Well I am fourteen, and I am going to be turning 15 in August.  I dont have a squeeky voice, some guy on live thought I was 18.  I am not annoying like the little 10 year olds who constantly say "can you hear me?"  I am not annoying, so dont hate on all the "little kids" though I wouldnt even call me that.  I am mature, believe me, if you dont send me a friend request and lets game.

Whatever...I think that little kids should have their own Xbox Live...so they can listen to their annoying selves all day.

You should have to take a voice test to determine if you're allowed to use live. If you're too annoying, you should be banned from it ;)

Judging maturity by age? That's mature. I'm 14, I don't have a sqeeky voice, and none of my friends do. Idiots can be any age, though it's true only the young can sound like annoying brats, which even pisses me off, to be honest.

you know it be nice if they had a Filter on XBL that skims out all the kids and pits you in a matches with a age group you select like 18-to what ever! with that said there are still some pretty cocky and anoying 18 year old's out. white kids who think there black the Stoner who can only talk about how stoned he is and lets not forget about Drunk Red neck (good old drunk redneck!) Thats why you have a Friends list i guess! to sort out the good from the bad! oh well for the most part i dont even use my head set i just take it off and do my thing and let who ever talk among them selfs!

I switched my Zone to Family in hopes of getting the most mature players to play with me in matchmaking. :P  All the cocky kids tend to be in "Underground" because they think they're tough, or "Pro" because they're full of themselves. :wink:

I think this thread is trolling because it discriminates a certain age group. To everyone who is 14 here they might take offense. And besides anyone at any age could be annoying, and the fact that people complain about high-pitched 12 year-old voices is only justified should they not know when to stop talking.

Okay one other thing.  I have friends ranging from 14-30.  And I play with the 30 year olds in conversations for long times and they are not annoyed.  That says something.

yes any one of any age can (and on XBL probly is) anoying!i dont think this topics is "Trolling" as you put it. just a good old debate! and it is a issues a fair share of people think about at times (i know i do) but still any age can be stupid just look a Gorge Bush he's pretty old and pretty dumb too!

I'm 17 but I'm going to defend them and say yes who are you to not let consumers get what they want besides you'd think the number of 360 sales aren't affected by young buyers I don't mind them trash talking its part of having a headset get trashed talk or leave or not use your headset if you have a choice  why can't they?

It's freedom of speech, we were all 12 - 13 at one time. Unless you were brought here by E.T, magically already having a broken voice. yeah yeah? no. Yes, it is wrong for a 12 year old to play gears of war, but then again, its no 'better off' if a 15 year old plays it, which i'm guessing the majority of the gamespot community are. 15 - 17. It's still a 18 rated game. What you don't realise though, by calling all these little kids 'immature'.. it's not exactly mature is it? HAHAHAHA UR LYK A 12 YR OLD U SHUDNT BE PLAYIN DIS GO BED. You don't see any 30 year old gamers insulting the younger generation do you? I'm 16 years old, I play regularly with a 29 year old on CoD 3. He's mature, I'm mature. If a 12 year old kid comes on, who gives a **** If he starts screaming down the mic about pokemon and what colour his panties are... who gives a f**k If he insults me, who gives a f**k I'm not going to stoop to his level, throwing pointless insults back, IT'S THE INTERNET, IT'S MADE FOR THESE KIND OF PEOPLE. At the end of the day, we're just tryna play some games. What gives you the right to judge someone from their 'tone of voice'.

Even though I know the kind of people you're talking about, (the annoying prepubescent cuss every 5 seconds people), i still find this stuff kind of offensive since i am 15 and all, people say i sound like im 20 and I'm totally mature about online gaming, don't stereotype an age group instead say "Do you hate the annoying whiney brats on xbox live" and to answer the question no I don't hate them, I think it's fun to be in a game with them and listen to everyone make fun of them, I get a lot of laughs out of it.

Me and my friends arnt annoying we all have quite low voices (we all sound like adults) and we just enjoy gaming.

The problems arnt the kids its the cross country hateing , like the UK Vs USA, i live in the UK and i think some adult americans are very, very annoying!

Well I am fourteen, and I am going to be turning 15 in August. I dont have a squeeky voice, some guy on live thought I was 18. I am not annoying like the little 10 year olds who constantly say "can you hear me?" I am not annoying, so dont hate on all the "little kids" though I wouldnt even call me that. I am mature, believe me, if you dont send me a friend request and lets game.

the majority of little kids ARE LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS! however the majority of 14 year olds aren't little kids. So maybe you should change your ? to 10 year olds. because 14 year olds should be allowed on live they should just follow the same guidelines we do, even if they have a squeeky voice.

im 16 but when i was 13 or 14 i played my first online game, Star Wars Galaxies and i must say it was great and a wonderful learning experience. now, being more mature, young people annoy me because they have the most annoying voices and arnt very mature. Who are we though to say that they cant have fun just because we find their voices unpleasant? you were that way to at one time.

lets be honest here....without little kids to make fun of and have trash talk you where is the fun in the game.  Besides little kids are the easiest to piss off and make fun of.  Older players dont care as much. 

 

Btw gamerguy, right there with you, my first online game was SWG also when I was 12.  But people never knew I was 12 so it was ok.

let me guess  you just turned 15?   basically if you ban any kids you would have to ban all kids to be fair,  and in your 40's you realize that even 20 is just a big kid.

If the parents know about the parental controls on xbox Live, they should definately use them. With all the swearing on xbox it's teaching kids to use them anytime they want.

im 14, i act as mature as much as you old people do, but i admit... most 14 and under kids are annoying like my friend that i play halo with whines every time "NO DONT KILL MEH!, IM SUPER JUMPANGGGGG!!!" then he just kills me when ever he sees me. that is an example of an immature xbl gamer.

 

P.S. ( I never even killed my friend once and he freaks out)

Everyone who doesn't want to hear racist, sexist, general bad language, being personally attacked, hear domestic abuse,age discrimination, and about 100 other things.

 basically why would someone want to go online?   I do, but most of the time I wish I had not.

As long as the child is mature and knows how to act appropriately I really don't care. I have played with adults who act less mature than kids on Xbox live.

I'm 13 years old and I could play XBOX Live Gold when ever I want, you think the whole world is full of adults playing XBOX, Guess Again.

 

You shouldn't play XBOX Live In you parents basements and get a life or a job dumb a***s.
