I'd be happy just to get a few people together for some objective based games as the randoms i get stuck with don't know how to capture or defend a flag.

Alrik's swearing putting people off
You know I don't think I have heard Alrik speak, only time I hear him is when he rages and I hear from someone elses mic haha.
To be honest it does seem that there isnt anyone one mw3 these days, hopefully come blops2 they all come back.
I'll be playing this for sure.
Although technically i'm not "the old bunch" as i've only played a few games of MW3 with you. And that had me raging too much to enjoy it.

I'll be up for a ****ton of blops 2 with you guys when it comes out 
From the videos I've watched Black Ops 2 looks so much better then Black Ops and it also craps all over the monstrosity that is MW3, but I'm still not seeing enough to make me want to go out a buy it. To be honest it's not the game that is putting me off, it's the CoD 'community' in general.
It's because MW3 (and CoD in general) is a bag of **** I'd rather play a game where I'm losing because the players are better then me and not because there's some retarded **** on my team going 0-17 with his split screening friend for a combined 34 deaths and no kills. The series is crap and the online community is even worse and I never thought I'd see the day when I would find a worse online community then Halo 2 & 3
I had a couple of games with Kreeeee at the weekend and the first game I played I just wanted to eject the disc and do something else, the thoughts going through my head were "why the **** am I playing this?". I just sat there watching my "team" run down the middle of Mission over and over again with nothing to show for it except deaths.
There's a mute feature in the game, they are free to use it
I say to everyone that I play with for the first time that if my complaining gets on your nerves just mute me, but they never do and then they cry about my complaining instead.
Your headset has an echo to it and I got sick of listening to my own voice so you got muted It was easier to just mute you instead of moaning about your headset every time we played, all you missed was me shouting so I did you a favour 
That's why I haven't seen him online for ages.

That's why Multi-Team Team Deathmatch sounds quite good.
If there's only a few of you you can just use a smaller team.
Although I do agree that the COD community is full of bell ends.
Ah I didn't know that, it got mentioned a couple times usually its just a case of having the game up loud enough to hear quiet footsteps, chat volume needed to be high and if it was too high people heard an echo. If it was more than that I am at a loss, might pick up another one for blops2 as the false economy of buying a cheap one is coming through. You were loud enough when coming through someone elses mic so I am glad
It wouldn't solve anything other then putting them on a different team, they would still be in the same lobby running at the same guys giving them free kills. Halo 2 & 3 have had multi team for a long time and the maps were bigger, better designed and those games have a much better spawn system, but even they were pushed to their limits with spawning, CoD can't even get spawns right with just two teams never mind more.
The only way to please everyone is to give split screeners their own playlist and only allow them to play that. They get to play other split screeners so nobody has an advantage and I don't have games ruined because they have a negative impact on which ever team they are put on, both by being **** at the game and causing performance issues in the match with their game running at 30FPS instead of 60FPS. I don't know the specifics, but IW themselves have even said that split screening has a negative impact on the game (performance wise), but they believed it wasn't that big of an impact so included it anyway because it was a popular feature in Black Ops.

Well there was no point in me complaining about it when it was just easier to use the mute feature, it was nothing you did it's just that I can't stand listening to an echo. I wouldn't even bother replacing it if it still works for you, since the only one it seemed to bother was me, everyone else could hear it too, but they just sat through it time after time without saying anything other than "who's echoing?".

I do miss Alrik chewing the mic lol
Yes but everyone is at fault for that. Rather than have a friendly community of arranged games everyone is so concerned with ranking up a pointless number. So very very few people want to play decent customisable games against like minded people. Instead they put up with playing total **** wits who won't play the game as intended but want to unlock some badge or emblem or get 500 nukes.
Then 12 months later they start the same cycle to the same pointless prestige. What they should do is come up with a totally pointless achievement like Gears seriously 3.0 that takes forever but can be boosted solo in private. This keeps all the ***** away from public boosting.
I say again the most fun I've ever had online is the GRAW games or Gears 1 where it was a team full of ocuk players where we mixed and matched the players abilities game by game for a fun balanced fight. Neither of those two games where stunning but it was far more fun than killing some random and you have better banter during and after.
Chasing some trivial rank that has no bearing on skill is killing the community aspect of these games. By all means have ranked games but make it go up and down based on skill!
Alrik: Just a case of if I knew I might of been able to do something about it. Oh well the past now. The new headset thing is more to do with the coating on the wires is splitting round a couple of the jack plugs.
Roughly been keeping an eye on this thread of who has been posting, got most people about the only one I recognise is missing is TommyV
The more time goes on the more I am having to try convince myself that I am not going to pre-order this and adopt a wait and see aproach. Only problem is I know I am lying haha.

At the time I just assumed you had a Turtle Beach headset and there is next to nothing you can do about it, Konvict had and Jake still has the same problem where their headsets echo, but the difference was that yours did it constantly and theirs would come and go. Mischiefs dad was the worst for it with his **** X41's, but that didn't really matter anyway since I muted him because he's a ******* *****
One thing they all have in common was that they used Turtle Beach headsets, Konvict has now got Astro A40's and I've not heard his headset echo since.

I think he posted a few months back saying he was selling his Xbox and going travelling.

Yup turtle beach here too can't remember which model though. They work alright as headphones just shame they are coming apart and if there isn't anything you can do about the echo then definately time to bin them me thinks.
Oh thats a shame then, he was a laugh and good player too.

Which Astro's do you have? The A40's seem to be highly recommended. So do using the Sennheiser PC360's with Astro mix amp. Think I need to make a recommendation thread later instead of going off topic in this one.

Haha peer pressure at it's best, I like it.

I'd quite happily play private games with friends but I never have enough online to fill a lobby.
And funnily enough me and a friends were on about Gears 1 the other day. I ONLY played that in private matches. It was good because you could customise everything,whereas private matches in Gears got worse as the series went on.
