I've really had minimal problem with idorts in l4d. most just don't like to work as a tean, that's the only problem I've noticed.

Isn't working as a team... um... the whole point of the game?

It is, but some people seem to think that they can take on a Hunter, Boomer, and a Horde by themselves and Run ahead of the group (True Story, happened last night, we debated whether or not to revive him)

Don't. He's the kind of asshole that ruins the game for everyone else.

Hmm, well, it seems the XBox Live Halo and PC Counter-strike chimps are trying Left 4 Dead.

Fortunately, they'll soon bore of it and wonder off to look at something shiny ;)

(note: I'm not calling players of either of those games chimps, but if you play either of them, you'll know the guys I'm talking about ;))

Because if it is, this thread is living evidence that Xbox Live is full of annoying people.

Explain how that makes any sense...

So 2 people now make up the majority of live - your going to find idiots on all systems.

Yup, got my first taste of ass on Left 4 Dead today.

I don't think that means what you think it means :P

Exactly what I thought. Perhaps it is immature of me, but I really do think that it's funny.

I started posting at this site because there are fewer than the usual amount of defensive 'console-of-choice' fanboys here.

I've stopped posting as much because it turns out their place has been taken by a much higher than usual 'PC-owner-with-a-superiority-complex' quotient.

Sad.

Also I noticed that some people tend to friendly fire too much, but usually those people are using shotguns and well lets just say that trying to help your friend get that hunter out of him with a wide spread shotgun shot might not only hurt the hunter but the prey as well. Obviously you need to take that into consideration but remember children if you see someone friendly firing too much and they're using a shotgun well, give them a break and tell him/her what you think in a polite way.

True that.

I think i only just realised how much i friendly fire. I don't mean to do it, but sometimes your buddies will decide to park their asses in front of you while your popping a few zombie heads with your shotgun, or i just have bad aim, twitch, and shoot them accidently. This has become extremely apparent in advanced/expert difficulties where i'm the only one with green health and everyone else has fallen down at least once. I don't think i did that much damage, but certainly some of it. I think i'll stick to the hunting rifle or assault rifle until i work on my friendly fire.

Ever heard of research groups? That's how marketing companies test their products, that's how directors test their pilot of a upcoming series.

In this case my research group consists of two people, the conclusions that I'll find won't be very strong but it doesn't take any liability of the method I'm using. Now if I was going to oh lets say youtube and use all the fucking videos people tape complaining about xbox live and the racist kiddos to my personal research group I would have stronger evidence to back my claim. There's a reason why people don't make videos complaining about the PSN you know. Xbox live has too many idiots in it. That doesn't necessarily make ALL of the live users morons though.

Alright, just recently I've played with our beloved M.D. - I was lagging, and my mouse was suffering because of it. Blood Harvest. Expert. Chapter 4.

We almost make it into the safe room and I friendly fired my team. I kept doing so due to the technical difficulties. Unintentional assholery is worse than actual assholery, because you feel guilt.

So two random people are being idiots, and you are quick to say they're on the Xbox and that XBL is full of "annoying, racist kids".

First off, OP never said their age. They could have been teenagers or adults.

Yes, XBL is full of annoying, racist kids. Yes, they could have been teenagers or adults so let me rephrase: XBL is full of annoying, racist people. Annoying, racist people suck. Therefore, by the transitive property, XBL sucks.

OK Generlizations are bad and all, but is there someone who is actually defending the XBL community?

You should be thankful you have to pay for it, imagine what kind of people would get on if it was free!

Oh alright thanks.

And I love it when people turn to grammar and criticize it instead of addressing the points.
Shows a lot about you. Not everyone's from a English speaking country, some mistakes are bound to happen.

Well, if they're the idiots, why are you so sensitive to it? You always seem to have a snappy response to even the most sadly retarded dullard, instead of leaving them to their idiocy.

I think there are a lot of idiots on every system including the PC for instance last night my friends had buggered off for sleep and so I joined a game with a bunch of strangers, things were going alright at first but then one of the team ran on ahead and got mauled by a hunter. So I healed him with my medkit.

Needless to say he did not return the favour as later on when the rest of the team was near death and were struggling along he decides to heal himself with his medkit despite the fact he was only in yellow health where the rest of us were in the red in regards to health. Finely near the end of the game we get attacked by a tank and mauled badly, I had found another medkit by this point, and so used in on myself during the tank account, that guy then dies calls me a noob and votekicks me. Needless to say I just decided to leave anyway so there's assholes everywhere

I'm not criticising your points, in fact I quite agree that you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and racist twats than Xbox LIVE. I just found it amusing you referred to idiots in that sentence and made a grammar mistake.

Need to calm down man, you know I'm not hatin' on you.

I think kids on XBL thing they are awesome is because of the games they play...Most games on 360 show you as a superman who kicks arse everywhere...that alters their tiny brains into mush while shoving the idea they are just as awesome online...so when they lose they believe people are cheating and are normally total a-holes.

My XBL account ran out in september, i have no intention of renewing it.

Speaking of ass, got a nice view of Zoey's ass following behind her up a ladder. Nice!

I've been playing Left 4 Dead on the PC and I haven't found any idiots yet.
Most of the teams I've been with were great and used the voice chat, the ones that were sucky on FPS's (you know that guy who does too much friendly fire) are always the more helpful ones.

Oh and I useually always play on Expert and people tend not to screw up there.

Firstly, whether it's a PC or a console version of a game, you are going to find arrogant and immature assholes in online games. You may not have found any yet, you may not find any today, you may not find any in the immediate future but you will some day, I guarentee you.

Secondly, If I remember correctly I believe I stated on a different thread previously that I predicted that this game would have an issue with co-operation between players. I would now like to take the time to say 'I fucking called it'.

(here's the link: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.70444#729379)

Finally, I also had problems with other players (this was in the demo), one person on my team randomly turned his mic off and started hurling molotovs at us, fireing his shotty at us and making sure we had no medical kits left by using them all on himself along with any pills in the level (this was on advanced difficulty if anyone is curious).

You do know the reason there are not many videos insulting PSN users - because not many PSN users have microphones, whilst almost everyone on Live does.

You cannot have a scientific experiment based on 2 people. There are over a million Live accounts; and you are comparing youtube videos (so about a few hundred idiots on videos) against millions of people...

That's just the thing. YOU CAN.
Do you think that scientif teories are tested in all the animals/human/anomalies/things they're applied at? No they aren't.
How scientific theories are born:

Gather and study 10 elephants.
Note that all of those elephants have a trunk.
From this we can conclude that the next 10 elephants I see will have trunks.

Now, there might be an elephant out there without a trunk but given the conclusion we take from the research group it is highly unlikely to happen. Apply that logic to xbox live.

Well, medical research involves a large group of very (medically, different blood types/conditions, etc.) different people, but racism starts when a black man steals your car and you start thinking all black people would do such a thing. I was making a point about Richard accusing all of the XBL community of being idiots because of two people that were being idiots (they weren't even playing on they Xbox to begin with).
