    French Gamers.....arghhhh!!!!!

    Anyone else noticed that French gamers are just horrifically poor at online gaming?

    I had the misfortune earlier of being on a Left For Dead 2 server with three of them, and they are just USELESS!

    The spout on in French rather than play, have no idea what is going on, and hide at every opportunity.

    In fact, i am certain that they are practicing to go in the French armed forces as the attitude is the same.

    Rant Over.......

    They are!

    Got a few swedish friends on steam now from playing various games with them, all of them (youngest is 18) speak and write english to a very good standard as well.

    I've had some good games with Poles and Russians... When I used to play freelancer in a clan we were at war with a french clan and half of them got banned for cheating using trainers etc. Some got banned for their use of language as well.

    Played some killing floor with some french kids once on the sean of the dead map, the cheese eating surrender monkies sealed themselves in the pub and locked me out. So I killed all of the monsters myself, they died and then had the cheek to ask me for cash.

    Saying this I am sure there are some perfectly good french gamers out there

    Re: French Gamers.....arghhhh!!!!!

    All the countries where english is well taught are usually decent, eg most of Scandinavia, some parts of germany, romania, etc the more insular cultures ( france, spain, italy ) are terrible players.

    Not sure what they put in the water in those countries but it isn't good

    used to love finding a French room on Forza2 - invariably lead to easy wins and lots of muttering and the chance for me to shout "Sacrebleu!" a lot

    Re: French Gamers.....arghhhh!!!!!

    I've always liked to play on the French servers. They tend to be more relaxed, there's fewer cries of "Hax0r", and a lot switch to English chat purely to accomodate me as the Anglophone.

    I have also picked up some useful phrases such as, "Je suis lagging comme un porc!" and "Merde!".
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    All you need to know is DSL (sry/sorry) and MDR (the overused three letter acronym I despise and refuse to type - it's meant to mean laughing out loud but tends to get used for all sorts of things, mainly, "I'm too stupid to think of a conjunctive word")

    Everything else, just shout loudly in English, they'll understand and respect you even more!
