Poll: What annoys you most on Multiplayer FPSs

[pejhmon]

None of the above.

What annoys me most is people with shotguns, especially in Bad Company 2 where they're pretty much the easiest weapon to do anything with, hell, I've even been taken out at damned unreasonable distances with them, because some idiot was using a slug with as much power as the M95 sniper rifle.

Everything else more or less makes the multiplayer Fps for me, hell, I once shot someone through the floor after realising it was made of planks so I could probably do it.

Wow I remember those, the N2000 with slugs are terrible

I remember that it's possible to out snipe a sniper in CS:S with the pump shotgun after about 6 hits (provided the sniper has bad aim) which is still unrealistic since a spray should never hit someone further than about 20m away (lethally) yet you can do 15-30 dmg at 150m

OT: uniformity. I get annoyed by how almost everyone ends up using the same guns/combos without ever bothering to try anything else because it's deemed as the "cool" gun. Take the scar/ump in MW2, ak/m16 in CS:S etc. Other guns exist ya know (and I'm not just talking about snipers)

Where is my lag option?

 

[Ampersand]

These are all part of the fun = D

Also while on this topic im new to the escapist is there any groups of people of here that play black ops on PS3?? Wouldn't mind playing online with a good bunch of people for once.

i play black ops, im pretty decent and i dont camp, noobtube or any of the above and im on ps3

 

[AnAngryMoose]

Campers, especially when an entire fucking team camps in the one spot.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

I despise people that don't team play,especially when it comes to DEM/CTF.Makes me wanna quit alltogether when I see the retards going for kills,instead of watching my back carrying the flag/planting/defusing bombs with the class specially made for those specific situations.

Other thing that I don't like is "gang raping" ie: I'm going "duel" vs 1 guy and then 3 more come from behind/sides and kill me.

The only time I actually "camp" is when defending a flag/position in CTF/DOM if need be.

 

[hollowminds]

Same issues as OP, team play.
Lack of communication in general, swearing into the mic and yelling noob doesnt count. I play to do the objectives however lots of players just play to run about and shoot, which is fine by me in some games but in others it just kills half the fun.

 

[sune-ku]

How much all the players hate each other. Why can't everyone have a good time and just enjoy killing each other? I'm super competitive in MP but I can at least appreciate being outplayed or enjoy victory without having to brag or complain.

Instant respawn. No matter what game, no matter what context, instant respawn is a POS mechanic. Even if the the game is "designed" around it, it still takes away anything you would call strategy or teamwork. It encourages, nay, DEMANDS you to run blindly at what resembles an objective. Got killed? Press X to respawn and try again! Fucking bullshit.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Friggin bad mapmaking.
I can work around all other problems, but if the map that was made specifically for this game was not tested thoroughly for exploits, spawn positioning, and just whether or not it is fun, I cannot enjoy it.

What about a timed respawn, putting you with your colleagues simultaneously?

Also, I think the problem with camping is how fast-paced everything is this day, meaning that when someone slows down and waits, it is criticized as unfair, since everything moves at a blur, you hardly check for the odd guy waiting in the corner.

 

[ffs-dontcare]

Btw, I have no idea what the hell a "noobtube" is.

I believe it refers to people using the supposedly overpowered grenade launcher in MW 2. I don't know if it deserves the reputation as I've never played the game.

Ah. I figured that's what it was.

I honestly don't see the big deal. If someone used a weapon on me that was supposedly over-powered, that's fine because it's not like he cheated or used an exploit. I think ED has a name for such people who get upset at people using certain weapons that they think they have the authority to disapprove of, but I don't think this site would like it very much if I said it.

It's not.
I'll give an example for this one:
People (like me) complained that quickscoping was cheap, and an exploit of the auto aim system.
Now, for the new call of duty Black Ops. someone asked if there was going to be quickscoping in the newest installment.
Reply (via Twitter):

@Herbert_Gun No. Quickscoping is a cheap way to play. We're specifically going to gimp Quickscoping, sorry. Play straight-up!

Where's "snipers"?

I hate one-hit-kill weapons, because you have no chance to fight back and often are lolkilled from nowhere - even when being cautious, because everyone's doing it. This includes powerful grenades, CoD-style one-hit-kill knives, the AWP, and noob tubes. Headshots are fine (unless it's like CSS where most headshots are just luck or spray instead of aiming for the head).

Though... snipers as a whole are just annoying.

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

Campers.

Call it "strategy" if you want. All it does is prove that you have no skill. People with skill want to get out in the game and prove they have skill, not sit in the corner and ambush people. You know that guy that sets up his claymore on the door behind him then sits in the corner watching the other door? Yea, that guy should kill himself. Those people are just wasting the oxygen of us legitimate human beings.

Here's a better way to put noob tubing. Imagine a gun that if you are within 10 feet of its shot you instantly die, it has extreme range and it is an instantly unlocked weapon. Oh and also, it is possible to spam it.

Servers with loads of advertisements and messages.

Also servers with a ton of stuff to download before you can even begin.

 

[TerraShocked]

Getting shot in the head less than a second after i spawn,and faulty melee attacks.

 

[superbatranger]

Probably hackers. I don't like knowing someone out there has aimbot or something that completely defeats the purpose of aim+shoot. :x

Ack. That reminds me of a time I was playing Counter-Strike at a friend's house. Everyone kept freezing, then dying because some guy was running around shooting us while we were frozen.. Also, I can't stand people who camp near spawn points.
