I've gamed online for a long time, probably since 2002 or 3 or so. I don't remember. I know the first game I played online was Star Craft. But I really remember my time with Call of Duty 4, gaming with my friends on the 360. And I remember the game lobbies back then being a mess of idiots, screaming children, racists, and just outright annoying douche bags. But, it was the appeal in a way, you can argue with a bunch of assholes. It was kind of fun at times, but some gamers can be a bit annoying.
Anyway, what was your first online gaming beef? Maybe you got into it with another gamer and argued over voice, or someone was cheating or utilizing hacks in turn resulting in arguing.
I remember one time playing COD 4, I was just playing alone, but the match I was in was weird. This one guy kept changing teams whenever one would start to lose. I called the guy out for it, but he didn't care, kept doing it until he was on the winning team. I ended up blocking the guy, because I didn't want to get stuck in another game like that. Surprisingly that's the only time I witnessed that in an online game. Usually you can't change teams midmatch in COD, so it was always weird to me how he was able to do it.
Have any stories to share?
