I agree!!!!!! Both in game and out, people feel the need to be assholes. I think it could be a trait of most 1st person shooters, though. Before biting the bullet and upgrading my PC, I was a hardcore SOCOM player. There is many similarities in the way people conduct themselves in game, and on the forums. It really is very draining, and causes me to not play for weeks at a time for various reasons. Somtimes its all too easy to get sucked into retarded posts about "get the f out of my heli." and things like "don't fly the f---ing jet unless you are me" type posts. In reality its people that are frustrated because they are getting killed or they lose a lot. They blame anyone or anything (especially EA.)

For the future I can only try to steer away from such posts, but I think most people aren't above telling sombody how stupid they are every once in a while.  Somtimes I feel like when people bitch for no reason that EA may revert things back to how they once were (for example all the AA crybabys.) In this case I feel its encouraged to jump in a topic and make it known that this isn't the view of most people. Only chopper whores in this paticular example.
