here's an experience i had last week. i jump into Gears after quite awhile of not playing online. First round - within one minute a teammate gets downed and I'm nearby. I run over and tap "Y" to revive him. It had been so long since I played that I forgot that to revive, you press "X". Anyway, he gets blasted by an opponent's shotgun, I die too, and entire team is taken out. IMMEDIATELY in the lobby I get flamed. "WHY DIDN'T YOU REVIVE ME YOU F*CKING C_NT? YOU SUCK!!". The other teammates follow his lead, "HEY (forgot his name), WHY DIDN'T HE REVIVE YOU?", "YOU F*CKING SUCK" etc., etc., etc.

I was so pissed that I yelled something back, only to realize my mute button was on LOL. But the experience reminded me that there are some real jerks out there. For every cool person on live, there's a person that isn't cool. Just comes with the territory.

Anyway, I switched lobbies and ended up enjoying some good games that night.

You sound like a smart kid. I'd like to tell you that it gets better...but really it doesn't. Whether it be games or life, you do what YOU want, not what some dumbasses think you should be doing because it's popular. But it sounds like you've already figured that out.fedgem

i agree. it's all about what you want do, not what they want you to do.

lost planet wasn't that great in my opinion. it would've been better if the character's movement was faster.
