HAY GUYS

1. Ridiculously young characters. I'm sick of playing as 14-17 year old kids who have the maturity, mentality and wisdom of someone 10+ years older than them. The adults are either too weak, retired, dead or otherwise bad guys so its up to the teenagers to save the world. -_-

Yes. God yes.

My personal bitching begins and usually ends with snipers. Used properly, they can change the balance of power really quick (As in TF2), but most of the people that are drawn to snipers are Counterstrike fucktards that want to camp the spawn points, pitch a tent in their pants, and then leave.

Sniping in Battlefield 2 is the worst, really. Contributes next to nothing to the team, but still allows people to make pwnage videos so they have something to jerk off to when they're not busy staring at a full body mirror.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I can also say that a lot play them because they get special treatment if they roleplay a female character. I've met a few disturbing people like that. When they refuse to speak on ventrilo or teamspeak, that's usually a good indication. I was one of the few who insisted on the "guy until proven otherwise" rule on this one guy, and after 6 months it turned out he was a guy.

Well, there are perfectly normal people who might like the female model options, as well. Myself, for example. I play solo a lot, so I don't give a shit if somebody's trying to get a piece of virtual ass or not. I just don't want my char looking like a cro-magnon man, which is the usual trend. Sometimes the female models really are just more appealing to look at.

It can also make for some interesting background text depending on the game's story. Playing a female Captain in LOTRO is kind of interesting because originally captains were only going to be male. So, when I rolled that char, I made her backstory fit some of the subtextual stuff that was going on. Gender politics, and so on. To me, that makes the game more interesting than it would be normally.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
