to many little kids XBL

So I was playing MW2 and there was this one player talking in his mike on my team with a really high voice asking somebody how do you throw a grenade. I told him but we lost because the kid waqs just running into the other team getting killed. I know if you have a older brother you sometimes play his games but come on, do I really have to hear the kid screaming when he gets killed. I have nothing against little kids playing games but I think online is a little much. If you want to hear more of this check out my blog:D

So, do you have some grand plan to remove all the little kids off of Xbox Live?

Im just saying I am not going to have a grand plan I am just saying

You blog about how much you hate kids?

Thats why they have MUTE

I remember playing SOCOM online when I was still a young teen, and I'd always get crap for being a little kid, even though I was better than most people who played at the time. Now I play Xbox Live, 19 years old. It's weird being on the "otherside" of the situation now, and I try to give kids a break on Xbox Live, because not too long ago some of us were in that position.

I am a older gamer and do not like hearing kids while I play games either. I basically grabbed my mic and put it in the trash because the majority of Xbox live population are kids and I play games to get away from people.

To be honest, I don't know why so many kids are playing games like MW2 or Gears or whatever. We have the ratings system for some reason.

Some kid's think it makes them look "solid" if they play these games and it's them that make all kid's look like brats.

Their parents need to take active role in their lives and curb those little potty mouths.

Isn't it worse when older people scream when they die? Mic, not mike.

For all I know, everyone on XBL is a little kid. Some of them are pretty good and/or they'requiet. As another older gamer, 27, it's not a big deal to just hear them. I remember back in the SOCOM days on PS2 I jumped into a game with some kid that really sounded like he was maybe 5. He was a terrible player and annoying as hell and it was 5am eastern time. As long as it's only one of them, it isn't too bad because if your squad was decent enough you could compensate for the inevitable loss of the one bad player.

The ones I hate are the ones who have a 7 word vocabularyand I use the word"vocabulary" loosely. It'sjust a combination of racial epithets and obscenities and all they do is spam on the mic and just non-stop spew profanity. Yes there is a mute option but apparently a lot of other players don't realize that.

When I still had my XBL Gold account I was playing skate one night and I ended up playing with one of the aforementioned kids. It wasaround 3 or 4am eastern time. I found the mute feature eventually(and the option to avoid and report said player) butI was apparently the only one who went into that game who found it. I don't know how a lot of other online games work on XBL but skate didn't let you pick your specific game to jump into. You chose your game type and then it connected you of its own volition. Especially in the wee hours you could sign out of a game to get away from a player and sign right back into the same game. Since I had him muted, it didn't bother me to be in there because his vocabulary was roughly on par with his ability to play the game (incerdibly weak). I was working on the achievement for winning25 ranked online matches in a row. Sadly, anytime someone else worth having in the game popped in this kid offended them and/or p!ssed them off to the point they signed out. I don't know if they signed back in again after waiting a minute or two and found another game or not but eventually the kid got tired of getting his arse kicked and logged off. Then it returned to normal. Eventually a couple of people signed in to play. I'm not very chatty when I play but the optionto have a casual conversation with another players is always nice.

Welcome to the internet, i guess.

personally Iim glad that online gaming wasnt mainstream when I was a kid, I got to enjoy the golden age of gaming with the SNES, MegaDrive, PS, N64 etc

i think alot of people forget what they were like as kids, and would you of wanted to miss out on xbox live if you were the same age nowdjrobst

They all play modern warfare 2, plus I mute them, ever heard of slience is golden?

i wish there was a way microsoft could figure out the ages of these kids and put them in an under 18 lobby or something. have it where kids and adults are separated. i dont know how microsoft would do that, but man would it be appreciated. i dont ever use a headset when playing online. when i do use a headset, im in a party with friends.

if all the little kids stayed on COD that would be great so I will encounter less of them on better games like Halo, counterstrike, BC2, gears, Bulletstorm!!!!!(hopefully its good). But in general even if they aren't little kids there are still A holes and at that point you could just mute them and not write about it in forums.tehHaste

Just mute them. If you ignore them, they might actually shut up. They're simply doing to annoy others.

little kids playing MW2 was one of the most annoying things...kinda happy i switched to battlefield :) it's either no one talks or older people :P

You are a smart man (or woman, or kid, or alien. Whatever).

Kids are everywhere. On the internet, on XBL, on PSN, online PC games, on the Wii, and believe it or not, there even in real life. Yea, what a shocker.

If you really find them annoying whilst playing on XBL mute them, or leave the game. There really isn't much else you can do, and complaining about it on the internet is just... welll, retarded I guess considering the vast majority of internet users are probably kids -_-

Um... My 7 year old cousin types better English than you OP. If I had to choose between listening to him "squeak" in plain clear educated English and you mumble your ignorant English... I would choose listening to him squeak...

You Cant Escape Kids On Any Game Just Mute And Play As You Would Like They Were Never There To Begin With

I do! Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal."

Problem solved. :P
