This collection of people who show up frighteningly often on Xbox live is exactly why I stopped playing. I distinctly remember the team leader in Ghost Recon being genuinely offended when he was barking orders and nobody cared/listened. He'd say things like "I need situational awareness guys, tell me when an area is clear."
I couldn't help but laugh but even more so when he got offended. Of course, the reason he got so irritated was because nobody followed his "orders" or played along with his military-speak. Started yelling and saying he could "take them on his own" and that "we would never pass in the army." After a play commented on that, they got into a heated argument mid-match about how "gay" the Navy was.
I've come to the conclusion that Xbox Live has the worst multiplayer community that has ever been established. For many reasons, one of which I discussed above. I don't mention PS3 here because, well, I don't have any experience with multiplayer on PS3.
i have actually seen a person with all of the traits posted!!he was a complete idiot and in the end,in team deathmatch on CoD5,even his teammates were trying to knife him in the back!
It's funny when you get a drill sargeant give out a million orders in, like, twelve seconds then you just hear the two mutes on your team sigh at once.
And you forgot "the Apologist"-the guy who keeps saying sorry about his ping, his connection, how he's tired, how he was abused as a child etc, etc. They may not be as common but they're easily the wierdest-apart from those on PSN that like to confuse everyone by using the PSEye mic (and all the echoes and stuff it brings) rather than a £10 heady.
What about the BRAGGER. Those who constantly tell you how good they're doing - "oh man, I just got a double kill" - as if you didn't already see it on the HUD. The Braggers think everyone should acknowledge how great they're playing, even if their greatness is only relative to their own modest skillz to begin with.
im a mute. the headset is never on though, im kinda shy... lol
every one is an effing lone-wolf. i cant believe how many times ive died in WaW and people i KNOW have second chance just stand there while i bleed out or just jumps over my last standing, dying ass. rarely do people even try to play as a team, everyones mentality is set to free-for-all...
i am not sure what category i fall under, either lone wolf or gobshite or drill sergeant, but i only have to be drill sergeant when my team is doing shitty!
i hate the people that are good at fps's...then they go around talking about going into the military and being a sniper...im like "just becuase u can snipe in cod4 doesnt mean u can go around being an actual sniper"...do they seriously think that good video game skills translates into good actual gun skills
