Burnout has always been a great social game for me. It seems like age and sex dont matter on this game and you rarely come accross idiots who shout abuse. But lately it seems that this has been turned on it's head and now I go into lobbies and If im lucky i'll hear someone cough down the mic let alone shout random abuse. Why is it on what used to be such a social game does no one speak anymore? Ah well if anyone wants a game or a room where people actually talk then add me and i'll be more than happy to play. My GT is nismo TK and plz leave a message saying your from the site :)

BT...its good to talk.....
I personally have found this problem......at first i thought it was just me but apparently not......i think the main reason noone speaks is because they are afraid too.....theyre afraid to express there opinions and theyre afraid to pass comments on other racers/tags etc.....WHY because there are alot of strange people on here as soon as you speak you get told to 'shut the kcuf up' whats all that about.....theres also alot of people racing with no headsets too?.....i thought it was me at first because i talk just for the sake of talking half the time i cant stand it when i host a room and nobody speaks TBH id rather kick them out if there not going to contribute to the room......maybe thats why people dont like racing me apart from the fact that i kick there ssa i talk alot whilst doing it....lol....i think talking is vital during games i dont see the point in playing a live game if your not going to talk ..... you may as well just go and player single player and be a billy ...... anyway if you ever see me hosting jump in theres always plenty of conversations/laughs in my rooms i assure you.....and if you find your in a room where no one talks and they all have headsets in do what i do....just talk to yourself.....before the first race is over im sure somebody will have answered you even if it is just to tell you 'to shut the kcuf up'......lol..........i think ive got shares in BT somewhere......''Its good to talk''......

happy talking talking happy talk.
What psyche said really. But when i'm hosting my torarence levels drop dangerously low, monobrowed knuckledraggers need not apply. And also you will get some abuse if you are rubbish, no exceptions. So come join me for a good fun evening of humiliation and abuse. :)

Talking is Vital?
Talking isnt necessarily vital. Its cool if you just want to mess around but many competitive players dont even talk when the competition is sky high. Why? Because the focus is to win and talking can be a distraction. I like rooms that have competition, but I also like rooms that are sometimes quiet because having a quiet room does bring out the best in some racers.
Personally, it doesnt bother me whether you want to talk or not. There's too many people that dont say anything to begin with and prove that they are great racers on the field. I would much rather race those players than do race well rather than those that talk and dont race at all.
So here to ya, if you ever go into my room and I know you can race, it doesnt bother me if you have a mic or not. I wont kick you. I will kick people out who anchor other racers tho. And I truly kick them out with a passion because it isnt fair for those racers who are fast to be dealing with handicap either.

*%&*$#!!!!!!
Those players piss me off. Players that say start the game piss me off. Players that start spewing taunts, cusses, and say theyre the best piss me off when they cant prove themselves online racing. Theyre the first ones to get kicked 100% of the time. Theres also those players who are dashes and 10,000+, they dont piss me off but they sure do test my patience when theyre 3 miles behind and slowing the room down. Those get kicked 95% of the time. See a pattern yet?

I agree
i hate it when they come in your room and theyre all like ''my rank isnt usually this high'' or ''i have another tag which is 3 digits'' or ''i can beat you''.....i kick these people more than anyone......my argument is if you shouldnt have the 6 digit rank your currently owning then it wont take you long to go and get it down before you join later....i had alot of people enter my room under the Swiftstyle tag the other day and they were like ''why you booting me are you scared of the rank loss?'' hell no im scared of the handicap....which could ultimately lead to me losing rank....The worst ones ultimately have to be the ones who are really really quiet in the lobby but the minute you launch......THEY START.......they really ssip me off no end......

Stupid People
Last night was a great example. me and unreal were racing and then this guy starts blasting her off and me off because he wants to compare how much we get paid an hour. He said he was an engineer, 18yrs old, and makes 32.50 an hour.. So were like your point is what? Are you suppose to say that your better than us because you make more money? What da hell is that? Stupid kids dont realize that the real world dont care about how much money you make because people are too busy worrying about their own thing. Personally, I dont make what he makes an hour but I sure make up for it earning 40 on one and 22 on the other.... so whats the difference?
