Tales of Douche-Baggery (in games)

[KissofKetchup]

I was playing poker in the TDU 2 Casino and after waiting 2 minutes to find a game I come into a game where one of the guys had his mic on the entire time and there was a screaming baby in the background that wasn't going to stop crying for anything. On top of that, the guy wasn't talking at all so he had his mic plugged in for no reason whatsoever except to broadcast the crying baby

The ragers at League of Legends can be pretty annoying... Fortunately I have learned to ignore them. Although sometimes, when I'm in the mood, I might troll them a bit. They are ridiculously easy to troll.

Some dickhead who, for about 2 weeks, would constantly stalk me in Red Dead Redemption's online. Any time I died in that game, it was always him with a fucking sniper rifle. I swear he didn't even bother with any in-game stuff, he just spent his time hunting me like an animal.

the pricks in BFBC2 who take off in the heli with no one in it just to end up crashing it.
If u cant drive the dame thing let some one else use it so we can win.

Suddenly, everyone was using sniper rifles and tanks, Sigmund Freud would be proud.

People who play music on their Mics. I got my own music I like. Plus I like to actually HEAR what going on in game.
Team Killers. I understand accidental, hell I've accidentally incapacitated a few people on L4D because I was going trigger happy with my shotgun, But those who just shoot teammates intently I HATE. And I also hate it when we try to kick them but one of our team is his friend so the kick vote cant get passed.

And under-barrel launchers require you to switch to them, are hard to use well over distance, have very little ammo and quite often fire dud grenades (in my experience anyhow). Everything has pros and cons.

Duds only happen if the surface you hit is to close to you.

Assholes in Halo that drop your shields, team-kill and teabag you are the most memorable little shits in my eyes. The fact that the betrayal system is FUBAR makes it the perfect enviroment for them.

On a side note, every level 5 agent in Crackdown 2. I got so sick of it one time I decided to go on my own little greifing spree.

People griping about camping. IT'S A VALID TACTIC, PEOPLE.

 

[teebeeohh]

the only shooter i play is TF2 and this game is full of nice people. except pyros, all pyros are evil

 

[Blind Sight]

Those sonsofabitch in Command and Conquer 3 who would use an engineer to capture your base building in the first two minutes and then sell it.

Must quote Yhatzee:
"It's ok to swear on the internet, it's not like your mom is gonna read it. I should know because she's to busy getting fucked. BY ME."

I quote that whenever I see censored swears. Nothing personal.

 

[Canid117]

I love how everyone's saying "noob-toobers" and such.

Using features implemented in the game != Being a douchebag.
I don't even play these games and even I can see how stupid that is. Just because they manage to kill you in the game doesn't make them bad people.

I think the point is people feel a grenade that explodes without giving you a chance to run away is unfair. Much like a one hit kill knife, barely visible mines or those things that can kill you in like a second from huge distances...um bullets I think they're called.

Yeah, but with a knife you got to get close giving you a disadvantage. Bullets on the other hand don't do one hit kill splash damage.

And under-barrel launchers require you to switch to them, are hard to use well over distance, have very little ammo and quite often fire dud grenades (in my experience anyhow). Everything has pros and cons.

Hard to use well over distance? Thats a good joke.

And it WORKS!

OT: Bastards on my team who kill me after I've picked up a good weapon.

MMO-RPG's are bad, but imagine a healer that you are actually sitting close enough to strangle because he won't heal you. I've had good and bad people when I play D&D but this insufferable bastard chose human cleric, and was our main healer, but usually refused to heal us.... It's doubly irritating when you can see the smug smile on their face but know it's immature to beat that damn smile off their face!!

 

[Azurian]

Monster Tri - Lazy jackasses that don't want to do any work or just hit you when your trying to carve.

GoldenEye - Hackers, Camp snipers even if their on my own team

Borderlands - People who just keep shooting explosive weapons at you.

But about the noob tubing I ask this question. When I play GoldenEye and I have a gun with a grenade launcher. Is it considered tubing when the person I tried to kill the person who ran around a corner and I use the splash damage of the grenade to kill them to avoid getting myself killed?

 

[LandoCristo]

Alright, I've got nothing specific, but I just want to mention a game where being a douche-bag to the enemy team is at it's easiest: MAG. To explain, you can hear all players' mic-chat, be it a friendly who's not in your squad or an enemy when you stand near them (Called "Proximity chat"). So basically, I've heard some incredibly racist, pre-judiced, anti-Semantic, or just hateful remarks from the incapacitated bodies of enemies after I blow through their entire squad with a shotgun from behind. And I just love hearing them shout: "Hey, this asshole is T-bagging me!"

They moan whilst I sit in a corner with a shotgun; it's like hunting ducks, only ducks are smarter.

Anyway, I guess the douche-baggiest moment I encountered was in MW2 with 3 snipers on hardcore TDM (notice how if you enunciate that, it's te-dee-emm?) who just worked their way up to the cranes on that office-roof map (I've forgotten the name of it) and sat above us sniping us the entire time.

I wouldn't have minded if there was some skill involved, but they just sat in such a manner that they directly looked at all of the spawns and fired at us before we could even move.

 

[Peter Donaldson]

People in L4D2 who don't go in the safe house, instead dick around, trying to get on roofs, etc.

 

[gabe12301]

Anyone who runs into battle with their grenade launcher or rocket launcher out is a douchebag. You have bullets. USE THEM.
