I've lost alot of friends because of this.

REALLY?

Some fighting games, like the Street Fighter and Capcom series games in general, depend on this for intermediate level play. Keeping the pressure on is a perfectly legitimate tactic. In other fighting titles, it's usually easy to counter spammers. I have to admit it's kind of funny if you've actually lost friends because you're either bad at the game or can't tolerate the way it works.

Keeping pressure on is fine and perfectly acceptable. But when it's the same freakin attack, for the entire match, it gets pretty freaking annoying.

Besides, if they duck behind the couch like I told them, they would have to worry about me chucking the controller at them.

Congratulations Red, you broke Dakka. Satisfied?

I thought it was spelt "hadoken" or "hadouken", not haduken.

I can out-Sniper Snipers with that thing.

I love that revolver.

I think because the TF2 community (at least on the servers I tend to play) is generally better mannered than I'm used to (playing halo), it is more annoying when someone decides to mouth off.

On a related note- I can't believe how much better this game is on PC than on xbox. At the moment I am playing M:TW2, TF2 and CoP while my xbox gathers dust (until I buy AssCreed2).

Everything is better on PC. Join the club.
The TF2 community is lightyears better than the Halo community considering 90% of TF2 players have fun and feth around and generally play casually where 90% of Halo players are either little kids or k/d freaks. Just from my experience, at least.
@Locclo: EVERYTHING that you mentioned I experienced within approximately 2 hours of dungeoning with my Frost Death Knight.

QFT, TF2 on the PC is amazing (mind you I haven't been playing it recently ).

TF2 on 360 is not bad - just like the PC it has a much more chilled out fanbase, though it can sometimes be hard to get matches with more than a handful of people, and the lag is sometimes really bad.

Plus there are only a handful of maps :(

How many times does one need to shout "GET TO DA CHOPPA!" when playing AVP?

You can play AvP online? I tried so hard on my ps3, and nothing ever pops up in terms of a game.

the ones I hate is (In halo it happend the most) is the young child the the high-pitched vioce team-killing me because "I'm really good with that weapon/vehicle/turret."
No your not. Thats not the way to use it.

Or the same kid who "has a really really good plan!!!!!!" No it wasn't.

Here's one that happened to me in a practice game on StarCraft II.

The Noobish Critic

Shows up everywhere. Every multiplayer game has it. It's the guy who complains about your playstyle because it's not the one he saw on a battle report - and then gets all pissy when you beat the crap out of him with it.

Case in point: was playing a practice game on SC2. I, like some other players, prefer to turtle my way to victory, partly because I have a complete and total lack of micromanagement skills. Far less important if you only need to deal with one base, but anyways. My opponent decides to rush out a battlecruiser and attacks my base with it. Well, since he only attacked with one battlecruiser, I quickly dealt with it using a couple of missile turrets. Now that he's seen my strategy, he calls me out on it, saying that I'll never have enough resources to beat him, I'll never get out enough units to face his supposedly massive army, and I'll never win a game until I learn the game.

Less than five minutes later, I wiped out his base and his army without losing a thing. His 'massive' army consisted of a handful of battlecruisers and a few banshees (which, when I have a dozen Vikings ready to defend the skies, are hardly a threat). Sure, it took me another few minutes to take out all of his expansions, but he never managed to muster a force to beat my kill team.

Just a word of advice to you folks out there...don't criticize others' methods of playing until you know they aren't working, or if you know they're new to the game. Even supposedly poor strategies can be fantastic in the right hands.

Yes, these people annoy me greatly. Though on many games I don't get to hear them squeek for long afterwards since I vote to boot them. Then I go and negatively rate them - something I have been doing more and more recently.

Even worse is if you let them just have the weapon/turret/vehicle (I am pretty easy going and if you want it that badly...) and then they use it in the most stupid way possible, ignoring threats that are quite large (like someone standing right next to you shooting at you) and instead try to write their name in bullet holes in the wall and/or shoot your own team and/or get you and everyone else killed.

Not to do with other people but I hate the glitches on Bad Company 2's Onslaught mode. The one that really irks me is when the NPC's become invincible, the second is where my C4 just ceases to exist.

Apart from this, I've had pretty good expieriences on multi-player games. The worst thing I've come across is 'I can drive a helicopter, everybody get in' 5 - 10 seconds later, teams lost 5 guys.

Thats what I do, just let them have it and watch them die. And then mute them. Although there was one one kid who really did have a plan.....

Lets see... TF2

Sniper Wars i guess? The enemy Sniper complaining i killed via body shot.

What they fail to realize is...
1) Their elbow actually come out first before their head , if they want to hide behind wall all day , dont expose their elbows.

2) Atleast i hit something when they miss every shot hence they died first.

Or in games where 1 vs 1 duels... when they lose they always give the same excuse...

1) "I lagged." ( well they dont ever consider their opponents lag as well? geez... )

2) "I thought i was going win easily so i went easy" ( reduel and they still lose. Oops guess they werent the only one going easy -_- the saddest part is they dont even realize it )

Silly sniper. "HaHaaaaa you nub! You've killed me 5 times in a row and not one headshot!!"

I'm tempted to use my first ever 'facepalm' orkicon. Not tempted enough though.

Snipers on Twofort tend to annoy me in general. Even as a heavy. I'll rarely get taken out by a sniper, especially when expecting to be shot at. If they have turtling engies, camping demomen or good snipers then snipers are invaluable. If they don't, they 5 attacking snipers on dustbowl aren't going to helping the team much.

I love sniping! In CoD I have it set up so that as long as I don't shoot them in the foot its fatal(even in non-hardcore).

I get headshots when the head is the only thing visible otherwise I aim for the bigger target, the body.

I get annoyed at people who laugh at a poor K/D ratio during a match of headquarters.

Sure, I died 15 times and killed 4 people, but I captured the HQ over 10 times and helped our team win.

I love sniping as well. I will be intervention quickscoping all day monday.

Idk why anyone complains about bodyshots. It's when you get the lucky headshot on the midair scout that people should complain

I get annoyed at people who laugh at a poor K/D ratio during a match of headquarters.

I never understood that either. Same with domination. I get the highest score of the match and I have 18-18, and some 10th prestige noobtubing spanker yells at me for not having a good k/d.

The guys on my server love to poke fun at people who get body shots (All in good fun though, because the couple of snipers who frequent the server can be absolutely scary in game).

I wouldn't say that snipers annoy me really, not unless half the bloody team goes to that class. I don't care if you want to get kills, we have no engineers and enemy scouts are just walking away with our intel...
