Its why i dont play online.

I wish there was a way to play with people of your own age group, I know call of duty is "supposed" to be played by adults only... but for the love of god I cant stand screaming kids in my ear! and the smack talking... its why I've given up on on-line gaming, especially one so full of grubby little commoners as modern warfare ;p

ps, I don't talk shit online. never saw the point.
really, to me talking shit online half the game, I got a kid to cry once and for that day I considered myself the winner of MW2
That...that's terrible. I wouldn't be proud of that.
OP: The reason I only play shooters with friends or at LAN parties.

Being decent at the game =/= elitist.

If you're not good enough to stop being beaten, then you need to practice and get better, not blame other players.

I like a challenge. I like playing somewhat competitive. If my fun means ruining another's in a FPS, so be it. Cruel but thats life.

So you're mad at online shooters because people kill you?

What the hell do you expect them to try and do?

At least you're making it fun for someone else.

Get a PS3, we don't talk to each other at all on that and everyone just kinda does their own thing.

I don't know what you expect to happen, I can't think of any online game of any genre where your opponenets will "go easy" on you. You're complaining about losing repeatedly, and while that's probably not a barrel of laughs it's not the fault of mainstream FPSs.

Seriously, other people online are not playing for your benefit. "im not in it for dah kills im in it to enjoy killing shit". What does that mean? You don't play to kill, you play to enjoy the kills? Aren't you basically saying you'd do the exact same thing everyone else does if you could? Seriously, what do you want? People to be worse at the game in general so you can enjoy yourself?

If you really don't like the idea of people trying to kill you, then get a group with your friends and muck about.

The truth is, if it happens often enough for you to complain about, you're not playing with elite players, you're playing with normal people with average skill.

Not everyone is an "elite" player just because they killed you.

Also I recommend you never play Medal of Honour online. Ever.

i mean i know the answer but mainly the real question is....why the hell cant people just play for fun anymore? i mean i try to play the mainstream fps games due to the fact i enjoy them but the minute i go online i get mass killed and fragging, etc. its gotten to the point i dont even wanna fucking play shooters anymore cause i know every single one will just follow suit :/ can anyone give me an idea as to why?
Well, you have two choices here. Tough it out and try to learn some new tricks on youtube or just by playing hte game before you go online or drop the game entirely because it isn't fun to play. If the game is not fun, then there is no reason to play it.

A lot of mainstream titles attract players who are looking to dominate each other, not have a fun, creative or hilarious experience. Multiplayer seems to attract those who enjoy power fantasies and it just makes every match a headache.

My advice: find FPSs that are balanced rather than popular. Valve is a good place to start in that regard.

They aren't, you're just butthurt that you get beaten a lot online. Doesn't make them hell holes, just means you should get used to losing, get better, or move on.

Because of the "Unreal" pack. It's so dull and just simply Terrible, but it's so simple to use that Dev's everywhere are abusing it.

EDIT : I miss when FPS' and Player's weren't trying to be "Serious" and just plain "Having fun."
Remember when SideScrolling was Takin' Cover. Remember when "Racking up kills" was "Laughing your ass off because your ragdoll went flying into a Deathtrap."

I don't know why people Trash-Talk online. Go ask a troll, cuz for god's Sake we ain't gonna know.

Most FPS are made for the lowest common denominator, thus it dose not matter if they are all corridor shooters with basic if not the same plot/story.

If you just figured that out its time to move on from gaming as its as bland and generic as film and TV....

I miss the days when games were fun and not poorly balanced piles of sht....

If you hate being killed in multiplayer then why don't you play more shooters where your main focus is to be a team? If you're basically playing death match central then don't complain about people killing you. Either that or make friends and play online with them.

Also, I agree with this. Don't be afraid to act stupid sometimes as your game kills don't matter at all. I've seen people try to make tango lines across maps, standing out in the open making stupid jingles, and getting in competitions to die in the funniest positions. Try it out sometime.

I recall seeing something like that on a L4D2 server. All the Infected weren't chasing us and instead were interested in making giant Tango lines across the map. We didn't kill them, because we joined in. XD
