My first reaction was basically &#8220;Well, <em>I never&#8230;<\/em>&#8220;. I was on a server recommended by a friend for mature players who I didn&#8217;t think would type that sort of thing.<\/p>\n<p>But my second reaction was to type something about how he should stop sucking and learn to play the game. I was ready to go there. But my third reaction, which kicked in only because I didn&#8217;t have time to type in stuff about stopping sucking and learning to play, was delight that he was irked, so I should just type in &#8220;u mad?&#8221;. My fourth reaction, which kicked in only because I had people to shoot, flags to cap, tanks to spot, ammo bags to chuck, and no time to look up the chat key, was that I should really try to rise above that sort of silliness.<\/p>\n<p>Multiplayer shooters makes me as stupid as the other people playing them.  I really enjoyed aggravating someone because I&#8217;m as good as I am*.  But I should keep that to myself.  If there&#8217;s one thing worse than a sore loser, it&#8217;s a sore winner.  The worst stupidity comes from people crowing because they&#8217;re winning, which is worse than the more common stupidity where someone is berating his team because they&#8217;re losing.  Competitive videogames aren&#8217;t just for kids.  They&#8217;re for people with no sense of sportsmanship.<\/p>\n<p>But for all the icky juvenile behavior that can be as infectious as cooties, I love Battlefield 3. And by way of a teaser, I also love another high-profile shooter coming out next week that I&#8217;ve had the opportunity to play. To me, they&#8217;re not quite direct competitors. They offer different kinds of experiences, and dramatically different ways to play.  I suspect I&#8217;ll be playing both, trying desperately to retain the level of dignity that befits a grown man.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, the chat key in Battlefield 3 is &#8220;K&#8221;.  Next time, I&#8217;ll be ready when someone comes at me.<\/p>\n<h5>* I mean every word of that, but not as a boast<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Check out how many kills I have with the M249 in Battlefield 3.
