XBL is a joke

It's a shame you can't ignore users individually (as in highlight their name and mute their audio). That would make the whole thing about a thousand times more bearable.

Other than that, make your raison d'être for the entire match headshooting the fucker if possible... but the only thing worse than some gobby racist 13 year old is some gobby racist 13 year old who is really good :(
exactly.

what games need is a more robust matchmaking system rather than just force everyone who wants to play online into one big melting pot. If people want to play superl33t hardc0r3 then give them a lobby and they can shout at each other to their hearts content. If people just want to play and ejoy the game like, dare i say, adults, then accommodate that. Also they need better accommodation for different skill levels so people like me can avoid the 13yo professional killfuck soulshitters of the world.

But you cn choose which zone to play in, can't you?
 
Can't you just leave a game then??

Genuine question.
of course. Not really the answer though as most games have piss poor matchmaking systems. You'll just meet another bunch of screaming american hillbilly children. They don't seem to be in short supply on Live.
 
I dont understand what you're paying for?

Players host the actual games. Paying to use the built in online functionality seems crazy but nobody questions it. Imagine buying a copy of window and then having to pay subs to use it online. People say stuff like "oh it all works great" and "it's only £40 a year" but they are missing the actual point which is you are paying a charge for nothing. You already payed for the console and the game, you're hosting it on your own web connection so what exactly is the charge for?
 
I didn't realise it was peer to peer hosting... I guess MS think they can get away with it until someone else (ie Sony or Nintendo) equal or better the experience?
