The title says it all. I'm not one to brag. In fact I'm not bragging at all. I stopped playing Halo 3 online a month ago because the boys would not stop being soo rude. Dirty messages, invites to "parites" where all the guys pick on me, even games where I was betrayed by an entire team til I betrayed back and got booted. So this time after my team left me to fend for myself I got even. Literally. I recommend a game like this instead of a fight on your headset. On the end menu the blue team was sorry they picked a fight with a girl after-all. But that didn't help me. I got even and I got bummed. Still bummed.

Holy Cow! Good Job. I wish I was that good. I usually don't talk much especially in the later parts of the day. It seems like people don't have their heads up their asses as much in the morning and afternoon, so that is usually when I talk. I only do in team, after seeing the attitudes of the people. OR if I am with friends :D

Nice work.

I know how you feel and it really use to bother me. I just mute, ignore, file complaints and move on. There is nothing more you can do but not play the game. Piff, I decided I wouldn't allow those pervs to ruin my gaming experience. I just got better at the game and would pwn their butts if they were on the other team. I work all day and pay a lot for my internet. I won't give them the satisfaction, response or attention they are seeking.

I do find it easier to handle if you go in with a few friends.

Edit:

Umm, is this a second account? From what I saw in your game history, you were playing against very low level peeps. I find it unusual for someone that is only a sergeant, high skill of 8, with only 241 total exp, to be putting up those kind of numbers in a game.

I'm not trying to be rude or anything. I don't enjoy playing with or against jerks but if it is a second account, I don't find it cool to be boasting about pwning low level peeps even if they were jerks.

That's just a pet peeve of mine.

I've actually only had like... One guy... since '06 (when I started playing online) give me lip about being a girl. Of course, I do get some lip about being a lesbian and a girly-girl and having my wife be a girly-girl, but most of the time it's joking around from friends. I feel rare >.> Or maybe it's because I don't play on Xbox Live and just MMOs and what not. If I DID have a guy give me lip, I'd say "Yes, girls play. So does my wife. And we kick ass... Ta!" raspberry

Nope it's my one and only account. I was only averaging 12 kills a game for the longest time and I was also surprised to see my total in this round. Since I haven't been playing the last month I'm affraid to see how bad I'll do now! grrr It takes a few days of warming up to the game before I get 12 kills a round.

Edit: It did help that I was the only one left they were hunting. It seemed the worst round for me ever too cause I didn't know that map. Only had Halo 3 and not the multiplayer disk for the longest time. I don't think they did a bad job, but I do think they were just as equally new to that map as I.

i've been playing live since halo 2 and can honestly say nothing has really changed over the years. unfortunately boys will be boys and i just prepare myself for the next generation of rudeness...

depending on the day and mood i'm in and who i'm playing with - i mostly shut the voices off of the tv and don't wear my headset

Woohoo for kicking butt with a first account!

Sometimes it takes me at least 7 games to get warmed up. I played Mw2 for about 3 months straight and found I did better in H3 by taking that break.

You should be kicking butt when Reach drops !

Some of you ladies are lucky to not hear a lot of crap from the guys. I've played 8,702 games of Halo 3 and believe me, I've heard it all.
