Dumb question I know but here's my situation. I have 3 RL friends who I play XBL with, only prob is the only games they play MP on is Halo 3 and ODST firefight, thats it, period. They all got MW2 played the single player then returned it, and they get other games, but only Halo is allowed MP time. I've tried sending friend requests to people in MW 2 but I get told to **** myself. Just wondering the best way to get some friends on my list that I can play some spec ops or MP with on MW 2 or other games for a change. And no, im not a 13 yr old im in my mid twenties lol

- Play random matches and send friend requests to those you had a good time with.

- Ask anyone on these forums...or anyone on any gaming forums. Don't put anyone that has a bad/elitist/idiotic attitude though as it's possible that have that attitude in live or in real life as well.

- If someone is asking for help on an achievement or whatever (such as ODST firefight) join up with them. If you accomplished the job and had a good time doing it, chances are they'll probably keep you in their Friends List.

- If you have friends in real life and if they have live accounts, add them.

Change your Gamertag to HotAsianGirl or something similar. You'll have over a hundred friend requests in around five minutes.

basically, dont try to make friends in games like mw2. most people in there, as well as cod4, are overcompetitive jerks. ive made plenty of friends from other games, especially team fortress 2. basically, find a game with a better community.

Sent you a friend request. I don't really play with any of my friends because of my NAT type [which I have to soon fix], but I try to.

if your funny and your good at your games, you end up with a ton of friend requests.

*humor is key*

Mik3W

Mmm.. yeah, that's going to work.

Anyways, the only times I've made friends in games like CoD or Halo are when the same poeple keep playing over and over again, if they see you like a good teammate, they will add you, or at least they won't tell you to **** off/yourself/etc. But most of my friends come from games like Marvel v Capcom/Mortal Kombat. Usually when I have a GOOD game with someone I receive or send a message saying 'GG,' which is followed with another message, like 'we should play again' or 'wanna play again?' OR 'rematch?' and there you go, friend request and you got yourself an xbox live friend (most people playing those arcade games own at least one game like halo/gow/cod/etc.)

Good Luck!

You can add me too. Ggamertag is in sig. im a 25 year old male, and mature, lol. That is the worst part with COD and Halo, is all the immature, racist, whiny, prepubescent kids on there.

Here's a novel idea Microsoft, let us sort our online requirement by age!

Ironic, considering that in general, the Youtube community is no better than the Live community...or most internet communities in general. But to the op, like i said, if you trying to get buddies, be nice and friendly and just steer clear from the idiots...no matter where you are.

people tend to befriend good team players, who offer help, or enemy positions, the occasional "nice shot" etc. most of my friends list comes from Rainbow Six vegas, when we made a cohesive team we all added the other in order to keep having good teammates to play with, also there is my gamertag, in case you fancy some modern warfare 2

I usually add people i know, it's kinda hard to "meet" someone just by playing a quick match. In my opinion it isn't like an MMORPG for example where "you know' a lot of people.

I used to only have my cousin as a friend and a couple others and we would play COD4 together. What we would do is copy the 4 character clan tags of other clans and then tell them that we were taking over their clan, that it no longer belonged to them, and that they needed to get out because they were not good enough to be in OUR clan. Its worth quite a few laughs, you guys should try it, you would be suprised at how many clans take that seriously. Then one day when I was playing COD WaW and I met a bunch of guys from the 82nd Airborne stationed out of Ft. Bragg. It was just me, by myself, so I decided to copy their clan tag and give them the usual mess. I made them laugh and they invited me to play with them. They knew alot of people, who in turn knew alot of people and I have been branching out and making new friends ever since. I still play with the same core group of guys, but every so often somebody introduces someone else new. Needless to say, my friends list is full now. So I would say that the best way to make friends is to make a group of guys laugh and invite you to their party. Soon your friends list could be full. By the way, I hate Australians, would never befriend one. When ever an Australian gets host, everybody's connection suffers a terrible lag storm. (I hope you understand that I hate you because of the fact that you mess up everybody's connection.)

I never add people unless I know them in real life. I always get friend requests but I rarely send them out.

I can tell ya. Don't kill steal, friendly fire, act stupid, or be annoying. Couple things to help make friends online, or at least keep them. Yeah, a lot of people swear by halo and only halo. i still don't get it.

a quote from a member of the forums here:

"Xbox Live: you wont find a more wretched hive of scum and villany" or something like that...its pretty true

feel free to add me if u desire, tho my 360 is on the fritz after it got banned, so i need a new one to get on live again, but that should happen possibly around christmas or if i get another job...

so ya if anyone needs a good, hard working 18 yr old male from the suburbs, i am qualified in almost nothing, but i can assure you of my loyalty and motivation to get the job done!(and i can understand binary code!(actually, thats a lie too)

I've actually met my best friends over XBL. It's really hard to believe I know, but thinking back on meeting them, I just wonder about the slight differences in choice I could've made that would've resulted in me not meeting one of them. The number of people I'd say are/were my true friends on XBL: Really really good friends- 4, true and best friends- 1.

Just don't act like a immature person that's how I got my friends though I don't have many friends 23 to be exact because I rarely talk but when I do I try to help and mute people who act like they should be in a mental hospital or in kindergarten

By playing the games online and finding cool people and then adding them to your friends list. It's really not that complicated.
