This is exactly what's wrong with online gaming. I am a *very* casual,
occasional computer game player, and there doesn't seem to be
anywhere I
can go for online gaming. I bought Battelfield2, which looks great,
but
has limited single player scope. But the second I get online I get
fragged by some pimply teen on the other side of the world who has
spent
literally thousands of hours accumulating rank, weapons as well as
actual experience/skill at the game (and he probably has a better
video
card giving him a clearer view of the battlefield). I almost never see
how I got killed, so I give up and go back to older single player
games...
In defense of NFSU2, the game does offer a mode where you can join in
games with players of similar capabilities. There just don't happen to
be any for this game (any more?).
On the other hand, it's not much fun to be up against some OCD case who
has nothing better to do with his time than destroy all comers.
There are times I feel that way in certain online communities: open
your mouth and it's very quickly shut by the local expert. Thankfully,
we only have a pair of those here.
Let's see if we can smoke one out, shall we: God is real.
