Is there something wrong with people online?

sublime8022 · 05-08-2008

I really don't understand people when I play online. I think the computer pedestrians have more brains then others I play with.

Problem-For some reason... No matter what, they have this huge urge to kill you for no reason.. This goes for every room I have ever been in.

Solution- I turned friendly fire off thinking this will end my horrible cycle of getting killed. But no people insist on finding a rocket launcher and blowing your car up so when you get out they run you over.

Just five mins ago this kid black_32 kept killing me over and over so I finally got away and grabbed a helicopter about 10 mins later I see somthing coming at me.. He went out of his way to grab a copter and kill me.

Is any one else annoyed by this? I think me and scuba or bamf were trying to get six stars but couldn't cause team kept killing us.

Just mark people like this as avoided players, that way Xbox Live won't put you and them into the same game again.

Oh. Wait. Nevermind.

Some people are just drawn to instant mayhem, and live to ruin your good time.

I was playing online a little bit the other day, and the room was filled with 10 year olds. One of them kept saying "I like pizza, pizza pizza pizza" for about 3 minutes. I muted him....then unmuted him and he was still doing it. So it was probably more around 10 minutes.

Thats why I only played online for a day or 2.

This single player seems like it goes on forever. I been doing all main missions for over a week now and still no end in sight. (about 3 to 4 hours of playtime a day )

Zero, im still jealous of how you beat the game so quick. This is the most amount of missions i've seen in any game.

You had to of used cheat codes the whole way though....cmon admit it !

Well if you notice how people have always played Grand Theft Auto, it's all the same. They love to run around and kill people, and the stakes rise when it's real people they can be pissing off rather than bots. I imagine it will eventually settle down, though. Try playing with people off your friends list for now.

not only just killing people, there are also just plain idiots online, who cant even do simple objectives, target, shoot, drive, or even run properly. Its one of the easiest multiplayer games ive played, and people still suck *** at it on a kindergarden level. This is becuse the amount of casual gamers whove bought this game and play it online outnumbers the gamers who actually know how to play. So for the duration of this games lifecycle it will still be full of kids and dumb adults who cant play or drive worth a ****.

I haven't experienced this too much, then again, I don't play too much online. I'm really into the offline campaign, there is so much to do now, IMO online isn't very good at all, it's decent in races and deathmatch, but free roam is nothing like I expected. I cannot go in a game without dumb teamates, and lot's of lag. Campaign's where it's at.

When you are playing in small groups, I think it makes it more fun to target one single person. I do believe it has to be a mutual thing though, if I see the guy trying to kill others or seems to be getting pissed off, I will happily stop. I won't go out of my way to only kill a guy though, anyone standing where I can hit them are fair game.

I would never kill a member of my team though. If they are TKing me, or are somehow in the same car as an enemy and I happen to be carrying an RPG, I may just happen to "accidentally" kill them.
