Isn't COD4 a 16+ game? I'm not saying that people can be abusive towards others but surely u gotta let some language slide.
It wasn't so much the language more the fact that he and members of his family were constantly insulted

I swear all the time on the game (though trying to cut back). I can however restrain myself from directing it at others. That's where the issues are.

But I know what you're saying.

They're just little gobshites making the most of their security behind a mic over the net, in real life they wouldn't dare of it or they know they'd have several smacks in the mouth coming. All you can do really is mute and report them. These types of idiots are expected on a (relatively) violent game, predominantly played by a mixed bag of Xenophobes and pre-pubescent kids.

Ive never used the feedback button so much than what i have done in the last month. Even though it doesnt do bugger all, and i dont think theres a way of checking how much rep someone has - except for the stars.. but it makes me feel better after having to deal with a complete moron on there.
I do wish you had an option to mute or ignore just whoever you wanted to rather than having to turn the sound down and miss everything said.

You do??

Whenever there are a few of us on, I usually don't wanna hear the other team. So I mute them. It's a pity you can't block mute. But it's definitely worth doing.

Hit your back button>Select who you wish to mute>Y Key and Select Mute. Quicker than it sounds. And something to do whenever you're killed in S&D.

Yup, there needs to be a quick mute button in COD4 though, like in Halo 3; You just bring up the leaderboard and press X on that person, and hey presto, they've miraculously shut up!

Ironically when I played Halo 3 there wasn't anyone for me to use the quick mute function on, everyone I got teamed up with was alright, but on COD4, it's jam packed with idiots I wish I could mute as quickly as in Halo 3.

My H admins a server for COD4 and I know he gets annoyed when people swear for no good reason - we all swear but sometimes you do get people whom seem to do it non stop.

I only swear when playing COD$ when something annoys me, and not really ever when the other team kill me, it's the little thing's about the game that set me off but I've learn to just live with it, well that and scream " What is that all about !!!! " whilst pointing at the tv :P

I've found since getting the game ages ago that the chances of being thrown straight into a game already being played has become higher and higher. I have noticed aswell that the amount of times you'd sit in a lobby and the timer would count down only to restart rarely seems to happen anymore.

In my personal experience it is mostly American folk who shout and scream abuse but equally I have heard many Americans tell their fellow countrymen to " STFU ". Brits can be just as bad but I've rarely come across this in most games I've played online.

Who knows what the Germans, Italians and French folk are saying, I can't understand them :P

These days I NEVER use my headset, although I occasionally feel inclined to plug it in and scream holy murder at my team mate when he runs past me as I'm throwing a grenade which comes right back at me, that happens more often that you'd think, or like !

It's not even just grenades though mind you, the amount of times a team mate gets in your way and you get killed because of it is just stupid.

What I love the most is that I've got a wee bit of bad rep for trash talking when I don't even use the bloody head set, that's why I wish MS would just dispense with that whole cr@p even if it is essentially meaningless. For all the bad feedback I've had which I have to say is unwarranted as I am a very friendly & good gamer, I have had 5 stars for as long as I can remember.

That sounds really cool, though I am not prepared to pay for the pc that can handle it, just plug and play on the 360 for me, how come the 360 can handle 18 on team matches but only 8 on free for all ?

An 18 player free for all would be madness! It's bad enough with 8.
Most of the maps are too small for 9v9, never mind 16v16.

It's a shame they left out all the larger levels in the game like the siege on the town near the start or the level where you can radio in for air support.

Trying to take over a village while the other team defends it would have been a lot more fun than capturing 3 random flags (Domination), or blow up the enemy's bin (Search & Destroy, Sabotage).

I love the gameplay but the developers were quite lazy when thinking up the match formats. There's nothing we haven't seen before.

The problem is that retarded server admins leave the smaller maps in the default rotation despite their servers being configured for a maximum of 24 or 32 players or whatever.

I've only just hooked my PS3 on t'internet (a combination of me being a lame-arse, BT being obstreporous, and my missus wanting to remian in some sort of relationship with me ;0))

BUT OMG! COD4 is the best online game ever..! I realise i'm months behind everyone else's discovery (lol) but surely you remember that feeling too!

If you're not a d**k, add me! : Funkiiee
