Xbox Live Communication Isn't All Its Cracked Up To Be
from the degenerating-into-voice-trolls dept
Xbox Live has been getting great reviews all around, as people say that playing games online against real opponents is a lot more fun than going up against the computer. However, this Reuters reporter tested it out with the voice communication part enabled, and found that almost everyone he dealt with was completely obnoxious. Certainly not the ringing endorsement Microsoft was probably hoping for. There are now sites that will rate online players, where you can input metadata about which players are nice and which are annoying. Of course, as with any open online feedback system, it's open to its own abuse.
