When you're at like 1 health in L4D you come to a health pack station and all the health kits get taken by your teammates and used on themselves. Luckily its only happened once and usually my teammates healed me but it was damn annoying when it did happen. You know speaking of L4D another time I spawned in VS and the person playing before me had gotten to black-and-white so I immediately died and was kicked, they basically kicked me for something the person playing before me had done. I hate that.
Another favorite of mine: Gears of War 2 online. As soon as people discovered "Two-Piecing" (Hitting the enemy followed by literally blowing them apart with the shotgun) every multiplayer game became about nothing but who could do it first. I was forced to put down a game that I really loved because it was just impossible to enjoy it when, in every battle, I would simply spawn, move three feet, and then get two-pieced.
My point being that you have to balance things in a game, you can't have a gun just be stupid powerful even if it is like that in real life, people would just run everywhere with the .50 call all the time. I mean, MW2 is more an arcadey shooter than anything, battles are just like arenas.manythings said:
I call Bullshit on MW2 MP, period. How is it that I can empty half a M4 mag into someone and kill them, yet someone could just put two M4 rounds into me and I fucking die? They dont even have the hardhitting perk on.
I switched over to Bad Company 2 and back to good 'ole PC Battlefield 2 and have been a happier man for it.
Wait a minute, there was a time when people didn't know about two-piecing?XSA37 said:
That must have been the most awesome 3 minutes ever!
Oooh, more MW2 bashing time! Anybody else get pissed off with the spawn system? I mean, come on... one game I got spawned three times in front of the same guy who promptly killed me. I understand that they tried to put you right into the action, but I don't think anybody wants to be that close.
In Longest Journey there was a puzzle that, while I did solve it pretty fast, made no sense. I had to get to some restricted area that had a retinal scanner at the door. Sounds like this would get tricky, no?
A lot of adventure games operate on their own brand of dream logic but c'mon! This was in the supposedly realistic no-nonsense part of the game.
The solution is to steal some guy's glass eye and use it at the door. Yes, apparently he had a very intricate, unique pattern laserburned on the surface of a frickin' cosmetic implant. Or something.

heroes of newerth. Deadwood and Chronos ultimates. deadwood can basically instakill untill endgame with it. it deals 350/650/950 damage, stuns you and takes away 20% of your strenght, leaving you with even less health. its SO LAME together with rotten grasp.
chronos can basically trap you in giant bubble that completely freezes you and cancels almost every spell in the game, and then he can just beat at you. and guess what? its not single target and he can use it twice every 2 minutes.
everytime i see either of those heroes pick, i react like this in the chat:
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

I had something that fits in here just a short while ago. I downloaded the latest Dragon Age: Origins DLC today, Golems of Amarok. When I got to the final boss I found him to be stupidly overpowered. Or, not the final boss I should say, but instead his unlimited supply of minions. Since I was playing on Nightmare difficulty, I suppose this can be forgiven. Eventually I turned the difficulty down to hard. At this point, after I beat the final boss' first form, killed all his minions, and proceeded to start in on his second form, the bastard got stuck in a wall. I could not target him and he could not target me. At this point I raged, cried and quit. Fuck Golems of Amarok.
