Honestly , I never believed it was that bad and that everybody was over-reacting just for the sake of humor , until I learned the hard way . I just got L4D2 and I really got sick of saying " Can you please not yell into the fucking microphone ? Thanks " after saying for the tenth time.

Kids should not be allowed to have microphones.

Never.

Ever.

A simple fix to this is the mute button or party chat. It's not that serious to me because I either mute them or talk to the non-retarded players (i.e. people you know won't mess up) via party chat. Seriously, how hard is it to overlook an easy fix?

Like I said in a previous thread, they are all not like that. The ones that are just stick out more then the ones that don't. I've played with a lot of cool gamers that are younger, don't be such dicks.

Also as someone said, mute.

Do you have L4D2 for xbox or PC?
If PC, add my steam daking326, I'm always looking for cool people to play with. Unless your a griefer, I have my ways of dealing with such people.

Whenever I can't understand what the kid is saying on a mic, I just go, "Hey, stop spitting on your microphone," then I mute them, since it sounds like all they're doing is spitting on their microphone.

Tell them your starting to hack their account.

This is really fun in TF2 as some servers have a mod that allows you to see their backpack, so you can say that your hacking their account and can see all their items.


It is ok to make fun of America. But if you make fun of any other country in a vague or joking way you get banned.

I can't stand people who think their mic has to be pretty much in their mouth for us to hear them. Fucking hell.

I blame the parents for being soft and buying the games in the first place.

Mute their asses and move on. If you think it's bad on L4D2, you obviously haven't played Counter Strike: Source.


It tolls for thee.

If you're playing L4D2 through Steam, there's no mute button except for the voice_enable 0 command which mutes everyone. If it's 360, just mute them.

I agree though I hate mic spammers (ones who play music and ones who never shut up). Pubbing in L4D is really painful sometimes, I recommend you play with at least 1 friend, preferably 2 so you can vote kick people that annoy you.

If you have Steam and you're looking for friends to play with you can add me.

Not to mention they always have shitty mics and don't have any sort of windscreen on them. They also have the mic setting on open mic, so it sounds like a fucking hurricane the whole time.

I thought I had to have mine pretty close or else no one could hear me. Mind you I only talk to people over Party Chat and can hardly hear me.

You actually have to deep-throat your mic for anyone to hear well.

People just need to learn how to use their microphones well, even with a sqweaky voice if they just speak when needed and aren't to close to the mic then its fine. Anyone who speaks for longer than is needed whether their voice is good or not is doing it wrong.

I really dont have a problem with kids on the mic. Unless there complaining that there getting killed or trying to cuss you out in an argument. If they are just trying to have a conversation, than im fine with it.

Sometimes, this is more fun than the actual game. The hours you can spend trolling these kids is just the most fun you could have in such a short amount of time.

While playing TF2 on a usual server there's a 10 year old boy named johnnyrox who frequently visits the server.

As soon as he speaks, everyone on the server yells into their mic: 'SHUT UP, WESTLEY!'.


We had some good times, Newgrounds.
