Swearing on XBL

[Baonec]

OP has never played Halo. Makes the Gears community look like Portal players.

Personally don't ever have much of a problem with halo players worst community i've found is on COD, heaven forbid I ever use a gun that can kill someone quickly instead of my super awesome modded pistol >_>.

I find it quite irritating when the male population of Xbox Live make offensive and sexual comments towards me because I'm a girl.

Sometimes I let them go on for a bit and then lie and say 'sorry, but I'm a fourteen year old boy, really.'

The reactions are classic.

I've met alot (and i use XBL), but its quite easy to ignore.
But my experience with halo was that as i steadily climbed the ranks, people focused alot more on the acually playing, part rather than insulting people (although cursing high rankers do exist). I simply didn't care that much, but sould you care alot, you should quite simply mute people, if their cursing that much anyway theyre probably not part of any big scheme or tactics.

I don't actually think it's possible to play online without being cussed at. If you're good, someone will curse you blind for beating them - if you're bad, you'll be told how much you suck with relevantly added cuss words.

Yeah, no kidding. Some of these kids need to take some prozac and realize it's just a game. That's why I love the mute option and party chat.

As for the intial question of the thread, yeah, I've been yelled at over LIVE too. On Halo, big fucking suprise. Some guy flipped out on me and a friend of mine because we weren't running head first into an enemy stronghold to get bullet raped like he was, so him and his 10 year old buddy just started going nuts on us, calling us pussies and telling us to back them up and run in with them guns blazing.

Long story short, I enjoyed watching them die over and over again.

I usually congratulate people who are better than me. They deserve it, as long as they aren't ego-fuelled assholes after the match.

You were playing Gears of War, what type of players were you expecting to meet.

You good sir, are awesome. Personally I have been quite a few times while playing Halo and can't say I was terribly surprised when there was a 13 year old boy on the other microphone punctuating every word he said with 'fuck'. That's why if I play online now, it's either co-op or a game that doesn't have the compulsory bloodbath and explosions every three seconds that 13 year olds seem to like.

Don't forget this classic, too....

i curse like crazy and i love it, but you know what i hate running into dicks that are 12 playing gears of war, i play gears of war expecting to play with ppl that are atleast 16, if swearing is a problem switch of from underground to another type like family or pro.

It's not always preteens, though. I get a lot of abuse from older players, who think they're God's gift to gaming.

Me and my friends are always swearing on it, thats just because it creates more hype and its fun to encourage the little kids with their ear-splitting shrieking when you mock them for being such noobs.

The reason PSN people never swear it because none of them have Mics, because they are boring losers, playing COD4 or COD:WoW with no people speaking? Hah, what a bunch of losers.

 

[ironfist86]

I find it rather appropriate to swear when you reach the safe-house in l4d, and then promptly punted out a window by a tank. swearing at the game is fine but swearing at other players isn't, in my opinion.

i had that exact same thing happen to me! at the end of the campaign with the farm house, i'm waiting inside of the rescue truck and a stupid tank comes right inside of the thing and kills me! i swore mostly at the ineptitude of the military to defend the damn people they were trying to save, less at my friends who were too damn slow to catch up haha

Yes... they are the ones who are the losers.

I've been cursed at... A LOT... and there have been several racial slurs being fed back and forth between teams and team mates over halo 3... but then again... who really cares? the only reason they curse you off so in depth is because they can't get around the fact that you just shot their head off from across the map no scope (as you usually do... maybe its time to play something else...) so they decide instead of trying to pull that manuver... that it'll just be faster to try to take you down... by your feelings... pansys... suck it up and just CHAINSAW MY ARSE ALREADY!

President Obama swore just the other day, and that was on national tv!

Swearing is a part of life.

I'm in party chat most of the time that I play Xbox. So most of my conversations go
"Oi, get some kills man!"
"What you talking about, get some deaths!"
But on the few occasions I'm out of party chat people advise me to stop killing them or they will hunt me down. I generally wish them luck and go about killing them some more.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

I've often been cursed at. Most frequently in Halo 3 where I literally cannot go a game without having my ears assaulted by the often incredibly young foul-mouthed retards that seem to crop up in every game. Battlefield: Bad Company is sometimes pretty bad as well, though rather than having children swearing instead I get what sounds like an adolescent pot enthusiast. Interestingly enough, I have never heard anyone curse AT someone when playing L4D - instead it's usually normal cursing (Oh shit - smoker got me and now I've been puked on by a boomer and the like)

 

[rawlsku]

I don't get people PAYING to play online in XBL, just to get shrieked at by an army of apes.

But that's their problem.

There should be some game mechanic that people can't talk when they get fragged. just until they respawn their mics get muted. It would cut down on the swearing heard / be a little more realistic. How many soldiers do you hear cuss and call people "wall hackers, aim botter!" after they get shot in the head?

Your playing an online game, anybody here who has played in ANY online game knows that 90% of the people there are a bunch of rude, non caring, offensive swearing whores, who have nothing better to do than to make your day as unplesant as possible. And yes on psn people are the same way.

I haven't seen any evidence of that on PSN. Well, not that "90%" are arseholes. 10% tops.

Xbox Live is home of the retard. On PSN, most of the swearing is of the "shit! I got shot!", as opposed to "Oh my fucking god you fucking fag! I'm going to fucking kill you fucking cocksucker cuntbag!"

Hell, most of the cunts on PSN are the ones with music playing over their headset, rather than 10 year olds shrieking obscenities.

Well maybe it"s just me and I have bad luck cuz everytime I play an online game most of the time I hear "Alpha reaper you F-ing suck", "Alpha likes to suck alpha dick", "Alpha you F-ing ****** your kind is the reason why the world is the F-ed up way it is" (that last one REALLY pissed me the hell off). But hey maybe im just bad with people I don't know.
