...that people play a game properly.

I've been playing online games long enough that I understand there are a select group of "special" individuals who make it their life's goal to make other people's leisure time a giant pain in the ass. Be it homophobic racists in Halo, assholes who leave the map in Gears of War, or even people who take advantage of the ever present blue-line glitch in the NHL series, they are out there and all of us have to accept it.

I've recently developed a strong addiction to Battlefield 1943 and while I can't stand the asshole in the game who is standing on the aircraft carrier in Air Superiority waiting for planes to spawn so he can blow them up with a rocket launcher I've come to accept his stupidity. What I can't stand is his/her moronic counterpart. You all know the guy (or girl), the one who gets in a plane and has no idea how to fly it, treating it more like a flying bulldozer than a fighter jet.

News flash to players of Battlefield 1943, the blue team is yours so it behooves you to maybe not try and run them out of the sky as you pursue a kill because all you are going to do is get yourself and your teammate killed. I myself am not the greatest pilot and still generally get more kills in a plane by running it head on into my opponent but I do know to avoid running into my own team members for both our sakes. Oh and in the game proper when you choose the sniper class please find yourself a nice bunker or grove of tress to hang out in, you aren't meant to be front line troops and trying to back up regular infantry with your bolt action rifle generally just means you and your squad mates are going to die. Really its OK to camp if you want to be a sniper.

I am giving you the [i][b]"lit lighter in the air salute"[/b][/i] for this blog. My brothers all have PS3's, so when I play TF2 with them we play on that platform. Nothing pisses me off more than people getting outside the map and setting up sentries, or spies trying to sneak into the spawn room. Either of these things cause me to switch teams, tell off the people doing it, and then rage quit. Cheating is for losers.... except in war, then cheat as much as you can!!!

I haven't run into too many people in BF1943 who sit at my base and cause trouble, but I have had trouble with individuals [i]from my own team[/i] who stay on the carrier and sabotage or attack planes their own teammates are taking off with.

Popular games suck that way. It's too bad that after all the hard work these developers put into shipping a good product, the community occasionally kills all the fun. Yesterday for whatever reason, some guy dropped out of an Annex match (Gears of War 2, for those who don't play the game)... we barely lost the first round, then one of my teammates got frustrated and dropped... after that our Rank 100 dropped as well... so it was just me, one other guy and a 3 stupid bots. ... yeah, that was fun. I've run into very few D-bags while playing Battlefield: Bad Company, though.
