Hooray for adults (21 yrs old +) on xbox live!!

you are so true, infact ive almost come across as many older players(older sounding of course) just as rude and/or annoying as i have with very young players.DLXMAN

Tired of muting everyone? Here is a trick if your alone, plug in the mic then instead of putting it on your head just put it in your lap. There problem solved you wont have to listen to any kids again Darktiger12

This is what I always do. I highly advise.

Someone once said "Kids Suck!" -Ma Fertelli (The Goonies)

Im not sure you would say i come off as an ageist if you really did indeed read all my posts. I have said MANY times that age dosent matter. AGE DOESNT = MATURITY. I appreciate that you understood what i was trying to get across and i guess that means that EVERYONE should be able to get my point if a few poeple are able to RIGHT? I did get a chuckle over your catholic example and i do agree with you, but you have to ask yourself is that a bad thing? Change is inevitable and that change can be good and bad depending on who you are. For me i consider it to be a good thing because the community on live will change and i am looking forward to that change (red print is what my point is all about, and is the only thing i ever wanted to share with everyone). Remember im open to all ages when it comes to sharing a hobby, i just wish everyone would RESPECT everyone else and be kind, especially in the world today.

I must say, there are a lot of immature adults out there who bug me as much as the little kids. Especially when they start to trash talk, really they think they sound cool and old on Xbox Live - but it just makes me think how much of a loser they must be.

Okay so you're 20+ years old and swear at little kids on Xbox Live, bravo to those people out there, you're really cleaning up Xbox Live's child problem - really that's a good way to get people to do what you want. Scream and curse at them.

... yeah, Bravo.

Kids are not the only problem, many adults I have played with are either extremely obnoxious (Often when booze is included). Yes, small children are annoying, but so are adults.Shrapnel99

y dont u jst tell those kids to stfu? problem solved...and if it isnt, threaten to tell there mom lmfaoxbox360crazy

You know what Ibaapzo you might have a million dollar idea there. There should be a search filter based on age (keep in mind im not against younger gamers in general). It would definetly add to the experience if you were able to look up people by age but as well by country,state, and gender. What do you guys think of that idea? Maybe something microsoft will incorporate later down the road.DLXMAN

no problem. Its posts like yours that i keep an eye out for anyway.DLXMAN

For some reason, it always says my mic is plugged in, even when it isn't. So that's what I do sometimes, except I leave the mic out.

wow your the biggest loser in the world, their is a mute function so stop being a little girl, god i hate these topicsRE4freak

Then why are you taking the time to post in one? TC, I totally agree with you. We aren't talking about 17 and 18 year olds here, we are talking about 8-12 year olds who have no business being on the internet interacting with adults or playing violent MP games. Go ahead, talk all the smack you guys want about how I shoudl just mute them and blah blah blah. THEY SHOULDN'T BE ON THESE GAMES IN THE FIRST PLACE! I shouldn't have to be inconvenienced like that because a kids parents are worthless...

I for one cant wait for school to start, not because i have to go but for all the little brats on xbox live (you know who you are). Hooray for mature people on xbox live from the hours of 7 am to 3 pm and late night!! Cant wait to tell those kiddies to go to bed and get a good nights sleep for school the next morning HAHA. I as a college student hate getting into a game of cod4 and finding that 8 out of the 12 players are 8 year old kids acting like there big tough football players with there high pitch winny voices talking trash and SINGING NON STOP! WHOS WITH ME? (21 and below not included, unless youve been told "your going places" by your highschool guidance counselor or something).

P.S. I have tried to say this on other pages but its not getting to the majority. I USE THE AGE OF 21 AS A LEGAL STANDARD FOR ADULTS ( In the USA). Not everyone under 21 is immature certainly, and not everyone above 21 is mature. Thanks and i hope this clears SOME things up for those of you who dont read through topics before posting. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

P.S. AGAIN (for everyone suggesting the mute buttom) 50% of playing a game online to me is being able to communicate with other people. If i cant talk and hear other real people then i might as well be playing an OFFLINE game with bots. whats the point of muting everyone if your gonna put your headset on? And trust me like i said its 50% of the experience in my opinion.

I BEG PEOPLE TO READ BEFORE POSTING, THANKS!!

I'll drink to that (literally). Although the little kids crying can be funny sometimes. Me and my bro were playing Guitar Hero III and stomping some little kid on there. I swear he was crying everytime we beat him with Death Drain.

I agree that it's easier to find young people who are asshats than adults, but you know as well as I do that asshats come in all shapes and sizes and age truly has no effect, you're never going to make them go away, want to know why? Because the best place to be abnoxious is the internet, people love being asses anonymously.

I love how you flailed your "maturity" by making this topic, but honestly if you got a problem with the kiddies just mute them, how in god's name do you think it's immature to mute them? You think it's more mature to wish they were gone? They have as much a right to play XBL as you do, and if you have a problem with that you might as well stop playing, you can either mute those who annoy you like a normal, grown up person would, or you can whine about it.

mcnutty5 i was reading what you wrote and the first half was great and i was like "wow he really did his homework on everything ive been saying throughout this topic" ,then i got to the second half and was surley dissapointed. First off if you did your homework you would know i think all ages are welcome to join ANY hobby they want. You should also know that muting a few kids isnt going to solve anything and you should read what i wrote about muting people. How in Hell did i say muting people is immature? Where did you get that PLEASE tell me haha because you got me miffed on that one.DLXMAN

mcnutty5 I absolutely agree with you for the most part, but i have to say muting people is DEFINETLY NOT a solution. Iam sorry to say but theres way to many people online for muting to be a solution thats why i suggested a more advanced filter of some kind (perhaps microsoft can come up with one, or maybe they have and it will be released with the new update).DLXMAN

some kids are homeschooled idiot so now im going to find you and sing i kissed a girl over and over and over until you leave

joking but yeah i do find little kinds annoying ... im 15 im talking about the younger ones who sing i kissed a girl over and over

i was playing a game of halo 3 and we had 4 diffrent people singing that song and they were all at a diffrent point in the song

Anonymity + Xbox Live Mic + Audience = Total D**kh**d

XBL is a platform for all the a-holes of the world to vend their anger of their insignificant life

LOL Its not just the kids. Many of them are adults, sayin racist jokes about black ppl and vice versa.

At least 2wice a week, i hear some racist stuff about black ppl. Thats uncessary. *Leaves bad feedback*

Yes I agree. There's no need for racist remarks. Surly we are all adults here.

Ok now that we have said all that, what do you guys think about mature titles and kids who play them that are under the age required to play (I believe the age is 17+ to play an M rated title). I have met many players who are below 17 on M rated titles such as cod4, halo3, gears of war ect... What are your thoughts?

P.S. Keep in mind i know plenty of people below the age of 17 and are much more mature then older players, but that doesnt hinder the fact that the LEGAL age to buy the product and play it is 17+.
