Local Call of Duty players show their ugly side

2 min read

Which troll are you?

I’ve previously written about the seedy underbelly of the local DOTA 2 community, which includes hatred, disdain and racism. We’ve always known it wasn’t unique in that regard, but seeing as it’s possibly the largest community it does dominate the news.

However this weekend I was also involved in, and made aware of, another despicable side of the industry and that’s within our local Call of Duty gamers. The first incident comes from a local twitter user, @SuspiciousZA.

To keep those in the loop he is referring to the RiZe debacle where they included two non local players in the local COD qualifiers.

Now don’t get me wrong, I think what RiZe did was disgusting and they should shut down their clan and move on for the betterment of all. But sinking down to racist jabs and refusing to apologise when it is pointed out is definitely worse.  Not to mention he then goes on to threaten people with his lawyers and a whole bunch of other nonsense.

Next up I was doing some recordings of the new maps in the Devastation DLC when, after a particularly useless game for me against better opposition, I received the following voice message. Warning the kid uses some pretty bad language.

So while I was doing the editing on the rest of the videos I found the guy on Twitter and the conversation was quite hilarious, if you have the time to read through after removing your brain.

Click on the time link to see the conversation.

Now the video is enough proof to get Albert kicked from Xbox Live but I’m hoping a bit of public naming and shaming may have a better effect.

He’s never going to admit it but let’s see if he thinks twice before sending childish abuse out after losing a game, especially broadcasting it to all opposition players. I don’t have the concentration span to camp, also it’s boring as hell, which I guess is why I suck so badly at Call of Duty.

    Also, after reading some (not all, since that will break my brain, its soooo soooo bad) of that guys twitter feed, I really do feel glad that I don’t have to deal with people like that.

    Albert Smith, you are a disgrace to gaming, and to humanity. May you become a better person.

    Great stuff Albert! Your father and mother must be real proud. They raised a true champ at COD. That is what life is all about. Make sure you put it on your CV when applying for a job as a cleaner at your local Checkers, because with your intelligence (or lack thereof), you sure as fuck ain’t going to be successful at anything else.

    I’m always amused by bad losers, especially those that talk crap about their own team mates – if you’re so damn good you should make up for them shouldn’t you, so why didn’t you?

    Also don’t understand what’s so terrible about losing a game online, firstly IT’S A GAME & secondly it’s not like you’ll always win. I lose all the damn time, sometimes with really bad KD ratios, other times I kick ass all the way to the bank. Win some/lose some.

    I just have 1 question. How is it bad for him to drop choice comments ingame at you, but the entire lazy gamer community can take jabs at him? So far I have read how he is scum, sleeping with his mom, a coward and much more. Just shows that it’s every internet based community that gets carried away. I understand that articles like this bring to light the fact that something needs to happen but using the LazyGamer following to “get back” at someone who hurt your feelings is a little shallow (And yes you knew this is what the community would do)

          only 95% such a low figure? Woah. Who’d have thought. There are 5% serious comments on Lagz? That’s insane man!

          #onaseriousnote: That would actually be a very interesting stat. To see how many comments are actually relevant per article.

      Have a look and you will see that most comments are actually being sarcastic or purposefully being aimed at the way the media sees CoD players (aka: bad grammar, vocabulary etc; )

      But you will also see many other comments that actually are well put together and show a distaste for people who act like that and aren’t making nasty comments. There is a huge mix of comments here and by generalising the comments section you are also making a mistake of labeling an entire community just like you are saying it’s bad for Lazygamer to do with this kid/guy

      That’s a fair point. At the same time, if you want to talk trash you should be prepared for a response – especially when it’s out in the open. But there’s lines on both sides to be sure.

    My two cents… Personally I have no issues with naming and shaming. However I think that many of the comments on this article are very close to cyber bullying, just my opinion, this is a teenage kid apparently, and who of us have never made a mistake? And lastly, Gavin, I am disappointed in you. Allowing yourself to get into a twitter argument with a kid, you are meant to be a community peer. But you allow yourself to be dragged down to the lowest common denominator, and by association LG.Net, come on – a simple tweet saying you had the recording and letting him know where to find it, in my humble opinion, would have been best.

    Let’s be honest… ALL of this is caused by the fact that people’s true nature comes out when they have anonymity or at least they think they are untouchable… No way in HELL that, that kid would say that to your face.

    In the end it is not the specific game that brings out the assholes. They have always been there and now they are just ruining it for the rest of us…

        I can imagine… But in any situation where they think they are untouchable they tend to act like that.

        At least in a public space I can rip into the person psychologically since I am not one for physical violence.

        I just don’t get why people need to be complete AHOLES to complete strangers without even the littlest of provocation.

    Gavin, I think you should push to have this tard banned from Xbox as well as the shaming.

    Personally, I’m a camper in alot of FPS games, it’s what I enjoy doing sometimes (each to their own).
    I keep all the different personal messages asking me to eat assorted bags of penises etc (I have that message in 3 different languages). Those messages form part of my personal trophy system (I have Platinums in most FPS’s).

    Why would you want to get in a CoD Kiddy fight? Nevertheless, I still found it to be highly entertaining, there are a few golden comments there. This is why I love gaming: “your a fucking father of 2 you still play cod omg your wife probably doesn’t love you unless you pay her or make her drunk”

    Why do you want him to get banned? We used to play like that the whole time a few years back and the bad mouthing from the kiddies kept it entertaining.
