Is it me or is there seemingly more and more idiots getting headsets now.. I was on last night and there was some irish dude having a go at someone for no reason.. Someone asked me what was goin on and i just said i didn't know, they were just being aholes, to which Mr attitude turned on me and then turned on some scottish bloke who told him to shut up. Where are these people coming from? I'm all for a bit of banter and a laugh but for gods sake it's a video game, it's not real life. Grow up or fk off.. why do ppl have to come on and be an ahole..?? Off soapbox now.... biggrin

Sounds like PSN is catching up to the levels of childish abuse on XBox Live, hence why I only play with people I know online these days.

You should try playing on xbox live, ALL the idiots have headsets.

Fortunately its easy to mute them.

There are a few catagories.

1. American Racist

2. American OH HELL YEAH YEAH YEAH TAKE THAT YOU B...

3. American 4 year old who knows more swear words than Frankie Boyle.

4. American Homophobes.

Can you see where this is going??

Xbox live gets team killers as well now. Either they think it's funny, have mates on the other side or are just complete idiots and will kill as many of your team as possible with a rocket from the outset. So on search & destroy you spend the whole time watching the 1-2 team mates left get nailed.

The majority of the time (and unless you are playing with people you know) mics are annoying and useless.

On cod4 if you ask people to follow you to the flag or something they ignore you anyway, so what's the fking point?

it really does get on my tits, its usually some 12 year old kid talking a load of crap and having random irrelevant conversations with someone.

It got on my tits too, but then I havent played any games at all in... about 6 months.

I didnt mind a bit of bad language or the random chats, for me the worst problem was the totally uncalled for emotional aggression, which would spiral out of control into an argument or bickering between parties. I dont have a mic so never participated, but more often than not, someone would be muted in most games during a firefight.

The only other really tiresome tosh was the playing of music in the background, or heavy breathing. Or the whole team having to listen to some muppet chat to his family/friends.

Another favourite is screaming feedback...ugh

I think there's one game which automatically mutes everyone else if you don't have a mic plugged in yourself. Simple genius.

Motorstorm had that. You get people starting "mics only" lobbies, only for millions of people without mics to join anyway, stupid idiots.

It's so annoying that you can't actually mute the player from your PSN list rather than in game only. COD4 allows you to mute people in game but as soon as you get back to the lobby you can hear the pre-pubescent pricks with their high pitched voices talking bks.

What, like the Claymore incident earlier?

If you had a mic then you could join in!
