Frustrated? They're picking on you 'cause you stink? Bungie solved these problems for you.

How about those annoying teenage brats who smack-talk you into losing a fight? Well, apparently Bungie found a solution to your frustration during a deathmatch and that is a Halo 3 update introducing a new function bound to the back button of the Xbox 360 pad: the "A-Hole Button." The "A-Hole Button" brings up a tagged score list with everyone on XBLA. All you have to do is use the right stick to select whichever player is annoying you with their stupidity and lousy comments on your performance and you won't hear from them again.

On the other hand, if you think about it, it goes the same for everyone so while your impression is that one guy is a total idiot, his impression concerning you might also be a negative one, so players will eventually rule out each other until there's nobody left to talk to. And since you'll buy Halo 3 to have some fun, why risk annoying yourself? Just have a match with those you know and everything will be OK. Unless of course your friends are total idiots too and they just can't help teasing you with stupid remarks like: "Didn't your mom tell you to stay out of the street?" It's not really Bungie's job to solve disputes between you and the "a-holes," but they'll do anything so you "finish the fight" on their long waited FPS and quite frankly, no one's blaming them. There are a lot of "d-heads" out there.

And of course there are those who are so frustrated that even the smallest remark regarding their performance in the game will result in a mental break down, so if you have suicidal thoughts when getting your ass kicked online, then you've got issues and it's best if you enable the damned "A-Hole Button."
