If you took all the marketing buzz words which these people fell they have to use to justify their existance (which incidentally just proves they’re STUPID) you’re left with:

* Comfortable headset with easy to use features * - why say more?

I have noticed a night/day difference between the times you play(har). If I played ranked GRAW games in the morning/afternoon I find myself playing with a lot of brits and a lot of people like myself. 20-somethings with a second shift job. The gameplay is much slower and more tactical, everyone is less aggressive, people use voice communication/drones/classes properly. Basically it is just fantastic gameplay.

At night however it is a mixed bag. Any of the adversial games usually have one or two people in there who are just constantly irritating. I’ve noticed a lot of times the hosts will stack the teams based on rank to create uneven odds. I usually try to play Co-Op at night because people there are generally of a different mindset. I am so glad co-op does not get included in the ‘TruSkil” ranking.

What i’ve ended up with after a few weeks or so is finding some people who are enjoyable to play with (mainly met through co-op). With co-op you can tell a lot more about how a person is because you really need to work together. Sometimes theres a guy who runs off to try in kill a bunch of people but he usually dies quickly and leaves because he doesn’t want to wait. It works itself out

Overall the co-op in GRAW is far more compelling than the adversial (although I still fancy me a game of siege or team elimination).

and vermouth, i guess i just have this misplaced belief that those people are just the vocal minority of xbox live users. most of the people i play with are nothing like that, but then i play with the people i play with instead of random people, because of people like that.
