I was totally ***ed to Quake 2 and there were nothing but shit "typing"
***s then, 6+ years ago.
I agree 110%, the mic SUCKS especially with kids.
For me online *** is perfect because I "mostly" play with real life
friends.
I rarely play with people I don't know but I have added roughly 12 people I
have met on Live.
With the PS2, I only play with people I know in life.
Shit talkers and cheaters do ruin online ***.
For me, and most people I know, *** is an escape from everyday
life/reality and the last thing we want to deal with is some punkass
***ager that curses every other word or is using some sort of
cheat/hack/bug or glitch to have an unfair advantage against you..
