10 Annoying Call Of Duty Players We All Hate

These kids have enough free time to probably be better than you at the game. But that's not really the irritation...

The Call of Duty franchise gets a lot of criticism for failing to innovate its hugely popular online multiplayer modes, but when you've got such a loyal fanbase of players that reliably make you hundreds of millions of dollars in profit every year, it's easy to see why Activision don't want Treyarch or Infinity Ward to stray too far from what works. But that's arguably not even the worst thing about these games: it's the players, and their ridiculous habits that can so quickly turn a fun round of Cranked into something that makes you want to rage quit. We've all had bad games where we just flat-out suck and can't seem to catch a break, but sometimes this won't so much be through a lack of skill as due to some lame tactics from the rivals you're sharing the server with. These can relate to certain styles of play (both inside and outside the rules), as well as tactics deliberately intended to distract you and basically make you fail epically. Anyone who has played these games for any length of time will have come across most of these 10 suspicious player types, and as I sunk back into Call of Duty: Ghosts for double XP weekend over the last few days, I again found myself acquainted with the usual host of players who end up taking away from so much of the fun. Feel free to add your own complaints in the comments too! Or am I just making excuses? Sound off either way!
