Ten golden rules of online gaming

by Jim Sterling on 01.13.2008 180 comments


Ten golden rules of online gaming video game

People have been hunched over their PCs, firing rockets into the faces of their friends since Doom. The ability to play a game against real human opponents via a network changed the face of the industry and helped shape the scene we are now a part of. Over the years, we have seen the world's largest network, the Internet, expand to phenomenal heights and with it, gaming too has grown in ways that were once never thought possible.

Gaming over the Internet is now a major part of the hobby we all hold dear, and as titles like Halo rose to bring more and more mainstream attention to multinational fragests, we have seen online gaming become one of the most integral facets of the industry. With mainstream attention, it has also brought with an influx of new, fresh-faced gamers who have logged on with wanton abandon, unwitting of the rules that we have held dear as digital war veterans for millenias untold. At least outside of the PC universe, online gaming is full of people who perhaps do not understand the ettiquete and courtesy that comes with the territory. 

For these people, Destructoid has the answer. If your copy of Halo just hit your mailbox, or even more urgently, if you started playing online years ago and have never even been through basic training, this is the guide for you. Hit the jump to finally learn how to be an online gamer with these crucial rules. A doorway into a world of elite playing pleasure is yours for the opening.

1: Online gaming is serious business:

So, you finally got your game hooked up and are ready to play. Now, you may be forgiven for thinking that online gaming is about having fun. You are very wrong and you will learn this in due time. Because we gamers are too physically weak to pick random fights in bars, we must assert our alpha male dominance another way -- by twiddling our fingers around on buttons until virtual representations of people we don't know simulate death. 

This is your life now, and you are connected, physically and emotionally, to your in-game avatar. When they frag you, do you not bleed? Well, no you don't but that's not the point. You will mourn him for every second of that respawn countdown. His digital death just killed a little piece of you, and you will avenge with the fury of a thousand angry Gods. 

In team games, if you are losing, remember to berate your teammates and tell them how much they suck. You won't be making a fool out of yourself for ordering them around and reminding them that your side is losing and nobody's helping you win. Also, you must use words like "alpha," all the time, just like you're a real army man!

2: Noobs are scum:

People who are new to a particular game are terrible vermin who you should not fraternise with. These subhumans are known as noobs and they are the pariahs of online gaming. You, however, were never a noob. You were playing games online before the Internet was even invented. In fact, you're so awesome that you were playing Dizzy the Egg team deatchmatches on your Commodore 64.

Make sure to check out the stats of anybody in a game with you. If they have not been playing for long, then you must hurl insults at them because they are lesser human beings. Laugh cruelly if noobs are your opponents, and grimace loudly if they are on your team. 

Also, the term noob has such power that if you dislike someone's actions in a game, you can say it to them as well. Obviously, displeasing you is deadly enough to make them forget all their prior gaming experience and they actually revert back into children. 

3: If a feature in a game is popular/effective, it is cheap:

Be it the chainsaw in Gears of War, or snipers in any FPS ever made, there are a number of cool features and tactics in games that people not only find enjoyable to use, but are often highly effective methods of securing victory -- never use them. If you do so, you are cheap and will become a noob. You are a hardcore gamer now, which means you only use shotguns or anything else that's really boring. You hate all that is popular, and if you see anybody utilising the best/more useful features of a game, you are to get rid of them immediately.  

If these pukes were good at the game like you, they wouldn't need to rely on such cheap tactics, would they? They'd be like you, running around with the shotgun, not having fun and despising everything everyone else is doing. The fact that they have killed you so many times is proof of how bad they are at playing.

4: If anything kills you at all, it is cheap:

Like the above rule, but applied to every potential threat in a game. If someone shoots you to death using nothing but a pistol and with his eyes closed, he is being cheap. Cheap is one of the most brutal insults after noob, and anybody who hears it will feel worse about the fact they are winning ten to zero. It's a hollow victory, because they are so cheap.

5: If you are losing, it is because of lag:

Following on from the cheapness laws, you will soon get to learn that nothing is ever your fault when it comes to gaming. Lag is a process whereby everyone in the game becomes better than you thanks to the Internet helping them become cheap. The Internet does this a lot, but never affects the enemies you kill yourself, because you have skills.

Nearly every death you ever suffer in a game will be due to lag of some kind. The Internet hates you that much, even though you are so good.

6: If you are losing badly, it is because they are hacking:

Losing a little is one thing, that's just lag conspiring to keep your ownage levels down, but lag can only help the noobs cheaply beat you so much. If you are losing to such a point where not even your lag-pwning skill seems to be making a difference, well there's only one solution, and it's not that they are better than you -- it's that they are hacking.

People who appear to be doing a lot of killing and not much of being killed are hackers, plain and simple. There is no way they're that good without cheating. Re-assure your team (after calling them worthless) that the enemy is clearly powered by nefarious undertakings and you are being penalized for your wholesome and pure ways. Then remember to say alpha.

7: Everyone is gay:

Before the Internet was invented, gay people were those in society who were attracted physically and emotionally to members of the same gender. Since the Internet, everyone and everything is gay. From the gun they use to kill you, to the voice they use to communicate with you, it is all gay, gay, gay. Lag is gay, snipers are gay, noobs are gay, people from other countries are gay, the countries they come from are gay, the ocean the country is surrounded by is gay, the fish in the ocean are gay, all sealife is gay, life is gay, gays are gay, gay gay gay. Gay.

Using the same one-syllable word to describe everything you don't like might not be an indicator of a varied vocabulary, but who cares? Words are gay.

8: Singing is awesome:

Communicating via a headset is great because it lets gamers sing, and that is one of the only reasons we buy headsets. In fact, some people are known to log into servers just to hear poor quality, nasal renditions of the latest "phat tracks." One of the most original and beloved songs to sing is anything done by Rick Astley.

Try to sing as loudly and obnoxiously as you can into your headset before, during and after a game, only stopping when you need to step away from the mic to breathe. Everybody will be impressed and will want to play with you again. In fact, you're so great at singing that the only reason you're not on Broadway right now is that showbusiness is full of lag.

If you lack the raw sexual magnetisim and confidence that is required to sing during a game, you can always hold the microphone up to some speakers and play your favorite tunes for everybody. Your fellow gamers really care what your musical interests are and will applaud your tasteful selection of tracks.  

9: Calling people naggers is both original and hilarious:

Racism online is bad, which is a shame because deep down everybody knows it's actually awesome. There is, however, a really witty workaround that allows you to say racist words while not actually saying them. Remember that episode of South Park where Randy believed that the missing letter in "n - ggers" was an I? Then he said the full word and everyone was shocked because it was actually naggers and not that word? Well, here's a pro tip -- nobody has EVER thought of calling people naggers online. You are going to be so edgy if you capitalize on this opportunity.

Do it all the time and your popularity will skyrocket.

10: Team members who score are kill stealers:

Kill stealing is one of the most abhorrent and despicable crimes ever committed, and is even listed in some modern Bibles as the eighth deadly sin. Every opponent is a victim waiting to die by your hand alone, and if anybody dares shoot them before you, they are a kill stealer. Only you may have the glory of the kill, and woe betide anybody caught shooting at the same target as you. If they get the win, they clearly stole your kill.

Even if you and a team member are on opposite sides of the game map, they kill stole. Obviously they did. Probably thanks to a hack.

Just remember, of course, that you are not a kill stealer. You are merely an opportunist. Besides which, since all the enemies are your personal fodder anyway, you're taking nothing away from the meat puppets who are only there to be noobs and bring down your score by sucking.

These are the ten golden rules of online gaming. There are of course plenty of other important laws, but this should be everything you need to get started off on the right footing. First impressions are crucial, and with these ten rules in mind, you will always impress. 

Good luck pwning, my fellow online warriors. May noobs fall at your feet and your sword cut through the mists of lag forevermore.

Stupid naggers and their nagging.

Anyway, I don't take online gaming seriously. I guess that's why I suck probably around 20% of the time when I play games online. Except for TF 2, EVERYONE IS A DAMN HACKER WTF.

Great article, but you can still have fun if you're not an antisocial piece of scum. I am pretty much the exact opposite of all these characteristics and yet I still enjoy it immensely.

And not all online gamers are like this. The Orange Box on X360 has the most 'normal' community of online players I've ever seen. You've been playing a lot of Halo lately I bet, in which case, I'm sorry.

Obviously sarcastic, but #1 isn't terrible in certain situations. In team games where nobody on your team has any sense of direction, sometimes a confident player giving orders can pull them out of a stalemate and into victory. Calling yourself the alpha male and everybody else idiots is pretty lame though.

It would be nice to see an ACTUAL gaming netiquette article though.

TFC is cool, but TF2(on the PC) is my favorite multiplayer game. UT3 is probably the best UT, but I'd choose Halo 3, CoD4, Half-Life 1 & 2, Counter Strike: Source, Gears of War, and a few others before it. And from the looks of it, Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 as well.

@Foxhound: Same thing here. Bought UT3, and have enjoyed every bit of it, but until Epic fix a few things, get on the hype wagon or my clan becomes active again, I'm going to try out some other games like TF2.
HOWEVER, I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND UT3. Seriously. Like, best arena FPS I've played so far.

Rule #3 especially made me happy. My younger brother and I constantly argue about sniping in Halo, he hates it, but I think it's a good tactic. Too bad this isn't going to change his mind a bit though.

No you're not wrong in assuming that TF2 is worse than UT3. You made the right decision. TF2 is full of unskilled players, Or *cough* Haxors & Glitchers.

Ut3 is all ways the bread & butter of MP. Kill be killed. Or Take the flag from one end to the other. Killing all the way!

You can play UT3 Buzzed / Drunk & still have a good time. TF2 doesn't have the solid foundation UT3 was built on. IMO!

Nice. What they don't know is that we gays actually program all these games to be gay, including making sure that the weapons are gay, like the "mauler" (gay), "pistol" (gay), "stinger" (gay), "BFG" (big fucking gay), the "flame thrower" (gay), and, of course, the "man cannon" (rainbow power!).

It's all part of a subtle gay agenda. I have it here on my desk. It is pink.

Jim,

Funny, yes. Very much so.

But you really shouldn't let an opportunity like this pass you by. You need to post the REAL rules of online gaming!

Noobs: I don't care what you say, Noobs are alright. Hell, I've been playing video games since just before there was a Pong home console, yet I still suck most nights when I'm online.

Hackers: The #1 reason why I suck online (a close second is not playing often enough). Temptation gets the better of us sometimes, so it's a necessary evil. But you are right that too many abuse it. All online enabled games should identify anyone using hack codes while playing online. Occasionally, it's ok to play against them if you hold your own, but how often does that happen?

Racist: An unfortunate reality no matter what country you call home. What's more unfortunate is that no one has developed a proper hack to identify them that would allow us to drive or fly to their home as a group, and beat the living shit out of them gangland style or preferably, coax them into doing something more productive with their lives instead.

...Nah, on second thought, we would all feel better once we beat the fuck out of them. Go Hackers!

I lol'd.

The other day I was playing CoD4, my online shooter of choice right now, and I was playing with some kids who had probably just gotten the game for Christmas. The first clue was their levels and the second clue(s) was all the questions they would ask like, "What do I get after 10 kills?" and "Have you guys ever played this map?" Now, they were in a public match playing with all sorts of people. So I, being one of their fellow teammates, made the grave mistake of answering some of their questions for them and IMMEDIATELY got berated and called a fagot who gets no pussy and must sit at home and play the game all day. Clearly. 'Cause I knew that you don't get a tactical reward after 10 kills. Clearly I was gay... or I read the manual to the damn game.

Of course when I tried to offer the suggestion I was merely trying to answer the question (since his friends didn't know) I was called a bigger fagot. Never again will I talk to strangers over Live. Ever.

It didn't help I scored 87 kills the next round (FTR I was using a shotgun). But still. It was their noob fault they sucked.

Those were some good rules. I think you covered just about all of them. By the way, I love UT. I bought UT3 for PS3 and although I was a little disappointed, it'll get better because of mods and what not. UT is to FPS what Mario is to platforming games, in my opinion. Although, COD4 is kicking so much ass right now. I love this game.

Unfortunately, I've had true to life experiences with the lag. It's one thing when the 14 year old is complaining of lag, it's another entirely when you're actually jumping all over the place and your latency is over 190 because you have to live at college for 4 years.

Then you become nocturnal because you can only play at night, when the lag clowns can't come to steal your pudding.

Thinking back to 2001 and my very first "real" team with voicecomms and all that, we had a laggy Croatian who sang to us over RogerWilco and indeed, was busted for cheating (stole many of my kills, man...). I don't know of his sexual preference but I think we can all agree it's fairly obvious.
