God...I couldn't even watch all of that...

I've seen people play Halo 2 online, but never anything like that.

The second one wasn't as good.

Him hiting the controller into the wall over and over again wasn't all that realistic as was his lifting and swinging it around.

Though hitting the TV and pulling back the hits because he was conciously thinking about it breaking is real.
I have done that at once...

It amazes me that these 12 - 18 year olds have such a foul vocabulary  ::)

And its not all like that, but there are some pretty stupid people playing Halo 2 (as with almost any online FPS)

The 2nd video looks TOTALLY staged! Looking at the action on the screen, there's no time between when Croyt dies and when he respawns.

Yea but you guys don't seem to realize that this doesn't happen often.

I don't play alot eathir but its not because of people like that.
Infact i MAYBE ran into one person like that when i played
But they where not nearly to that extent.

I got a kick out of people who where like that anyways.

True I hate the f'ing cheaters. They ruin it for me. I called a complete stranger in a GameStop an asshole because he said he cheated.

A few people that worked there, a few customers and myself where standing around chatting.  The topic went to Halo2 2 and one of the costumers said he cheated. I looked at him and said  "oh you are the type of ass hole that ruins the game for other people". I then walked away as everyone kind of stared at me.

I've run into a ton of people like that.  I think they make the game more fun.  Usually you run into people like that in rumble pit.  As soon as they start screaming like that, it is pretty much understood that everybody is going to hunt that guy.  I love nothing more than irritating people like that to the point that they try to look me up to fight.

Thats why there is such a thing as clans to weed out the the spazzes and cheaters so  you dont have to pub with people like that.

And when playing a clan match and you go against cheaters.

Not really if one person used any cheats you would be disqualified and most of the tournament servers and stuff use programs like punker buster to stop cheating on most games.

I know I'm just saying dont dismiss all online games because that kind of stuff doesnt happen in all of them.

Agreed. Sometimes I've gotten my ass kicked really bad at Halo 2 online and it can be frustrating, but few people are ritalin poster boys like that Croyt guy.

I also didn't like playing because I only play about 1-2 hours a day (when I did play) so I sucked. Thats meant I just got my ass kicked so it was no fun.

Unfortunatley, I won't be playing online until I get a 360 because I canceled my account last month and my little brothers account is over the day after Christmas.  I was just never online so I couldn't rationalize shelling out another $50.

Once my girlfriend and I buy a house (hopefully this summer) then I'll get it even if I don't have a 360.

Hmmm, before Christmas I have to go online and get the downloadable content for a bunch of my games.
