Unfortunately racist remarks go hand in hand with online play. All you can do is either mute people or play with friends. Playing with friends is the way to roll.
Nigga please.
dude....
Yeah us, the oh-so forward looking gamers still cannot accept black guys, homosexuals and we still treat women like toys or trophies. BTW Try playing Halo 3 online on 360.
No wonder why Nintendo does not have Voice chat on Wii on ranked matches!
I guarantee it's 10 times worse on Live. Since EVERYONE has a headset.
Racism, unfortunately will never stop. You either mute them, or suck it down and kill their ass even more.
I understand why it pisses you off, but I think that letting it bother you is a waste of your time. There are all sorts of things that piss me off in the world, but I just ignore them rather than let them eat away at me to the point of insanity. Yojimbo was right to say that it goes hand in hand with online play. It's just the way of online gaming sadly.
Another half black person in the house!!
But seriously, yeah it sucks. Mute is your friend and that's about all you can do.
thanks for the support
I was about to write some long ass thing about that word and blah blah blah, but seriously, you complaining about it isn't gonna do shit. you know how you can stop the racism, ignore it. Don't let it get to you. Mute people, report people if you have to, but letting a single word disrupt your having a good time is silly. But do whatever, I'm just white, i don't know anything.
Most gamers are assholes just deal with it or take up knitting or something.
lol
Seriously, it is only a word and you are letting them win by letting it offend you.
Ignore them.
If someone says it to your face in real life than kick there head in, but online ya just got to ignore it and add them to your ban list.
If you bite/reactr to them than it just makes it worse, have solice in the fact you know they are all retards that will get no where in life.
It sucks, for sure. Xbox Live is a damn sight worse though, be thankful you're playing in the wastelands of PSN.
I kind of second a few points made here though mate - if you don't let it offend you, they can't win :)
I came for the Xbox Live comparisons. I'm not disappointed. I've become so callous to this phenomenon that it no longer bothersome whatsoever. This situation is nightly for me, if not in nine out of ten games every night.
I just recently got into the ps3 and PSN and I have to say: I've had a much nicer time on PSN. Either because there are fewer people with mics, thus the opportunity to be a fucktard is not present or; There are generally a higher ratio of nice people to douchenozzles.
You seem to be the thoughtful type. I find that posturing yourself (logically) above them by demonstrating superior intelligence is much more satisfying. Nothing like putting an ignorant fool in his place, which is swinging from his sister's limb on the family tree.
YOu should stop playing your PS3. That'll teach em a lesson. Or like everyone else said, just mute them and go on your merry way. Can't fight the almighty internet anonymity.
Yeah racism sucks, blah blah, whatever. D:
You know I've never had that problem on Warhawk. While I don't have a mic (waiting for the Sony-branded one) I've only heard one person use excessive swearing. Most of the time people sound very down-to-earth.
Yeah I listen in on people's conversation. So what? You wanna fight about it?? :D
Honestly, I heard it more often on Xbox Live than while online with the PS3. Most of the time, I have to mute somebody who's playing horrible music in the background.
seriously I know what you mean
and heck I curse like a muther truckin sailor maybe 85% of the time even on line I don't know why but I'm trying to cut back on it
but yeah it gets to you at time thats why you have the mute option use it
What the fuck is racism?
