That is just too noob...

[Innocent Bystander]

My buddy, back when COD: MW2 first came out, used to do the most noobish things possible, but in the most hilarious fashion. We'd all be sitting in the room, and he'd put on voice chat and just act like he hadn't the foggiest what he was doing. the best lines went like this:
Teammate: God man, you suck so bad! What's wrong with you?
Friend: (he entered the match right near the end, and so had little time to get into the swing of things) Yeah sorry guys, I just don't know what happened. That was entirely my fault.
Next Round:
Friend: Okay guys, let's get out there and have some fun! GO TEAM!
Teammate: Uh, yeah, gotcha. Fun.
Later
Friend: Hey guys, wanna have a karaoke party?
Teammate: Yeah, that sounds like fun! What do we do?
Friend: YOU SING A SONG, DUMBASS!

Capcha: Skynet is watching. Uh oh.

Did the OP seriously just use noob as an adjective? I can't bear to even be in this thread now.

Yes I did, 'twas the best adjective for threatening to arrest for unpausing a game in which they were proxy-gate rushing. And only now? 3 pages in is a little late to say that.

I've never known anyone to keep a game paused like that.
"You gotta go AFK a whole second? I win!"

Yeah, it is Bad-Manners to pause in the first place without really good reason[footnote]talking to your teammate / 10 min lunchbreak is NOT legit reason to pause, and his conversation heavily implied he was using his pause "tactically"[/footnote] so that did annoy me. Also you generally type "pp" BEFORE you need to pause to indicate it and avoid breaking game flow as it can mess with your management horribly.

That said, Starcraft 2 games can be 40 intense minutes long, so I do understand if someone needs 1 pause, and I try to be polite, but pausing without warning and then not giving a good reason... soz bro.

Also, they were rushing, the game would be over in another three minutes easily because they failed miserably. And it had only been a few minutes as was.

...

Well, you should give more than two seconds for an explanation after a pause. If someone desperately needs to stop the action so that they can do something, why do you expect them to type out an explanation while the game is still running?

Ask for an explanation, give it, like, ten seconds, then unpause mercilessly.

The game-breaking nature of a pause without warning is why I only give 2 seconds. They should warn, generally with a "pp" before wrecking my groove. Also it was a short game that they were cheesing like mad. And "Dad here" or "food ready" does not take 10 seconds to type, I need not an essay, just a legit reason. Otherwise Ima spam that unpause button. There was also no micro battle going on at the time, he wants to waste my time (that is what it is), his cost, not mine by breaking my game flow without warning.

Every pug game of... oh wait. NDA, Shit. Ok um... I cannot tell you which game it is but every single damn match has some asshole who thinks he is the real shit and rushes in to his demise just because he has the biggest stick. Well guess what you worthless piece of a team slot! Your stick ain't worth shit if your opponent has skills, no matter how small his stick is compared to yours.

Not only that but they then clog the chat with their vulgar attempts to lay the blame on either the game or their opponents cheating and/or not playing fair.

God I cannot wait for this thing to leave Beta so I no longer have to deal with these fuckwads!

AFAIK, Planetside 2 is not under NDA anymore.

Might not be Planetside 2. Could be World of Warplanes, where I imagine your plane is much less important than your flying ability.

Sounds like quite a fun guy to play with. Also, "Friend: Okay guys, let's get out there and have some fun! GO TEAM!
Teammate: Uh, yeah, gotcha. Fun." I wish things like this didn't really happen. But they do. There are people out there that care more about winning than enjoying the game. I miss C4 quad bikes in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. So much time spent laughing like a moron over skype with a buddy of mine. The angry text chat afterwards was always fun to read as well.

maybe I should play killing floor?

Yes, yes you should.

Now.

Seconded. It's like L4D...only more fun.

If your plane was much less important than your flying ability, that would render their pay to win business model obsolete, so I highly doubt that (planes will be much less important than player abilities, I am not doubting it could've been other game than Planetside 2, it was more of a joke).

Of course your plane is going to play a big part, but due to it being a flying game it's very likely that a skilled pilot in a worse plane will beat a less skilled pilot in a better plane.
I can't really imagine someone with a better plane being able to outfly someone with more experience and skill.

Why do you say Pay to Win anyway? That hasn't been my experience with World of Tanks so I've no reason to suspect WoWP will be like that.

 

[kurokotetsu]

Yeah, me. Everytime i insist o playing Pyro in TF2 even though my time might need me better as a Heavy or soldier...yup, I'm THAT GUY.

I almost always play Pyro. But that isn't as bad as the temas with four or five snipers or spies. Those are infurating as there is no puch watsoever. Or CTF teams without a engine (or any defense position for that matter). Or pushing teams with no medic. To many a decent game has been lost by those kind of teams. TF2 isn't the game to play if you're obsessd with headshooting the other guy, it is a team effort, it's kind of in the title of the game. I usually don't change, but if really necessary i'll try to be I calss I can at least be useful (but I ahte to change when I'm the best Pyro in my team and we have an excess of that class).

A lot of people miss the implicit humour of shooters like COD. I mean, when you get shot you burst into paper money. That's hilarious

The game is not Planet Side 2.
