Forum:Went online today... wow

One of my friends invited me to their game today and it was in a public match. It was amazing to me - Everyone that joined had modded weapons. All everyone kept saying was was "I have a shotgun that can kill everything in one hit" Now, with this phrase constantly being thrown around, I'd tell them that I have legit guns that can do that, and the response was "Well you can't kill me, I have an unlimited shield". This went on for about an hour, with every person that joined. Main point of this post being... Why does everyone think that they're better than me just because they are level 20 and can beat me in a fight? Going online with people I don't know was a mistake and now I'm not going online (public matches) for a while.


 * Also, two more questions...
 * 1) How come every annoying 5-year-old has a microphone?
 * 2) How come I have never found a "totally legit" Shredder Shredder in the Armory that these same 5-year-olds have 'supposedly' found in there?
