is speaking spanish bad??
I would like to know why so many people throw a hizzy fit when they hear anyone speaking anything other than English on a room before the game starts, given though, this only happens on social games, when the games are ranked you can't hear the other team until the end of the game, but regardless, i find it childish for gamers to go buck wild, insult you automatically think you're Mexican when you enter a room speaking in Spanish (nothing wrong with Mexicans) its just that i'm from another country not remotely related to it, i find it hard to believe that at this day and age we still have people ( young kids at that) that are throwing racial comments out in the air, barely even knowing what some of the terms mean.
At the end of the day what matters is your performance in the game, not your country of birth and the language you speak, the games are scored based on how many people you killed and how many times you died, is funny how fast people are to talk trash, but its funnier how much faster it is for them to leave when they are loosing the game or have lost the game for that matter, stay and chat, let me know how embarrassed you are that after all the cr*p you said, you got your *ss handed to you in a game, not saying i'm a great player, i just enjoy the game, obviously i'm better than some people and some people are better than me, but that's just the way life goes.
This is not a request for all you trash talkers to apologize, i could care less about that, i'm one of the biggest trash talkers out there, and i talk trash regardless of winning or loosing, but i also give credit where credit is due, i dont throw a racial slur and leave the room just because i got beat by someone whose language i dont understand, i believe the gaming community should be over this by now, its a stupid issue and should be approached more maturely. i've been sent so mush negative feedback from guys that got whooped after talking trash, goes to show you the maturity.
to my other foreign language speakers out there, keep on handing out those *ss whoopings, because that's the only way you can retaliate the negative comments.

lol 8 year old ! that's kinda young to play that game. just to stay on topic with the language... someone on my list is from a spanish speaking country and I wanted to invite him to my game (was already in a party with my friend who is french/english/spanish speaking. so I asked my friend to tell the guy (in spanish) to plug is microphone in so they could communicate together... nothing wrong with that. you don't have to listen nor reply. you either ignore or mute.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] LegalGh0St I know my accent is really bad, I know that I have a limited English vocabulary but, at lease try to understand me, I know what i need to defend me in the game, Get the bomb,flag, Ill cover you; good game,Thank you, etc. Don't quit, betray me if talk differently, I'm a Decent halo player and very humble too. I'm Puerto Rican and proud of it. :D[/quote]you should be, man. racism is pretty f***ed up. i was in a game and this guy was make racial remarks about how a certain race (trying to avoid the specifics) had stolen halo and how they cheat and everything. hope he gets banned.

Yes, for example last night I played a commander, who openly admitted (and sounded like it) that he was only 8 years old. When me and my freind beat him, boy, you should've heard the things comming out of this kids mouth. Pathetic how some people think they are garunteed a win over lower ranked people then themselves.

No offense. This is to both xplatinum1 and GweeTheRipper.[/quote] being racist would be more like saying that they are ALL like that. There's a difference between being racist and talking about personal experience. I have never came across a spanish speaking person making fun of french people (since mexicans wouldn't quite work here). I know alot don't do it, but those I had the previlege to come across were in fact americans. I never in my life insulted someone wether in a game or in real life over the language they speak or the country they are from. every single time i speak with my friend in french and someone english-speaking tries to bash us I just tell them to stfu... then the immaturity starts on their end. making stupid noises with their mouth and acting like a 5 year old. meh nothing new its like that in every game ive played online. in halo2 some would even QUIT the match when they realised they were playing with 2 french speaking players. sad i tell ya. also been told to shut the hell up because i wasn't speaking their language (english)... like its a rule or something. LIVE AND LET LIVE ffs. [Edited on 10.12.2007 9:41 PM PDT]

It does hurt in team games though because you can't tell them where to go. Just like what louie said earlier. [Edited on 10.12.2007 9:34 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Dream053 I have no problem with people of another language. However, if you know English as well as Spanish... and you're the only bilingual one on your team... allow us to communicate with you properly, or you're a jackass.[/quote] Tru7h

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HaloMan360 If you don't like hearing it just mute them.[/quote] Yes, but there is more point to this topic then just the purpose of muting them.

If you don't like hearing it just mute them.

T E A M W O R K I hate it when i'm trying to snipe the bomb/flag guy before the game winning point and my teammates are too busy having a fiesta in our base to tell me where he is. I don't mind that they're speaking a different language, I just hate when they ignore everyone else.

Agreed, people need to grow up. I seldomly find anyone online of any race that I can not stand but mute after 30 seconds in the pre-game lobby. What annoys me most though is these trash talking 8 year olds who think they are all that.

To ArbeitMatchtFrei While we're on the subject of race and language, has anyone taken offense to your gamertag? [Edited on 10.12.2007 9:26 PM PDT]
