Why do other young gamers have to ruin it for me?

You could play without a headset and mic. If you're jumping into a game with a bunch of complete strangers, that's the best way to play.

Most of you probably hate young gamers,there is no reason not to.Whenever I hear a 5 year old cursing everyone out because he died being a noob.I cant help but thinking "It's your fault".I try my best to be respectful even though some adults can be immature,But that won't stop the other children from being retards.
For example I could be winning 24-0 in MW2 and everyone would be amazed at my skill and say stuff like: "wow he's owning us badly." but the second I put on my headphones and speak it starts to sound like: "ugh the f@g retard is gonna get a nuke."
This is why the only time I use my microphone is when I really need it to communicating with my team,and even then there is always the 2 year old yelling over my voice screaming "Stop sniping me you F@g a** B**CH S**T MotherF**Kers!!!".I wish there was some way I could strangle them through my TV.

This is playground language. What surprises me is how quickly everyone seems to forget what a playground sounds like. It wasn't that long ago that most of us were in one. Personally, I keep my kid out of school and voice chat is strictly forbidden . . . so at least that's one less kid swearing at you

It's not just young gamers, it's a lot of young kids in general even though I'm only 15 I know for a fact I wasn't as douchebaggy and disrespectful as the 13 year olds now, most of them are chavs who think they're badass because they're behind a mic/because they have an older brother who is strong or part of a gang.

I hate any kid that tries to threaten me with their 5 year old voice and that is a lot, someone needs to teach them their place. Which is why I suggest Microsoft hires ex-marines to be they're mods and visit them personally every time they try abusing someone over xbox live.

One time on MW2 I trolled the shit out of a little kid trying to get me to send him microsoft points over 360 claiming he was a developer for Microsoft who had exclusive maps, oh the little shi*t's rage over me calling him a little kid and telling him to hack me if he works for Microsoft.

In a way, I know what you mean. When playing Halo 3 I experienced the animosity you clearly do, except my "crime" was being English. I've no problem with giving as good as I get, but hearing "LOLOLOL UR PRESIDENT IS A RETARD AND UR FAT" for the millionth time made me not want to communicate with people because I knew it would end up in a UK vs USA debate 99% of the time.

Now I wish every game/console had private chat because I am sick of having to join a game with friends and mute everyone through fear of becoming retarded via osmosis.

im sorry for my (fellow?) countrymen. they are simply retarded don't pay attention to them.

Not a problem in the slightest, I did mean to explain that the quote I referred to was from MY countreymen, I wasn't very clear as I was slightly inebriated. Basically I was more perturbed at the mindset of the type of person taking part in that sort of "debate" as opposed to a certain nation.

I'm excruiatingly aware we have more than our fair share of online fuckwits.

i agree completely those sorts of debates are stupid anyway since everyone knows canada is the best country evar =p sadly the vast majority of online fuckwits reside in the united states though =/ too much /b/ ... im impressed that you managed to use osmosis correctly while slightly inebriated

There's two things you can do to fix this. Don't use the mic and mute everybody.

People don't do this? Wow, they must go insane trying to concentrate while some kid from Connecticut cranks his radio up right next to his radio while singing along to the music.

OT: When I was younger, I noticed the stereotype as well. Just deal with it. Respect is earned, not given and having an annoying, shrill voice does not encourage tolerance. Do as my master friend Snooty suggests and just cut out the chat all together.
