Haha very good, I can relate to all of these one time or another. The guy playing hiphop through his headset, how annoying is that?

hahaha I love how they show HALO for the "shoot ppl 100 times and it does nothing" bit.

...So true, I hate that game...

#9, big problem on GTA 4. Most of the time it's little kids who try to act tough (youngest I've seen was 8 years old).

You could also add, people who insist on yelling and scream every time they get hit by someone or they get shot at.

Oh, and when a group of people start arguing about something stupid and then before you know it, you have about 4 or more people yelling at each other all at the SAME F*****G TIME!
Usually, this (the shouting match) lasts about 5 minutes, but you will only have to listen to half of it before your headset explodes in your ear.

I could go on and on. But theres too much to write/type. I should write a essay..."no"..report..."NO"...A GUIDE!
A "complete" guide in to the mind of a noob. I have searched for something like it but theres nothing out there. So, I'm going to write it and (try to) post it in the forums.

That "getting shot a million times only to die by one bullet" thing is probably the most annoying right now. Seems to happen CONSTANTLY in BF1943.

I hate those little pricks that quit on UFC Undisputed when I'm just about to tap them out

quitters and laggers are the worst imo.

yeah, I hate the one kid who thinks he's hot sh*t in the lobby, but when the game's done and he's been thoroughly destroyed, he starts making up reasons for loss. That, and when losers quit. especially when they're on MY team!

wait I just remembered something from when I did have online.
I was playing Mario kart on balloon fight and EVERY TIME I got a mega mushroom, so did my opponent, EVEN WHEN HE WAS NO WHERE NEAR AN ITEM BLOCK, when I got a shell, he got a mega mushroom altough he did not touch an item block since forever. I THINK HE WAS CHEATING!! Just wondering, is that anyone here at gamesradar?

Not a huge fan of online games, its 2009 and most problems from a decade ago still exist.
woot117  - 3 months 23 days ago 
havne't had much problem with other people but sometimes it pisses me oof becuase some people can be such stupid fucks online. like when you play a game with a whiny bitch who screams "THATS FUCKING CHEAP" every time they get killed. or if you accidentally shoot them in the back they act like you shot them in the back in real life.

man i wish i had xbox live but scince my house is retarded i would need like a 50 foot ethernet cable to do it. cccccccrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaapppppppppp!!!!!!

What annoys me is when people give you negative feed back on xbox live because you won't accept their freind request. Just because I dont want everyone I've ever talked to online to be my freind doesn't mean I'm being inapropriate or unsporting maybe you need more freinds but I have plenty, now leave me ALONE!
