My favorite teams
Dual Guns- Dual guns are usually really annoying when abused. Some guys shoot fast enough already, when you double them, it’s a recipe for disaster. Show me a real soldier who can shoot at least half of these dual weapons at the same time, and I’ll be surprised. Dual 1887 Akimbos are the real culprit here.
Campers- Campers are something that we run into in all shooters, especially online. It may be hard to fathom but some online players may sit in the same exact spot for 5 minutes just waiting for somebody to come by so they can get an easy kill. Playing in big maps, campers are more predominant. Instead of venturing out and seeking the opposition, they hide in a corner and just…well…wait.
Noob Tubers- Takes little to no skill to use the “Noob Tube”. Noobs generally have no skill at the game already, so the only remedy for this is to use the Noob Tube. This is a grenade launcher attachment that when abused becomes known as the noob tube. Used in small maps, this can really get on one’s nerves. Coupling the noob tube with camping, can serve to irritate.
Matchmaking (Peer-to-Peer)- The most popular online game shouldn’t use peer-to-peer matchmaking. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 needs to be hosted on dedicated servers. It sucks when you have a full room and the game starts up only for everybody to be booted because they decide to use the guy using Wal-Mart’s online connection to host the entire match. MW2 needs to be on dedicated servers please and thank you.
Teammates without a mic – Usually it’s fun to play with people who have mics. Whenever you have 5 guys on your team, all of whom are familiar with each other, and that one guy who doesn’t have a mic, it sucks. Being able to alert your teammate of that guy around the corner that just killed you is a good option to have or to receive that alert. You almost have to yell “DON’T GO IN THERE DUDE”. So they can hear you from their TV speakers. Once they go around the corner and get knifed I want to drop my knees and yell “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”.
Teammates who don’t know what they’re doing- This is one of the more prevalent issues in online gaming. Having teammates who have no idea what they are doing. When you’re in a close match against the other team, you have done everything you can to help your team win. 20 kills and 3 deaths, and then you have that one player on your team who goes 0-15 who causes your team to lose. That guy….is the guy who pisses everybody off. It always sucks to have this happen. This is why it’s a good idea to play with people you know….who don’t go 0-15.
Dying before a killstreak- As a below-average/mediocre player this is the one that aggravates me the most. My best killstreak is 13 I think, so I haven’t been able to experience the finer joys of frequent killstreaks. Anywho, regardless of how good or bad you are, you will HATE dying right before you get a killstreak. I hate dying right before a harrier, I couldn’t imagine how somebody feels when they die 1 kill away from getting the nuke.
Trash Talkers in the lobby- Another aspect of online gaming is trash talking, some is friendly or funny, and some is downright annoying. Being called every name in the book by the 12 year old kid in the lobby is far from entertaining. It’s funny the first couple of times to encounter idiocy in it’s truest form, but the 40th time, it’s annoying. More then often the person talking trash is the worst person on the other team.
Dying as you spawn- Online shooters encounter this problem a lot especially in MW2. Many people hate as soon as they spawn, they are instantly killed. I can’t tell you how many times this has happened to me. I have been killed before I’ve taken 3 steps from where I have spawned. Spawning in a firefight, or where a chopper gunner is unloading on your team, usually tends to piss me off.
Nuke Boosters- Getting the nuke has to be a great feeling. To have the many kills without dying. Some people won’t ever know how it feels so they must glitch to get it. They have a friend be on the other team and let them kill them 25 times so they can do the nuke to get a “nuke emblem”. This is pretty sad that somebody will go through all of that trouble to get an online gaming “emblem”. Oh well. A great “joy” in this is seeing the guy get 23 kills off his friend and then you killing him just short of his glitching goa
I wrote this around the time the first game came out on another site. Thoughts? What do you hate the most?
