The whole thing is like designed for A-holes to be in control. When somebody is in charge of every game (host) and there are no preset rooms. You are waiting for 5 minutes for a game to start and then you say can we get this game going and then bam the host boots you for saying that. Nothing more pisses me off than that after waiting and then getting booted for BS. I just had to vent cause it has happened a few times today and let's not even go into the rascists because theirs really not much MS can do about that but I don't think it's good to just have a host booting who ever he/she wants there should be a voting out system instead.

Yes, and they're all 8-12 year olds. Who would buy Gears of War for a 10 year old?!

Personally I am more disturbed by the people who talk in this complete nonsense babble. I can't tell if they are paranoid schizophrenic, mentally retarded, or some sublime combination. Its kind of scary. Mostly because I hear A LOT of people that sound like that. Muttering, wheezing, screaming, etc. I guess its just the medium. Makes people freak out or something.

That's a large misconception.  In my experience, very few are actually younger than 14.

Lets face, any online network with lots of traffic has a-holes. WoW has a-holes, System Wars has a-holes as well. It's inevitable. Just send negative feedback and you won't get paired up with them again.

There are, especially like on games like Gears and Halo, but there are ways for you to ignore them, so I don't see why this thread was made.

Lol, I remember being kicked for having no mic, although the guy who wanted me kicked wasn't using his mic to help.

thats one of the reasons I did not buy X360, XBL. on my first experience with XBL, I encountered, racism, homophobias, lots of swearing, trash talking, stupid kids and more. I can remember when my asian friend went on XBL with his vision camera to play totem ball, oh god... it was really bad. racial slurs.

The world is full of A-holes that aren't much fun to play games with.

That's why single-player gaming is better.

Then turn off your mic (unless your playing Gears online because you really need a mic for teamwork).

This one host booted me because he "felt like it". So finally when I called him out for being scared, he let me play, and I took out his whole team by myself and so he booted me again!

You're lucky then, I've played people who said and sound like they were 8.

I totally agree about the hosts who abuse the boot function, I think that more developers should use the vote boot system where you need a certain amount of people to agree in order to boot.

Also ppl gotta use the private game button, that way you dont have piss off 10's of people in order to get all your friends in a game.
