Online gaming is the one arena where Microsoft has thrived over its competition, especially over the last generation. With the NPD’S recent report demonstrating that the Xbox 360 is selling nearly twice as many online capable games as the PS3, it is clear that many gamers are turning to Xbox Live for their online gaming experience. While Xbox Live may have a higher user base than its fellow gaming consoles, not all is right in the online home that Microsoft or Sony built. My fellow gamers, our greatest danger does not come from diabolical hackers or over priced DLC/online subscriptions. No, our greatest enemy games right here among us. From achievement whores to disconnecting crybabies, PlanetXbox360 proudly presents the Top 10 Types of Players to Avoid in Online Gaming.
10. The Lone Wolf: Everybody wants to be the lone badass that is able to singlehandedly win victory for his entire team, but the lone wolf takes it too far. He/she refuses to provide cover fire in Gears, charges blindly against the enemy team with the energy sword in Halo, and takes all the pizzas in TMNT. There is a fine line between being a hero and a selfish ass!
9. The “I have a crappy connection but I still blame lag on other players” Guy: If your only paying $9.99 for internet a month, then chances are that your internet connection is not suitable for online gaming. Please stop blaming other gamers for laggy connections when you know d**n well that your connection isn’t even suitable for an online game of Uno.
8. The Under-sexed Girl Harasser: Just because a girl accepts your friend request on live, this does not mean that she wants to have your children. I have had female friends that refuse to play online with strangers because they are tired of being harassed by undersexed gamers that barrage them with messages and sexual innuendo-laced comments. It is possible to make a connection on Live, but don’t just assume that girl gamers are in desperate need of attention from the opposite sex.
