Jiminy Cricket! Never before have I had so much trouble online!
After completing Vice City, I decided to have a few games of C&C Generals online. And everything that was wrong with it since I last played has got worse.
Elitism is at it's highest on this game.
"u a n00b!!1 u no play!!!11"
Anybody without a 10-5 ratio score gets kicked straight away, unless they can convince everybody they're on a new account. The amount of times I've been kicked from a game before it has started is rediculous, just because I'm not so sad to have played over two HUNDRED games. Seriously, one game lasts an average of 2 hours... Just think how SAD these people are to have won 200 games, nevermind all the ones they've lost as well. That's weeks worth of gaming time, and the game isn't even that old! Sad, spotty, virgins come to mind.
Anyway, those who have played it will have noticed many games ask for people not to rush, and to not use superweapons (each army gets one superweapon, for example a nuke) or to only use it once. And it is my discovery that everybody who has a good score has it because they break these rules. I've played about 5 games over the past two days (compared to the dozens these sad people play) and I've managed to lose every single one! Why? Because I get rushed by a group of rocket soldiers before I've even finished building my barracks. Or they each have at least three superweapons each, meaning your base is constantly getting hammered by 9 superweapons every four minutes! You can't build one yourself because it'll get destroyed as soon as you start it. No amount of requests for them to stop cheating will get them to play fairly. And you know the worst thing? It's usually THEM who ask for no rush and no superweapons!
"No SWs! No rush!"
"So why are you rushing me, and why do you have two nuclear silos?"
*silence*
Everybody is at it, but I seem to be unlucky enough to ALWAYS be on the opposing team of the cheaters. They whinge for everybody to agree to no rushing and no superweapons, then the first thing they do is run into your base. Everybody says "No rush" and they don't answer. Like in Counter Strike with campers, I refuse to lower myself to their standards. Just like I won't camp, I won't build superweapons when people agreed we shouldn't, and I won't send my migs in five minutes into the game to wipe out their bases. I'm all for rushing, I think it's a good (but highly annoying) tactic. But only when that's what people want to do. If everyone specifically asks for no rushing, then people do it anyway, that just sucks.
C&C Generals NEEDS sorting out. Everytime I lose it's because of people exploiting my good nature in that I don't rush their bases, and everytime I'm winning, there just happens to be a mismatch. So I get a disconnect added to my stats instead of a victory. I'm just so SICK of these American nerds. I know fine well I could knock them out, and it's really frustrating having to put up with their abuse just because they're on the other side of the world, hiding in their parent's basement.
OK, rant over. I'm sick of playing nerdy Americans, we should arrange a game with other SR people, at least then people wouldn't cheat.

Was playing vietcong earlier and joined a server for a deathmatch game, a few guys were in the same clan and just went around in a group trying to kill everyone and not shoot each other.
A bit of verbal abuse about how it was obvious they were pants on their own and one guy carried the rest caused a few to get upset and constantly go after the other.
I believe that watching mong faced kids loose it on the net is one of the best things on-line gaming offers.
I always get the usual "n00b" etc when a well placed grenade or trap causes someone to be killed.
I killed a good few folk with the knife today, I believe that seems to anger these folk as well.

hey mojojojojo, will generals work on a 700MHz with a Geforce 4 440MX, do you think? or will it be slowdown city?
If you ever want a game I would be happy to team up. I get sick of everyone running off and getting killed. Its much better to stick together. Anyway, just give me a shout if you want to have a game :)
Yeah. I'm looking forward to my mate getting broadband, he's always been better than me at C&C and Redalert (back when we used to play on a network) and I'm just HOPING that I'll be better than him at Generals. At least I'll be playing someone who won't cheat.
And, yeah, I have broadband. Don't play CS that much though, just dip in and out every so often.

unfortunately i don't have generals, as my pc is too poor to play it, but I've had the same problem when playing red alert 2. some people spend their entire lives playing these games.
no matter what game it is, and how good you think you are, there are always 6 billion gimps better

Heh!
Know exactly what you mean about Counter Strike! Awpers and Campers that specifically tell people not to camp and Awp are the ones which do it more than anyone else. If you wanna team up sometime on Counter Strike it could be good?! Do you have Broadband?

I'm sad enough to play games online, but I'm not sad enough to CHEAT to win an online game. No money... no prizes... no respect. What reason do they actually have to resort to cheating on an ONLINE game?! Not like it'll attract the women... Damn spotty virgins.

Your opening statement seems to suggest otherwise.
