The worst kind of players are those that spend entire rounds complaining in global chat, especially when they're on your team and not following orders because they'd rather cry their hearts out than win the round.
I let my step son play (15) and my 5 year old girl watches me. They both know the meaning of the word used I hope neither of them use it though. I didnt teach them what it's about. If I thought BF2 could harm them they wouldn't go anywhere near it. I bet they can learn a bigger offence tonight infront of the tv.
That dosen't make it right though, the person in question should be given a warning as to deter other offenders. You wouldn't be able to do it away from the pc screen so you shouldn't be allowed once your sat there.
As for being offended toughen up a little as your going to come up agaisnt bigger offenders than that, both in game and real life.
For example being called a Smurf (laughable in itself) dosen't bother me. It didnt when I was in "skool". (not a smurf just a name in general)

Whats all this about toughen up, I thought I should post to show these little pricks up.
It doesnt offened me personaly because i'm not asian, but it does get on my rag, with him posting stuff up like that and no one doing anything about it.
Yes I know swearing part of the game, I admit I swear myself on servers, but what the need for the racist part of it.
He chose these words, not just a normal swearing rant.
When are we gonna stop saying "oh just Ignore it, don't let it bother you"?
I love this Game but that shit should not be part of it and before you start say i'm some bleeding heart Liberal.
I'm not I just don't want to see this stuff in the games I play.
Yes some one said oh you can see worse, still doesn't make it right.
Just remember this is a GAME and game are ment to be enjoyed and to Entertain you, let you escape real life for a few hours, not bring the crap into the game.

Racism is pathetic. Fact. People should keep their politics out of the game.
Yeah, physical hurtiness, what about mental? I've had my fair share of scarring from school >_>|DKP|Butter wrote:
Pfft... that is nothing compared to 100's of other things said on many other servers. It saddens me that people take so much stock in words.
Does it offend me having to hear the word 'Cracker' used on PRIMETIME TV all the time? NO!!! Because I am a bigger man that to let some little word affect me. It's just words. Be confident knowing you are 100% a better person than people that speak in such ways.
Why worry about something or someone you can have no impact on. Please don’t get me wrong, I commend your efforts but unless there on a server that kicks/bans for such rude play there’s nothing you can do but stew and anger yourself. That is exactly what people that say such things want. They thrive on brewing anger.
Remember... 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but WORDS WILL NEVER HURT ME'
way off topic...so on a server with auto balance..if u are a squad leader u dont get switched?
back on topic...PB can be adjusted so u get a ban if u say the F word...why not just enter other racist words into that aswell..so the racists can get as far as saying it , but only once , then they get booted

Trouble is, it's not just racist words that people use to piss people off, they use stereotypes as well. I was on some 24/7 Karkand last night, and apparently some guy was pissed off that he had tried to start a knife fight with someone, only to get n00b-t00bed at near point-blank range. So after the usual flurry of swear words and WTF's, it got racial. The guy with the n00b t00b kept saying "dawg" and so the guy with the knife said something like "i bet ur some white dude trying to act black cuz they look cool on tv and movies". So then the n00b-t00ber says he's not white, but Asian, and the response is "i knew it...n00b t00b a guy coming at you with a knife...such a cheap Asian thing to do".
See? He never said "Jap," or "Chink," or "Paki," or "Gook" or whatever...but it's still an offensive, stereotyping statement, isn't it?
He's a cheap n00b-t00ber? Fine, call him a cheap n00b-t00ber. What's ethnicity got to do with it? Racism is ugly shit, and now we have to put up with it in our online games? This is what we do when we want a break from the unfairness of real life, for Christ's sake, not to get (even more) frustrated.

So let me see if I got this right. In a game, where the object is for the person to kill you.
You got upset because he called you a name.
