Things that annoy you while playing online

[AngryMan]

2) The Irritating Perks - By these I mean Last Stand, Martyrdom and Juggernaut. All incredibly cheap, generally used by kids or people with low game knowledge, and are all put on this Earth solely to piss me off. Juggernaut especially.

I don't get why these perks are so supposedly annoying.

Especially Juggernaut, because those of us who use it die just like everyone else. Seriously, I've killed my fair share whilst not using it, and been killed while using this perk so it's not like it makes you invincible. Tougher, yes, but not game-breakingly so, I don't think... The trick is to get the drop on the Juggernaut. ambush them, and odds are that they'll be too dead for it to matter.

Last stand: just put an extra round or two into them as they go down for good measure. I use this perk a fair bit myself, and I think my total number of kills whilst in last stand mode is maybe five, out of hundreds of kills scored more conventionally. Most of the time, people are smart enough to shoot you again to make sure.

Martyrdom: that grenade has a 2.5 second fuse. That's more than enough time to get away. Hell, I once stabbed a man, realised he was a martyr, and was around the corner and safe from the explosion a full second before it went off. Pretty certain he had Sonic Boom as well...

My only real gripe with CoD4 multiplayer is with the P90. I'm convinced that it's overpowered relative to the other SMGs. I know for a fact that my first ever seven-kill streak was earned whilst using a silenced P90 I picked up off a fallen teammate (I'm only level 28, so they aren't available to me yet)

Having said that, my second seven-kill streak was earned using the basic sniper rifle, a silenced USP.45, and my knife. Twice. So, maybe I'm just getting better at the game.

If you want REALLY annoying in CoD4 multiplayer, try playing "Search and Destroy" when your team includes one or two guys with RPGs and Sonic Boom, who like to start the round by RPGing the ground at their feet, thereby killing half the team before the match has even begun. It's impossible to win when six members of a fifteen-man team are dead before anyone's even picked up the bomb.

When someone falsely accuses me of hacking, that's OK. I take that as a compliment, as this means they find my skill in the game to be inhuman.

When they try to get me kicked from the server for said skill, that's pushing it a bit.

If they won't shut the damn hell up about it, that's crossing the line.

 

[tcolberg]

Whenever a female gamer is in the match, the sexism starts gushing. I don't like hearing it in the first place, but I'm always hearing about how such behavior discourages the opposite gender from playing a lot of games.

I'm always hearing racism when playing Halo 3. At one point, someone was throwing out so many epithets I just had to yell at him, "Stop saying those awful thing, you racist! RACIST!". Miraculously, the guy stopped and apologized. I think he was just shocked that be was being called out with a term that stops many Americans these days in their tracks.

Today, someone did a ball park whistle while I had my headset on. Even though the volume was reasonable for normal voices, the whistle was piercing. I had to take my headset off for the rest of the match as my ear was still sensitive for several minutes.

My online pet peeve is an odd one, but it's people who don't understand what makes a map fun.

An example to clear things up. In Battlefield 2: Special Forces there is a map called the Iron Gator, where a team of US Marines must defend an aircraft carrier from some Middle Eastern Insurgents attempting to wrest control of it from their grasp.

On 32 or 64 player versions of the map, the Insurgents start off on the shore and must board the carrier, because the real fun on that map is close quarters fighting inside the carrier.

What happens every time is the entire USMC team will go up on the flight deck and shoot down any attempt to board the carrier. There isn't a great deal that the insurgent team can do about it, they only have one helicopter, which is easily shot down and the jet skis that they have in abundance have no armour and no weapons.

The same thing happens on Wake Island on vanilla BF2, where one team starts on a carrier (hmm, spotting a theme) and must get to the island. What will happen, pretty much every time, unless the opposing team are grossly incompetent is that jet pilots will bombard the carrier constantly, making it difficult to even get off it, let alone get to the island. It takes more than a little luck to capture a spawn point in the island so the actual game can begin.

The thing is, I find it annoying whichever team I'm on, probably because I can't fly in BF2 to save my life.

 

[CodeChrono]

Playing games that don't have a mute function. :_(

 

[MindBullets]

Delayed respawn. What's the point in stopping you from respawning for any amount of time if it's not a single elimination game?

 

[SADASS]

I know i going to slapped for saying this, but i hate strafejumping. I don't mind when on maps that don't focus on actual stratergy (surf, awp, aim, etc) but when a few guys fly in almost after respawn and waste every one, it is really annoying. =/

Also people who find it so -very- important that everyone listen to their music, it effectively kills the fun.

 

[Charley]

Personally, I don't mind kids playing games online... I use ventrilo to talk to people I actually want to talk to, rather than subjecting myself to bad english and chuck norris gags all day.

However, I *really* hate finding a server run by a reasonable clan that hates bunnyhopping/strafejumping/martyrdom teamkills etc etc, only to have the clan running it decide they want to expand their membership. Suddenly every jackass within a ten mile radius has the clan tag and is a server admin, armed with new powers of continuous bunnyhopping, the ability to teamkill as many people as they like and on top of that, they're allowed to kick/ban anyone who has a problem with their new addition.

It makes me sad

6) Helicopters - Calling in a Chopper is a great idea because whoever is flying the bloody thing and firing the guns always seem to be able to see/shoot through brick walls.

7) People who stand around doing bugger all - Ever been spectating the last one on your team left on Search and Destroy and he's standing there in an obscure corner of the map and has presumably run off to the toilet or something? Annoying, isnt it?

13) Headquarters on Shipment against a team of 12-year old kids with grenade launchers - f**king kill me now!

Couldn't agree more actually, but -

6) Replace the helicopter with a pack or two of the dogs from single player. That'd be hilarious.

7) Worse still are the people on the attacking team cosied up in the furthest corner crouching, looking into their sniper scope, then going prone. Rinse, repeat for thirty minutes.

13) Free-for-All on Shipment with any more than four people. Try it, go on. I dare you not to scream in fury.

 

[blaze96]

No there is no excuse for shipment that map just sucks. I don't see why people hate juggernaut (it may just be that I use stopping power which seems to negate juggernaut entirely) but why is it so bad.

 

[erikvduyn]

it would probably...scratch that, it IS the idiot americans who just shout all the time and laugh at you when you just speak in your language to a friend for about 2 fucking seconds or just say you're being a n00b if you kill them.

 

[Meliz]

i spoke dutch a bit on BF2 and every freakin' american fratboy started calling me out as an arab douchebag (and that i should go home to my own god damn country cuz they don't want my kind over there).

first of all, welcome to the internet, where all nationalities just mix up.
Secondly, I wouldn't live in america if you paid me. a lot.
thirdly, there's languages besides english (which was often referred to in the sentence "speak american, towelhead!") Mine is Dutch. loop nu effe zeiken.
Fourthly, i AM home, numbnuts. again, this is the internet. Let me show u it.
fifthly, i shot and killed you because you're standing still like a douchebag in the middle of the road waiting for the freakin' hand of god to come help you or something. maybe ups is sending mail via parachute to inch-by-inch exact locations or something, i dunno. but you're standing there in the open and i have a sniper rifle. It's one of those "survival of the best equipped" things.
number six. running around shooting the floor and the dirt and the sky and your teammates is not skill. neither is yelling about how big your dick is. we've seen your mom's website and there's proof you're hung like a ken-doll.
number seven. there's a reason i didn't take the plane you wanted. not because you can pilot it better, because i don't lawndart it every time i step into one - and when i do i bail and shoot people with that thing i'm holding. yes, you can shoot with that. fancy that. The REAL reason i didn't take the plane is that i put every satchel charge i had in the engines, and i'm just waiting for you to take off and then i'm blowing you up for amusing screenshots just as your tires leave the runway.

now sit in a corner quietly and give your rifle's end a violent blowjob.

also, thanks to the numerous british, mexicans, canadians, chinese, indians, 12-year-olds, and girls that have taken it up with douchy baggy american fratboys like this - not saying all americans or fratboys are like this, but there was a very obvious pattern in those games - especially the 12 year old mexican who gone and cleared an entire carrier deck of douchebag teammates using his propellor blades as the awesomest lawnmower killing machine i have ever seen, AND THEN he flew up and shot down a helicopter with two more douchebags in it who couldn't be arsed to wait three seconds for some more people to get in. I never did get your name, but if this sounds like you, let me know. I owe you something for making me laugh so hard i shat myself. seriously.

come to think about it, he must be, what, 16-18 by now? Think of that potential skill he must have. jesus. i bet he can kill people by sneezing nowadays.

 

[Anarchemitis]

Being patronized by Canadian stereotypes.

I have a phrase for you. You may want to locate the nearest leather thong or tiny mammal to bite down on, 'cause if you're like me it could cause seizures:

"Blame Canada!"

... nnng, it's no easier when you do it yourself. Fuck you, South Park. I can barely mutter out "I'm from Toronto" before half a dozen people regurgitate that ancient spew.

On the other hand, I have a vast amount of fun spreading misinformation and lies, so whenever people start displaying their ignorance I see no reason why I shouldn't do my best to foster it. It's going to flourish in my absence anyway, and convincing some twit that the King of Canada visited my very first dogsled race makes me gleeful with malice.

Don't you get it? if you die in Canada, you die in Real Life!

 

[Kukakkau]

mmorpg beggars, corpse campers and people killing anyone LOADS of levels lower than them (shows your sad existence if you hunt them down)
again xbox live children - WHO gets these things for their children? read the box 16+ and 10 year olds are playing? although ill admit some are allright high pitched voices can be annoying but they dont scream and moan
speaking of which... players who CRY when they get their assses handed to them. SERIOUSLY happened to people on my team numerous times. then when the game ends when they got a slightly better score - "dude i totally owned you"
CoD4 i dont like people who refuse to prestige.. my opinion but whats the point in just staying with monotonus killing for ages? chance to repeat challenges, use every weapon (not just the goddam M16 (overpowered to hell)) and actually give you a goal again...minus the golden guns of too much free time
people who leave when they start to lose eg. sabotage- the bomb is planted 4/6 players leave
speaking of which people who play team TACTICAL games and go kill seeking - yes you might help a bit but what use is 4 people in the enemy base when they have the bomb? (yes i like sabotage but shut up)
overkill users in CoD4.... DONT pick a gun if you cant deal with its weaknesses eg. sniper- oh no hes getting close..oh whatdya know i have a shotgun too
martyrdom users....no explanation needed
mmorpg ninjas - bit frustrating but not the end of the world
spawn campers
TWINKSS - the main reason i stopped playing WoW (other than cost) what fun + challenge is there in pvp when you can 1 hit kill people on your level?
lag as always
racist americans - worst example i heard was when a host lagged out "dude its probably a black guy. he probably doesnt even have his own connection probably stealing someone elses"
another example is since im scottish they always go "lol skirt wearer" ...just no
speaking of americans "you nerds should spen less time playing war games and more time fighting for something important like america" "and what does america fight for?" ....match long silence

anyways one of these days a comment wont end in a rant
also my gamertag is my username add at will i need people to play against

 

[Kukakkau]

The REAL reason i didn't take the plane is that i put every satchel charge i had in the engines, and i'm just waiting for you to take off and then i'm blowing you up for amusing screenshots just as your tires leave the runway.

i salute you dear sir

 

[MrHappy255]

Yeah I love bein called a noob cause I am trying to get kills on a hunk of crap weapon and I only play once every two weeks and so get my ass handed to me for a while, then cause I get ticked I switch to another weapon and bring up my score and ya never hear a word positive.

Personally if you get a good kill on me I always say nice shot or whatever cause I am truly impressed but what does not impress me is when I get headshot by the same guy from across the map and he is using a pistol? Hmmm.

Yeah people are really good but I mean cmon I don't suck but that to me appears impossible. If you are that good wow just I have trouble believing it.

BTW I play online on PC only to avoid most of the annoing people like my little cousins deal with on ps3 and xbox. I played COD4 on ps3 with them and I wanted to find out where those punks lived and go pay em a visit. That would have made me smile for at least a week. Punks.

 

[Jawless]

Well that's a shame. I read page 1 and 5, skipping all the middle ones (yes, I'm a fag like that) and had a basic idea of what I was going to write down in my post, but it's turned into a porno discussion. Or has it?

Only time will tell, but there's enough quotes there to make me feel less brave about changing the subject. Maybe I will though..maybe I will..
