Well, it is fairly natural (no pun intended) that the older NS players will consider the high pitched voices of younger players not really worthy of listening to. Why? Because too often you get young players who are being really immature and annoying. Now I'm NOT saying that all young gamers are like that, but you do run into enough of them that it tends to "taint" the group as a whole. If you really want to avoid the problem, don't use your voice mic, seriously most of us can't understand the damn things anyway, and just play around normally. People will respect you if you do a good job, I've been playing under a commander who's 10 for Flayra's sake and he's damn good. If you can't stand to play without a mic then you're probably going to catch some flak. I'd probably recommend playing for a while without the mic, show that you're good and compitent, then start using it. People will generally still respect you after they see you're a mature player, and those who don't arn't worth listening to anyway. Also, like has been said earlier, you do get a lot of older wankers as well. I don't think we should ban kids from playing NS because idiocy and immaturaty can be found across the whole age spectrum. But kids, remember to tell your younger friends NOT to play N-Sync over their mics all game, it just cements the view that young gamers are immature.

The game just ended and I belive the Marines won (which was the team I was on.) Anyways, as we all popped in the waiting room. We here this little kids voice and some of us start laughing and we ask his age and so on. He was a semi-skilled player, but about 10-20 seconds later; the admin kicked him. hahah
Wooo for admins! I Love thee! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Alright...what i think the original poster is trying to mention is maturity level. If not then this is a stupid post. Why?
Because me and my brother play this game all the time. My brother is 10 years old. He plays every online game i do. From battlefield 1942 to halflife and the mods. No he isn't a psychopath, he hasn't brought a gun to school, etc etc. Because why? A game is meant for fun, entertainment. Not to be taken literally. From what your post says you are just whining about the maturity level. I have seen people over the mic that have voices of say 20+ year olds that are as big a wanker as some of the whiney little kids that play. Age has nothing to do with it. If it wasn't for the mic then you'd never tell the differance. Hell half the time my brother can completly own me left and right in NS. He follows orders the commander gives him, doesn't troll the armory, or anything like that. He has even commanded and won. Don't give me the BS about little kids and maturity because your post doesn't represent it very much.
probably already said, but the only thing i hate with kids that play's is when they are using the voice comm... god i hate it.. that light freaking voice... grrrrrrrrr....
especially thoose that just don't stop talking... and thoose that starts screaming everytime they see a freaking fade.. "AAAAHHHHH"
die **** DDDIIIIEEEEE.. or just odn't use the voice comm <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
This kind of **** really annoys me, there are 'children' out there who make you look like a monkey in clothes Otto. (hell 'normal' people can prolly do that pretty well)
And yet you're happy to sit there and say that they should ALL go away cos they've got a voice that annoys you..
Quite frankly thats BS.
If you care more about communications presentation than its content I really cannot find words (certainly ones that won't get filterd) to discribe how low a person I think you are.
If you want some perspective you're in applaying the only form of bigotry you can in NS. Just as bad as judging on a person irl by 'race', sex, disability or age.
Actually BlueGhost if you read other posts in the topic I clear up that initial statement, people with squeaky voices dont annoy me at all. Annoying people with squeaky voices annoy me.
On my server, one of the regulars has a high-pitched sometimes squeaky voice. They play pretty well, and definitely are a team player. But I get Wankers on who hear Vix's voice and start demanding that I kick the kid.
What they don't realize is that she's a 24yr old WOMAN.
If you have a problem with someone's voice comms, then mute them.
(How to mute is here: <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=14095&hl=mute&st=0' target='_blank'>How To Mute Thread</a>)
And if a player is really abusing voice comms, you can use clanmod, or my AdminMod plugin to shut off their microphone.
...
In short, it's not really kids that you're upset about, it's griefers, know-it-alls, and |337 \/\/4|\|k0rZ that get to you.
Well, they annoy us all. We just don't bother to post about it. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
