Don't make a bad situtation worse

All jokes aside (coughFragAKcough), Biscuit is right. To be honest, if you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing on my team, be glad if I remain civil. If I have to yell and cuss, it is not a good omen. Now, if you are going for the objective and working with your team, I probably won't yell even if we're doing badly. Sometimes you just have a bad game or 2 or 3 or throw a grenade, tell your team, and then they all chase it down like dogs after a ball or Krue's squadmates after his grenades.

I've seen a whole team whipped into shape with some yelling, and I've seen assholes screaming at their teammates who were already doing all they could. It's never pleasant, but particularly in Domination, a few people who weren't watching their area will buckle down after getting cussed out and suddenly it's like a whole new game. If you're just plain getting your ass kicked, yelling's not going to change that, but when people are jerking off at the expense of their team, asking nicely isn't going to buy you some covering fire.

Additionally if you can't get them to do what they are supposed to do by communicating with them over voice start bringing the trouble players to the attention of the admins. If there aren't any admins on go spectate and record a demo of the trouble players and post them up in the problem players thread. You can record in game by bringing up the console (tilda key but you have to turn it on under multiplayer options) and typing /record. To stop recording type /stoprecord.

I think this is point that shatter99 is trying to make. Based on what he wrote it sounded like his team was pursuing the objective:

Now I don't know if they were using their mics to coordinate, call out enemy positions, ect as I was not playing at the time.

I think we all remember playing on servers that were full of assholes, being assholes for the sake of being assholes. I believe TTP regs and admins do need to be an assholes from time to time for the sake team player and further separating TTP from other servers.

In response to this, I've looked around everywhere, and I can't find the save location for your recordings. And where I think they're saved, a strange file type is in its place. I don't know if there's a converter that will make it an AVI so that you can upload it.

In response to the original intention of this thread, I've been yelled at before in 2142 by Bigdog, and since I KNOW he means business, I snap to it. If the rest of your team is acting like a bunch of douchebags, yell at them, scream at them, do whatever it takes (aside from intentional TKs) to get your team to cooperate, and work together.

They play in the COD4 game itself. They're demos. There's also a utility that will do the hard work of playing it for you.
