Okay. This article really does, in my opinion, hit the nail on the head.

    Yeah, that's a good article, with some good things in it. Pretty much everyone who wants to game online should have to read a guide like this.

      Absolutely.

      Though, they should not only read it, they should absorb it too.

      Heh, I rarely use my mic on XBL, which has lead to more than one person thinking I'm a girl. Just because I'm not spending hours looking at a guy playing R6.

          I went down the white/ACU camo route. I don't bother with armour, though, because it doesn't seem to make any difference.

            Yeah. I don't play online much, just with my room mate. usually doing the missions. It's quite fun running around with a orange helmet.

    Especially about the "n00b" part. I know I've been guilty of that in the past. Everyone could use a reminder that we all started somewhere.

      Well, there are two kinds of newbies. The ones that suck, admit it, and try to be better, they're the good kind. Then there's the ones that suck, and think they're the best thing to be gifted to the world since sliced bread. They need slapping.

        This is true. Usually if you keep killing (depending on the game) they'll either leave, or host will kick you, out of frustration. These usually get what's coming to them anyhow.

        I'm surprised you haven't done a project logged there. Do you post on the forums?

          Very, very occasionally.

          I love the content of the site, and I love a number of the project logs, but I've never found myself posting there.

          Something like 70-odd posts in the space of about three years.

      Well, obviously not all devs sell direct, but there are a number that do (Valve, Introversion Software), it's more the indie developers than the massive corps like EA.

      Just requires a bit more looking :p

    Remembers What Arcades Are

    I agree, and I already do most of those, but I'd like to point out something... "n00b" usually refers to someone who is annoying and doesn't even listen to constructive criticism, a "newbie" will listen, and is generally less annoying. Having different names already out there which are, in most cases, ignored, is strange, but just denouncing someone for being a n00b anyway is just sad...
