I often play MW2 with my best mate and his 11year old cousin. All 3 of us are pretty decent players (the cousin being the best, K/D 2.1) admittedly me and my mate have a moan with the odd "bloody hell" thrown in but the 11year old swears alot and gets stroppy everytime he dies even when everyone tells him to keep a lid on it.
I would say the problem is letting young kids play games which were made for people older than them, simple as.

Hell, just beat the first few levels on Demon's Souls and it is already a pure test of patience. You remember Abadox? That was probably the hardest game I've ever played. My brother and I would leave the NES on for weeks trying to beat it cause it didn't have a save feature.AC10 said:
Yeah, I have little to no patience with younger gamers. I think it all got used up back when I was a class officer for the class of choice for younger kids in WOW. The amount of abuse I got from them because I told them that their build was wrong for raiding and that if they didn't change it, they weren't raiding with us was insane.
Also, my most recent encounter involved some young kid sending me a voice message on Xbox Live shrieking at me (in a very high pitched voice) to 'start the f****** game you dumb f*****" because we had been in the lobby waiting for what he felt was too long has reminded me of how little I like younger players.

I take slight offense to you saying that all kids are whiny shits. I'm fourteen, and yes, I do rage sometimes, but I mostly keep my calm and accept when I loose as the other guys being better. Sure, ninety nine percent of this generation are stupid and should shut the hell up, but there are some of us (like every other generation) that are normal people that are just young.
I agree with that statement.For some reason,us 16 year old gamers have been getting quite the yelling at us for no reason whatsoever.randomrob said:
OT:I think that age,while being a big contributor,is not the only reason why the younger children are these rage filled bags of hate and scorn.I think that role models and parenting don't get looked at enough.In this generation,most kids get their role models from video games and television.And there aren't all that many positive role models within that media.
Don't forget the trolls!Fredrick2003 said:
On a tad more serious note, I'm 13, and while I knew people hated me, I didn't realize everyone hated me. I've planned out my entire life until I graduate from college! I spell check everything I post on the internet. I've found an equal number of immature name-calling swearing just because they think it's funny 20 year-olds as 12 year-olds. Why do we get the hate?
I've heard so many kids screaming at the mic on games its aggravating, a British kid was screaming at me because I wouldn't move my sentry gun so he could put his there, and that my dispenser placement wasn't blocking any vital entry points of the base. I always assumed the dispenser was for healing and reloading, and I think the teamates huddled around it agree.
this. there were some games that literally had me in tears and raging the fuck with my heels hammering the floor and my fists pounding my bed. thanks alot mario party mini games. fuck you and your broken luck mechanics.Quiet Stranger said:
once i got to about age 10 tho i stopped being the super overly competitive person and i enjoyed games no matter winning or losing, and i think alot of kids online are just too competitive and need to take it down a few notches. I have a friend like this who to this day plays games only for competitiveness, and simply rages and message spams the fuck out of people saying "need a pillow?" "YOU MAD?", and it gets quite annoying (mind you, he is 21, so he doesn't count for the younger gamers)
its part of a cycle, at some point you get mad, some point your chill as fuck, some point you get annoyed as fuck, i just learn to deal with it and not let it bother me.
Uncharted 2 shipped with multiplayer. So will Dead Space 2. And the upcoming Assassins'S Creed 2.5. I know that some people like multiplayer, but I fear that soon, good single player won't exist anymore. We'll just be stuck with this online shit that I just don't want. Developers shouldn't shoehorn multiplayer into games, it's a waste of time. What do you think?Optimus Hagrid said:
It's a trend that most kids are going through at that age these days. (That might seem repetitive, but read on.) Not only is that the tumultuous and notorious period of the beginning of puberty, but modern children have had less education at home about the proper way to behave. There are lots of parents who let anything go.
Then again, I still yell at the screen and I'm 24/F. Maybe it's just a human thing.

Alas, they get more potential for acting as role-models than most other mediums. Its rather sad, actually. I guess I should be grateful that, at least for the short term future, I don't really have to deal with those kinds of people in my life. They go and be rage-prone and wierd somewhere far away from me.Turnip Taco said:
