Frustrating Multiplayer Moments

[CincoDeMayo]

What's your most frustrating memory of multiplayer gaming ever? Could be a screw-up by you or some team mate, or a bug, or why not a D/C just milliseconds before you were about to unleash pure ownage?

I don't have many stories to tell since I don't play that much multiplayer, but I find 12 year olds screaming into the microphone on Gears of War to be VERY frustrating, and it makes me wish I could kill with telepathy.

Also, freeze lag during FPS multiplayer has made it's mark in my gaming history book.

Bad losers that blames stuff on freeze lag and 12 year old microphone retards are however highly amusing.

Worst one for me was spawning, running around a corner only to be met by the entire of the enemy team.

Sion is shot at. Sion Dies. Sion waits for another respawn...

i actually hate gamers who take TF2 way too seriosly. It ruins the fucking game and they're always whining to everybody about how we're losing. So fucking annoying.

I had a pilot in BF2 in my crosshairs, for a perfect headshot... connection error.

Noooooo!!!

it wasn't online but in Halo 2 my friend was playing a game whre he got a triple kill with 3 people on the level.

I threw down my controller and didn't play for a few minutes after that.
It's been a few years but I still remember it pretty well.

Spawn killing, any game. So annoying. That and young kids yelling in the mike because I knifed them in CoD. Watch your corners, ya n00bs!

Halo.

Walking in down a hallway, debris comes outta no where and kills me. Then spawn and get insta killed by a teammate with a rocket launcher.

Aiming for a headshot on a guy who isn't even looking at you when you get knifed in the back while your teammate sits there and watches.
This has happened to me way too many times in CoD...

I actually did that once...it was on invasion and I had a AUG HBAR that I was using and I walked through an alley only to see all 5 enemies firing in one direction torwards 3 of my teamates.....I ripped through them only to receive nasty messages once the game was over.

OT: Lag in any game is extraordinarily frustrating to me as I have piss poor internet. There is nothing more frustrating than that..that includes 10 year old arsehats.

The Leeches in FPS games. For those who don't know, a Leech is someone who purposely chooses the opposite team of their friends, attaches to random people on said team and fires randomly to alert his/her/its friends of your location. And you can't kill the Leech because he/she/it is on your team!
I can't count how many times this has happened to me personally... And it usually happens shortly after a game's launch so all of the Leeches are people helping their friends hoard achievements and trophies early on for bragging rights... that they didn't earn.

Recently had a TF2 game in which the ENTIRETY of the opposing team had a higher score than our top player (me). And when autobalance moved someone from their team to ours...it was their absolute lowest player.
No one volunteered to switch. =(

MW2: My team is winning but someone on the other team has as AC130, I'm one of the first to get killed, spawn and instantly die from AC130 as overpowered as it is (barely any cover on the open map wasteland), spawn again and die again by same reason (surprise) so this time I wait to spawn after the AC130 and then I spawn and get sniped from a camper, it's funny because those are the only times I've died during the game but it was very fustrating.

First five minutes of MW2 multiplayer on the second day of release. Hackers in every game, me and my buddies gave up game night in frustration.

Well, I was playing in Battlefield: Bad Company, and someone in my squad would spawn on us and knife us in the back. Unfortunately, you can't leave squads, so I had to deal with it and hope that he wouldn't be in my squad in the next game.

Left 4 Dead.
No Mercy, part 4 (I think).
Versus mode.
It's our turn to be the Survivors, and the last half of the round someone was a Tank almost immediately after they opened the door. Cool, INORITE.

Turns out, the Zoey of our team was in private chat with one of the Special Infected.

Insert a few friendly-fire shots with a shitshotgun, the opening of the Safe Room door, and them all spawning at once........
Yeah......
