Firendliest Multiplayer Community

[Phenakist]

Just to join in on what everyone else has said every other post....

TF2, assuming you get a decent server, which isn't hard to find, it took me months to get anyway decent and to find out what I'm good at (Soldier, despite not being my favourite) and got virtually no greif, except fro ma couple of trolls, but they were trolls, and were generally trolling, so that doesn't count.

If you're going "MMO", Guild Wars, nice mature community, just dont' go near Pvp, they are elitist as hell, so don't go near that until you know every imaginable acronym, get a decent guild and yer sorted.

Halo.

Now now, I know that sounds utterly ridouclous, but all of the screaming adolcents left Halo back when COD became the "cool" game to play.

Um...it's the internet...there is no friendliness in the internet. Heck I don't even have friends anymore since I quit playing FPS games. Nobody wants to play with a guy that prefers co-op to multiplayer glitch abuse >.>

I'm currently playing some killing floor online and people seem to be kind and helpful.

 

[Sovereignty]

Kingdom Under Fire community was the best.

All of my still current Xbox live friends were made there.

Seriously. I never ran into a single tween on that game.

 

[DSK-]

Probably the EU UT2004 community for me. I have yet to see better.

 

[sneakypenguin]

CODS nice, join a lobby talk to some ppl then you can spend the rest of the evening destroying fools with a full team.

 

[Celestil]

Rift has been very nice, i have yet to come across any unfriendly people.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is pretty good on the PS3. I think this might just be because people who actually want to communicate and do teamwork buy mics.

Though I normally play hardcore, that's probably where the worst is. Sometimes people just get frustrated (or are dicks like my brother) and kill their team mates.

I did like the Uncharted 2 community they were fun and light hearted dudes, some bad eggs but otherwise they were cool

In my experience....a friendly multiplayer community is less likely then finding a gamer girl, they MUST exist, I've seen their foot prints in the snow -.-

Rifters are pretty fun, might have just been that I joined along with some good mates who let me into their nice guild though.

Once the pricks who didn't understand how to play left the Bulletstormers were nice, but possibly because it was one of the few where the online component was not about ruining someone's day.

On the whole I've never had any problems with Halo, and only a few with CoD4, I guess I must be lucky. Not being a girl probably helps.

For the most part, and from 98% of my experience, the Company of Heroes community is pretty friendly.

Indeed, I think I've found one or two idiots there. Games that require teamwork or you die very quickly tend to give a generally OK community from my experience. Older games also tend to have a decent community (CS:S, for example), as most anyone who plays them still play because they want to have fun with it and not stress over it. Even the 12-year-old kids I've found there are good fun and civil.

Eve online hands down, even the gms will speak to you personally and have chats before vanishing in their amazing shiny ships

The Battlefield 2 community is very friendly.
Especially if you play Project Reality

Bullcrap, in my years of playing Battlefield 2, there have been several instances where douchewads made themselves present. Assholes that will purposely spawn camp your ass by rolling a tank over you, bombarding you with infinite grenades, sniper nesting your crap, and corner camping every segment of the map, just because your commander is AFK, looking at loli porn. Oh yes, need a vehicle? Too bad, the same asswipe keeps stealing the jets to bombard the enemy spawn, which is empty, because that's all they know how to do. If you feel the need to offer helpful advice or offer to co-pilot, this is the general response...

- ...
- you cant fly
- I dont need one
- qq more nub

If you actually manage to find a half-decent server where a team might work together now days, then I'm proud of you. Other than that, expect the same scenario over and over again.

Oh yes, the server rules are my favorite part.

- No camping or BAN
- No vehicle rushing
- No capping enemy points beyond another certain point
- No vehicle whoring
- No unlocks
- Recon only or BAN
- No kicking/killing commander or BAN
- No C4 or BAN

Other than that, the game is still reasonably fun, just not the community part.

They are? I keep getting yelled at on TF2 for not having fifty million kills and no deaths. I'd say Starcraft, most of the people are willing to give tips if you ask at least in my experience.

Are you kidding? The Starcraft community is full of dicks (no offense to any Starcraft players, not saying that YOU necessarily are a dick, I love the Craft RTSs), especially those who play DOTA (yes offense to DOTA players, if you think DOTA is fun there is clearly something wrong with you), who tend to say things along the lines of "RAWRRG YOU NOOB LEAVE THE GAME AND STOP FEEDING YOU NOOOOB YOU'RE A **** LEAVE NOW" even when you're only slightly below average.

The best community I've found has been in the Battlefield series, because everyone there is looking for a good team-oriented that requires communication and cooperation (unlike TF2 where you can pretty much do whatever you what without talking to anyone and still help your team win), so people that play it tend to be friendly, unless you start being a douche yourself (ie one time I tried walking in front of my squadmates tank and he immediately yelled "GET OUT OF THE WAY DUMBASS!", although to his defense he didn't actually run over and teamkill me, again showing how BF has a great community.) I'm excluding the Bad Company series of course, since
the first was only on consoles so they had to deal with their shitty community and the second drew from the CoD community, by, you know, completely ripping off CoD with blood splattering on-screen and regenerative health, and those players tend to be uncommunicative, idiotic, lone-wolf assholes.

That's not being an asshole, that's just using tactics that you can't figure out how to counter. Pro-tip: If you're being spawncamped, spawn at another base and come back with a tank, or if one isn't available, pick them off from long distances with a sniper rifle. I don't remember anything about being able to get infinite grenades in that game, besides, the grenade has a long enough fuse that you have time to run away.

Okay yeah the jet guys are generally assholes, but flying is damn hard in that game, and I would be pissed off too if I was running towards a get only to see some noob get in it and crash it 10 seconds later. Besides, there's offline play if you really wanna learn how to use aircraft, and in a team-oriented game it's only courteous to stick to what you're good at.

I have to agree on this one. Seriously, dedicated server runners, either put your stupid custom rules in your server title or use them only on unranked servers. I especially hated the "no fighting commander" rule since being the commander was boring and you usually had a good 5-10 seconds to kill in between giving orders and using assets in which you could easily fire some potshots at the enemy team before ducking back into cover like the coward you are.
