Bigmeandean - Arrogance!
First of all peeps this is just me venting and I will not mention any names! If anybody cares to respond to this post then please respect my request and respond in kind! Let me ask each of you, have you ever heard certain players that come in late into a game and then when they don't win say, "I just needed a few more minutes"? To me that statement is degrading to the individuals that win with the assumption that they would indeed run the leaders down and win. That is arrogance example #1. Example number #2 is when somebody talks like only they have the right to win each and every map! Now remember this, there is a difference between arrogance and self confedence, for example when I say when someone shoots me from a certain position, "I am going to cut you if you stay there", that is confedence. I dont think I am untouchable but there are many that seem to do that very kind of thinking. Like I said thjis is just me venting and I wish everybody could just play for the fun of it. Winning isn't everything in life. I can think of many things that out rank winning by a country mile. Family, friends and such, are so much more important than winning a damned video game.
I happened to say something pretty similar to this today. So if this post is or is not in reference to me I'm not sure. Here is a few thoughts. One thing that annoys me about the cod series. It has never had time played showing on the scoreboard. I have played games that are 15 years old that have this. On another note I don't say this to whine or thinking I should win every level. Am I competive sure. I still enjoy the game and the people I play with but I don't play to lose. Will I lose any sleep at night if I lose no. Am I giving the person crap who won? Sure some if I wasn't in the whole game. Am I putting them down no. It was Pete who I have played with for years. Who I also like and respect. The same guy I asked to be on my cod2 ctf team tourneys ago. Why? Because one thing I am cocky about is I can recognize talent and what they are good at. So I think you need to loosen your panties up. What I said after I typed the comment was gg which = good game. The same thing I say if I lose or I win by 40 or 50.
