So I decided to jump in and have a BTB game before going out… Loads up Ragnarok and I go to start the game and am pulled up short by what I am seeing my team doing.
One is standing on top of the Hog hammering away with it with his rifle butt.
Several are trying to see how many they can on each others heads.
I think maybe 2 or 3 out of the entire team were actually trying to kill the enemy. The rest were just messing around.
I tried to save the Hog by driving it off but another guy started doing the same thing and jumped in the back without mounting the gun and was doing some weird hop, hit, hop, hit thing. I was busy watching him only to have the enemy Banshee run into the side of the Hog and exploded, taking both of us to Halo Heaven.
I just turned my 360 off in disgust. Best to leave it until after 9pm when the kiddiewinks are in bed.
Yep, I reckon some kids have a strange idea of fun - still, better them hammering the -Yoink- out of a Hog on Halo than hammering the -Yoink- out of my jeep outside the house.
Another thing - and it’s taken a while - but I saw my first power weapon betrayal yesterday.
One guy drives a Mongoose full tilt into a team mate who dies, then the driver backs up and lifts the sniper rifle.
I thought we’d left all that -Yoink- back on Reach.
I’ve never really understood why so many people call other players “kids”.
Most of the people who I meet and play with, even ones who do stupid crap like the OP described, are well into their mid to late 20s with some even being in their 30s.

Valid point; however, a more appropriate statement for the OP to make might have been that these 20 year olds are playing the game like they did when they were kids 10 years ago lol.

Reminds me of baseball in how some kids will be staring at the grass or sky while the games is going on. It’s pretty pathetic that kids nowadays can’t even concentrate on a video game.

Most of the players are adults since it is a game design for mature gamers. Although the worst of the worst are usually little kids.
