GRAW morons

[key people]

I am sure that everybody in this forum has either seen, experienced or heard this before - but being new to 360 but a confirmed gamer from the time when Space Invaders were cool - I am starting to get really p***ed with xbox Live games especially when trying to get a ranked game when I am only a level 1 player. :@

Hosts just have an attitude which if you are not level 4 upwards you just get booted form the game repeatedly.

People think their game rank means they are actually an important person or have earned something good so they flaunt it.

I have read on other sites that if you get another gamer and just shoot them in the head repeatedly you get 50 points and increase your level but that sucks - surely this ruins the whole point of points in the first place?

Am I just the only loser who has this aggro or is this point worth discussion?

Cheers :D

everythign you said is true and they need to fix the acheivments one of the guys on my friends list whent on far cry to try a map out by him self and got an achievment because he finished 1st.

Its not limited to just GRAW - there are some complete idiots on COD2 as well. I tried to get a match with a couple of French people. They flat out refused to start the game unless I left. When I refused the host kicked me and they all left me with negative feedback.

Phew!! thanks guys - I thought it was just me!

Burnout is the same. What really bugs me is most of time when the rounds are over you get an error saying it cant connect to the EA servers. WHen this happens you rank gos back to aroun 35000. GRRRRRR

What I've been running into a lot lately are spawn campers/killers. It is not a big deal but it is just to increase their points which is pretty sad

This is what plagues Xbox live. It's not about the achievements (achievements only effect the user), it's the rank/stat boosting, gltiching, spaming, TK'ing, hacks, and all the other stuff that ruins the game for everyone else but the offender. That's the reason I joined a clan like I did that only accepts honorable and mature members. Now my friends list is full, and most always can find big games with cool people. There are lots of groups/clans out there like that, and I'd recommend you looking one up. It's a shame how the idiots can ruin a game so fast. Yuo can also start hitting them up with bad feedback. If the whole "matchmaking" thing works with 360, maybe they will start changing thier ways, or at least be avoided by the other people who want to play fair and honest competition.

Oooh - Spawn killing. I know it is harsh and shouldn't be done - but it's funny as hell. :D

[padds78]

Yep ill admit it ive done some spawn killing before :$ . I get people on NFSMW you beat them fair and square and they quit half way through a race what numpties (N)

All games suffer abusive/stupid players. I was playing Dead or Alive the other day. Nice little group of us. Apart from this german guy. While he was watching us fight, hes going " You little n*ggers....gonna kick your asses. Sh*tty little n*ggers!" Played him in the next fight and got the better of him. "Cheating little n*gger...!" Whats more worrying is that he sounded quite old. At least in his twentys. ----. 8-)

Well i have bina a level 4 on GRAW i let a level 1 in and he was better than so it isnt the rank there care about its probaly they will look crap if they get beat.

[padds78]

I was playing PDZ last night and this tit was singing in japanese down the mic. Its the first time ive had any problems like that. He went straight on my avoid list :)

You'll come across idiots when playing online whatever platform it's on....personally I don't think Live has that many as I've been playing Counter Strike online for the PC for about 5 years or so and that game attracts the biggest --------s on the planet.

What does annoy me though is GRAW when the host sets it up so his team has the advantage of spawn points and can put no spawn protection on...purely so his team can all camp your spawn, oh and games where they stack the teams really badly...I've played like this and came top of the game (side still lost) so I got kicked.

i hear ya Key, trying to get into a match when i was a level 1 was horrible, i was booted from almost every game i played, rarely would i find a good server with someone who would give me a shot, just keep trying man and you'll do it, im a 4 now and i still have problems with people kicking me. imo its because they dont want to risk losing their rank to lower level ones and only want to take on higher ranks equal or greater for the chance at stealing themselves some exp, causing most servers to be run by point wh*res

[Raisedbyflames]

this problem isnt contained to xbox live its everywere you ever heard of a chava.

a culing is in order get somthing to hit them with and we get to cleansing our community.

[BluMind]

pff idiots online..never get rid of em im afraid..i never played xbox live before but will be doing soon, so it looks like i'll be getting kicks before thrills. Don't worry anyway, cuz most of them are computer nerds, who in order to beat is not by the fist, but opening the curtains.

[phatmuther]

if you EVER open my curtains i WILL take you down......
