Wow, Reality Hits - Older Gamers Are Awesome

Last night a bunch of us 2old2play people enjoyed a bit of CoD4. After Zikan and a few others left I figured I'd "wrap it up" with a few team deathmatches and go to bed. I hoped into a random game, ended up in the tail end of a sniper war. I jumped in, and about 30 seconds later the match ends.

It was then I started getting verbally abused for having 0 kills and being a total useless piece of shit. I was silent... in awe of the experience, just listening to the dude yelling at me. I simply said "dude, just bounced in 30 seco...SHUT UP, YOU'RE USELESS" was his interruption. Followed by "I hope that piece of shit isn't on my team next time" - match is made, and he's on the opposite team "good, the fucking useless piece of shit is on the other team, good, you guys have fun with him."

Of course, after that we won the match so I had to say something along the lines of "hey? Where is loud mouth? Wha? You're not talking now that we kicked your ass? Hey, I only got 8 kills but luckily most were against you."

The only dignified response was "dude, I'm so high, I don't even care, I'm wasted. I don't care what you say about me, you'll never meet me anyway."

What a strange situation. I now understand why 10k plus registered members arrived at 2old2play.com. Normally, I just sit back in the shadows doing editing, news postings and getting submissions that users push to us on the homepage. I'm not a big multi-player type of guy and I have no desire to play games like Halo. Call of Duty is fun though, I like the realistic weapons. And I've played many PGR3 games and Forza games with those on my friends list - never random folks.

Wow, it's a different world outside my friends list. I should prefer x Devil x or whatever his name was so that I can shit on him next time he gets his 12 year old ass into the game. Maybe even pee on him.

Know exactly what you mean. I was playing a game on Warhawk the day it came out here in the UK and we were all newbies. This young kid was shouting torrents of abuse stuff you wouldnt even say to your enemy calling us noobs and telling us we should quit gaming. Thing is all of were talking to each other asking questions except this one kid who just kept interupting us with go away noobs etc.

which is E-X-A-C-T-L-Y why the Friends List needs to be expanded and a party system needs to be a mandatory feature in all MP games. Since not many people play shadowrun anymore, i've had to subject myself to a lot of public matches. Usually i have 2 or 3 other 2o2p people with me and we hit the pubs. Last night i got into a match with 2 kids arguing with each other for 6 rounds. Another kid team killing our entire team because he's sucks so bad he can't kill the enemy. Another kid showing of his rapper skillz like one of us in the room is a rep from a record company or something. There's just a never ending amount of bullshit in those public rooms.

Dude, good blog (though I think you meant to say Gamers in the title, not Games ;) ). I cannot stand public matches when I'm all alone. I'm okay if I have a couple of friends on my side, cause then we could at least be civil to each other.

I'll tell you, as often lately that I've been in Timmieville, I've found some cool folks out there. With Timmies acting like Timmies, there's always somdbody on that needs to hear about 2o2p. Been a pretty fertile recruiting ground at the moment. I just mute the shit out of the annoying ones. Got some pretty good feedback from those guys I've told how to do it........ :)

Funny, my buddy wanted to try the beta last night and I said Im not up for another Halo 3 beta experiance on XBL. We played Company of Heroes instead. What a blast that game is.
