OMG! 360 DESPERATLEY Needs an Age filter for online games!

[QUOTE="RedruM_I"]What do you expect? The Xbox360 community is largely made of annoying preteens who couldn't afford a real console (PS3) :)93soccer

Although I don't agree with him, how is the PS3 overpriced, especially compared to the 360? And how do you apparently know all PS3 users use their PS3 for are blu-ray movies? Do you even have a ps3?

There is a filter on the 360 that basically mutes all mics (theirs and yours) unless you are on their friends list. There are age and time restrictions built in.

What I haven't seen mentioned is the irresponsible parents.

1. Buying their kids a game they probably shouldn't be playing.

2. Their children talking like sailors from the 1920's

3. Not monitoring what in the world their child is up to.

I could go on, but you get the point.

:roll:

Just do as I do, mute all of them!

Differnt people...different experiances...I found out to avoid online games between 1-5PM. All the little kids get outta school around that time. It's like they've been waiting all day to get online and call someone the N-word. this is no different on PSN. Uncharted 2 and Socom have some of the worst kids gaming.

It's sad that in some cases, I hear kids that sound younger than 10 years old. I don't understand parents that allow kids to have computers, TV and consoles in there rooms. Then their the first ones to protest a kids going to porn sites and playing violent videogames. They truly treat consoles like they're babysitters.

Ok i have been playing MW2 non stop since i picked it up at the midnight launch and as we all know MW2 doesnt allow party chat, so gamers are now all open micsduring the game and WOW, the 360 community has gotten much more loud, immature, and annoying in the last year since the 360 has gotten party chat. I think every single matchI have played so far have been age 16 and under and it gets extremely annoying!

I love using my mic during online games but its just terrible and i have to turn it off because i will literally get a headache.. Put it this way, its equal to being on a school bus on a friday afternoon with a lot of middle schoolers.. I thought the Halo 3 community was bad, MW2 players make Halo 3 players seem like einstein. Anyway the 360 BADLY needs a age filter for online games, im not sure how it would work but i think it should be in age ranges.. for example you can have options to play with gamers between ages 12-15, then 16-19then have a 21 and up option. That would make it so much better.

And besides, im 25 and its really wierd and awkward playing with abunch of pre teens. I think people my age that have been playing MW2 on xbox live can agree with me on this one.

they just need a mass mute button, to mute everyone who isn't on your friends list. AAllxxjjnn

>Play Call of Duty

>Complain about children online

This is why I like Wii's online. The intelligence of a live person, but the silence of an AI player.

I guess I'm just lucky because although I've been playing MW2 for hours I haven't encountered more than a few annoying people, and a simple mute is all I need to do to fix that

The worst thing they could have done for XBL was ban party chat. Now we have groups of friends doing their thing in open chat.

Last night I was in a game where my side was more concerned with the quality of a chicken dinner than the progress of the game. I can now make the perfect chicken gravy but it didn't help us win the game.

On XBL you do this from your profile. Go to privacy settings and you can set who can send you messages, change your online status to away, busy, offline, etc. and say who you want to hear voice chat from: Everyone, friends only or no one.

I usually play COD4 on the friends-only setting for who can see me online and who can chat but I thought I would give modwar2 another chance.

Actually he has a point. The PS3 is a good console but it can't hold a light to the 360, in my opinion anyway. People who own both generally buy their multiplats for the 360 - better online - better controller - better DLC.

My PS3 is mainly a Bluray player now, I buy a game for it about twice a year. Of the people on my friends list, and real life mates who have both, about 80% go with 360 as their main gaming machine. I'm not saying the PS3 is bad - it isn't, it's an amazing piece of hardware. I just like the 360 better for gaming on as an all-round package.

I'm 16 and don't consider myself to be loud or obnoxious online unless I'm with friends then we joke around a bit but isn't that normal? I don't think you should put 16 year old's down because for the most part they are just highly competitive, however twelve year olds i can see but sixteen? Come on that's the legal age to buy M rated games in some countries and i wouldn't doubt if the majority of 360 players were still in there early to late teens so having a option to play with people 20+ you probably wouldn't find many people.

video games are for young people. once you get to be old like me, you accept this, trust me. you also find people who are too serious about video games and spend their time barking 'orders' and 'plans' at everyone just as annoying as the screaming teens. its like c'mon boss, this is call of duty. you just run around shooting at guys. no need to play it like tf2.

So you're saying i am not as mature as a 21 year old just because im 16?shahchip

I fully agree and its a bit of a put off, i'd also like some locale filters, it be nice to choose where you want to play online.

I really just want, non competitive online fun play, i'm not interested in trash talking or anything like that and I also don't really want to play with kids. And people just get too aggressive.

I think it was irresponsible of MS to just through in in mics with no other filter controls, especially since they aren't interested in policing the service and for the money I think I should get things like this. It seems like people are just thrown in together on Xbox Live.

The reporting negative system is a joke, I think I was reported for bad langage, just because I was winning or doing something someone else didn't like, I don't even use the mic unless someones on my freinds list. :roll:

Especially in FPS games, people really tend to act elitist sometimes. So i'm put off playing Halo 3 and Call of Duty games online.

If i'm wrong about any of this stuff, its because as you can tell I don't play online much.

That made me laugh :D

Even if it was possible to filter age groups, you'd still have the idiot 18-30 something morons who still think and act like 13 year olds.

Perssonaly i seen flame war between two people in UC2 game lobby (thank god they landed in opposite teams), just ones.

People are people. Dont' forget these are just kids who havn't learn't yet how control and behave in society. They learn certain attitudes and behaviours from either parents, friends or other people.

What is really sad, and I do feel sorry for them is when they are adults who have children of their own.

However we all have to grow up some day and face ourselves and responsibilites.

The other stuff also comes from the responsibilites of parenting and how your actions, fears, insecurities can roll on to your children.

The reason why some people act like that is because they have issues. No doubt they've broken the terms of agreement and be reported soon enough as well.

Anyway, they are the ones with the problems and issues not you.

If you stick with a group of people and friends that you know you'll be fine.;)

I always do.

There are many good gamers out there and trust me you'll have more fun.

i play alot on 360 and i barely notice this behaviour...infact i come across more annoying adults then kids. also he is right..why single out xbox live? oh i totally forgot you're a cow, well that explains it.

Mute button is your friend.

As if it'll work, kids will just put in that they are 30 years old.

I think the reputation system being more featured would help.

I know that when giving players feedback can effect your chances of playing with them again, I'm not sure it filters out those who you have not played before.

There are groups that would suit the person that is recommended to them but it isn't perfect and because even if they are going to behave like that they willmay notgo to the underground group.

I think a combination of the player reputation, what group they belong to and people being more proactive when it comes to player feedback and sticking and creating the right list of friends should help over time.

Being online like a forum, a second life. IRC or gaming needs to also be moderated to prevent misuse and violation of the terms and agreements.

It just takes the effort of the membersto helpthe moderators to keep the service being suitable.

i agree, but the only place that isnt like that is on pc games where everyone is usually 17-up and if there are little kids then they never talk cause i never hear any

Yeah nothing like getting on vent and talking to your new guild leader for the first time to find out his voice hasn't changed yet. Voice chat needs to go away forever.

Don't play games like COD.
