Cheapest Multiplayer Tatic/Class/Combo (can be all three)

[Wheeleybird]

The soldier from tf2, they have the 2nd highest health and can simply spam missiles at corners/the ground while taking nearly no backlash themselves. I put my 6 year old cousin on this class and he got kills -_-"

Yeah I didn't play MW2 so I don't know what some of these perks are. So please give a bit of information on the perks so anyone who hasen't played and myself can understand your displeasure.

1)One Man Army-lets you switch to another class withoud dying(Even the same class)
Scavanger- you can pick up ammunition from dead enemies

Danger Close- Increases the lethal range of your explosives by OVER 9000!!percent. Pretty much if the person is withing 30 second walking distance of your grenade, it's a kill.

Danger Close combined with either of the first 2 is really annoying. Normaly you can only have 2 grenades for your noob tube, but with those, you get infinite.

2)Marathon- Allows you to sprint forever.

Lightweight- Increases your movement speed.

Commando- Increases the range of your melee attack to quite literally 20feet.

Include equipment like the tactical knife, which reduces the cooldown of your melee, and you've got people sprinting all around the map, insta-killing anyone who goes anywhere near them. A player doesn't even need to be on their screen, they can still knife if you are behind them, or around corners. Ridiculous.

Thanks, that makes the Galil noob combo look sportsmanlike.

Call of duty burst fire weapons. Words cannot describe the hatred I have for these weapons, for anyone not familiar, here's a checklist of what they can do:
1) Fire three bullets in one shot
2) All three bullets come out in under half a second
3) The three bullets have no spread, so are pinpoint at almost all ranges
4) it only takes 2 of the bullets to hit you before you die
5) The gun suffers very little recoil
6) The second burst can be fired another half second after shooting

These things honestly make me froth at the mouth. The ammount of times I've seen people using them and decimate whole teams is disgusting

And before I get all the "Well you're just shit to keep dying to it" hear this, I have made an m16 class out of spite in every call of duty game that allows one, because I was so sick of being raped by them, and do you know what? I didn't lose a game while using it.
I took them off in the end, they make me feel dirty.

Quick-scoping. The art of using a one-hit-kill sniper rifle, and running up to people, zooming in, shooting them, and getting a kill.

I used to be great at it, but I haven't played a FPS in over two years, so I don't really know. But I know it was ridiculously cheap, and wretchedly overpowered.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Certain characters in fighting games.

For instance, Wesker in Marvel vs Capcom 3.

Fuck. That. Teleporting. Bastard.

Not only does the guy have an insanely quick teleport with no recovery time, but his combos seem to have very little hit deterioration, which means he can combo you, get you off the ground using a move and an assist. Which is fine. Once! This guy can do it fucking twice.
Add a counter move that allows follow up combos, and you have one infuritating douchebag of a broken character.

I'd fight a team full of Dantes before a single Wesker.

 

[CthulhuMessiah]

One Man Army
Danger Close
Grenade Launcher

You win MW2 forever.

Please explain how using a single-shot weapon is overpowered compared to using an assault rifle or SMG at close range. The amount of skill it takes to quick scope is FAR higher than that required to spray with an AR or SMG. Please don't spout that "It's a glitch!" non-sense, because anyone who has done it knows there's nothing glitchy about it. You aim, take a shot, and often hit the guy. There's not even any aim assist while scoped in, so you can't use that as an excuse either.

There's a reason no one uses Snipers in competitive matches: sniping is really really bad, even in MW2 (the best sniping has been in a CoD game by far).

I agree with you there. I also hate it when people call you a noob/pussy/******/other derogatory term when you "hard scope" which is how a sniper rifle is intended to be used.

I've done it by reflex or accident loads of times, without even intending to. Factor that into your "it takes skill"
And there is aim assist on snipers, especially when scoped in, want proof? Ok. I was scoping a window, an enemy ran in front of me, my scope automatically followed him.
Factor that also.

Rome: Total War, I HATE people who spam Urban Cohorts and Praetorian Cavalry. Urbans cost about 830, which is quite a bit cheaper than anything that can match them (they can even best Spartans which are in the 1200 range). Praetorian Cav is pretty cheap too and can best the best cavalry in a melee (once I had 4 of them in a straight head-on melee beat 4 of my Cataphracts (who are supposed to be the best cav in teh game and have an armor piercing alternate attack), no outflanking or upgrades or even hill advantages). You usually see 5-6 Urbans and 4-6 Praetorian Cav backed by a few archers and maybe a town watch used as a fodder unit. Even when fully enveloped, they best most anything.

Play more defensively then, armoured hoplites (i think, if not then highest defensive unit for greek cities) in phalanx formation are virtually unstoppable, give them an armour upgrade or two and a cavalry charge into their back will do nothing except kill the cavalry. With best armour and enough experience a direct hit from an onager will be useless, only flaming artillery is any good.

OT: sprinting around small maps with a shotgun

ANYTHING with stealth mechanics.
You just finished of this one perfect fight, a really close one at that, happy about your victory you wander off towards the safety of your team.. When someone pops out from stealth, one shots you, calls you a noob and wanders off.
This wouldn't get to me at all if it wasn't for the fact that EVERYONE that plays like that think they're the best player to ever walk the earth and can't stop braging about their scores.

EDIT: Oh yeah I almost forgot! When trolling League of Legends simply go with Apmumu, Galio, Orianna, Fiddlesticks and Sona/Soraka. Go ahead, I dare you to lose a game with it.

 

[Isaac The Grape]

Getting root access on the host machine via a remote shell then sending endless SVN packets to everyone else resulting in massive lag. When I troll I troll hard.

I don't know about that. Sure his missiles do a lot of damage, but he also has to deal with a long reload time. Not to mention he's pretty slow.

 

[Mj Kort]

Sentinel in MvC3. Sure he dies fast as fuck, but if he gets the first hit off on you and does his combo well he can solo your whole team by himself without losing any health. why does he exist

 

[Sangtrain]

My counter to Galil spamming is Dual Wield Skorps(a Single one with Extended Mags works too) with Scavenger Pro Steady aim(pro or not it doesn't matter)Ghost Pro. You run around like a Constipated Wiener Dog and just Nuke them at close range.
Silenced Galil user Nerd Rages out and you giggle a bit on the inside.
and in case of long range Maps. M60 Big Ammo Grip. 200 Rounds of HATE.

Cheap Tactics ALWAYS have a counter. Usually by means of EVEN CHEAPER tactics or just Overpowering them with HATE in the form of an Especially angry piece of metal that flings even Angrier pieces of metal.

 

[Magicmad5511]

CAMPING!
Specifically in Halo for me. Eve more specifically in Infection. They always get into the little corners which makes it absolutely no fun being a zombie in those games.
Also Spawn campers. I know the developers try to fix the spawns but in many games for certain modes the spawns must always take place in an area and then it gets camped. I get that people don't want to turn down free kills but it breaks the game and annoys everyone on that team. The worst times is when its a friend in a custom game. DAMN THAT GETS ANNOYING.

I think my rants over now.

 

[Zac Kookoo-kachu]

in CoD:MW2 i use the marathon, lightweight commando set with smg and pistol/tacknife....yes its cheap, yes its annoying, andeveryone hates it. but it works which is why people use it

 

[Mr Shrike]

I don't know if this counts as a "cheap" tactic as such, but more than a couple of times on ARMA we've been pinned down by sniper fire then strafed by aircraft.

Not so much cheap, but a clever use of resources, methinks.

But seriously, AAA against infantry. Not cool, man.

EDIT - And anyone/thing that spawncamps. Even AI. Fuck that shit.

 

[SeeIn2D]

I never thought I'd get to link one, let alone two of my youtube videos on the escapist and have them be relevant! Both are the answers to the OP, and both are extremely disturbing...



Watch at your own risk. If anyone has ever been commandoed worse than either of those times, then I'm here for you...

Aside from absolutely insane commando lunges, I also play other games! Yes I know it's crazy, someone who plays CoD also plays other games. Here are their problems!

Bad Company 2: In terms of what vehicle-less players do, anyone who picks the medic class is automatically on my hit list. That class is so insane. I unload my SMG ammo into them, they turn around quickly and in literal seconds I'm dead via and MG3 and it's ludicrous fire rate. In terms of vehicles, it's a tie between the guys on the ground with that monster known as the Bradley, and these idiots in the sky flying in circles with their Havocs and shooting rockets down on me. The Bradley is impossible to kill because it's defended from all sides by various guns, and since it can fit like 4 people, it almost always has an engineer who just gets out and repairs it when I rocket the thing. I basically exclusively play as an engineer, so that obviously bothers me. And with the helicopters, I just get on a gun and hope and pray I can shoot it down before the monster decides to either turn around and go repair, or more likely look straight at me and rocket the ever loving fuck out of me.

Fifa 11: I play Fifa all the time. I'm a huge soccer fan so I can't stay away from it. However I hatehatehate when these guys on Ultimate Team buy all these fast and strong brazilians, and just run through me with absolutely nothing I can do. Then they tramp it. They always tramp it. For people who don't know...

Spoiler

That is a tramp. They don't go for the chip over the keeper or anything, they just do a lame pass to the guy next to them for the easy open goal. It's Fifa's #1 nono.
