There are very few things that tend to influence me to throw my controller at my T.V. But there is one that I happen to run into at least once a day.
So imagine you're playing Halo 3, I don't care if you're a PC gamer 4lyfe (*cough*spot*cough*), just work with me here. You start a game, whats your first action? Clearly grab a weapon you're good with, be it a battle rifle, or sniper rifle.
That is generally how my games start off, I make a mad dash to control the maps one or two sniper rifles, to insure victory, but it can't be that easy can it?
We've all experienced it on a daily basis. Squeakers, children, noobs, they go by many titles, but they all infect that gaming market like a bad form of HIV. They tend to scream profanity after ever kill they get, which is generally by spraying their wepaon across the screen and getting a lucky headshot, sitting on the .50 cal, grabbing the rockets and having a heyday. They also are characterized by their tendency to call you a 'fucker' every time you kill them.
Back to my example: I grab my sniper rifle on Narrows and make a beeline for the other team's sniper all the while making sure I keep an eye out for anyone else trying to take it. I'm about half way across and My shield drop to 0, I look at my motion tracker, no one in range to drop my shields that fast, next thing I'm dead, I look around and see a team mate standing behind me, who then picks up my sniper, and proceeds to be pretty damned terrible with it.
I have the feeling I already know whats happened, so I check the saved film after the game, to have my theory confirmed: The player on my team followed me down and waited until he was in range to melee me and kill me, presumably to get my sniper rifle. The game ended with me on top, and our little kid on the bottom, who then started to scream and complain that I was stealing his kills, and that the Halo 3 sniper sucks.
This is what the gaming population has degraded into, children with parents who seemingly don't to give a rat's ass about what they're kids do, see, or say over the internet. I've had my share of hate directed towards me for my choice to play as an Elite in Halo 3, but there are always the 12 year old's the run around calling everyone in sight an 'n-word' or a noob because I can kill someone half way across Valhalla with a battle rifle in 4 shots.

In the PC version people couldn't really care less if I'm a Demoman keeping sticky bombs on our capture points, it's a viable tactic, and easily overcome. In the 360 version, however, I have people cussing me out non stop for even mousing over the demoman.
