What do you think? Do you share my opinion?

[Axel]

Well, all of the games you mentioned were the ones I was expecting.

Popular things usually are the worst :P

[Fez]

Left 4 Dead - Arguable, if you play pub servers then it's a risk in terms of enjoyment. I have friends so I always have a good time.
World of Warcraft - I'm going to be spending a month in the game, for a case study thing I'm doing for a thing thing. I dunno yet ololoololol
Halo - Very icky picky. The online Halo community are true brothers but other than that it's pretty grr grr
CounterStrike - TF2 is better
Modern Warfare - Yup. MW2 more than MW1, the latter being a masterpiece of an FPS and the former being one of the worst experiences I've had (multiplayer wise).

[Axel]

Indeed. I'm really beginning to hate the Wow community now, after browsing the MMO Champion forums for so many months... almost every player annoys me in their own way.

Also Niall, you should add me on Steam, I just checked out your TF2 video with you doing karaoke lol. I just play Dustbowl 24/7 though... deathxcs is my steam ID if you wanna add.

The whole point of these Top 5 videos is to let people express their opinion and promotes debate :)

This isn't a definitive list, obviously people are entitled to their own opinions which will differ depending on their experience in game.

Added you Axel

I thumbed it up so some people should see it from my channel.

Bet all the COD fagboys from your channel are gonna flame Niall now cos he put COD as the top worst community lol. At least the video gets a lot more views though.

Cheers mate.

Axel, I don't care about the haters. Everyone has their own opinion, and flaming will just prove my point.

Haters gonna hate

Good videos so far lad.

True 'dat.

I would agree with your 5 picks, although I would say the gears of war community should be in there too, they're pretty bad for rage quitting, and the usual abusive stuff plus: "omg host noob", "omg active noob". I'd say they'd be either 1st or 2nd on the list.

**** me man, the Gears community is full of very angry people haha. In my experience, the stereotypical Gears player hates Halo because it's 'too childish' and are terrible at COD, so they only play Gears, which we all know is iffy online, so they mature into OTT angry people. I've ran into people that have literally screeched down the mic at me because I've gone around a corner, hit a guy, and panic double B buttoned them, if you play Gears you'll know how frowned down upon. And yeah, like you said about host advantage.

On the actual topic, yeah I pretty much agree, I only ever play L4D with at least one friend so if something wrong happens and the vote to kick buttons comes up, we can always down vote. Like Fez said, with Halo I feel more a part of a community if you run into friendly people, but if you ran into idiots/squeakers, it puts me off playing so much

[Southe,]

Sonic the hedgehog Fanbase. i lol'ed at the WoW comment xD

[Fez]

Fallout fanboys can be harsh sometimes too.

[Gibs960]

World of Warcraft gets annoying sometimes, most of the time when I ask a more experienced player they either respond or don't but sometimes when I'm just minding my own business, I get hate comments, like "OMG NOOB!!! HAHA!!!". And I agree with the rest too.

Yeah, alot of the people on gears think they're mlg pro lol, and if you do anything remotely not 'pro' you get loaddds of abuse. It was alot worse too when the xbox still had the 'private chat glitch', used to get spammed sooo much. But saying that, gears 1 was amazing, its a shame they ruined it in the sequel's multiplayer, although apparently its not as bad anymore.


Oh yeah, the runescape community is pretty horrible too, full of children who think, because, theyve spent pointless hours on the game getting up levels they're amazing, and ive never met anyone who is willing to help with anything.

Private chat glitch? Never heard of that one, what happens?

[Camy]

Private chat glitch? Never heard of that one, what happens?

Before they patched it, instead of pressing 'invite to private chat' once and it going to private chat, you could press it loads of times rapidly before it went into private chat, making hundreds of the 'blahblah has invited you to private chat' things come up on their screen. If you got 2 or 3 people to do it at the same time you could break their account basically lol, they wouldnt be able to send or receive messages for at least a fortnight.

What console was l4d, mw2 on?

I wouldn't have put L4D in there. I dont know what else I'd put though... Never really played warcraft, Halo definetely, Counterstrike definetely and I was wondering where COD would come up, either first or second. :P

For the best gaming communities though, I gotta say that when I play on Gears of War (1 or 2) I always had a great time, the gaming community wasn't full of ********, they were genuinely fun to play with.

[Nemo]

I dunno about WoW, its kind of half n half. Whilst the forums are full of whiners and idiots, and trade chat is full of elitists and idiots, some of the guilds are one of the best communities imo. The family kind of feel you get from them, and that sense of community is incredible, partly because you spend so much time with them, but just because you get to know them really. Atleast, i dont think it should be in one of the worst, even if some of the general/trade chats are pretty awful for new people.

[KebabJuice]

Well, all of the games you mentioned were the ones I was expecting.
Lol i liked a couple of them but i got bored after a while.

[Niall!]

What console was l4d, mw2 on?

Most of these games were on the PC (the exception being Halo)

[AgnesIO]

No..

I mean what console do YOU play them on.

The community is very different on pc compared to 360 for example

[Axel]

No..

I think he already answered that question. Most of them were on the PC, with the exception being Halo...

[Describe]

I agreed with most of them and shared the relatively same experience on both Warcraft and Counter Strike aswell as engaging myself into countless arguments with Americans over how "USA pwns Britain" a topic which nobody in the chat actually brought up.

Offtopic: It was pretty funny hearing you speaking like the common players.

[Niall!]

No..

Are you stupid or something?

I play them on PC. Apart from Halo.

Meh, could have been better I reckon :P

[AgnesIO]

No I am not stupid thank you very much.

You said most of them ARE on pc. I know that very well thank you very much.

I said what do YOU play them on. Thanks

[Rock]

Haha. Loving the commentary.

I wasn't surprised by the picks. Especially Halo and younger kids.

[Niall!]

No I am not stupid thank you very much.

You said most of them ARE on pc. I know that very well thank you very much.

I said what do YOU play them on. Thanks

And my answer made it pretty clear I play them on the PC :S

Is it really that hard to use common sense, it's quite obvious he meant he played them on the PC.

[Axel]

I said what do YOU play them on. Thanks

And he told you what he plays them on... try reading his post again.

[AgnesIO]

I have read his post, I just assumed he knew I was a pc gamer (I forget I don't have my user title on this account stating it)..

Anyway I VERY rarely have issues with people calling me a "noob" etcetera on cod.. I occasionally get called a hacker if I do well over 5 games or something - from experience users are far more nooby on xbox - since soo many 10 year olds have them
