A gun sounds the same in any language.

I don't mind dropping into 'other languages' but don't expect me to understand turkish/arabic or whatever. I can understand English/German/Dutch/French so pick 1. I think a normal greeting would be ok to figure out what language to speak.

And i think there should be a possibility to MUTE OTHER PEOPLE! I couldn't care less about little Billy having to clean his room.

I don't care but I'll usually leave a lobby if 2-3 people are speaking a language I don't understand.

i don't care what language someone is speaking, as long as they with speak actions, they speak the same language as I do. They don't even have to say much, just,

I am here to WIN!

I play ME3MP to play the game and win the game. Nothing besides this games bugs and BS would ****** me off more than a person running their mouth over something non-related to the game, and just literally being a horrible player. There is nothing wrong with socializing, but the game isnt BSN forums or facebook or twitter.

I've met alot of people lately that "Oh I remember you" from BSN. I don't pay them much attention if they can't hold their weight, I talk about things here, and play the game when Iz playing the game. I don't even accept party invites from strangers in pub lobbies. Been branded as anti-social a couple times by people in the game.

I just speak the language that bares a tastier fruit than words.

What do you guys think of people who speak a non-English language in a public PUG? I wish everyone would speak English in public ones, and have private teams for your own language. And I am not a native English speaker, but it's annoying to get my headset and mic on, only to hear enthusiastic and constant debates going on in German/Italian/Finnish without me being able to participate, contribute or understand what they are talking about. 


stop right there

I wouldn't consider it courtesy to expect everyone to speak english, but it definitely makes things easier if everyone speaks a language that everyone understands, which is often english.

This. If you want to talk with someone so badly that it hurts you to hear someone chatting and you unable to participate - you have a problem.

I'm more concerned with people leaving their mic active at all times without even saying a thing, just breathing, coughing and blow-nosing into it. If I'll meet such a person again - I swear I will reroute worst piece of music I able to find into my own mic.

Duh.... Next there will be a post about how "English speakers should speak with XXX (insert you favored target to bash) accent. I can't understand a word they are saying otherwise!"

After that there will be a "English speakers should stop using XXX (insert favored target to bash) slang. I can't understand what they say when they tell me i'm taking the ****** (insert slang)!"

Exactly what serker said. Hate listening to people breathe for an entire match, or eat chips and belch. Though a couple days ago I got to listen to a kid get ****ed out by his mom, that was pretty funny.

It's always cool to hear German, especially the cursing.  It can sound angrier than any other language I think.


Wooooooo scheiße, Kalas!! I almost can't believe it! If you want to hear some German cursing again, you're more then welcome to join us again! Who knows, maybe you can even catch a whiff of French, Spanish & Russian cursing as well ;) I'm currently not able to play because I drove home for christmas (insert jolly christmas tune right here) but I'll be back on in a couple of days.

@topic:

I don't really care what language people speak. I like hearing different languages and trying to figure out what is said. Especially cursing in a foreign language is always nice.
Although I must say, sometimes I feel like I'm being unpolite. Usually I'm playing with a group that is relatively German-heavy (I'm German myself) so we tend to speak German a lot, even though when some of my buddies from France, Russia, Puerto Rico´, Chile or whatever are in the party as well. I never heard one of them complain about us speaking a lot of German then, but I still feel like it's unpolite.
Sometimes it's weird and inconsistent, because sometimes even when the group is mostly German, we'll speak English to make it easier for our buddies and when the group is more international we tend to speak more German ;) I don't know why, it's really weird ;)

Only two things bother me from players with mics on: First, a lot of groans, shouts, curses etc. Second, when they have the mic next to their computer speaker, so I hear the games announcements twice.

Only very rarely do I hear a player use the mic for helpful game info.

Retarded thread.

<stupid map snipped>


Retarded, predictably anti-American reply. Guy said his first language isn't English -- does that sound like an American? Even then, are Americans the only English speakers in the world? Why is it that anti-Americans think Americans are the only ethnocentric people in the world, when ethnocentrism is a trait ALL humans share?

/antiantiamericanrant

Honestly, when I'm playing a PUG, I'd much rather play with people with a language I don't understand than with some annoying **** whose bulls**t I can perfectly understand. Obviously, I'd rather play with someone without a mic at all. Better still, someone with a mic who knows how to use it and not be annoying. Which is such an endangered species on PUGs.


That reminds me of when I was working as a janitor early mornings before going off to college classes. In the end I enjoyed 'banda' music in spanish better than mainstream 'hip hop' in english... and those were the two types of music that I ended up with depending on who the other janitor was for that shift. So something you don't understand can end up being half as annoying as something that you can understand.

I don't like when people talk too much in any language, but sometimes it's fun ) I remember one time I've played with a guy with a strong arabian (or greek maybe) accent. He was usually dying first, and than he starts to comment very emotionally. So, we were playing against Reapers, everyone is dead except one another guy. He was shooting from cover and didn't notice Banshee behind him. And then that emotional guy began to scream: "The witch! The witch!". It was too late for our teammate, but we all were laughing )

This thread makes me sad. Not because of the poorly worded first post, but because nobody seems to get that it wasn't intended to be offensive. Lets look at this with a bit of logic instead of just insulting it. It is completely unreasonable to expect that everyone can speak every language, that just won't happen. That means that no matter how many languages you can speak, there will always be some you don't understand. while speaking to each other isn't a requirement, and can sometimes be very irritating, it usually helps make the games faster and in my opinion, more fun. Given those two facts, the best solution is to speak a common language. if you look at a truly random sample of people in the world, you will find more people speaking mandarin that any other language. That would seem to imply that mandarin would be the most likely common language to have right? It's not that simple. If you look at the forums for different languages, you can see that the english one is the largest by a factor of 1000 and mandarin isn't even large enough to have it's own forums. That is still not a true sample of the player base, but is closer than counting everyone in the world. There is also the factor that while mandarin is primarily a first language, and therefore centralized in a relatively small area, english is also largely a second language, making it more widely spoken than mandarin, even if there are fewer total speakers. Taking that into account, english becomes the most common language spoken in the game and becomes the best candidate for a common language.

I think its very impolite to communicate with your friend in a public match in a language the other two team mates do not understand. Few sentences (game related) from time to time are fine with me, but if you keep rambling the whole freakin match in Polish or French, you are being rude and annoying. Thats the only case when I DO MIND someone speaking other language than english.

If there are 3 Norwegians all speaking in Norwegian and you have an English guy drop in, are you saying the 3 Norwegians should all speak English out of courtesy, or they should go into private chat?

Yes, actually, I do. If I wanted to speak Norwegian I should go with a private team. But again, I bring that attitude from work, where a meeting with four Norwegians and one guy from Netherlands/England/Aussie would be enough for all to speak English. I'm just used to it. Because if you don't do it, the one (or two) team member not from that country would be left out. I don't think that 's good team spirit. 

Thats work same thing doesn't apply to games
