I think PS3 and Wii don't win this infamous distinction only because they're so new to the game, but maybe you have experienced otherwise.

I have experienced some pretty awful PC online communities, but I think the ease of kicks and banning built into most PC games, software like Punkbuster, and not as many voice chats as the consoles (still a lot who only communicate through text), have saved it from becoming as awful as.....

On either Xbox 1 or 360.... I don't think I've ever played against so many little kids who won't shut up, potheads who get into the stupidest online verbal arguments, or loud braggarts who suck as I have most Xbox Live enabled games. Handing out headsets like candy to anyone who can utter a syllable or two doesn't help much either.

yes the community can be down right horrible on xbox live, heres the arguments youll most likely get in this thread, "with millions of people of course there will be a few **** "the only reason why psn doesnt have a bad online community is because no one has mics" "i dont know what your talking about ive been playing live for years and have never encountered anyone that i found to be annoying" those are the type of things that people will say to you

the xbox 360 community is excellent, there are always alot of players on any game you want to play online, not all people are idiots, iv made alot of friends through halo 3 team slayer and double team, its always good to put the little loud mouths in thier place, iv been told one to go and talk to tony blair?? (whatever that means, and all i hear is " oooh mummy tea and crumpets" which is hilarious!!!

XBL has alot of *****, but it also is home to many funny, cool gamers as well.

And well, that is what the mute function was made for on XBL.

I have not played any online enabled Wii games nor any PS3 games yet, although I will be getting more online games for the PS3 soon. As for the Wii games, I will most likely only play Brawl with friends, so I doubt I will experience the community at large.

That said, IMO, the worst community is the hardcore players on Tom Clancy games, as I get booted from game after game in the lobby because I am not at a high enough rank/etc.

Little British kids have to be the most annoying headset players in existence.

"What ya gonna do today mate?" "Oh, I reckon wrestle, chum."

"Dooodley, why were you not at the scrum?" "Me mum bans me from the computer, mate."

I don't know even you can consider some of them a community. In a large community where everyone can vocally participate, I would imagine you would fine more A holes then the others.

I haven't played many Tom Clancy games lately but I remember when Rainbow Six was first becoming a big online event on the PC (before Xbox Live really picked up), it had a lot of hardcore Asian players who didn't know much English, and you had to learn their emoticon text style, or suffer the ban.

Xboxlive Sometimes I have to turn off my Microphone because some person is listening to Music and we tell him to turn it off and then they never listen so I just turn off my microphone and un-plug it.Nintendo_Ownes7

The only music that I find entertaining is when some guy has a cheesy song he plays when someone does something stupid. Usually near the end of the match when everyone is watching. I was playing Counter-Strike last week and some dude kept playing this song http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4465042678765443236 when only newbie campers were left in the match and we all had to impatiently wait for it to finally end. Got annoying after a while, but cracked me up the first few times. :D

I've only played Xbox Live back when i had a 360,it had quite a few whiny kids indeed,and thats from NOT playing popular games at that.

Can't comment on PC,Wii and PS3 though,since i've never played online on those 3 systems.

Xbox Live is probably the worst statistically. There are more people and you are more likely to find little kids and buttholes. On the contrary, Xbox Live is also the best. Some of the funniest and most awesome people are on Xbox Live.

I have yet to understand why MS has not done anything to mod some of the people using LIVE. If they want to appeal to families then they need to set up a system to start getting after some of the the users.

When my son wants to play I don't even allow him to use the headset but still stuff comes though the TV.

You know with Fox getting after MS about Mass Effect. I would have expect something to be said about the remarks on LIVE. I have been expecting a news story to come out. Something like "Do you know what your kid is saying" or something like that

360, hands down. I've never been exposed to so many moronic 12-year olds in one place, though it does, of course, have its fair share of mature gamers.

I generally don't come across kids on Live. It's mostly adults. I would say Wii has the worst judging from what I hear the community is almost nonexistent.

imo psn, boring, ppl aren't competitive enough and when they are they are asses about it. On psn you have lil to no body...not really just an exaggeration, but i mean like there is only the ppl that compliment each other or the ones that complain all the time or the huge d****s, thats why i like xbl...seem like stero typing yeah, but its so impersonel on psn, xbl seems like it has more ppl with character and with pc, pc wins easy, it has the browser to have website and clans and then all the games and guilds and etc.

I have my issues with every single one; Live: Lots of frat boys or otherwise making animal noises and generally being a pain. PSN: Bunch of non-competitive people who compliment you way too much. Makes you feel violated. Wii: ? What? Online community? For what game? PC: For the most part, I haven't raelly had as many problems here, primarly due to the idiot blocks the other platforms don't have.

Yes, zombie mod is one of the most annoying ever, although I don't know how it compares to Xbox Live. For some reason, that's where you'll find the little kids. I'm guessing regular CS:S is too hardcore for them.

360: A large amount of little 10 year old kids screaming "Hannah Montana is hot". Thats pretty self-explanatory and yes this has happened on CoD4 twice in one day.

PS3: Everyone is a little too friendly. They compliment you on every little thing and then want to send you a friend request after 2 minutes of talking to you.

Wii: Online Community doesn't exist.

PC: I have no opinion here because the games I do play online not much talking (or typing).

Yeah, Live's got the monopoly on those people. /sarcasm.

Are people really saying the friendly, open atmosphere on PSN is a bad thing? Keep paying for online, chums - apparently we want nothing to do with each other.

for PC it really depends on the game, but most of the time when you're playing tf2, cod4, crysis, sins of a solar empire, theres plenty of mature people. the PC hands down has the best community out there for many of its games.

xbox live it doesnt matter what the hell the game is, i always encounter kids with the worst vocabulary in the world.

PSN isnt too bad, i run into idiots in Burnout with music constantly blaring out of their mics, but for the most part, some nice people on PSN who gladly add you as a friend after a game.

wii i dont know.

alot of pc gamers dont welcome Multiplatform games, which is understandable, but there is one advantage to having say..cod4 on consoles and on PC. all the kids stay on the consoles while all the mature people play on PC.

it may sound like gross generalisation, but seriously, that's the case.
