It's definitely more social on Xbox Live than it is on PSN, that's for sure. On PSN hardly anyone talks and I bet most people don't even have a headset connected.


You're wrong. That may have been true back in 2006. It is now 2012 and many people have headsets. Too many in fact. 

Oh. Truth be told it was almost a year ago I played Call of Duty online (because I hate Call of Duty. It was my friend who forced me).

But I often do play Crysis 2 online on PSN and there's only occasional talk in maybe every 5th match, mostly between two friends who hooked up to socIalize. I have seldom heard any strategy talk on PSN.

There's the problem. According to VgChartz Crysis 2 only sold about 0.94m on PS3. The online community isn't very active. It never was. I have the game so I could check myslef but I'm too lazy.

Well, I find it surprising there are people still playing crisis 2 online on PSN because from what I knew the community died a long time back.

THIS, its like some people are not living in hte year 2012. PS3 uses bluetooth, ANY bluetooth, which I imagine a good portion of adults own at least one. 

OT, cant go wrong with deathmatch and team deathmatch, i like some capture the flag as well.  I have a bluetooth, but i rarely talk as I find I dont need too. Sometimes you get lucky and run into some mature people other times you dont and thats what mute is for.  THe only game I might talk in is Killzone3 because there is some sort of strategy, unless your playing straight up deathmatch



i never had much respect for COD till about 09 thats when i first played cod4, i think they do a good job of also catering to SP only gamers there campaings are short but action packed and theres always other SP only modes like survival mode and spec ops. 

im anti social so communication isnt important, being around more than one person at a time isnt the focus, i play TDM hardcore or freeforall modes in pretty much every MP game.  i dont enjoy trash talking i hardly ever use a mic (imo the trash talking is a bit worse on live compared to psn b/c the user base is bigger and 360 come with mics) i just let my performance speak for itself like i've done on this site with many of my perdition.   if i aint good on a games MP then i wont play it, i dont mute others unless there really loud i like haring them complain that i so called  cheap killed them or whatever.   i like taunting them or only focusing on them during the match to hear there complaints escalate , you have to be calm and focused to be good  while online gaming

i dont have much time with COD MP i have about 100 or so hrs on each of the yearly releases, its health is a bit to low you cant really get out of a gun fight like you could in TPS games like uncharted and the camping is pretty bad on some maps along with the gun balance and kill streaks with shit falling out of the sky all the time

I usually hear people talking on BF3, half of it being strategy talk. I do it with the group I play with. I guess it depends on the game.

I wish I would have gotten BF3 when it was still brand new. I was going to buy it for PC but that never happened because I have yet to buy my new PC. Instead I'm stuck with Crysis 2.



the thread title is asking whether or not call of duty is a social experience online, and you people decide to say, IT'S DEFINATELY MORE SOCIAL ON XBOX LIVE THAN PSN THAT'S FOR SURE....

are you fucking kidding me?
