    We could all file reports on his account. :D

    I get a lot of similar messages and a lot of them relate to potatoes. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,009 ✭✭✭Shammy


    It doesnt bother me , as i do enjoy the verbal arguements on live , but considering no -one had mic's besides me and my 2 mates , i thought it was sad.
    I hate to lose it bugs the shiit out of me when i do, but i think if i had to send abusive messages it would be time to stop playing the game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,041 ✭✭✭pdbhp


    Wow that retard can't even spell.
    I have had a few of those messages not just in MW2 but in Streetfighter aswell I just ignore them cos the people writing those messages are penises of the highest caliber

    HAHA, You get lots of this on the ps3 too, especially if your grouped with a bunch of mates. I love it tho, because they never win and i think its just a reaction to being dominated.

    Those messages tend to stem from bigotted loyalist minded arseholes.

    No time for them at all.

    Yes don't bother giving it a second thought.
    That's what they are hoping you will do.
    Cursing and name calling are easy traits that anyone can do.
    More demanding for these small minded people are having conversations with proper words and sentences.

    I've seen just as many IRA clan tag using knobs slinging abuse at guys for being English as well, dicks are dicks, political motivations nonwithstanding.

    a good 75% of under 16 year olds are pretty annoying.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,009 ✭✭✭Shammy


    The irish pikey ginger thingy me bob doesnt bother me , heard it all before , its "lying on the floor" that gets me , its wasteland , i'm running my overpowered silenced ump and he is sniping or trying to.

    .In saying that , if you left your son or nephew play a few games and they got a message like that .....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,732 ✭✭✭Magill


    well... it is an 18+ rated game :D

    Was playing a few games of SnD tonite, anyway there was a group of English guys on the other team, started whining about our team being full of campers.. we were on the defending team... But yeah, for the next 3 or 4 games they just wouldn't stop whining/bitching/abusing my team. Really anoying.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,055 ✭✭✭Cossax


    Was playing Domination there a while ago and after it I got some muppet messaging me accusing me of being a camper and loser etc. etc., even though when I play Dom I run with Marathon, Lightweight/CBP if air support is up, Sit Rep Pro, a silenced UMP, a smoke grenade and semtex and actually play the objectives. Not exactly Camping 101 (200 miles with Lightweight now, getting there!)
    Seemed a rather sad and random assortment of very childish abuse.

    To be fairly honest with you i've recieved disgusting voice messages about the famine and someone who wished another famine on Ireland and hoped we all died in it.

    The use of IRA in a clan tag in comparison to this sort of abuse is uncomparable. Famine slagging and usage of the tag IRA are not equivalent.

    I've been in some pretty bad lobbies with Irish lads who although throw abuse at the english are provoked with things far worse than what they're giving back.

    This is a touchy subject so in the interest of the forum i'll not get into it.

    If I ever get a message I just reply 'ha'. It usually makes them madder.

    If you send a message to somebody no matter what it says they can file a complaint against you.......go figure

    Sorry if I'm being a retard here, but I heard a guy on youtube who does videos and that's the exact reason he doesn't reply to any. Could they not file a complaint even if you didn't reply? Cause I think I filed a few against boosters.

    They can for another reason if they choose to .

    Boosting isnt a bannable offence though, its "frowned upon" but not something that will get someone booted off live or psn

    Aye true, I still sometimes file the complaint in the hope they might. Afterall only takes 2-3 seconds.

    I was in pre-game lobby there last night. I was talking to my mate in the lobby and 2 blokes starting giving us abuse... a guy from the UK and another from the USA, they weren't friends. Totally unprovoked, lots of anti-irish garbage. I responded and this went on for a couple of games until I muted the two of them.

    If I remember correctly, they had both finished in bottom 2 on the opposing team to us, the match prior to the abuse starting. I enjoy the banter etc, but this was a joke tbh. I can give as good as I get, but I don't go looking for it.

    They were complete TARDS. What kind of a loser goes into games just to give abuse to other lads chatting amongst themselves or whatever ??
    I coudn't let rip coz the missus was there but they were sad bsatards in the extreme. :mad::mad::mad:

    Any chance you can elaborate on what they said?

    Does it matter? Terrorists, Leprechauns and so on. Then lots of other regular garbage, cnuts, homos, c*cksuckers etc. I don't get offended easily, it was just the constant tirade of abuse that is annoying and is very distracting. They were on our team for 2 matches, so it was all the way through the matches.

    I was wondering at the time why you were so 'restrained'!

    I heard someone in the lobby going on a rant using that word repeatedly, so when the game commenced, I reported him and actively encouraged the team to do the same.

    F**king a$$hole..

    If its over something in the game then fair enough but random abuse just when they hear your accent is a bit stupid, funny enough its usually adults who are worse.

    They had been in the lobby for a few games, I killed them a few times but not enough to warrant that crap. I may go back private.

    What are you doing on the 360, on modern warfare no less if you can't handle a bit of abuse from the community with the maturity level of an infant?

    Does that justify it so? I don't care what he or anyone else calls me. It's just extremely annoying when your trying to play the game, especially when they are on the same team.

    Yes, easy solution is the just mute them, which I did in the end. I've changed my voice communications back on friends only now anyway.

    i got a rake of abuse several games in a row a while back when i started using the spas 12 with steady aim . it actually goes much further when you aim from the hip so when i was running around hip firing and blowing people away at a small bit of range i got a lot of abuse about being a modder . i just thought it was silly i mean if i can mod my game so a gun can shoot slightly further why not just mod it so i can take unlimited damage or never run out of ammo . i had my fair share of deaths in the game and it just didnt make sense to me :(

    Righto.. I'll be posting a similar thread in the console section.

    But last night from about 12am if not a little before. One of my accounts, HvG_Ade, suddenly went online when I was playing under my el_NiNo account which is the one a lot of you's from here added.

    Now I was ****ing shocked, scared, angry, basically everything you could imagine. More scared and shocked than angry. This person using my account after a few messages sent back and forth eventually told me that me and my mate/clan member(at the time) were abusive to him apparently over him using noob tube, juggernaut and martyrdom. The thing was....... it was 7/8 months ago on COD4 :confused: He knew my address, my name and changed the password etc. so I couldn't sign in.

    So as I was messaging him and waiting for his replies, I was on my laptop changing every password from Gmail, Yahoo, Paddypower, deleting my inbox(s) and so on. This was arguably the most stressful as I had my laptop and my GF's netbook opened up deleting everything as quickly as I could.

    Somehow I stayed calm in my messages to him, and wasn't abusive. But after about 20 messages or so + an apology from me for whatever I said or did to him back then, he gave me account back with the different password.

    I changed every password on my PSN accounts(3). Some of you's might have noticed I was signing in and out after 12 @ a mental rate and I was online till nearly 5 which I haven't done in ages. Well that was a result of the above.

    Now I'm 99.9% sure I've never gave my details to anyone else.. EVER.
    .
    So to conclude, seriously watch who you **** with lads :o

    Out of interest, what kind of password did you have on your PSN account? Was it easy to crack? How long was it? Password complexity etc?

    It was around a dozen figures, a mix of numerical and letters. Nothing to do with my name or anything personally related. It wasn't easy to crack.. or so I thought.
