Xbox Live's 'little b*stards' get rude awakening

Hands up who's been abused on Xbox Live? Keep 'em up if it was by a candy-munching, 12-year-old American sprog - with a Childline-bothering aggressive streak and a mouth filthier than Dita Von Teese's wormery.

"Then you're pissed off in multiplayer when some 12-year-old is kicking your ass," he added. "You think: 'I do this for a living you little bastard.' I'm going to crawl down your basement hatch and I'll find you, you little..."

We suggested to Hank that if these half-grown foes knew who he was, they might not be so confident in the virtual warzone. But his train of thought was unrelenting.

He continued: "'I know where you live you little bastard. Use all the expletives you want; when I show up you're going to have a big bar of soap in your mouth and boot up your ass. You little bastard."

Those types are even more pathetic lol. The interweb tough guys, threatening 12 year olds. "I was in Nam...'72" - *kid starts singing*.

Baka-akaB4983d ago

Seriously , hank is every bit as stupid as those kids ...

Kerrby4983d ago

I'm so sick of CVG. They don't even post news anymore.

At first I thought it would be Microsoft doing something about muting the little shits permanetly but no. It's just some war vet getting angry.

How are the "little bastards" getting a rude awakening exactly?

Stupid article as usual CVG.

I love all the trash talk on LIVE. Funny as hell to me.

I don't understand why some people get so upset about what someone else they have never met and probably never will say to them. GROW UP!

Anon19744983d ago

There's nothing wrong with a little trash talking during competitive play. What I take issue with is the racism and homophobia. If you can't trash talk without using some sort of racial slur, there's something wrong with you. If you think a little "racism" is perfectly alright, there's a pretty good chance you've never been on the receiving end.

That's what the reporting tools are for, people. Microsoft patented a tech to censor realtime audio streams. Until they bring that into play and weed out these hate spewing little cowards - it's up to the community itself to take a stand against the perpetuation of racist ideals in online gaming. Make sure if you witness someone spewing hate that you report them. Ignoring racism and homophobia isn't an answer.

Projekt7tuning4983d ago

How is this NEWS? WTF is wrong with N4G lately? This is not news. Why did this get approved?

On topic. Should MS stop giving people free Headsets? No. Come on, its up to us to just report the kids. Also It's not just the US. I have had my fair share of European kid talk trash.

This.

It's entertainment to me. If things get out of hand somehow I always know how to defuse the situation, get the foul-mouthed kids/adults to calm down, play fair, or conversate normally. To those who are annoyingly playing music loudly over Live, a quick mute always does the trick.

pixelsword4983d ago

@ darkride66:

Why the bleep do you still have one bubble when you make good comments like that?

BDSE4982d ago

It's precisely because we are gown up that it gets on our nerves and frankly of you're paying to use online services you'd expect Microsoft to take it a little more seriously then they do.

stop getting your butt kicked by kids then.

milliways4983d ago

Yet if they're actually playing badly, okay so more of an issue in Left 4 Dead, and you can't get people coordinated to have them voted out... the mute button offers no solace in that event.

DeFFeR4983d ago

How would muting that specific child stop you from communicating to the rest of the people?

Do you know how the mute button works? You mute ONLY the little whiny kids, not your headset...

HeroXIV4983d ago

Damn it, for a second I thought MS had developed a technology to auto-mute/ban the little c*nts. :(

God created video games for all to have fun. Those who abuse the holy microphone for scurrilous means shall be doomed to an eternity in hell.

TheObserver4983d ago

I realize video games is like Vahalla. In Vahalla you get to fight all day and then eat then have more epic battles the next. For eternity...

kasasensei4982d ago

A gold subscription for eternity? It is not Valhalla, it is Hell!

kasasensei4983d ago

So many little kids on the charged xboxlive, i wonder where they find all that money?

Jdoki4983d ago

In the pockets of the same parents who buy their screaming brat kids the Mature rated games in the first place!

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G252d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood252d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G252d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade251d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty252d ago (Edited 252d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality251d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator250d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G251d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85252d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai252d ago (Edited 252d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G252d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo252d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg252d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast251d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
