Objects of Gaming Hate

Quiet please

Now that everyone and their little brother has headsets and mics, playing online shooters has become a chattier affair. For the most part, in-game conversations are pretty mellow, but we’ve noticed that certain types of loudmouths have been drowning the soothing sounds of rocket blasts and machine gun fire.

The Supreme Commander: Whether you’re playing Halo 2 or Counter Strike, the Supreme Commander is always ready to tell you what you’re doing wrong. These virtual drill sergeants think they know everything. When they’re not barking out orders, they keep themselves busy with insulting their teammates.

Famous quotes: “Someone take out that sniper! Why isn’t anyone capturing that command point? Do you losers even want to win?”

How to cope: Don’t take the Supreme Commander seriously. Your best bet is to wait him out. After losing several rounds, his competitive and arrogant nature will lead him to blame you before leaving to find another group of players to boss around.
