^ I think this is where Bungie does a good job with Halo and keeping you grouped with "like" skill level players. Even if you completely suck at MW2 over time you will reach level 70 but in Halo with Bunge's scoring system only the best reach the highest level, which is normally that annoying 15 year old so I never have to play him.

See, Battlefield Heroes does the same thing, but I end up getting put there with the same douchebags.

When I criticize them for saying the word "noob" (I'm sorry, but that word is my least favorite word in the English language) they are like, "How old are YOU then?"

When I explain I'm 28, they act like I should be sitting around in my top hat drinking brandy. I'll never stop playing video games. I enjoy them and they're like any other hobby that's considered "adult". My problem with the word noob is that it's SO meaningless. They use it as nouns, verbs, adjectives and it's just so stupid. Like people get bent out of shape when they get called it on a game and I'm just like . It's a game. I know I'm totally wrong in even attempting this, but sometimes if I can stop ONE person from ever saying noob again I feel like I've accomplished something.

I can't even play MW2 because of the little idiots I hear on their headsets thinking they're comedians. Battlefield Heroes has people who say "last kill" or post their stats at the end of the game. Like anyone gives a shit. Grrr.

If I'm playing alone I don't use my headset. I keep it plugged in so I don't have to hear the morons over my TV, but I don't keep the headset on.

When I'm playing with a friend we'll just have a private chat going on.

Agreed I don't even have a head phone anymore. Anyone talks in the lobby automatic mute from me. I have never heard one intelligent thing over the "air". One time on team death match I kept this guy off mute he sound older like in his twenties. He was yelling and caring on like he was a drill Sergent or something.

Example:

"Come on boys lets light em up, keep those guns hot." "Flank left flank right!"

Stuff like that and he was dead serious. Totally douche, I wish I could remember his screen name he probably does it forever game.

If I could disable chat in the games I play, I would. NOTHING constructive is ever said.

re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)

they should just allow you to use private chat in game. That way you can lock it down to the 2 or 3 people you know that you're playing with and not annoy anyone else with your conversation, or be annoyed by the attention starved prepubescent with turret's syndrome.

Gave up on Batman, solid game just not my cup of tea.

I liked AC1 but it got really repetitive quick, I've head the 2nd one avoids that so we'll see.

I liked AC2 a lot. And the two new add-ons are available as well.

The expansion pack for Dragon Age drops this week, it's out now. I'll definitely download that. I'm a sucker for RPGs.

re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has sucked out loud. Horrible game. I usually don't regret purchases, but man, for the multiplayer this is horrible. It's 100% run n' gun.

Picking up God of War III tonight, hopefully have better luck with that one.
