Landmines.. pure and simple. I'm also quite partial to shooting my team captain in the back of the head for a laugh, but only when it's appropriate/funny.

R.U.S.E, making 100 russian heavy artillery bases and surrounding them by AA and AT and then hide infantry in the woods so when they come in with their infantry they get ambushed. Or spamming rocket trucks is always cheap.
Awww! You already have it! It doesn't come out in the UK until tomorrow :( can't wait.

OT: Probably CivRev when you get to the point where you can make tanks, then just get ALL your cities to make loads of tanks to destroy everyone. I just feel like it's cheating a bit when I do it.
It's AWESOME

Although it seems odd, Rock Band and other games like it- I got a nice dirty trick for things like score duel and tug-of-war.

It only works when both players have full star power/overdrive and are doing equally well (usually both doing perfect), just before the next chance to get more start power/overdrive comes, I use mine- key words being JUST BEFORE- and my opponent who feels the need to use their star power/overdrive right when I use mine to avoid losing points inevitably uses theirs too, usually after the chance to get more star power/overdrive is past, so I got a few extra notes at double points that they didn't. ^_^

Obviously that counts on a lot of variables that could ruin it, and I've only really had it work once as an outcome-altering trick, but it's still a dirty trick that I WILL use when necessary (i.e. when we're tied)

ANYWAYS- MW2 knife sprinting? yeah, that's annoying- at least on the other side of it-, but a skilled riot shield user ALWAYS makes people soooo pissed off- especially when it's my throwing knife that kills them (key word being 'skilled', I've seen a lot of idiots that I just used a flash granade and they basically killed themselves...) :)

Team Fortress 2, heavy rushing the cart. You know how awesome that is? 12 Heavies, all on top of the cart, firing like crazy and never running out of ammo? It feels really cheap, but is so satisfying! Yet again, it can be countered by a ton of Demomen, so...yeah, not that cheap. >.>

While my friend and I were beating halo on legendary, one of us would just continuously run and attack while the other just sat back and respawned him. It got the job done, also if either of us were low on health we would kill each other and respawn with full.

Actually no. If I find out something is considered cheap then I stop using it... that is unless I'm playing with friends only, then you can expect rampant teamkilling, and massive abuse of cheap tactics. Of course we never play seriously, so it always devolves into a slaughterfest.

"This town ain't big enough fer the both of us" etc. etc.

OT: Uh, yeah. Whenever my friends go AFK on private matches of just about anything, I go to every length to set up the most amusing death for their return. They range from planting mines in every direction around their feet to setting up elaborate catapults in Garry's Mod. It is always worth it for their voice when they get back.

winning.

i know its bad of me to beat you, but its fun to make you rage over it.

back on topic: uhm i try not to use any cheap tactics..it makes me feel cheap and the kills undeserved, but im a huge demolitions guy and i analyze where people go on maps very well, so nearly anytime i set down a claymore or mine or w/e, 90% of the time i get a kill with it.
yeah im an expert with those AT mines in BC2, i can predict movements and often on rush when defending i will set them prematurly at the roads to the NEXT base
i tend to plant them in the vehicle spawns for when they overrun our base.

then i steal a tank and go nuts on thier a**es!

Actually use ultimate as Veigar. (in League of Legends)

Or rather, targeting nukers with it. ~600 dmg, + my AP (up to 1000) + their AP (if they're playing a nuker it's most likely at least 600) which makes it the single strongest attack in the game. Instant damage attack that is. :D

And when I combine all skills, including a stun, I can kill pretty much any non-tank alone! :D

One-Man Army + Grenade Spam + C4 Teammates with Tac-Knives + Care Package Spam + Thermal Scope and Heartbeat Sensor. + Emergency Airdrop. On Terminal, Wasteland, Favela, Quarry, or Sub Base.
Yes, it's dirty, but I've got to keep up my 5:1 KtD ratio somehow...it was hard enough getting it back up after leveling the Ranger honestly the first time...it helps that I have good luck with care packages getting me AC130s and Pavelows.

I stopped playing after I got to level 60, though. Not that I wasn't having fun winning; I was just getting bored of being around the same crew of avid DeathMatchers and foulmouthed shut-ins all the time.

Using the high-powered pistol and the semi-auto in Red Dead Redemption. I tend to exclusively use rifles/repeaters but sometimes I'll give into the dark-side and stalk about a few close-quarters areas with a semi.

when ever i start a football manager game i add an extre manager for Arsenal and sell all their players on the cheap, give the money to a deserving league 1 or 2 team for their shitest player then retire him.. i hate arsenal by the way.. COYS!! YID ARMY!!! TTID!!
Similar to what i used to do on football manager only i would be in charge of that deserving team and get the top flight team to buy my useless players for 10mil a go and then use that money to help my fly through the leagues.
