GENERAL TONE #USES
DESCRIPTION
After two chartbusting efforts on Xbox, the enigmatic, genetically enhanced Spartan soldier known as Master Chief makes his highly anticipated Xbox 360 debut in Halo 3. The sci-fi shooter picks up where Halo 2 abruptly left off: The Covenant is continuing its plans to activate the Halo super-weapon and obliterate the galaxy; Earth is in utter disarray with only a few remnants of its armies intact; and the Flood grows stronger and more aggressive with each passing day. Your mission, as Master Chief, is to repel the Flood's advances, save Earth, and stop the Covenant — no matter what the cost.
Halo 3 offers a solo campaign, cooperative play, and multiplayer action via Xbox Live, system link, or split-screen display. The cinematic storyline introduces new characters, weapons, and mission objectives, with the enemy AI offering distinct fighting styles, tactics, and even personalities, all while trying to rip your armored space suit into pieces. Familiar weapons such as the Needler have been upgraded and are joined with all-new armaments, including massive support weapons (such as a missile pod or turret) that switch the default perspective to a third-person view, chargeable lasers, and a gun that shoots out metal spikes. Players can also protect themselves with bubble shields, reach high places with portable gravity lifts, disrupt motion tracking with radar jammers, and more.
Vehicles are also a big part of the action, with redesigned favorites and new class types entering the fray, such as the speedy but fragile Mongoose. The matchmaking service introduced in Halo 2 will once again bring similarly skilled Xbox Live players together, albeit with more customization options and a new streamlined interface. Players can still enter multiple lobbies, veto certain maps or game types, and so forth, but now they can instantly form parties with people they've just met for future matches, watch videos of completed games to learn techniques of the top Halo players, view detailed stats and rankings updated in real time, and squelch certain voices from being broadcast to their headsets. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

Your gamerDNA learns what you love about games so it can tell you what you'll enjoy about others. When you "run" your gamerDNA at a game page (like this one) the data within your gamerDNA is calculated against all the data associated with the game, in this case Halo 3, and what comes out the other side are all the things your gamerDNA has in common with the game. Pretty cool!
Remember, the more you add to your gamerDNA the better this gets.

“That is one of the many reasons that I generally only talk to my friends over party chat. The way some dipshits treat girls is only one of many reasons not to listen to them. Also, is it just me or are the most vocal douchebags usually the worst players?”

“@WILDMAMMOTH agreed, but i admit that i do hate certain people, namely Emo's, but I must always see the bigger picture, so I cannot allow my hatred towards the emo community control me. So I leave them be, but if they come crying to me when it affects me personally then I would give them something to really cry about. ”

“I've not seen that sort of behavior in a long time, but on the other hand, I also don't play those particular games. Most of the people I see playing them at Gamer's Inn are just generally foul mouthed, though, so I suppose I'll probably catch them acting like this toward a girl gamer eventually.
Of course, Dryad goes to the same internet cafe and can easily beat some sense into them if she hears them acting like that. Maybe that's why I never hear any anti-girl talk around there.”

“Nothing to do with girls specifically. Most people online talk nonsense. The rare times I have been dragged in to listening I have heard racism, sexism, unbelievable stupidity etc. Thats why Instick to my own parties only and I identify new possibly cool people by how they play!”
Spiderish was the last to comment - 4 days ago...
“The one thing I almost constantly find about the types is that they generally don't care who or what their sexual preference, gender or nationality may be. They're just looking for someone's feathers to ruffle. It's a very unfortunate side of online gaming that I feel can mainly be blamed on the anonymity of the Internet. I take solace in the fact most of them are under age or typically too cowardly to say any of their asinine hate speech to any one of the people's faces.
Best defense? Stronger vocabulary, or reverse psychology, imply their hatred is their secret wanting of being whoever whatever they're insulting. I've actually had encouraging success with those tactics, most times without cursing at all. ”

“People get brave behind a computer screen, and weak people react to feelings of inadequacy and self doubt by bashing others to try and make themselves feel more powerful.
My daughters game VIOLENTLY and target their antagonists first.
Guys who do this are generally frustrated, young, and have yet to learn the life-saving admonition that "Hell hath no fury...."
Those guys will eventually learn that female gamers (FragDolls as an example) have unmatched patience and more innate group cunning than men. They may not face you head-on, but you'll feel the sting at some point, guaranteed. ”

“I've come across them, and usually ignore them in town once i realize they are just ignorant and lashing out. If they are PMing me I'll put them on my ignore list. I have considered reporting a few times, but never have.
A lot of guys seem to need to show off, & become overly competitive with each other around me, trying to prove they are the alpha. I find that very annoying in team situations.There like several people that I have fun playing with, but I can't mix them.
Also there's very few of them that can suck it up & follow me & do what I tell them. There's been more than 1 occasions that we have failed elite missions after spending a couple of hours working our way to the boss, because they won't listen to me, even though I'm the only 1 in the group that's done it before.
Of course there are some of them that I know there ego won't allow them to follow, so when I play w them I make sure I have confidence that they are up to the task, and then just let them lead.
I'm sure that it has a lot to do with the number of adolescents involved in gaming.”

“I don't think that they're insulting you because you're a girl. They're insulting you because they're idiots.
I'm French and sometimes find myself on the receiving end of the most ridiculous prejudice. I usually play along, something like "wait, I was just eating some fromage in my baguette, but now I'm ready to play". Or I'll face them head on with something like "Don't be cocky, you won because you played better than me, not because you're American". Or just some plain ol' lecturing.
It is my experience that when confronted to meaning of their words, most people will stand corrected. But what applies in my case doesn't have to be true in your case, because those are 2 different kinds and degrees of prejudice.
It has happened to me dozens of times on XBL, so by now I'm more amused than angry when it happens.
And I can always quit and hope that the next people I play with have an IQ greater than a bulldog.
I wish to pint out that most people I chat with online during play are act polite or lively people, and are nice to play with. These idiots are anomalies.
Cheer up, and good game.
Off topic, but might raise your spirits a little bit, the best Left 4 Dead player among my XBL regular friends is a French girl (L4D is the MP game I play the most).”

Here's a question: Do you tell those people who say that to shut the fuck up? Or do you silently do nothing? I wanna hear it.
One other thing, all the games you mention are generally shooters. I think thats a big contributor to the issue here.
A different perspective: The guys talk shit at the other guys they are fragging. Then they frag a girl. Do they: A, not say anything so they don't hurt her feelings? B, talk shit and treat her like the other guys they obviously talk shit about. Which is equal? Neither? Both? Are they supposed to be more considerate? What is sexist or biased in this case? Can you burp and fart in a woman's presence? Or are you the only one offended? Do they even consider what they are saying to be serious? What about the girl? Who's disturbed more, you or her?

“With online activities in general it is the fact that people can insult others and get away with it because the other person will never find out who they are. Being online multiplies the worst in people a thousand times. You take some arrogant person in real life and they will be worse online because you don't know who they are. As in the case of guys being mean, and from what I am reading you are implying extra mean though correct me if I am wrong, the only thing I can come up with is ego. They just got humiliated by a girl, so to them they have to insult you to keep their manhood. Though all it really does is makes them look worse than just getting beat. My advice is to try and ignore it and chalk it up to the fact that the internet is full of jerks who think insulting people makes them look cool. However, if things get really out of hand don't hesitate to report them and let them feel the good ol' banstick.”

“the mute button is really great for me on XBL. almost everyone on all those games (except Left 4 Dead kinda surprised to see that game) are jerks who suck really so they try to play mind games. it helps if you think of it like this.
Halo 3: they all still believe in cuddies.
GOW2: Trying so hard to compensate for short comings
COD4: Everyone is a jerk if they have a mic mute them
Halo ODST: look at Halo 3
If this doesn't help always go into a game with party chat (which is what I do). Their just angry that they got their arse kicked so they look for anything to make fun of. ”

I might mess with them a little if I'm in the mood, but usually I just ignore & go on my way, after all I'im play to have fun, not put up with abuse.

I find it something to comment on and keep awareness there.

“Okay... where to start? First off being an older gamer it is nice just to have female gamers on. I am all ways surprised when I see them on. And true there are those people that make rude comments. But lets be honest in that...... They are everywhere and in basically every game. I have found though that FPS games are worse than the others. Check the games you are playing. For one thing Halo has always been bad and most of the real gamers haven't liked that game for that reason for some time now. Most of these people can be ignored now.... hence the party system.”

On a serious note though, most girl gamers actually play way more intense then some of the guy gamers i know, they actually can focus more on strategy and outwitting then brute force. When i played professionally I would always try to recruit at least one girl gamer for my squad in Counterstrike, a lot of times it can prove to be quite advantageous.
What doesn't make sense to me are the guys that berate woman over xbox live, it's retarded. "get in the kitchen and make me asandwhich" As it might be funny if the girl is a firend of yours and doesn't get mad but it just proves that you suck at games and need to up your skills.

“Welcome to the Internet.
The Internet is largely populated by assholes with no communication skills, lots of insecurity, and a strong herd mentality. They'll happily replicate whatever meme of the month is popular - such as telling females to go make them a sandwich. They'll insult anyone and everyone who is even slightly different - women, homosexuals, foreigners, whatever. And they'll spout profanity almost nonstop.
Don't take it personally.
Most of these folks are still living at home... Maybe they've never had a meaningful relationship... Maybe they're still working at McDonalds for minimum wage... The point is that they're still sheltered little brats with absolutely no perspective and little to truly be proud of. Anything out of the ordinary is a frightening attack on their safe little corner of the world.”

I myself don't really care I will play against a girl and with a girl like any other gamer. At times I do have to stick up for a lot of the girl gamers I play with since people pick on them all the time. That makes it harder to play with females at times because they don't like getting bitched at all the time.
+1 to not being idiots around girls!”

I know that my problem has nothing to do with me being a girl...and playing a female character in those type games...I sometimes think it (being a girl and playing a female) helps me get into parties more than get kicked from them! Class and level probably also probably has a lot to with that too.”

“@fireystar In mmo's i am kind of biased as far as the female gamer community, WoW ruined a Girls perspective for me because almost ever single girl i played with except maybe 4 were all needy and wanted free loot. I'm sorry but just because you sound delicious over ventrilo doesn't constitute as a real girl in my book especially when you asking for me to help you constantly and i do all the work.
With tat being said kicking a girl from a party just because she is a girl is retarded. At least play with them to find out if they can hack it. If not then give them the boot but that goes for even the dudes i have played with.
Whats even better tho imo isa female who loves the rush of a challenge, especially in a PvP setting. Give me a good looking female who screams commands over ventrilo or hell in my living room because we lan centered up my delicious front area. Magic Gentleman pure freakin magic.

“@Fenrir085 Im like that with my GF, "Woman, come heal Naxx" and she comes. No just kidding. My GF is a gamer and I don't get why the opposite from you happens to her. She mostly make friends easily which turns out to be a kind of awkward "blinded gamer-friend love" out of the blue. FPS is not her strong game genre either which might explain a lot of things since kids mostly play L4D, Halo and whatnot and they have microphones in thir 360 package, glad that I've sold mine.
I, however, have 100% confidence that these guys get their @#$% kicked by my lovely mage (in wow, she's not a mage in real life, not the slightest... I think.) and then sent the remains to their parents in guise of warning.
Nonetheless, I've been in a guild which was ran by 2 girls. Everything went well until emotions came into play.. Then again, that could happen to anyone.
Teehee. ”

Everytime I join a match and there's a girl in the server, everyone's too busy fawning over her like she just announced free blowjobs to the nicest person on the server to have an actual match. Everyone on the opposite team stops killing her, everyone on her team protects her instead of the fucking base.
Seriously. Equality also means no special treatment.”

Falling back on the same comparison I always use, a girl who clamors for attention by declaring herself a 'girl gamer' because she plays a few popular games is the same thing as a guy following girls around trying to get attention by saying he's a chef because he knows how to microwave some instant ramen.
Truly awesome gamer girls don't obsess over being a gamer any more than the average male gamer does. If being a gamer girl is your entire identity, you're just as bad as those otaku nuts that have anime figurines lining every wall in their room and sleep with a body pillow that has an ecchi drawing of a girl from a popular shonen pasted on it.”
