I used to play a few games at a good level, and went to Quakecon a good few years back to represent the UK. Those were the days.
I am now 40, and to prevent me from spending my life in the pub, and to keep the Mrs happy, I have started playing again. Alliance of Valiant Arms, BF3, and COD.
WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!
Main problems:
- Skilless people
- Text spammers
- High pingers
- Boring teamplay
- Tacticless gaming
There will be many that deny this, but they are wrong wrong wrong.
The level of play has declined 100000 fold in 15 years, and the amount of snotty nosed little teenagers that are out to spoil it for everyone else makes my blood boil.
Why the game makers cannot put an age limit on the server settings is beyond me.
I'm glad i had the best years of online gaming fps, so the kids can now keep it.
