Played PS3 Online for the first time

Myself and a friend decided to hook our PS3s up to the internet last night and play Call of Duty 4 online. Oh dear, what a baptism of fire! Even though I've been a regular kind of gamer since 1980 with the old Atari 2600, nothing had prepared me for the thing that is the 'online youth'.

I'm not entirely sure I understood everything that they said, and between the swearing, bitching and cussing I was left wondering if they actually had anything useful to say at all. At one point I thought the brevado a lot of them were displaying meant that I had got it all wrong, they were not simply foul mouthed teenagers but in fact veterans of actual war.

It took me about 5 games before I even managed to kill anyone. I would swear that the people who populate this game must have nothing else to do all day except play COD4 online.

Saying all that, it was great fun. I have heard that there are groups of people online who set up games that are 'teenage idiot free' so I will have a look for these.

Does anyone here play COD4 online on the PS3 Network?

Occassionally. It's best to get a few friends together.

I do swear a bit when killed myself though. Laughing out loud
I used to get stalked by a young kid that I used to work with. He'd walk around behind me for about 5 minutes before killing me with a knife. Very annoying.

Sorry, but that did make me chuckle !

That phrase does sound rather familiar.

I keep meaning to get my internet wireless so I can play Fifa 09 online via my XBOX360

I tried GTA IV online. Then I took the headphones out 'cos they were a bunch of cocks. Mind you, I was better at it than them.

As a rule I don't like online gaming because no matter how many hours you put in, there's always, ALWAYS going to be some prepubescent snotty yank kid who's going to urinate all over you in the most humiiating fashion. I can't handle defeat like that.

I know what you mean. That's why I was so surprised to be better than most people at GTAIV online. That's never happened before.

One teabagging too many, was it?

I want to play. Not with yanky teenagers (well maybe the sexy ones) but my PS2 is sucking arse atm. I resent it. *shakes fist*

S'ok, it made me laugh for the first 15 minutes. It made it all the more excellent when I did kill him though.

Indeed. I don't mind having a private game with the likes of you or other people I know online - but for f**k's sake, say on Gears Of War 2 for instance - even the beginners are experts. Does my head right in.
