odd one or two who ruin it for everyone else.

How about your game connection cutting out in the middle of the match for no aparent reason. No lag, no frame-rate chugging, it just went black.

Other people.
So Sartre was right when he said "Hell is other people", then? (In the context of an online world, he was totally right. Hah)

OT: I think campers get a bad rap, especially if they're playing a class that's supposed to stay put (Like TF2's Engineer and Sniper).

I voted Stupid Teammates, because a bad/stupid/uncooperative team is the most hellish thing you will encounter in an online game. Campers can be overwhelmed, and the same goes for glitchers. But a bad team will cause you to lose again and again.
