Hey guys,
Lately, I've been hopping around CS servers here and there. The usual, dust2, nuke, inferno, etc. The maps haven't changed much, the servers are regularly the same, and whatnot. But one thing has changed, and I think it took a a wrong turn and affected the overall impression of a gamer.
young, immature players.
Yes, this a problem we all have faced at least once.. Let me tell you a story that happens more than I can count. Whenever I join a server, I always here the other side talking about what they did, what they're going to do, if they're going to LAN or not. Everyone gets along, ocassionaly there is a "faggot" or "bitch you stole my kill" coming from the angry one, but its all good.
Then comes the 12 year old. Calling everyone a nub, screaming at his mom that he wants chocolate milk, blasting music that makes you want to rip your ear drums off, this is what ruins my game all the time. What makes matters worse is that its just not one guy, its everyone around us. At least one player in the CS server hasn't hit puberty yet, and will start using words like n00b, fucker, bitch, and more. These words and actions have tainted the word "gamer", and given us all gamers a bad name.
Back in the day, gaming was only for the mature who can actually handle the harsh reality of killing 4 guys but being unable to defuse the bomb. Back then we had mature gamers, now we have these kids that act nothing near it.
So please, share your thoughts about this ongoing problem.
(Note: I know there are several young players on the boards that may have felt offended, but please take no offense, this was not targeted towards you.)
now imagine that same 12 year old in your beloved forums, ruining everything, making stupid topics, every post makes you cringe, i would think it would be ok to call someone out for doing some shit like that. If we don't they won't realise how absolutely everyone thinks he's an idiot.
