Halo Wars. honestly i like the game, and the person who you are facing or teaming with is always polite and and just talking strategy. At least in my experience. I know its not a shooter, but its the best console RTS adaptation there is
360 Games With Good Communities

Well I have Team Fortress 2 on the 360 and the PC already and you will NEVER catch me choosing the 360 version over the PC version.
Yup. Usually smaller games have better communities. And I've found that you should stay way from the "Pro" category you can pick for yourself. Put yourself in recreation. Even when playing Halo I really don't come across that many idiots. I'm assuming it's because all the "cool" kids put themselves into the "pro" section. =pElephantGuts said:
Best thing to do is just ranked games, when you get up to the higher ones its usualy betterElephantGuts said:
I didn't think that was possible, but it's good to know. Thanks for the heads up.Psychosocial said:No, but the players are worse than the Halo 3 people you hear about all of the time. It's really fun, but unplug your mic or go into a party instead.Symp4thy said:
Is there some sort of game or quests happening in online play or is it just sandbox?
This... Any game that outright requires teamwork to survive. Really they all require teamwork, but random people hardly ever work together online. So the games that force the issue have better communities. Gears 2 Horde is a good example, and L4D, but OP did say they already have it for PC, so no luck there.Douk said:
TF2, GoW2, and L4D have better than average communities. IMHO, L4D is the best because the game requires teamwork to succeed. Even great players need to be picked up now and then. When a boomer sprays somebody down it's to everybody's advantage to say, "You crouch and I'll get head shots to get those guys off you."
Games like COD4 (which I'm playing exclusively right now) benefit from teamwork but they don't demand it in the same way that L4D of GoW2 does. Without that teamwork demand people are free to be jerks to each other.

Well his idea had nothing to do with the OP. The OP was asking what games have good communities, and he said Halo 3 is okay (which it clearly isn't), and then explained he meant that it's good if you don't actually get involved with the community, which is not what the OP was asking about.BolognaBaloney said:
Which is understandable, but he was just trying to contribute to the discussion. His topics may not have been exactly what the OP was asking for, but he wasn't flaming or trolling, he was just trying to throw his two-cents out there.ElephantGuts said:
There is so many factors that you just can't say. I have found most communities to be good. I have rarely ran into the 12yr old racist homophobe that sings in his or her mic. I have found that if you treat people with a little respect you get the same in return. And when someone starts accusing others of things like cheating because they are winning it usually doesn't bode well for the individual.ElephantGuts said:
Actually, if you want a rather unusual game, I've heard that Shadowrun still has a very close community that helps new players. Haven't played the game in over a year, but it was fun while it lasted.
Also, try out the games that have smaller communities. Games like Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts and Lost Planet tend to avoid the unsavory characters that come with larger games.

Surprisingly its the same kids who play halo yet Gears changes them into likeable dudes. O_Owgreer25 said:
ME: Hey guys I've got the boomshot and they only have 4 shots so if you could-
Teammate1: Oh sorry man I took the ammobox right when you said that. Don't worry I got your back till it respawns!
Me: Thanks man, in the meantime lets get some mortar support across the bridge.
Teammate2: Already on it, there's a sniper rifle if anyone wants more ammo.
Teammate3: Cool thanks. (He has a view of everything I suppose) 2 sires coming around the side. They'll be behind you!
that was a real convo and it we finished all 50 levels before that major patch.
I am aware of that, which was why I wasn't particularly cruel in my response to him. In fact I was quite literally asking him if he was joking, since he said, "but no really halo 3 is OK i suppose" when it is notoriously the worst of such games, and the OP had specifically mentioned it as such.BolognaBaloney said:
