    short answer is the anonymity / lack of any real consequences on live or the internet means some believe they have a license to be a douch.

    Some people can't face losing a game of Fifa so they quit. Mostly happens in ranked matches.

    Really? Haven't played FIFA but surely the devs would have allowed for that and record a loss against the player than drops out! Sounds very unfair.

    As for XBL members acting like douches, unfortunately it seems like they are in the majority rather than the minority and not limited to just American's but seem to span across all nationalities :(

    However, don't be disheartened. There are plenty of good, solid folk on XBL too. It's just that the douches stand out, as generally being louder! Work on filling your friends list selectiviely with people that you get on with and play your game types too and you'll soon find that you rarely meet any douches. Oh, don't forget it's easy to mute ndividuals too!

    Also don't forget, you can always go booster hunting it MW2. Find a couple of boosters and then just ruin their boosting by killing them repeatedly... they'll eventually leave the game... and then just follow them from game to game until they sign off! Boosters are my favourite pet hate :D

    Indeed, came across more than one douche with an irish accent in red dead redemption recently , f**king douches shot me in the back after I invited them to my possie and explained what I was doing while 8 minutes into going for the most wanted cheevo :mad:

    Yeah man. I play MW2 too, and a majority of players who are douches are ether American or Brtiish. Really, I've never met many Irish guys who are like that, not in the game or the game lobby anyway.
