No. You should use VOIP to talk to your squad members how you feel. After all it's all their fault.

lmao... I used to have this problem, still slam my desk sometimes but usually it's with other games (Like CS, the most frustratingly fun game on the planet). I think the reason behind that is that when playing a faster paced game, you'll usually pump out a lot more adrenaline through your system, which can slightly alter your behavior I believe. Though with PR that seems impossible, the game is just too slow paced to actually get that way over.

another thing i should mention is that i find it most annoying when playing on albasrah against those insurgent mother fkers its a game i know and i'm playing against people who in other instances have been team mates on other maps but they are anonymous when they are your enemy , i find the insurgents really irritating and there in game voices harsh cwaycumballa fk off i always have in the back of my mind that in reality these ck suckers are killing and maiming our boys in iraq and afgan and i suppose it hits a raw nerve in short i hate losing /getting killed by insurgents in game and i lose it sometimes lol.

I made a dent on the side of my computer case after waiting 20 minutes for a A-10, only for some random tank in the hills shot it...

Go to the doctors and get one of those chill pills all the kids nowadays seem to be recommending prescriptions for.

After that you need to get a mic to play this game properly though, can get a nice piece of high quality Chinese sound engineering for about £/$10

I've got some cheap-*** mic for 2$ and it still works just fine

It's better to let a few F words go of then behave like the famous German kid

Getting pissed about something happening in a game, even more so when you've put time/effort in it is normal.
But acting physical to it, or being unable to control yourself for more then a few seconds means you are expressing a more profound frustration.

Games are a good way of just letting go, but they'll at best just let you get a bit of steam off.

So yeah you might want to think about it and try to act on the causes before you start acting like this in more RL situations

So its ok that americans kill insurgens, but not the other way around?

Heh, MastaLock and I always "talk about our feelings" when we are on long hikes through the woods or after one of us kills someone. You gotta talk that stuff out or it'll mess you up in the long run...

Take it easy and get a drink on the respawn.

Or counseling, but we'll have to wait til .9 or maybe even 1.0 for that.

Beta blockers for before you play, Diazepan for after if you get uncontrollably mad

See your doctor for help controlling your rage!

But seriously, learn to laugh more. Or get even!

Americans , Dutch , British , Australian the more the merrier in my opinion which im entitled to i dont think they are killing enough of them as its dragging on a bit these cowards cant fight face to face as they know that they are inferior skills wise in combat so they resort to car bombs or suicide bombings in the belief that they are going to have a roll in the hay with 70 virgins ha brainwashed idiots so yeah it is ok for them to kill insurgents just wish they'd cut their heads off or torture them first which im sure you will agree is a lovely pastime lol ps i can see from the amount of posts youve placed that youre an avid forums reader so no doubt you will have something smart to respond with looking forward to it waa waaah lol.

LOL so skills make it fair. Not the millions of pounds we spend on technology e.g. apaches, challengers, body armour. They spend $10 on a bit of sticky tape and a watch and blow the **** out of our million pounds worth of tech. They're just trying to level the battlefield in their favour. So yeah they fight dishonourably in your eyes but to them maybe sitting in a Chopper 4km away and launching guided missles is dishonourable. It's all about points of view my friend...

Chill. Watch your tongue. You might not agree with them, but they're still human beings.

This thread runs the risk of a lock because it makes me depressed and it's not of any value other than allowing spears to spout hate. If you can talk about the feelings and rush you get in game while maintaining some humanity, I'll allow it to remain open.

Thanks,
