About a month ago I came back from a four week hiatus from the internet, forced in part by moving home. While the move itself was rapid and problem free, the sluggardly response time for my ISP to connect me to the internet was a nuisance.
However those four weeks had left me unable to play matchmaking in Halo 3 like I would normally, so I ended up popping in a couple of other games I had not touched since before Halo 3 launched in September, and playing a lot of single player campaign.
However now I am online once more and have returned to the world of online multiplayer, and have come to a realisation about myself.
I hate playing multiplayer alone. An oxymoron if ever I saw one, what I mean is I hate going into multiplayer without at least one of my friends list either playing with me, or on a private chat with me. The majority of people I meet online in X-Box live are foul-mouthed little gobshites who more often than not I am forced to mute before the match starts. Most of the time now when I start up Halo 3 I switch on Mute All in the voice communication options.
What are you like on live. Can you tolerate the fools or like me are you fed up with the stupidity and mute them?
You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

Foul-mouthed little Gobshites would sum it up pretty much. I must admit, I enjoy playing with competent peers in matchmaking. Whiny pissants do not agree with me in halo 3.

hi there – I know exactly what you mean!
I’ll be there playing quite happily & then maybe, shock horror, someone gets killed & this torrent of abuse comes out!
I will be the first to admit if they use abusive or inappropriate language & I can work out who it is, I’ll take the time to report them after the match…
