Noobs. Noobs suck. You can't play RC MP because of the n00bs there.

Based on the available voting options, this topic should be more appropriately titled as Most annoying in Online Multiplayer Shooters games, unless by games alone you really mean just that.

Anyway, my answer is frustration, and it doesn't really matter what the cause(s) of it is.

i only hate noobs when they act like pwners: example: i get det rushed and then people say pwned then i use pistol and win and they call me noob :shock: like the whole noob concept is backwards to them...
i call them PWN POSERS :lol: or more known as PPs

off topic: (i only use true stories this actually happened before, just like the time i was booted because i was winning 50-0 in a battle with 2 people vs me alone :D )

@ AQT: i used games just because some of these actually happen to me on RTS games too...

The most annoying thing are stages where there are tons of places to fall to your death. It's such a cheap way to die.

I would have to say noobs cuz they are the most annoying thing in the game besides lag. When I'm playing CTF on Halo Reach I can almost never get a point without me being in a XBL party already because the noobs have like no idea what's going on.

For instance, I was playing CTF on Paradiso the other night and my teammates and I decide to go capture the flag and so we jump in a Warthog (I'm the driver) and get over to the red base and when we get there the guy who's riding shotgun goes AFK and so we're stranded there just shooting until along comes a tank and blows us up. I mean, c'mon if that's not the definition of NOOB teammates then I don't know what is.

Black ops - lag - Host Migration. Had 10 host migrations in one game of domination before it disconnected this morning, so I played Reach instead. Which is very unbuggy.

This too, I sometimes get frustrated in Black Ops (Last Stand, RC cars - (which are used by noobs and only noobs), rubbish hit detection etc..). Reach is more relaxing :)
I can't really say noobs cause I'm not too great myself and end up wondering why no one is playing the objective when I have 0 captures myself.

Lag definitely lag. I get good scores and stuff in sp, but in mp there's a small issue of knowing where the target is... I never do. So all I can do is spray and pray. Pray that the other guy isn't a noob on top of having the advantage of knowing where I really am, not where I was 1 second ago or where I think I am. Most deaths are sniper bolts that come after I'm dead, rockets that totally miss or fire after I fly across the room... Detpacks and mines >:P are bad too. It looks like the enemy battledroid force pushes me to death.

Lags and pwners. Thats why im playing online only with my friends, we are all equal, we dont cheat, and there are no lags at lan-partys :)
Hate standard multiplayer because of all kids without real life who kill you with a single shot ten time in a row and tell you each time what noob you are, I just hate such people.

You can call me noob now, thats what I am after all, but I dont think its such a bad thing :P

Noobs and pwners take all the fun out of everything as far as MP goes, which is why I refuse to do any of it with the exception of TF2; the community seems to be nicer in general. However, games lose their appeal when there is virtually no challenge. The only time I actually had difficulty playing Halo: CE was when the Flood first appeared, and other than that, it was a cake walk. CoD is a bit better than Halo, though there's still times you can run out in the open and not die when there's at least a dozen people shooting at you.

Lag, and n00bs. And noobs encapsulated the people on my team that are horrendous (I used to play badly so I don't really call people out on this, despite how frustrating it can be) or AFK or people on the other team who abuse any sort of advantage. I'm almost fine with camping, because I do it on occasion myself, but people who buy advantages.... what a frustration.

And lag. Just yesterday I played a BFH match and I was doing great, but overtime I'd get into a gunfight with more than one person (the essence of being a gunner) I'd lose control of my character, and the game slowly devolved into me complaining about lag and dying.

i picked lag due to the fact of (new word here i invented it): Laggaporting. it is where u can walk the whole map and teleport back to where u started or can be walking in a field and teleport to a hole in the ground :shock: so i picked lag because sometimes lag is so bad that u can't move at all and host is destroying people and saying he pwns :shock: then random people keep :spam: ing and then it getting annoying after people shout LAG 50 times in a row while i am trying to tell the host how to fix lag (all u must do is turn off other programs and turn graphics to low).

I guaruntee you that if you're trying to tell someone how to "fix" their computer when they haven't asked you to, your efforts are totally in vain.

Honestly, the most annoying thing for me is a lack of dignity and respect among online communities. There are going to be better players. There are going to be worse players. Someone has to be first and someone has to be last. It's how competition works. But when it boils down to name-calling (such as "noob" or "pwner" or names that generally end up meaning much, much worse things), its just immature. Because there's nothing you can do about it. Everyone's anonymous. There are no consequences for immature behaviour (except the occasional server ban, but really how does that affect their behaviour in a different server?).

It frustrates me when I don't win, yes, but I play to have fun, not to call other people out when they best me.

Of this list, it's lag. I enjoy it when my game's not a challenge, because I quite honestly have a challenge enough that it's funny when everyone's dying like no tomorrow and I'm the cause. Only three thing really annoy me, and only one's on that list. They're overpowered weapons, Paradiso, and Lag.

wow lag is winning by far and speaking of it i got a story (STORY TIME KIDS :D )
I was just at a dueling server on SWBF2 everyone was all laggy so people started noobing so basically it turned into a lag coated noobfest where no one can really win so eventually the admin left due to lag (yes it was dedicated that some one made).

noobs or pwners they don't annoy me it is when a noob acts like a pwner and call everyone else a noob that gets old espcailly since there are tons of them on SWBF2 :shock: (think i posted this in an earlyer post in greater detail so look there) i must find some more games hmmm maybe dawn of war...
