The Top 5 Worst Kind of FPS Players

"With Halo: Reach and Call of Duty: Black Ops both dropping on us in the past few months/day, I have spent the majority of my gaming time on the FPS circuit. This post is not comparing the two for the sole reason of not wanting to start the inevitable flame war. This is a commentary on the Top 5 people I just cannot stand playing with/against in the online community. Whether it’d be Xbox Live or the PlayStation Network, they are there and unfortunately not going anywhere."

I'd like to add:

1) The little kid that tries to boss everyone around (edit: which is basically #2 in the article.... whoops lol).
2) The guy who blasts his [heavy] rap/metal music (I have nothing against those music genres, but please, not when I'm trying to focus on the game).

"The guy with the mad fps skillz"

You know the guy that claims to be awesome and bitches about all the noobs on his squad. And then of course when he starts doing bad it's always someone else's fault

[Immortal321]

also I suck at playing killzone2 high, but then again I have my days.

what about the players who are extremely to good.

"The little kid that tries to boss everyone around"

Happens in MAG's dom. The kid OIC wouldnt stop using Company Chat and kept whining about how we were losing. So as one of four the platoon leaders, i told people to kill the OIC. He was screaming "stop shooting me guys!" in a crying voice where 127 other people can hear. One of the funniest moments in MAG then he got kicked by his squad.

i dont knw about u but just give me a sniper and a good hiding place and im good.. they is nothing sweeter that killing some one with one short and the person not wtf just happened or were it came from :D

[cochise313]

god damn camper. i love when i run up on your kind and you get scared and shuffle to pull out your pistol, and you get a whole clip loaded into your ass.

[BLACKBOIJONES]

LOL.....:D

[RedDevils]

Amen. I would roll a grenade up their ass and blow it up lol

[cochise313]

lol don't worry it's nothing personal lol. i just enjoy finding the person who shoots me over and over.

[ThisPlaceSucksBye]

Excellent article.
I hate every single annoying little prick that has been mentioned so far.

[MidnytRain]

I don't know about number 2. *Sometimes* someone giving orders and updating players is just what a team needs if most of your teammates are bad, sloppy, or disorganized.

[avengers1978]

Yes when they know what there talking about, and aren't just a bossy prick.
People that sing or rap into the headset..STFU!
People that whistle
People that bitch every time they get killed.
And finally the guy that is cheating, everyone knows he's cheating, everyone calls him on it, and he acts like it's enhancing the game for everyone.

[smartmart]

That's why I rarely used the mic. My kids/wife/dogs/cats and everything else always comes in (or as background noise) if I am playing not late enough. I just don't want to bother people with what is happening at home. Also there is always 1-3 players making enough sense in their gameplay so I can enjoy and be helpful. Too much people with a mic just ends in an uninteresting chatroom ruining good moments in a match.

[poopface1]

in deathmatch games people seem to be oblivious to the fact the the other teams get points when they kill you.

Most people see the way the game ranks by kills and they and try to get more kills but die just as much in the process.

A guy who goes 10-5 is far more helpful to his team than the guy who goes 15-15.

[Jrome]

actually..if you go 15-15 and your friend goes 10-5

The score is 25-20.

Let's say the winning score is 1000 points. 10 points per kill.

One guy goes 40-40, some guy goes 20-12, 20-20. The other team is going 20-5, 10-5, 17-10. Sure they have 1.1+ kdrs but the other team has more points.

The only time you are really doing nothing for the team..is when you have something like 15-16, or 15-20. As long as you are getting a kill for each time you die you are nullifying the fact that the other team got a kill.

[poopface1]

Ive considered that many times.

you wrote "One guy goes 40-40, some guy goes 20-12, 20-20. The other team is going 20-5, 10-5, 17-10. Sure they have 1.1+ kdrs but the other team has more points"

That makes no sense even if you say there could be others on the team too. how can one team have 80 kills if the other team has only 20 deaths? they cant.

add up the actual scores going by deaths in your example and the score is really 72-20 in favor of the team with the good KDR.

Your incorrect reasoning is an example of what I was talking about. People dont understand taht every point the other team got comes from a death on their team.

It is not possible for one team to have way more kills than the other team has deaths, like in your examples.

if it is 1v1 and I go 15-15, then it is impossible for my friend to go 10-5. I would only have 5 kills if he only had 5 deaths. He would have to have 15 deaths if I had 15 kills. get it.

I have actually thought about your example many times, and the only time it makes sense is when you make up numbers and ignore the fact that every death(excluding TK or suacides) is a kill for the other team.

[Jrome]

As long as you are getting a kill for each time you die you are nullifying the fact that the other team got a kill.

[RedDevils]

and your team is likely to win simple.

[soundslike]

if its team deathmatch who gives a shit. its the casual-est of casual game modes.
If you want people to care about not dying play search and destroy.

[shiner]

Exactly why I only play objective based FPS multiplayer games. Team Deathmatch is for kids.

[kneon]

That's why I'd like there to be some penalty for dieing, if you get 100 point for a kill you should lose at least 50 for dieing. It may deter the idiots who go running wildly guns blazing into a group of enemies hoping to get a kill or two before they get obliterated.

[poopface1]

the penalty for dying is giving the other team a point. thats the problem. people ignore the fact that each time the other team kills them, they get a point.

Like the guy above who made up numbers. Its impossible for my team to have 50 kills when the other team has only been killed 25 times.

If everyone on my team has a positive K/D ratio, or the overall team has a positive K/D ratio, it is impossible for the other team to be winning.

[kneon]

I would agree except that it seems far too many people are too dumb to realize that with every death they are giving away points. Or perhaps they don't care because all they want to do is rank up.

Taking points away from them directly would hopefully reduce such stupid behavior.

[mastiffchild]

Why is TDM "for kids"?? Why ? I like to play TF2 and usually choose more objective and team based game modes when playing other FPS games too but I don't devalue TDM. Just because it's simple doesn't mean it's rubbish or for kids, does it? If my mates aren't playing my best bet for some shooty shooty fun without long demands on my time is DM where even the dimmest knows what they're doing and you can practise all kinds of new stuff, learn maps better etc-no reason to hate on a mode cos a lot of cheap gamers like it.

No need to pick on the TDM or FFA imo.

[AssassinHD]

Don't forget about the guy who throws a tantrum at the end of a match if he is on the losing team. Yes I said tantrum. That is what it is. If you are that guy, just know you sound like my 4 year old.

Edit: It should be noted that unlike the aforementioned sore losers, my 4 year old is making progress.

[user8397144]

No racist 10-12 yrs old kids?

[Shield]

-I cannot stand #2 players, they are by far the worst. Let me play and enjoy my game the way I want to.

-Kids can be annoying with their high pitched squeaky voices, sometimes they are just too damn chatty and won't SHUT UP!

-The guy who sounds like his mic is up his nose or down his throat and won't stop breathing into the mic.

[MidnytRain]

Your first comment kind of depends. I'm not calling you out personally as I don't know you; but you can't blame a guy who's trying to help his team win if they're acting silly or making obvious mistakes that are causing the downfall of the team.

[HellzAssassin]

Hahahaha, I agree with everyone here! I guess it's that difficult to work as a team huh?

[Simco876]

People that take this game too seriously are the people I hate.

Have fun, thats why you spent the $60

[Jrome]

FFFFFUUUUUUUUU!!!

[soundslike]

just to go:
"omg SERIOUSLY?! WTF LAG. HOW THE FUCK. FUCKING CAMPER. FUCKING SNIPER. FUCKING MP5. FUCKING AIMBOT. FUCKING GRENADE. LAGSWITCHER!!!"

umm maybe you just suck at the game bro. unless its a wireless host from brazil...in which case still shut the fuck up.

[kasasensei]

Good article, so true!!!! :D

[skip2mylou]

red necks who say nigger, dont make me pump a shotgun up your ass, little pricks who say what a fag when they get killed by a shotgun to the head when they are camping

[cochise313]

i hate those racist fucks. but sometimes you really run into a cool groups of people. i like those matches.

[Urmomlol]

This article would be so much better if this wasn't the hundredth of its kind.

[danielle007]

the gamers who become enamored with a girl being in the lobby.

DANIELLE. DANIELLE. HEY. HEY. DANIELLE HEY. HEY DANIELLE IS YOUR MIC ON. DANIELLE ARE YOU A GIRL. HEY. HEY. HEY. HEY. DANIELLE. DANIELLE. DANIELLE. DANIELLE. CAN YOU HEAR ME. ARE YOU THERE. DANIELLE. DANIELLE.

...DANIELLE.

[harv052]

HAHAHA...I've heard that many times before!!!!!

[TANUKI]

Haha, you would not believe how often things get awkward/weird/desperate, when a female gamer joins a left 4 dead game.

Seriously, the things some dudes say to impress her, makes me facepalm.
