Both Hobo and myself have put a LOT of time into COD4, and throughout our joint ventures we have uncovered a variety of personalities within the game. Listed below are all the examples that we could think of taking into account our laziness in these matters.
The "Camper": For some patience is a virtue, for for campers, however, it is a way of life. Perfectly content to wait in the shadows for someone, proud to end the game with two kills as long as he/she avoided dying. Even more miraculous is their amazing ability to strike at the exact moment you're one kill away from breaking your record for a streak. Many have fallen at the hands of campers, and for as long as there are people who seem to think that moving is some kind of sin, they will continue to do so.
The "Trash-talker": Take one part immaturity, one part lack-of-skill, add in the unrestricted use of the microphone, and this is what you get. No matter how bad you wipe the floor with these guys, they will NEVER shut up. And don't think about insulting them back, because it will be sent back your way with a "your mom" postmark. Thank god they added the quick-mute feature.
The "Kid": No one know how, nor why an eight-year old got a copy of COD4, but what we do know is that their high-pitched voices have split the ears of most at least once or twice. Even more troubling is their tendency to beat your ass harder than a nun with a paddle. Piled on top on that in a natural inclination towards mic spamming. Avoid.
The "Spammer": Scum of the earth, they take pleasure in the pain of others. Mute, quickly.
The "Moron" A large portion of the Xbox live community, and often most of the members on my team, these are the people who seem to lack all sense of strategy and, in the worst cases, coherent thought. They make you wish that they put an I.Q. test in part of the Xbox live registration precess. These are the people who:
Camp near the ticking bomb for 30 seconds, just to charge with enough time left to get blown all to hell
Stand outside the headquarters, staring at the building, doing nothing as it gets captured
Are racist
Blind throw grenades and kill their own team mates
Are snipers who take the bomb
Are below 11 years old
Play the game as if it were halo and then complain when they die
etc.
The "Team Killer": The most difficult to creature in the history of time to understand, they join a game, play three second before killing their team mates, and then wait for 2-3 minutes for the round to end. Why? What is your motivation? What kind of sick bastard is willing to waste their time waiting out just to ruin the game for others? These people are the reason that there is suffering in the world.
The "Lucky Bastard": The destroyers of Search and Destroy (no pun intended), these guys throw random grenades or grenade launchers into or near your spawn and kill you every damn round, to the point where you would be happy if they took grenades out completely. I think that if we all agreed to stop with the random grenades, the game would be better for it.
The "Decent People": About 5-10% of the players out there, many of whom originate from this site, these guys are fun to play with, polite and good sports. I commend you all.
The "No Life": These are the people who spend so much time playing the game that they own everyone. Examples include being a level 10 prestige three weeks after launch or having upwards of 20 days on the game so far. They could be kind, decent people, but it's hard not to resent them for joining your game and killing you every round.
The "Ditcher": This is the type of person often found in Search and Destroy who feels the need to pick a class so that he doesn't get player kicked yet doesn't feel that he should actually participate in the match. Many wonder what they're doing, but this is soon overtaken by the frustration felt when these people a put in the same game as "morons." This is because doing so results in the ditcher sitting at the spawn while the morons look for him, even if it has already been previously established that he was at the spawn. This leads to minutes of down time as morons search their own ass for the ditcher and the ditcher goes about his ditcher business doing whatever it is ditchers do.
We might add more if I think of them.
