I’m with you Laura.
Nothing gets me more narked than some git thinking he’s General Custer. It has to said that at times I do get a bit excited and too involved in the game and as a result a bit shouty. But at these times I try to remember the immortal words of Bart Simpson “Be of the game, not in the game.”

I’ve not really experienced this in open UK game rooms, mainly because I mostly play in private lobby’s, but I have with the Americans or mixed public rooms. Yes, I suppose there is always a need for team-play so everyone sings from the same song sheet, but unless you’re all familiar with each other and everyone feels comfortable playing that way, it’s no fun being ‘given’ orders. Generally in the MP games I take part in, we all agree on an objective for the round and work towards achieving it. Not so fond of playing with Lone Wolves though, and backing each other up is always a good way to play.

I regularly played Gears of War with some friends ages ago and, though we weren’t uber-serious, we would call out enemy locations and weapons. I suppose some might see that as telling people what to do in a roundabout way

I do remember trying to tell folks what not to do in a GRAW2 game, mostly because doing it would mean an enemy helicopter showed up and probably kill us all… plus I’m a bit touchy about my accent the odd time. Got enough grief over it anyway… “Yes that’s right, I’m a mick and you, well you’re a bit dead aren’t ya?” Possibly also adding “SPAAAAAAAAAAN-AH!” or something.

I was in a clan sometime ago and one of the guys was telling me what guns to use and stuff, It wasn’t long before I left. I also love whipping some American teens up and down the place and then pretending to be gay in the after match lobby, ” not only did I beat you but I’m gay as well!” They really can’t handle that one.
