My fears about Gears

[Uday23]

^^^lol that is sometimes true, but what really bothers me is the high pitched voices, it hurts my ears!

Kids shouldn't be allowed to play online games via xbox live. I think Nintendo's wifi system is brilliant because it allows you to play online and not have to deal with the crap that comes with immature people. It's not just kids there are some immature adults too. Sure the password system is tedious but if you really want to play with your friends it's not that big of a hassle.

I was playing halo 2 and there was this little kid who was just talking trash to the team we were playing against and I asked him to stop and he got mad and started using words that I had to google just to find out what they meant.

After the game I just thought about where he would have learned those words, and I'm sure his parents didn't say "Hey, eat your food you little ****"(Insert any four letter word you want there) So I came to the conclusion it must have been the people he usually plays with on xbox live. For every person you have fun playing with on xbl it seems there are at least 5 who are just complete assholes who shouldn't even be allowed to breed, and most of them probably have, several times, all illegitimate.

What's my point? I don't know, I forgot, but it has something to do with the fact that xbox needs to screen it's users, and not just keep kids from playing. Those who can't form coherent sentences without the use of naughty 4 letter words can't play.

It is true, there is a large number of people on Xbox Live who scream and shout. But on the 360 there doesn't appear to be that many(guessing there parents have learned a lesson about buying crazy children expensive gifts.)
I have had it since launch and only come across about 5 people who are screaming. And generally they are just screaming because they have lost, there appears to be less trash talk.
And if you want to avoid the screaming kids, switch your GamerZone to Recreation, and you should be ok.

id just like to say, you will never stop little kids from playing this game if its what its made out to be.

and also that these "imature kids" are usually the ones who win.

Let em play, if you cant handle afew little kids trash talking, then theres no point playing.

No one cares about trash talking, its the high pitched screaming that everyone hates

[Britainz-Finest]

If you can't handle it mute them, and if you cant do that dont play. All im saying is that most people hate these little kids not jst because there annoying, bt becuase there extremely good at the games they play.

[Flaming Hornets]

I have never met or played with anyone who hates people if they are good. If they are good, so be it, but most of them aren't and quit if they start to loose.

[Britainz-Finest]

Yea i see what you mean, but in the end i jst want a game where youll have no trouble finding a game, with people who know how to play.
And whats the fun without a little trash talk from the other team when they lose, people cant help it and besides its f***ing hillarious. And its not just little kids i get it from men and women also. but mainliy little americans

[Flaming Hornets]

WOMEN? you have been trash talked by a woman? AHAHAHAA
With the fan base that Gears of War is getting it won't look like you will have any problem finding a game with good people.

[Britainz-Finest]

Trash talked when theyve lost. If your not english then you wouldnt believe some of the women over here lol

I hope lag will not be an issue either

[Flaming Hornets]

i am English, and i have never really played against a woman over XBL.
It doesn't matter really who plays as long as its a good game. and as long as they aren't the people who assume that because i am British i am a "***"

[Britainz-Finest]

You get me, some of these Americans who come on and try to do there english voices but if u ask me sound more like Indians i could jst kill.

[Mel]

You should do a Christopher Walken accent, that will throw them off.

[Flaming Hornets]

His accent is so hard to pull off, if i try it just sounds like Billy Connolly

[Mel]

Use the exaggerated Monty Python accents, I think that's what most Americans think British people sound like anyways.

[Flaming Hornets]

Nah most of the people who insult do an accent just like Mary Poppins.
"Blimey" and "Governor" and "Crumpets"

Lol true, and don't forget the mention about 'tea' and the typical 'ra-ra' speech!

[Flaming Hornets]

"ra-ra" i have never heard that before? is it somekind of cheerleader thing?

[Mel]

I'm just going to start doing my passable british accent (It's passable to an american, I've never actually used it with someone across the pond.)

I think the Ra Ra thing is right right. Right?

[1stPerson=MotionSickness]

I really dont have any fears Microsoft and Epic has so much riding on this game that it will get 3 scores of 10 from Electronic gaming monthly.It will be the new HALO these 2 companies have bet there souls on it and Epic has put everything they got into it.

Wrong. 'Ra-ra' is the term used for the posh people of England.....they talk in tht real funny accent that every american thinks we talk in! I live up north in Yorkshire, and because my accent is different most Americans think i'm from Australia ? Lol.

thats true

After the game I just thought about where he would have learned those words, and I'm sure his parents didn't say "Hey, eat your food you little ****"(Insert any four letter word you want there)

that did make me laugh really hard

Kids shouldn't be allowed to play online games via xbox live.

thats just plain selfish as long as they dont act annoying as hell who cares

As long as kids are mature and not annoying why the hell not?

[Uday23]

^^^evil hat is right, its just those few freaks that ruin it for the rest of them, but what really sucks is that u can't just turn of the mic b/c this game is about teamwork and communication, but im sure it will all work out great and GoW will be great **grabs another shringe of morphin(the GoW version)" lol

[Mel]

It's not because of the immature kids, it's because of the immature adults who don't know how to act around children. Xbox needs to fix that before they start allowing kids to play.

Well if someone is just going "OMG I'M PINOCHIO! I'M A REAL BOY NOT A FAKE ONE!!! LOOK AT ME!!" over and over it's okay to mute them because they're only going to hinder the whole communication process.

lol, true, but im saying that muteing them in GoW will kinda suck b/c they will hinder the chances of ur team winning the match b/c its a team based game

[Mel]

That's why you should try to play with people on your friends list.

[Uday23]

[chron1caust]

No, its just that 99% of you are

Not really, and i've played with people over 15 who scream.

[Uday23]

Not really, and i've played with people over 15 who scream.

[FortuneWookie]

[Zoso Fan]

[Mel]

Yeah, sorry about that, it's my battle cry.

[Uday23]

Yeah, sorry about that, it's my battle cry.

yours to!?!?!?! now i have to go back to my original battle cry "da du, da du ...... its off to work we go........du da du da dua dua du ad , high ho, high ho,..............!

[Mel]

I guess my new one is going to be "Unicorns are more than horses and all they butterflies must be set free!" It has a nice ring to it and I think it will go nicely with the bodies that I'm sure to be piling in a corner.

[Kilo]

Hopefully not a lot of camping.

[Zoso Fan]

Hopefully not a lot of camping.

They people that previewed the games Mulitplayer behind closed doors have said that camping will be near impossible because of the way the game is set up. To survive, you will need to move from cover point to coverpoint quickly. And example was someone was trying to camp at a building and shoot people that walked by, once his position was discovered, the opposite team could have taken him down easily by getting him from the side. (You also move to different cover points to get a better shot on an enemy.

[Kilo]

Ok thats good, thanks Zoso for the info.

[Zoso Fan]

Ya, that is always one of my innitial concers for a shooter game as well

Good to hear that it is going to be hard to camp in the game. Always hate getting killed by someone thats been hiding his position for 15 min straight!

There is nothing wrong with camping, if you find a safe spot to shoot, where you can only be shot from one place, why would you not do it? Would you prefer to snipe from the open, with no cover?
