Call of Duty 4, Hardcore Sabotage. As usual, my opponents got severely pissed off because they kept dying; after a while they started calling me names. But the thing is, when you call a girl gamer "gay," she doesn't find it offensive at all. So I continued killing them happily -- it was very fun.
We won a game without much trouble and started a new game in a different map. This map just so happened to be our opponents' favorite map, and then... well, the trouble started. They started getting really, really mad.
[dialogue rendered in decent English]
Them: Fucking campers!
Me: LOL
Them: You're only winning 'cause you're camping!
Jake: New game, our clan versus yours.
Them: Naaaah you're all just campers!
Me: If we're camping how come we keep on planting the bomb in your base?
Them: ...
When the game was almost over (just one point needed to score) they kept trying to vote for a map restart. LOL.
A while later my brother (one of our team's bomb planters) and I were talking about the game and our opponents' clan in general. He noted that our opponents actually camped more than we -- technically, me, since I was the only defender on our team -- did. I remember there was this time I was playing against them and one of my teammates scored two points for us in under 5 minutes. The next round all of them (no, srsly, all of them) were holed up in their base waiting for us to rush them. Over ten people in a single building, haha. Camp much?
Honestly though, I don't understand why guys find it so damn wrong to keep dying to me. For some strange reason I keep pissing people off when I play, but... I don't see any problems with my gameplay; after all, I play to win, which means killing enemy planters and assaulters and whatnot. I don't think it's unfair: it isn't that hard to kill campers, I do it myself when I'm in bomb support mode. Also, one-man defense -- since I'm usually the only defender -- is very easy to counter. If I get 20-kill streaks is it really my fault? Besides, what do they want me to do, roll over and die?

One of these days I'm going to write an essay on sexism in competitive games. One of these days.

| Haha, I dunno. When I play Team Deathmatch games and go into assault mode I die a lot, but it's fun! |
