- bigpun, on 11/13/2009, -1/+111Some douchebag abusing other douchebags on the Internet, hardly an experiment.
- jb5150, on 11/13/2009, -2/+63With Dedicated Servers on the PC you could take care of that with a few keystrokes!
- SNESChalmers, on 11/13/2009, -2/+52The Australian one was pretty good, but the others were ok at best. Trying to use logic with a 12 year old? That's like trying to teach a dog to poop in the toilet. Every once in a while you'll find a dog who can do it, but usually you'll just end up with a bathroom smeared with feces.
- MWeather, on 11/13/2009, -4/+52I don't see the problem. Just ban them from the serve... Oh, right. I forgot.
- MonkeyNews, on 11/13/2009, -2/+44"people seem to be a bit more gentlemanly"
Is this guy ***** serious? People are dicks, no matter what game or platform you play on. - jordanlgta, on 11/13/2009, -0/+35I'm reminded daily that I'm a "*****" on Xbox Live.
- ParaSwarm, on 11/13/2009, -0/+34You ride a Harley? That's your own fault.
- Bulletbillx, on 11/13/2009, -0/+25yes.
1. Go to My Xbox and open your profile.
2. Select Edit Profile, Privacy Settings.
3. Select Voice and Text, then choose either Everyone or Friends Only.
-then only your friends wont be muted. - SpeedSteamBoat, on 11/13/2009, -1/+25Then you leave and connect to a different server run by non-douches, which still a lot easier than avoiding douches in random match-ups.
- lucasftw, on 11/13/2009, -0/+21yeah, this isn't fighting the idiots, this is being one of them.
I indiscriminantly mute everyone else in the lobby. I haven't looked yet, but is there a way to automatically mute everyone? - Electric_Sheep, on 11/13/2009, -0/+21Strange. I've been playing MW2 on xbox live for the past 2 days and i've not experienced ANY verbal bashing in the slightest. It's mostly people asking where everyone is from. Maybe i've just been lucky?
And i'd dare say those examples on funnycrave were made up. - StrangeFamous, on 11/13/2009, -5/+25From the comments:
"Luis, obviously you don't grasp the concept of the internet or online gaming. The only reson either exist is to anonymously talk *****, that's how it has been since the very beginning. KYS fagot."
I wonder how young this kid is? He probably thinks of "the very beginning" as when the first Halo came out for the Xbox.
THUS IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SINCE THE DAWN OF THE ONLINE GAME - YOU ARE A FAGOT AND A ***** AND I PWN YOU - amen - peppermd, on 11/13/2009, -1/+19Same here. I think it's because it's a new game and everybody is too busy trying to figure it out. Give it a couple weeks. People will return to their dickish manner.

- Madcow17, on 11/13/2009, -0/+13Its depressing. When these little tools grow up and get their gas station jobs, i won't be able to fill my tank without hearing "OMG LOLOLZ U USE REGULAR FUEL!? I USE PREMIUM CUZ IM NOT A NUB! LOL UR A REGUTARD!"
- inactive, on 11/13/2009, -2/+14I can't even understand what half the people are saying online anyway, Xbox mics stink.
- pathouston22, on 11/13/2009, -4/+16Consoles are meant for the mass public, and thats where all the kids are.
Meanwhile on the PC, I play on clan servers that are moderated and are usually all mature and no cheating. In MW1 that is...***** MW2. - CrixMaydine, on 11/13/2009, -0/+12You do realize that Halo 1 isn't Xbox Live enabled?
- Zetal, on 11/13/2009, -0/+12When my roommate was playing it on the 360, we would say, "His name was Robert Paulson," each time he killed someone. It was amazing how many of them never saw Fight Club.
- inactive, on 11/13/2009, -2/+13But what if the server owners are douchebags?
- vodka357, on 11/13/2009, -0/+10I speak French when I play that way my opponents let their guard down
- cbergstrom, on 11/13/2009, -2/+12I've bought 2 games that both came with a 1 month trial to XBL. Halo 1, and Halo 2. Both times, I played on XBL for less than 2 hours before deciding to never log onto XBL again. Man... these people... it's just a game.
- freakydingo, on 11/13/2009, -0/+10Set your voice settings from "Friends Only" to "Everyone"...that can be the only possible explanation of your experience.
- covertbadger, on 11/13/2009, -0/+9You should ask them in what way you resemble a meatball. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain%27s_Faggots The best way of dealing with trolls is to either deliberately misunderstand them, or simply agree with everything they say. Drives them nuts. The rage can get quite hilarious after a bit.
- eouhhohh, on 11/13/2009, -0/+9I was thinking that probably some of the real immature people (with no money) were waiting for it to be a gift from their parrents around the Holidays.
- fxu1989, on 11/13/2009, -1/+10The game is not balanced for not having douches and hacks.
- ParaSwarm, on 11/13/2009, -0/+9Sorry buddy, you must think this is game incorporates multiplayer standards from 10+ years ago. That's your mistake.
- Zoshchenko, on 11/13/2009, -0/+9This is why I turn on the headset and leave it sitting on the floor 10 feet away from me.
- Neutrality, on 11/13/2009, -0/+9True, but it'll always be much worse on the xbox. Try for example playing L4D on Live, then play it on Steam. The difference is night and day. The reason is fairly simple: fewer kids.
- Heiminator, on 11/13/2009, -0/+8thanks bulletbillx,never knew that,+1 for you sir :-)
- TurdFaceManLove, on 11/13/2009, -0/+8I find that if you go into the lobby and say "good game" be it a win or lose, it quells most of the ***** talking. And when I do get the "you suck dicks" comment I usually just agree and claim that I suck multiple dicks at once and would suck the offenders dick if it was near me. Getting angry is what they want, if you agree and self-deprecate they usually become confused and shut up, if not, then mute.
- greevar, on 11/13/2009, -0/+7OW MY BALLS!!!
- tootim, on 11/13/2009, -2/+9The article has potential and it is exposing an important and interesting truth, but it's poorly written.
Not to mention Sessler's Soapbox on the topic pretty much said all that was need to be said. No digg. - PeanutCheeseBar, on 11/13/2009, -0/+7Looking forward to "The Terrible Mr. Grimshaw: Modern Warfare 2 Edition".
- rossifer, on 11/13/2009, -0/+7This article sums up why I gave up playing Halo and COD online. The Left 4 Dead crowd on LIVE is far more adult about proceedings and can accept when they've been thoroughly beaten or show restraint in winning and not sink to verbally abusing the lobby after a game. I guess it's because the game actively encourages teamwork, more so than COD and Halo where a lone wolf (Rambo) attitude is accepted.
Don't get me wrong there are still idiots who rage quit and shout nonsense or sing down the mic but overall the online social experience is far superior with this game. - krets, on 11/13/2009, -0/+7I played about 5 - 10 games last night and didn't run into any of these guys. The only annoying person I ran into was a heavy breather. Turn off your mic Darth Vader!
- Demalaxy, on 11/13/2009, -0/+6I would have added to the Australian one. "So did your politicians actually let you play the real game with all the blood? Or is it that every time you shoot me candy sprays out of my character like a piñata? Just curious."
- ace429k, on 11/15/2009, -0/+6"Good game everyone!"
"Yea ***** YOU *****!"
Thats how it rolls. - Campog, on 11/13/2009, -0/+6I think your sarcasm detector is broken.
- jason4188, on 11/13/2009, -0/+5You do realize you can just mute them and play the game without having to hear them right? I never hear anybody talk *****, because I have them all turned off. I just enjoy the game.
- rushiku, on 11/13/2009, -0/+5This is exactly why I cling to my PC as a gaming platform.
- RC212V, on 11/13/2009, -0/+5I have a much simpler solution, "Mute". Works every time.
- TheMikey, on 11/13/2009, -1/+6Best analogy ever.
- Sabretou, on 11/13/2009, -1/+6The game isn't balanced for "a few keystrokes".
- FyberOptic, on 11/13/2009, -0/+5I turn off voice chat in any game I play over the internet with strangers. The last thing I want to hear is the audio version of 4chan while I'm trying to play a game.
- appleseed1234, on 11/13/2009, -1/+5With any game with that kind of marketing and astroturfing, you'll undoubtedly find plenty of *****.
- bigteebo, on 11/13/2009, -1/+5Then you might be on one of the 4chan servers, where various Internet meme songs are piped through the chat feature(Chocolate Rain, Bananaphone song, etc).
- Demalaxy, on 11/13/2009, -0/+4Maybe the more expensive price tag made it so that most parents got their brats the cheaper system. I mean hell, it shuts them up equally as well I suppose.
- shininia, on 11/13/2009, -1/+5You're*
- Zambimaru, on 11/15/2009, -0/+4This is why I don't wear my headset.
