Bungie Saves Online Play For Veteran Gamers



 
  Have you ever been excited to get home because you knew that you had some time to game tonight only to have it ruined by a 10 year old being a schmuck?  No, not YOUR 10 year old...the one that you ended up through current gen matchmaking.  They're a rapid virus that have spread through multiplayer and have honestly stopped veteran gamers from playing online.  Let's go through some of the annoying kids before I tell you the good news.

-  THE SINGER - yes, you have the DB's out that that think since there is a microphone in front of their face its time to turn up their radio and belt out some tunes while playing.  These annoying bastards ruin game play for other players on their teams and can sometimes cause lag issues.

-  THE VIRTUAL TOUGH GUY - These are actually my favorite at times.  You can really get them going.  When I was a bit younger a fellow gamer and I used to taunt these guys to see just how mad you could make them.  The best is when you get them so mad that their screaming and their mommy comes in to tell them to quiet down and everyone can here it!

-  THE ROMEO - These losers hear a girls voice in the room and hound them.  The best is when they immediately say "You're Hot" after the female gamer says "Hi".  During the match up they will proceed to pepper the female gamers with questions about sex.  These basement dwellers would piss themselves if a girl actually spoke to them IRL. 

  Ok, that was fun but on to the good news.  Bungie's new game Destiny revealed that they will have a new type of matchmaking that allows you to enter semi-personal information to help them match you up with players more your style.  By semi-personal information I mean age, Martial status, kids, and how often you can play.  This is a huge step forward toward recognizing that the average age gamer is 28 now and that there are a large amount of adult gamers that are missing out on the multiplayer action.  So if you are interested in giving multiplayer another try think about picking up Bungie's newest title Destiny which will release later this year for both next gen and current gen consoles.
