Modernwarfare 2 Community hostile and not very friendly

anytime I hear racial slurs, it ruins the game for me. I either leave the game, or team kill the offender until they leave.

The best thing I ever did was turn on my privacy settings (for 360). Gaming is so much more enjoyable now.I love the COD franschise but when MW1 came out I began to see a lot of bad Halo players make the migration over to what is obviously a superior game. For a long time I stopped playing COD beause of that and then I thought, "gee why should I miss out on a cool game that I paid for?" so I immediately blocked all communications and left them open to friends only and then I used my biospace as a message to all the POSs on XBL saying that they're lifeless morons and not to waste their time sending a message.I also don't accept random friend requests. That's the best you can do. I play MW2 religiously and have never had a bad social experience yet.

I also have a PS3 and must add for the record that while PSN players are aLOT more sophisticated the infrastructure is plagued with an assortment of con artists, chain mailers, and wierdos (trolls- bizarre luciferian black candle trolls). Sorry, fanboys PSN isn't perfect either.And I haven't had it working for awhile so not sure if they have a unfied mute system yet or not.

[QUOTE="btaylor2404"]I think both communities are fairly bad. I basically mute everyone anytime I play a FPS online. It takes so much away from the game to have someone going on and on.Black_Knight_00

i agree would make life so much easier wouldnt it :P

Why wouldn't they say a word? Because you would threaten them physically?Mash_Affect

I only play co-op games and MMORPGs. (non PVP)

XBL does come with a "mute all" function. From "My Xbox" open your profile. Then choose "Edit Profile" -> "Privacy Settings" -> "Voice and Text", and set it to "Friends Only".

It will briefly disconnect you from XBL, but when you come back, you'll only be able to hear your friends, and only they will be able to hear you. You can avoid all those racist, homophobic teenagers that seem to make up the bulk of XBL.

[QUOTE="Black_Knight_00"] I wish they put a 'mute all' function in MW2. When I play team modes and I want to chat with my friends I have to mute everyone else one by one every time... else someone will complain about us speaking "foreign languages".Dire_Weasel

Odd I seem to find the PC comunity alot more friendly. Might be because PC version was striped of it deticated servers and awsome mod content 0_0 in that case i dont blame em.
