I've never had any problems with people from the UK. Just mainly americans. Not all, just a handful.

Maybe we're all just stupidly racist at heart? Or perhaps we can't stand each others' accents? Iunno. The main reason I'd do something like that is if they really were just being a dick about the whole thing. Although I'd probably just mute him.
I always found MGO an absolute tragedy, for me at least. I find it brilliantly fun to play, but it takes quite literally days to update, and I can't be bothered to put up with that; I did it once and then I had to do it again a few days later. It was a cruel cruel thing.Reaper195 said:
Not sure where you've been this whole time, but this is what people are like over the internet.
Anonnymity does strange things to people, either get used to it or go back to single player. Theres nothing you can do about it, other than try to mute everyone who pisses you off (and good luck with that.)

1. I know it's Xbox Live I just find it strange that people are so openly hostile to people on a network that is supposed to be about fun and ignoring how most people are pieces of shit/how life is shit.lithium.jelly said:
2. I have had the same problem playing Halo,Battlefield,and as I said earlier WoW. Although to a lesser extent as people are generally more talkative on Black Ops.
3.Search and Destroy
People are anonymous over xbl or Psn. People who think they're cool by cussing use this as a reason to do so since they have nothing to lose. Either way, when I come across people who cuss at me, I just laugh. Its entertaining as hell to see someone cuss at you in a gaming lobby.
Because gaming is srs bsns, after all. Really, it's just the practical application of John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory. Or you could see it as further proof of Sturgeon's Law - "90% of anything is crap." It applies to people too.Malikaw said:
Simple,its a kid who wants to make you mad,probably is suffering mental issues(possibly from such abuse),such as stupidity,and stereotypes are a arrow to chain-mail,goes right through.
I've had a lot of people, when cussing me out (usually due to my low kill ratio, I mean, come on), call me an "English *insert insult here*" because of my accent, which is 100% Australian. 
If they're on my team, in a Call of Duty game, it calls for massive greifing time, which include actions from the "How to annoy people in Black Ops", which pisses them off even more.
If they're on the other team, however, I just end up muting them until they're on my team again.
I had someone send me a message, when I was just going around knifing on a Team Deathmatch game once, because I was bored, saying that I "was not cool for going for him the whole match". I said I couldn't have been going for him unless he was camping and oh did the shit storm begin.

I think the film "Trainspotting" helped to establish a bit of Scottish-heroin-stereotyping, though I'm not really sure how as it still enjoys more of a "Cult Classic" status than wide-spread fame, as far as I know.Andy Shandy said:
Also, OP: That's why I typically avoid playing online in most games. (As you can probably guess from my profile pic, I play WoW, but it's not that difficult to avoid the trolls in that game and quite often they can be very amusing.) And while I can't speak for CoD multiplayer, I've noticed that it's a sort of instinct that humans get very defensive when they feel threatened by someone else and attempt to preemptively lash out, either verbally, physically, or whatever you would constitute spawn-camping someone in any PvP situation in any online game.
