Really thats ILLEGAL now online too?

[Georgie_Leech]

I haven't played any multiplayer games recently apart from a couple of flash games, but I did have a chuckle at this one:

Also, one that happened quite a while ago but that I still get butthurt over. I was playing Guild Wars with my Necromancer and we were at... I don't remember, one of the final missions in Nightfall but not the last one. I had joined a PUG and we were ready to go, so I pinged my build as is customary, so that everyone in the party knew exactly what to expect from me. The group leader then told me that my build sucked and sent me a new one that, according to him, was way better. One look at his build told me that not only was my build more efficient for that particular mission (and in general), I also lacked one or two skills in the lineup he suggested so I couldn't use his build even if I wanted to. The group leader, convinced we'd never win the mission if I didn't use his build, called me a noob and kicked me out of the group. To prove my point, I then proceeded to solo the mission on hard mode with that exact build.

Oh, that is one of the best "I told you so"'s ever.

The other day, I was playing as a rogue in DDO, and I joined a group to do a quest on Elite; they wanted a guy who could scout and disarm traps, etc., which my rogue is obscenely good at. In the quest, the entire group proceded to charge right in, ignoring why I was there, get blasted by surprise attacks and traps, and bitched at me for not doing my job.

They started listening after they all died and dropped their soul stones, I snuck in, grabbed them all, and took them to a res spot, basically saving them all single-handed.

I had the sniper in Halo 3 and someone Tk'd me, then sent me a message saying, "If someone is shooting you, give them your gun!"

This, buy the way, was a girl from Texas, whose Gamercard said that God loved America and hated Israel.

Okay. So I haven't played XBL for a while so I decided to start playing again the other day and played MW2 not even the third match I played in I was yelled at. Not for being bad mind you. For ACTUALLY playing the game how your supposed to be by doing something some twelve year old kid decided to call HARD Scoping with my sniper. If you don't know what HARD Scoping is its when you zoom in and stay zoomed in. I didn't know that was against the law of the online gaming universe to use a weapon the way it was intended. LIKE SERIOUSLY the kid yelled at me called me a cheater and kept saying how much better at the game he was than me when every match I played against him he was always last on his team and I was near the top.

So here is the question I pose to you Escapist. What is the most outrageous thing you have ever been yelled at while playing a game online.

Oh thats because those kids think Sniping is suppose to be like this. They think its cool to quick scope.

we all know that sniping is more like that
(That the closest i could find, Honest...Sorry.)
You take your time, spot your target, aim according to movement, pull the triggers. There no running Sniper, Hell the knockback would shove the lense in your orbit or you would smash your head against the riffle. They want a realist game where they can be superman? Does anyone get that vibe or is it just me.

The worst that happen is that i crash the helicopter in B2 by doing a 180 nosedive and landed on the propeller. In the game, we blew up but i guess in real life, that would be one hell of a ride.

lets see...

on halo 3 i got told off by a teammate through voice message because me and 2 of my friends on our team were in party chat and not game chat

on wow earlier i got told off for not using a certain spell and same thing the other day on a different character

 

[mrhockey220]

...What?
There's something wrong with using the scope?
I'm baffled. Just write it off as those kids being pissed off that you killed them.

OT: I got yelled at during a halo 3 match for shooting a guy on a mongoose as he attempted to run me over. The conversation went like this:
Him: FUCK YOU
Me: what?
Him: YOU DONT SHOOT A FUCKING MONGOOSE

HAHAHA funny that you say that because my friend will do that to people all the time if he gets killed on a mongoose!!!

Dying.
No, really. Dying.

Yeah I did its just that I laugh at the strangest things.

I once got yelled at for "slacking" in WoW when I was completely new to DPS in instances - apparently, all the other guys have those talent trees and skill sequences hardwired into their genes.

Or, you know, we go out and research.

If you were max level, people expect you to have at least had a cursory glance or asked around as to what the best spec/rotations are. This is especially true when your group has evidently been to this instance a few times before and is interested in completing it as fast as possible for badges/drops/gold/whatever rather than being held back by a deadweight member.

Elitist? A bit.

However this is how it is. If you don't want to be told you're deadweight, you should probably be running with friends rather than PuGs.

Although they might ***** about you behind your back ololololololol.

I had this problem when I used to play WoW. People would go on about "oi noob why are you still using that weapon?" I would reply "because I like how it looks and I don't like the look of any of the higher level weapons."

Apparently I have a hack for the Huntsman (TF2) because I can sometimes shoot scouts at close range with it.

 

[Sir Bob]

Apparently, in WoW, it's a bad thing to roll need on something you, you know, need. It was a smexy tanking trinket, and I was playing damage at the moment, but I had a tank set that needed better trinkets. [...] knowing I'd never see them again, I just left group. Screw them, and screw their (sucky) tank, I needed a new trinket!

Thats just being selfish, because there are also tanks in each group, and if a tanking trinket drops, tanks get prio. You would probably have raged, and posted about this in another thread on this very same forum it if were a tank taking your dps loot "because he has worse in his 2nd specc"

You sir, should be shot in the face.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

Guys, guys, guys. You're forgetting Rule #1 of online competitive gaming, clung to by whiny low-self-esteem children and social misfits who use gaming to play out power fantasies lesser competitors everywhere:

"Everything you do to beat me is hacking. Everything I do to beat you is skill."

There's no point in getting upset over it; just cherish your victory and move on.

Hear hear!

OT: I don't get yelled at as such, but I do get accused of pulling of 'lucker' shots in Counter Strike. Usually by the kindof people who have 1's & 0's in there screenname, or alternatively some kind of heavy Gothic text.

 

[Flames66]

Someone tried to convince me the "Puff and Sting" combo where you ignite, airblast into a wall, and finish with the Axetinguisher is a noob tactic.

I don't know about you, but if you are camping as a Sniper in a spot where I could easily get behind you, complaining isn't something I would do.

That tactic does annoy me somewhat. I don't start whining about it in the game though, I just try to take out the offending Pyro at long range with a nice arrow through the breath filter.

 

[-Samurai-]

I too have been bitched at for "hard scoping". People think they can "quick scope" in MW2. They can't. They don't seem to understand that if your "quick scoping" requires certain perks, and you can't do it without them, you can't do it. You wanna see quick scoping? Go play CoD 1 on PC.

People also ***** at me for guarding the sites in Search and Destroy. Apparently, the defending team is supposed to rush the attacking team and die, leaving the sites open. No thanks. I'll just keep winning.

 

[THE M3RCENARY]

i like the new MW2 diss everyone uses

so i see a guy use a tac insert, i kill him, wait for him to spawn, and kill him again.

after the match i receive a message saying "ur garbage"

to which i reply "TROLL HARDER ******"

 

[Mannayz]

I've played Medic on TF2 for a long while now, so I've had my share of being bitched at by people saying "You need to heal everyone" or "why couldn't you heal me?" Here's a thought for you: if my Heavy is taking fire from five sources at once, and if I even so much at turn my heal-beam away from him to heal your sorry ass [that's probably sitting very nicely next to a medkit] chances are my Heavy is going to die, hence our push being broken. Also, if you call for Medic and you're all the way on the other side of the map and then you accuse me of "not healing everyone" once you die, then maybe you should continue running into the enemy base and getting killed while I'm standing back with a small platoon of forces ready to make a push.

 

[Captain Pancake]

"Hard scoping" sounds suspiciously to me like "common practice" sniping. Did he have a problem with you crouching before firing too?

 

[Z(ombie)fan]

Typically I dont play MP games, but I LOVE ET:QW

I am REALLY good at blowing shit up, so natuarally I pick soldier/agressor with rocket launcher/obliterarator. fits me and works well for my ingame skills.

however, THIS happens every time I kill a cyclops:

"You Fucking Idiot Zfan!"

"WHY am I an Idiot? Your not on my team, I can kill you. STFU you ass."

"ok your an asshole!"

"DUDE. YOUR IN A GODDAMN CYCLOPS. YOU COULD CRUSH ME! YOU HAVE SUPER ROCKETS! and you know what else? Im SUPPOSED to kill you! the objective for me is to kill the strogg! its your fault for not running from a rocket launcher!"

"stfu ******"

I switch to shotgun medic and started to just rampage, with the help of an ammo supplier who was also fed up.

twas awesome.
