Playing with Friends VS Strangers

OK guys im here today to talk about something thats affected my gaming experience recently. Recently I have been playing with friends and then when I go online to play randomly I end up shutting the game off and the question is why.

Well when playing with friends I enjoy myself more because it is with friends and we can joke and work like a team. With strangers the comfort and community feeling don't seem there making it harder to play online.

Also Playing with friends has allotted me some of the funniest stories out there of in game experience that has rushed around where I live like wildfire. For instance in Battlefield Bad Company 2 I was rushing to heal my friends Crayon and Rob's tank when they got into a fight with a tank. Well being the engineer I am I rush to help them and the tank shot misses them by an inch and hits me in the chest directly and my friend Paul was laughing and saying he saw the whole thing and I pulled a rag-doll effect. Stuff like that for some reason doesn't like to happen with strangers.

Enough of personal preference let us see the pros and cons of playing with friends vs strangers
