Most of the time I play CTF with some good team members and we work together to beat the other team in good fun. Once in a while (more than I like), you get some immature jerk on your team that thinks it's fun to kill his own team members. If your one of those, why do you get off ruioning the fun for everyone else? Were you or are you still an attention deprived child?
If there was any feature that I wish Halo would provide would be a automatic removal and shut down of the program for a certain # of betrayals. Until then, we'll all just have to immediately leave the game when it starts and leave the idiot to play with himself! /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

I don't think you'll find any of these multiplayer jerks on a Mac forums site. Why don't you go post on a Peecee forums site?

Hi
I know what you mean. Where they just seem to get bored and so they start acting childish. Some people's kids I tells ya'. I just tried Halo over the Net the other day and found a few good games and a few bad ones.

I think finding immature players in on-line multiplayer settings is pretty much a given. There's almost no way around it, though with some games, players are matched by skill-level, so once you've risen above a certain point in the rankings, it's just too much work for these annoyances to get a good enough profile that they can screw up people at that high a level/rank. They have to be one and a third times as good as the people they want to screw up if they want to annoy people a quarter of the time, because they're obviously going to lose some games or whatever just naturally. Basically, they're an unfortunate part of the game that I'm sure would be programmed out, if the programmers could just find a way to do so.

First of all, chill out.
Second, if the server you are on is halfway decent, it will auto-ban them after 3 tk's.
Third, we need to have a game. My buddy and I are pretty darn good at halo, I would very much like it if we could organize a server. I tried this once with ut2k3 but it didn't work out.

The tker's that really annoy me are the smart ones. It is extremely easy to kill teammates without getting banned. Just drive a warthog or similar vehicle towards someone and jump out at the last second, so the computer posts he was only killed by a vehicle.
Whenever i find someone doing that i kill them, i don't use their strategy either, i kill 'em with a shotgun to the head cause they deserve it, i want to see their blood spewed across the ground. But of course i eventually get banned for killing them a couple times.
Wow aren't computer games fun!

This must only work on some servers. I've been on games where some idiot does it over and over and never get's banded.

This has been a problem for years and will be a problem for years to come. I was a beta tester and charter subscriber to Ultima Online. After over a year of playing I just had to give it up because the immature brats that could afford to play 12 hours a day spoiled it for the casual player.
Face it...it's a fact of life (or death, as it were)

I hate to say it, but this is the main reason I do very little online gaming at all. I test the games I play for online compatibility, but I find the actual experience of dealing with many online gamers to be the equivalent of taking a sip of water from a firehose attached to the fire hydrant of endless stupidity.

I guess we're "stuck" with getting together known groups and playing in private games. That's all well and good for the shmups, but the MMORPGs are a completely different story. Perhaps private Everquest servers are on the horizon?

TK'ers will always be a factor on pub servers. You just need to roll with it and remember that it is just a game. Playing on well admin'd servers helps too.

I hosted my first game on the dual processor G4. I had 8 players on there (no idiots) and we had a lot of fun. They said the lag was good. I always name it DP G4 - so come play!!!

[FallenApple]

Lag is never good. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I have Halo. I bought it, though, for its single-player rating. I always buy and play based on SP and the game's AI as my opponent.
I haven't gotten good enough to branch out into network play. Just beating Halo one-on-one is enough for now. But I guess I am missing something.
