Argh! The damn posers!

[TekDragon]

Ok.. im getting sick of the ass-hats and posers on CnC Generals. For some unknown reason, EA decided to make it so your stats are recorded.

So now, whenever I get into a game on quickmatch, the person i'm matching can see my score (400 some wins to 50 some losses). 25% of the time, the person is cool and just wants a good game.

But the other 75% of the time it's some *insert worst possible profanity series here* poser who wants to get himself a awesome looking score. How? Not by skill. Not by winning legit. But by quitting games with good players and only playing newbs.

Theres nothing I can do about this.. i just want to bitch, and bring to light the fact that a great many gamers are SERIOUSLY pathetic.

I think I speak for all rational gamers when i say: NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR F***CKING SCORES! PLAY THE GAME TO HAVE FUN! IF THAT MEANS HAVING ME RAPE YOU IN THE ASS - THEN BY GOD SO BE IT. TAKE IT WITH A GRIN!

*pant pant*

Ok, im done.

/rant off

I've managed to avoid the situations by creating over a dozen accounts. Titles "imaNewbie##" with ## being a number starting at 12. Once i get up to 10 wins to 0 losses and ppl start quitting, i switch to a new account.

Still, it's a pain in the ass.

just lose on purpose then. i mean no point in making new accounts.

Practice with a noob gun maybe?

ummm lol?

But yea i see that problem in lots of games. Mostly the RTSes that have the same kind of W/L score or something. Like Starcraft.

Problem is, it takes time. Stats aren't recorded until 2 minutes have passed in-game.

I'd have to lose about 300 times in a row just to get the posers to think they have a chance and play w me. That's 600 minutes. Plus load times, another 300 minutes.

Screw that.

generals is a RTS there hoss... not FPS...

its almost impossible to find a decent game there. all anyone ever plays is that one lame ass map. god forbid you actually find decent people to play with. thats why I limit my generals time to just playing with my buds...

posers are in every online game. it just shows more in games that require more strategy.

True, but it shows more in games that keep track of your stats with an account, like in most strategy games (SC, WC3). That's one of the reasons they blow, sadly. They aren't exactly posers, they just care too much about stats, which is real stupid.

CnC Generals, been meaning to get it from a friend. Awesome game.

I would never have fun in games if I always won.

C&C Generals online acts like a nazi to me. it always screws up when I try to connect, and when I do connect either A) the chat rooms are different from my friends or B) the chat rooms are different, won't let him join my game, won't let me join his game, and won't even let me see he's online. I have not played Generals online much so I wouldn't know.

although I do play other RTS. like Starcraft and the other C&C series. I hate people who do that. thats probabley why I started playing Planetside

Is there now some kind of penalty for leaving a game before it ends?

[Everay]

mabey they just want to play with people of a equal skill level, i do, but i always play against those better than me, i expect to lose, but i do my best to win.

but really, what i find the best way to win in that game, is to play with buddies, against other people, and, to use a voice chat.

Hmm. A lot of people acuse other people of being qoute "Stat whores" unqoute. I know this because everytime i get on BFV and have and exceptionally good game on it and it follows through for awhile (I finish in the top 3 almost no matter what, just sometimes i get first by 50 kills) and i do my job, cap, kill, fly, drive, hide, support. And if im supporting my team with a chopper some asshole will always have to blow me outta the sky and tk me cause he thinks im a "Stat whore". I dont play CnC but maybe you cant always tell if they are a total n00b or what.

Do this:

Play a match

if you lose, you lose

if you win, quit/forfeit right before the end of the round, so the person you're playing knows they lost, but your record suffers

thus people will have no idea what they're up against.
