Multiplayer games are a pain in the butt for multiple reasons.
first of all, and this rings true especially in most FPS's, I can't stand having my headphones on and hearing squeaky prepubescent voices screaming about a player whose worked their way up in the game's ranking system legitimately, and calling them a hacker for reasons that are ridiculous. As a prime example, back when I used to play Modern Warfare 3 in multiplayer matches, it wouldn't take long before a child presumably between the ages of 6 and 11 plugged in their microphones and started screaming curse words at anyone who landed a kill on their character, accusing them of being a hacker simply for their legitimately earned rank and skill in that game. It's one of my many pet peeves about online multiplayer gaming that sadly really turns me away from playing online with others.
Another pet peeve is when the older, higher ranking players, start spewing nonsense over the microphone bragging about their rank. Hey genius, that's what the rank is for! it shows me how good you are!
When you encounter a situation of trolling, usually involving a younger kid and an older player, the older player often teasing or annoying the younger one. sure, it is HILARIOUS, but I'd like to keep all of the hearing in both ears and not loose it to the shrill screech of an 8-year-old.
The players who ACTUALLY ARE cheating. I've always looked at this the same way I looked at disruptive kids in schools. Cheaters in multiplayer games should be kicked into a server all together, so its literally a server full of cheating players, and they can't kill each other or be killed because they are all cheating. so much for your fun, huh? And to pour salt in the wound, perhaps for the next week every time they try to enter a server they get kicked right into the cheater's server, just so they learn their lesson. If you wanna be a little cheat, go play with all the other little cheats. Leave the good honest game play for the good honest players.
coming away from the FPS subject now and into more general online multiplayer co-op. I find that co-op multiplayer games are really only fun if you're playing with a group of your friends with voice chat. Sadly for me, none of my friends are gamers at all, and the ones that are only play in single player games. I can't tell you how many times I've been playing Prop Hunt and gotten bored because of the lack of fun, hilarious commentary by friends. Games like that are just simply more enjoyable and fun if you can play them with friends.
Foreign servers. WHY are you advertising a GERMAN server to me when I am in ENGLAND. give me ENGLISH SERVERS, game!
The awkwardness of hearing someone argue with a loved one over the microphones. countless arguments between boyfriends and girlfriends have been witnessed, and it's like watching a dog walk on its hind legs. sort of the same awkward when you're at a friends house and they start arguing with their parents. Magical, yet awkward.
So what are your pet peeves when it comes to online multiplayer games? Have a rant. it's good for you.
