In my opinion there are three differetn types of gamers. They ech play there games for different resons and all play differently.

1. Mr competitive sports fan.

They tend to play sports games. There are idea of full gaming is to beat someone at agame they practise on all the time and say there the best.

These people don't believe in team effort if they score the winning goal then any one else on there team doesn't count, they are the best.

They take pride in mocking people in the middle of game, we all do this mainly just for alaugh and at the end of the day we no it's harmless fun and no one cares. but they find it fun to mock you so you make more mistakes than ever.

When yuo replied the insult though they maike up useless excuses like "i wasn't watching" or "i let them win"

These people are also cocky if there team win without then doing thje slightest bit of work to help them win they brag about for days on end.

2. The gentleman.

This bloke is the opposite to the competive bloke. If he know how to play this game and his friend doesn't then he will let them practise to let them get used to the controls etc. They play all sorts of games.

He trys he best to contribute to the team effort, afterwards it is always a team effort. Even if he shot the most people or scored the most goals.

These sort of players tend to be master that there specialist areas. They have earn't the respect of there fellows gamers though fair play and sports man ship.

3. The cheat and the moaner.

These people send hour studying guides and maps of there selected games and find out every different short cut, cheat, glitch that will help them win.

The other side of them is of course the moaner they will moan when they don't win, they kick and shout saying that it was the computers fault and go of in a huff. I never play these people twice.

Thank you for reading my post.

I hate Cheaters and Moaners!! And I also hate those Competitive Sports Fans - from the way you've described them.

I think i'm more of a 'Gentleman' with games.
I do let people practice and tell them how to control things before we play a multiplayer game.

But when I beat them, especially when they're cocky, I did rub it in their faces a bit!
I did it to someone who thought he was the world's best Perfect Dark player. He was there shooting at me and missing with a magnum, and I, un-armed, just simply punched him out! He couldn't take it!! :P

I must admit that after several pints I turn into Mr Competitive Sports Fan. My favourite trick is to play ISS or Pro Evo, and constantly attempt to run the length of the field with my keeper (bonus points for heel-flicks) before rocketing a shot into the top corner. This also has the advantage of working as a handicap system and every game finishes 6-5, or something equally unlikely.
