12 Types Of Online Gamers

The world of online gaming can be a scary place at times. When gaming online, you can find some of the best multiplayer games you’ll ever have. But at the same time, you also find some of the oddest people who society tries to forget about. Take a little look at the 12 types of online gamers you will find whilst playing online.

12. The Child Gamer

You know how it goes. You get home from a long day at work and you just want to grab a beer, sit down and play some games. You start up a good old game of Halo and then you hear him….or it. The child, whose voice will cut though you like a chainsaw. Now I’ve played some games with kids before and around 40% of them know how to play. They will work in a team, provide team mates with cover and overall be a good player and not annoy anyone. These kids I have no problem with. It’s the kids who scream into the mic and are just little bastards in general that are the problem. They love to call every other player “gay” or “fag” and have the mouth of a trucker. They will always be at hand however, to come and teabag your dead character; regardless if they even killed you or not. Perhaps the worst thing about these kinds of children is, sadly they are unavoidable. And the best thing we can do against them is use our “mute” buttons.

11. Mr Rage

You don’t even need to be playing online to spot these kind of players. You’ll see them stuck in traffic swearing and screaming, whilst rocking their car from side to side. Meet one of these players online and be prepared for some ear damage, they will run round screaming and making noises so annoying that you may want to stab your own ear drums. Failing that, a good mute is in order. Now I’m all up for letting off a bit of steam while playing online. But these guys take it too far!. If you kill him from behind or with a sniper, he will let you know about it. You take too long to set up a game, you’ll know about it. Basically anything you do that doesn’t involve you dying, he will complain about it; mainly with swear words and with some screaming. Lucky for us, these kind of players normally quit the game around about 20 minutes in; most likely due to being Idle from having a heart attack.

10. The Better Gamer

You decide to play your favourite game online. You love this game and you are really good at it. But there’s a problem…there’s this one person. This one person is better than you, you look at his gamer card, he owns all the games you do and has a higher gamer score on all of these games too. A tad annoying, but you have to admire these players. And best of all, you always know that you are going to have a really good match against such a player. You both know the maps well, you both know every tactic and where each health pack and weapon is. But no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to beat them. And when you finally get to beat them that one time, you are so happy that it doesn’t even matter if they kick your ass another 50 times.

9. The Mic Spammer

I always seem to come across these players. They either just stand still in the game, or run around playing music into the mic. They want you to hear how awesome their taste in music is. At least with PC gaming, mic spamming can be turned into something amusing if you have the right sense of humour for it.

8. The Girl Gamer

You hear a girl talk down the mic and you know what’s about to go down; stereotyping and a lot of open season comments. Problems arise when girl gamers just wanna do what us guys do, and that’s own some noobs. Some players try to impress the girl. Some just tell her to go back to her DS with Animal Crossing. While others will assume she must suck. They say that about 25% of hardcore gamers are girls and I feel sorry for them when they get abused for just wanting to kick some ass. Most of us started our early gaming years rescuing the damned princess. So with that in mind combined with our masculine instinct, we all think that the girl on our team is talking to us because she wants saving from the other team. This isn’t how it goes because girl gamers can hold their own any day against any player. Treat girl gamers like you would do with any other gaming buddy. She’s not there to impress you guys or to date any of you. She wants your virtual head rolling across the floor.

7. Rambo

You start up your game and go over your game plan with your team. However one member of the team stays quiet, doesn’t say a word. As soon as the game starts, he goes off on his own, doing his own thing. He’s killing whoever he wants. And you best not get in his way or slow him down. This is the Rambo or The Lone Wolf. They selfishly grab all the best pick-ups and have absolutely no hesitation in abandoning team-mates. Pray friendly fire is turned off, otherwise he won’t stop shooting if you mange to get in his way by mistake.

6. The Shy Guy

The Shy Guy(not to be confused with the Mario baddies) is that one gamer who never talks. Be it due to social awkwardness or other reasons, he is completely mute. Sometimes being in a game with a silent gamer can be a bit of a pain. Trying to discuss game plans or just to have a good chat with this gamer isn’t going to happen. Not to say, that if you suggest a tactic, he won’t help you out with it, but it would be nice to get a bit of clarification now and again.

5. The Blamer

These types of gamers suffer from the inability to admit personal culpability. Instead, they choose to fabricate slander to other team members to cover up their own faults. These often come with a side order of swearing, Blamer’s can easily create arguments in the team and will often pick on the weakest member of the team, who is normally the person who defends himself to much or the worst player on the team. Best bet is to just ignore these players.

4. The Griefer

The griefer is someone who will use glitches and abuse game rules to make players on both teams rage. Playful jesters or annoying twats? A mix of both I’d say. They aren’t here to win the game. Their objective is make people mad; and there’s many ways for them to do it. Their tactics usually consist of working with a member of the enemy team to set up traps or using glitches to get players stuck outside of the map. After playing a game with a griefer in the team, prepare to be as irate as a pissed off wasp. Strangely enough, a good way to cheer yourself up is to watch some YouTube videos of other people getting griefed.

3. The Glitcher

Not to be confused with the griefer. The Glitcher or “hacker” as people call them, are those annoying buggers who find glitches in multi-player maps, such as being able to get outside of the map and being able to kill you with you knowing what just happened. There’s many types of glitchers out there; and some will just abuse the game to get most kills so they dominate the leader boards. Then there are those who glitch game lobbies so when the game starts, it’s all messed up.

It’s more than likely that some glitchers will own a modded console. A glitcher can be spotted quite easily. At the start of the game, watch out for any one jumping up and down against a wall or slope. This indicates they are trying to exploit an area of the map, possibly outside of the map for their own advantage.

2. Slow Readers

Slow readers have recently made unpopular by co-op games such as Resident Evil 5 while taking a break from shooting crazy villages and blowing stuff up. The game allows the players to read a few notes and diary’s left by people. Now it’s good to read them, as they help explain the story and makes the player feel more involved in the game. However, when you have a player who takes 15 minutes to read two paragraphs of text, you are going to start get irritated. Not to say people who are slow readers are bad at games or anything, it’s just for the other player who have read it and are waiting for the slow reader to catch up, it makes the player lose the experience of being in a co-op game at times.

1. The Drill Sergeant

My favourite stereotype of online gamers has to be the “Drill Sergeant” players. They’re loud and intensely serious on winning the game. He will take command over the team, often yelling “LET’S HIT THEM HARD TEAM!” and “GO,GO,GO STORM THE HOUSE!” He most likely spend his time watching World War II films and most likely owns a few air soft guns. In the virtual world, he likes to pretend to be well acquainted with the fundamentals of tactical military maneuvers. But to be fair, this kind of gamer will always play within the rules and put up a darn good fight till the end. Just be sure to not annoy him or he might make you, drop and give him twenty.
