Wait, the OP seems to imply that he normally has voice chat on. Take my advice, man. Turn mute all on, download skype and only talk/listen to people who matter.
Has multiplayer lost its point?

I do that (Quit, that is), sort of, in MW2 online.
I never rage-quit (Unless lag is unbearable, or the guy is obviously cheating/glitching), but I do just leave the room and join another. If a group of guys are just slaughtering you, it's just no fun. I can stand losing, but getting beaten severely, multiple matches in a row is just frustrating.
A problem maybe your own attitude towards the multiplayer concept. I play multiplayer parts of a game to have fun, and if you do that it shouldn't matter what random people on the other side of the world are saying/doing at that moment.
But maybe this is because i feel a general emotional disconnection to people i can not look into the eye directly

split screen and co-op are great, as I've said many times on here it's those snot-nosed kids on adult games that spoil the experience for everyone and cause me to hate multiplayer. Unless it's with friends.
[EdIT] this has probably already been said but on the rare occasions I go into a matchmaking I always start a party so I don't have to here them. even if I'm sat on my own I prefer silence to the whining of the youth

Me and my room mates play Timesplitters 2 splitscreen a fair bit. It still has the same charm it did all those years ago. As long as you have friends you want to play split screen with, you can play both the hate-filled, xp fuelled online multiplayer and the chilled, "have a laugh with your friends" multiplayer.
I don't think Multiplayer has lost its point. There is however a big fault with Multiplayer nowadays: The removal of LAN.
Less and less games actually support LAN/System Link or other possibilities to just have some Multiplayer fun with your friends. I don't want to connect every single PC/console to the internet when i can just invite my friends over and see them face to face while playing.

Once split-screen and, bot matches are 100% phased out, that is when multiplayer will have truly dies. At the moment it is merely on life support and alone in the dark...
Oh god this.When your own team mates are freaking out at you for the crime of actually trying to complete the objective and win the game something has gone seriously wrongkidwithxboxlive said:
I don't find that very often in KZ2 multiplayer. I mean yeah I am pretty sure there are levels but for the most part people try to work together and work towards winning rather then racking up XP. Anyone with a mic almost always just tries to get people to go where they are needed. Not random swears.
Warhawk usually has lots of teamwork. I mean that's the basis of the bloody game.
As Well Resistance 1 had amazing multiplayer that has yet to be replicated in the Sequel. Mostly because a lot of us set the game to one hit kills CTF.... Most tense moments ever.

You are right to a degree. A lot of games still do the co-op and multiplayer of the past. And those are good fun. Apart from that I just try to avoid games that have random game joining. Since I use steam I only go into either servers my gaming community runs, or into servers that I have friends in. But if I decide, I want to play so CoDMW2 (which Infinity Ward is make far less common) then I have to subject myself to the horrors of random game joining, with horribly uneven teams and little kids all shouting profanities at once. And yes, then it does seem like pissing into the wind.
Well it's just a market strategy not to offer split screen anymore, more people have to buy consoles and televisions just to play together. So yeah, split-screen is being phased out, except on the Wii. Most of the time if I am playing with a kid (i.e. 12 year old) I pretty much always mute them because they are talking all the time about nothing and I can't even hear people sneaking up/around me and get a bullet in my head for my troubles. Alternatively if you have a bunch of friends who like to play xbox and you want to play with them you could see if there is any interest in finding time to play together.
Definitely had this experience when playing Red Dead Redemption, and if I could've punched Mr. 1000 wins I would have.MetalDooley said:
Nah, I hate split screen. It gets far too competitive and you all just end up watching the other peoples screens to find and kill them.
Online is more like warfare, not knowing where the enemy is. Yeah, you get stuck with all kinds of people but I prefer it.
The leveling system teabags but what can you do?

Seriously pretty much all these problems are console only issues.
