I was listening to an Xbox 360-related podcast this morning when someone mentioned that she had better experiences on certain Xbox Live games compared to others because they had a higher percentage of more mature players. As an example, she said that Rainbow Six Vegas 2 tended to have a relatively small amount of hostile, harassing, or loud-and-obnoxious-twelve-year-old gamers compared to everyone's favorite cesspool, Halo 3.
The question got me wondering, what games on Xbox Live have you played that tend to have more mature players on them? By contrast, what games are just representative of the dregs of society?
I personally don't play too many Live games with random people so my experience is a bit limited, but I have to agree that I've had good experiences overall with Rainbow Six Vegas 2. PSU and Rock Band both rate pretty high up on the maturity scale as well. On the lower end, Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3, unsurprisingly, are over-populated with assholes. I imagine GTA IV would be pretty bad as well, but I have yet to play this online with any random people.
