Top 13 list. - People who talk on their headsets.. « Thread Started on Aug 29, 2012, 12:24pm »
CoD Top 13 list
..why do ten, when thirteen is better!!!!
"Yo Bro, use that headset and start talking!!!"
If you use a headset during CoD (and why wouldn't you?) you'll know where I am coming from here. Every game you play, you come across a wide variety of guy teammates. You don't see these teammates of course, but you most certainly hear them a lot as you play CoD with them week after week.
Below is my top 13 list of what I feel are the most common examples. I'm pulling these right from people I know, with the names withheld of course, to avoid bruising egos. This applies more to bros you play with on an ongoing basis, than say, randoms (who you never really get to know). And for simplicity sakes, I'm going to exclude Squeakboxes and Twinkies, because they are young and aren't real 'bros' as it is. Real Bros have balls that have dropped. They don't. Also, i'm going to exclude women, because they all suck at this game and we don't like them in our groups as it is, they are a distraction.That, plus, i use 'guy' for all the labels, the top ten list wouldn't work very well if used 'gals', that sounds dumb.
To begin......
No 13 - Lag Guy - Lag guy is a staple of CoD playing, and every team/squad will have LG playing an important role on the team. We all know him. He's the guy who gives continually updates throughout the game about how bad the 'Lag' is. "THIS LAG IS KILLING ME" ...is his often heard battle cry as he respawns in the back. Have no fears in a closely contested game, LG will keep you constantly updated on the game's lag situation.
No 12 - Religious Guy - I would swear Religious Guy is a member of the clergy, as all game long, one hears RG constantly going...."OHHHH MYYYYY GAWWWWWDDDDDDD", immediately linked up with whatever the flavored complaint of the day is. And yes, he makes certain to draw it out, in a long and obnoxious manner. RG uses this line incessantly, almost to the point you would think after 23 days of CoD playing, he would pick up that God isn't going to intervene and help him get kills.
No 11 - KD Guy. - KD guy is the guy who has to inform your party throughout the game what his KD stats are. Because, well, it's important to know every 30 seconds how he's doing. Letting us know he is now 5-9 is vital for winning the game. And knowing he just went to 5-10 seconds later is even more crucial!!!
No 10 - Cheater Guy - We all know Cheater Guy. Every time he is shot, it's never a testament to his woefully poor skills as reflected by 0.76 KD ratio, but to his opponent cheating in some manner. "Awwww man, come onnnnnnnnnn, that guy is cheating dammmit. Come onnnnnnnnnnn" ...is what you hear, all game long, every game.
No 09 - - Aimbot Guy - ABG is the close cousin of the above 'Cheater Guy'. But rather than throw out a wide net of accusatory complaints all game, AG specifically nails down exactly how that opponent is cheating every time he shoots him, and better yet, even nails the device being used. Yep, the dreaded 'aimbot'. Because as we all know, they certainly are used in great numbers on the XBox. Yep, AG somehow manages to find himself afoul of these aimbot using opponents, almost every game he plays.
No 08 - - F-BOMB Guy - FBG is just as advertised... this bro will drop more F-Bombs in a nine min CoD match than Andrew Dice Clay does in a 90 min stand up routine. Your ears will be bleeding after listening to what comes out of his mouth. Always best to turn down the headset volume when your kids are in your room, you don't want your ten year old daughter to hear his stuff.
No 07 - - Venom Guy - VG is usually the married bro who has a tough home life, usually a nagging wife who works him over on a daily basis. He gets angry like FBomb guy, he can throw down plenty of FBombs with the best of them... but unlike FBomb guy, who can let things be once the game ends, Venom Guy has the unique abilities to carry his anger forward. If some opponent even coughs to loud post game, them there are fighting words. VG will be calling him out left and right after the game, driving into the enemy in a relentless manner, like a fat guy devouring a meat lovers pizza!!!
No 06 - - Silent Guy - Silent guy is usually found in every squad, ...it's just no one ever notices, because well, he never talks. SG is the bro on your team who you have been playing with for like a year, and then you suddenly realize that you have never heard him talk. Is he actually there? You know he is, he gets kills. But who is he? What is he? Is he deaf? Mute? Is he even a bro?
No 05 - - Garble Guy - GG is the bro who has a mic, loves to use it, and perhaps is giving some incredible call outs - but is the bane of every clan because his mic sounds like it resides in a fishbowl. Every time he talks this blasting noise of static knocks out your eardrums, followed by this garbled, echoing linguistic trainwreck of what appears to be English, but you are never sure. GG claims to be using those fancy Turtle Beach 400's....but what's coming over the headset sure doesn't sound like it.
No 04 - -Banshee Guy - BG is the guy most likely to seriously injure you while playing CoD, in a real life manner. He's the bro who without any warning, will just scream in a blood curdling manner over his headset, literally ripping your eardrum and causing you to fall off your gaming seat. BG's high pitched wail has even caused my dogs to start howling in my house, ...and they were in another room!!
No 03 - - Rage Guy - RG is a tricky bro to spot. By all intents and purposes, he can pass himself as the consummate team player. Great call outs, great player, and always team first. But that ultimately leads to demise, as RG has this annoying habit of just completely going off the deep end about the most ridiculous things. RG will snap on teammates. Go ballistic if they didn't properly cover his left flank. Crucify someone if they didn't help cap a flag. When someone sends him an invite to join up...the whole team gets on edge.
No 02 - - Tactical Insert Guy - TI guy is pretty much RG guy, but in addition to raging on to many to count little gameplay tactics, ....he has one massive pet peeve - People who don't use the Tac Insert. TI Guy is a true story. Only one of them exists in the world, to the best of my knowledge. In my circles, he is a legend of CoD playing and hundreds, if not thousands of people know his tales and stories. Everyone has had an experience with him. TI has gone off the deep end f-bombing people post games for their tactical mistakes to many times to count, as well as always reminding people that IF they had TI equipped, all problems would have gone away!!!! Remind them not once, but every single game that night.
last but not least.....
No 01 - - MOAB Guy - MG believes every person on the squad should work to help him, because he's going to, to quote..."Get a MOAB for everyone this game!!!". Yep. MG demands that people get out of his 'spot', because well, that's his spot every game. Not only that, anyone shooting near or around that spot, needs to back the fvck off, because they are stealing his kills. But to the others, don't move away to far, because MG needs you to make sure you cover his flanks, so no one gets behind him. After all, he is getting a MOAB for everyone!!!

You forgot gameplay complainer guy. Some quotes from him: -"wow just use the ACR kid" -"type 95 really?" -"use a gun other than the mp7 that takes skill" -"omg H4RD$COPING NOOB LEARN 2 QU1CKSCOP3 LIKE M3 NOOB"
That's probably the most common thing I hear people say. Also i'm definitely lag guy. 1 death to lag and i'm screaming inside my head. 2 and I verbalize it. 3 and i'm out of the lobby.

LOL, ...good one. That really does needed to be added. Call him 'Gun Guy', the bro who always whines about the gun used to kill him lol.

Nice one. I'll add it later.
Teh l33ts qu1ksk0p35 guys usually fall under that gun guy category.

I'm probably the biggest connection crybaby I know. Fortunately, I usually just declare "last game in this lobby if host doesn't change" and the problem ends. I also back us out of the lobby if we get merged, etc.
Also, can I be rage guy if I don't rage at people exactly? I just wonder aloud sometimes at the disabilities of people that can't follow extremely simple, mutually beneficial instructions/call outs. Like "two coming from the pipe, player x they are about to be behind you" and see player x, with plenty of time to react, sit at the end of the pipe facing the wrong way. And die. Over and over. Or when player x is the only player on the team not using Assassin, in TDM, and we politely ask that he switch on account of his -10 spread. And he would rather keep getting buttFoxtroted. I'm not the sort just to scream "WEEPING CREEPING CHRIST ON A CRACKER SWITCH RIGHT NOW OR I'LL RAPE YOUR WHOLE FAMILY FUCK," but I will politely ask questions like "So are you autistic, deaf, or both?"
And I thought women being generally worse at CoD was uncontroversial? I don't have many female xbox live friends, but the handful that play regularly aren't exactly concentrated at the top of the leaderboard. They can be fun to bring along though, just for the fun of verbally abusing the awkward randoms that try to impress them over the internet.

I think I'm silent guy. Unless someone says they'll hack me or something then I'm overly hostile guy. The faster you can go from calm to loud and furious the more likely you'll cow someone.

I fit the silent archetype myself, though I can be quite vocal during objective games, doing call-outs and such. doo-doo talk I'll also generally ignore since it's amusing, and more often than not I sulk when I'm dealing with bad teammates -- yet never hollering about it. I'm pretty calm, otherwise.

Judging from the initial tone here, it only comes off as rude. But I also like having girls around since they incite a good deal of commune. It just feels at home. Not to mention they make lobbies hilarious when squeak-boxes go nuts around them and send friend invites, only to be turned down outright.
I'm the guy who constantly blames his deaths on viewkick.
Welcome to the club. I also complain about people using mind bullets or my connection, although that's propably logical. And campers. You know, i don't hate them. I just really, really, reaaaaally dislike them.

Usually it's full of sexist garbage though, in my experience.

Interesting topic. Love the player labels and descriptions.
I am usually my own harshest critic and I am usually pretty honest when confronting my own bad habits or tendencies. I know I have a tendency to get a bit hotheaded, especially around specific video games. I have often associated the Lag Guy, Religious Guy, F-BOMB Guy, Silent Guy, and Banshee Guy all blended together as being part of my own bad habits in CoD, though they usually appear in a specific sequence when confronted with aggravating game play.
It usually begins with Silent Guy, mixed with the occasional Lag Guy. Now, just to note, sometimes when I'm having really good games I'll also revert to Silent Guy, as I'm so drawn into the things I'm doing I'll just go silent to the rest of my team, as if breaking the silence would have a taboo effect on my play. Anyways, when having the frustrating games, which usually do involve questionable connection related antics, the Lag Guy will blend into a Religious F-Bomb guy. When confronted with a continuous downward spiral of aggravation and frustration its not completely surprising to turn into the Banshee Guy. Though, at times this can take teammates by complete surprise considering the possibility that I may of been the Silent Guy just previous, however, Banshee Guy can also come forth in the midst of the Religious F-Bomb guy too.
Now, I do recognize that these behaviors are inexcusable and highly unappreciated by my fellow gamers. I do try to put myself in their shoes and I know I wouldn't appreciate it if they behaved as I did (or might) and so I try to curb those bad habits / tendencies, besides they're pretty embarrassing too, but at times it simply gets to a point where letting go and letting the inner rage and anger just take over feels better or necessary. A bit of a Hulk moment.
I know that this is a clear sign of an anger issue in that my emotional passion will over rule my ability to reason logically and being an anger management issue and a personal fault of my own, it is something that I work on being better at maintaining control of. Some of those steps in relation to CoD is to simply remind myself it's just a game, that nobody really cares, to put myself into my teammates shoes, and to think that it might just be best to simply take a break from the game or to leave that particular lobby, because no game is worth getting that worked up over.
Just to be clear, this is not an accurate description of my game behavior tendencies on a 24/7 level. It's only an admittance of how I am capable of being labeled per those roles at times when frustration can get the best of me.
What is that myth. Every gamer has had a hole in their wall or a broken controller at one point?
I sure as hell know i have a broken controller. It's the only time i broke anything from rage associated with video games though, even though i consider myself a rather angry person. I believe it broke when i threw it at the ground and kicked it against a wall, but to my surprise, it still works fairly decent. The left handle... let's say it's not it's best, but other then the left analog stick sometimes getting me killed(whenever i touch it quickly it acts as if i pressed the directional buttons) via pulling out a jammer in the middle of a gunfight. Other then that i can manage my anger to the point where at worst i will just wish i could punch a wall out. I certainly can't doubt MW3 increases my blood pressure.
Hmmmm. I'm rage guy except I never blame teammates. I just yell at whoever the CM for the game is XD
I guess Witty is quiet guy, sometimes I don't know if he can hear me.
Oh, hey legitbeastin (or you prefer Mr. Snrub now? ), haven't seen you on XBL for quite a while. Sorry if I appeared non-responsive when we played together. I like my headset, but it has one big problem: it is battery powered and it burns batteries too fast. So during the intermission I usually turn it off.

NO one has to apologize, if one sometimes becomes FBomb guy or whatever other type of character classes I made up there.
If you haven't raged, threw some FBombs out or even tossed a controller now and then.....you aren't playing CoD to it's fullest. You aren't living life to it's best.

That's keeping it real.
Everyone has their own way of enjoyment, yet it doesn't mean they have to cuss, scream or whatever. I hardly get worked up over this series, and that's my way of enjoying it -- guilty pleasure, if anything.
Also, I don't see how this compares to living life to its' fullest since gaming is a mere pastime. Heading out with my girl would be just that. :3

Nah, they are my friends or people I don't know. It isn't right for me to simply say that doo-doo to them. They probably don't take the game as serious as I take, so why should that be their fault?

I get angry, but I get into a frustrated quiet angry. I'll back out of a lobby if i a really having a terrible time. I admit I will say "Nice Mp7, do you use that every game?" or "Nice corner, how much fun do you have looking at a corridor?" but I'll try to laugh if bullshit happens, because frustrated laughter has to be better than screaming at the top of my lungs. I don't get even an eighth as angry at Battlefield 3 on the xbox for some reason... In fact the people I meet on it are really chill.

People worried about ruffling feathers with their internet rage should consider the possibility that while some people will be annoyed by you, others (on the other team, most likely) will have endless fun listening to you. I can't be the only one. The quantity/quality of ragers in the lobby has definitely influenced my decisions about whether or not to stay if we lose host, get bad randoms, etc. Quality tears are definitely worth a few k/d points every now and then.
