What "pro" gaming behavior ticks you off?

[TheRogueX]

If it's red, it's dead. If you don't want to get spawn camped, you shouldn't have rolled on a PvP server.

Woohoo! Lookie here! We have an idiot elitist! Congratulations, you win a prize!

Spawn killing and cursing into the microphones is pretty annoying. But thanks for muting mic?s but spawn killing I haven?t found an effective counter yet.

 

[civver]

The elitist attitude. And (this is a big one for me) playing games to win instead of fun. Especially when they complain about you having fun even when losing.

Sniping. I hear so many "Man, I'm so pro with my sniper rifle" lines it makes me sick. Sniping requires really no skill in an FPS.
Adjust for environmental conditions, range, W&E, and bullet travel, then talk to me about sniping skill.

A minor one, but in Halo 3 when people grab the flag, and then constantly jump,drop it, grab it, jumpr repeat. Yes I know it makes the flag move so much faster, but it's just so damn annoying to hear
Flag dropped
Flag stolen

Spawnkilling. That's it for me.

I'm standing behind the statement that if you get spawn camped you deserve it.

Really? I'm curious as to the logic behind the statement. Care to explain?

if your playing something like team fortress 2 the only reason you get spawn camped is because YOU did something wrong. and if your spawn camped for more than 10 seconds in tf2 you really fail.

OK, so because I die once, and somebody decides they want some free kills, I shouldn't get upset when he racks up the free kills while I'm essentially powerless to defend myself?

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Camping, spawn camping, and thinking everything you do is better and more respectable just because you've played the game a few hours more.
On MW2 release day, people already moaning about 'noobs' using nades! We were all bloody noobs on release day you fools!

Grenades require quadratic equations to figure out where they land, it isn't exactly easy...
Then there's ballparking, but who cares? They only get 1 'nade that can damage players, and only 2 others that will affect them.

 

[PrimeSynergy]

Finding places in levels you're not supposed to be and then camping those spots.

E.g. "Hey, let me climb on top of this doorway so when people come thru there is literally no way they can kill me in time!"

how are you powerless? do you not spawn with a weapon? your never "powerless" you always have a modem of fighting back and if you cant get out of spawn in a game like tf2 theres an issue with YOU.

 

[Caligulove]

That so called "pro" gamers kind of ruin the whole idea of online gaming for people when they are just starting.
Everyone is new at something, and overall, its a game.

Going along from that... gamers that actually take the game seriously. Notorious in Halo 3 and CoD4 (and MW2 now, too)

 

[j1-2themax]

Snip

OK, so you would consider it fair play to get taken out repeatedly by a guy who:
a.)knows exactly where you're going to pop up and has a very good idea of when to expect you,
b.)may or may not have a rocket launcher with enough ammo to level a small town, and
d.)has zero kills using any other method/weapon.

Also, you keep bringing up Team Fortress 2 like it's the only multiplayer game in existence. What about a game like Halo 3? Lot more places to get shot from straight off the top, meaning finding the camper will be nothing short of a luck-based mission.

Besides, spawn campers ruin the experience of the camped, which is the entire point of the thread. Otherwise, the Kill Cam wouldn't be so popular, and it's probably the reason Battlefield 1943 doesn't drop you right next to the capture point when you spawn by it.

stupid people tea baggin my dead body... its soooo annoying

 

[Baghram]

Team stacking - All the 'Pro' players in one team, all the lesser players in the other, let the hours long slaughter begin.. And then bragging about how much they are 'owning' the other guys.

Happened quite often, even in every ET (Enemy Territory) clan I was in, I saw members doing the exact same thing on the clanserver, even though they were clearly the superior players. (60-1/60-2) Were not uncommon kill to death ratio's, and imagine a team full of those guys, sad thing is, it didn't even occur to them they were ruïning the game for the other players and shuffle it up so both teams can have some fun.

Also abusing Admin Powers, a big 'no, no'

 

[chinese_democracy]

Elitists ruin every MMORPG (PVE wise). The make it a second job and suck all the fun out of any game they touch. The funny part is they aren't necessarily more skilled then anyone, they just dedicate their whole lives around one game and obviously become more knowledgeable than others.

 

[ExplosionProofTaco]

The attitude.

Pseudo-Pro ******: Haha I killed you 2 times. You suck.
Me: Ok. 1. You spawn killed me twice 2. I haven't played this game in ages.
Pseudo-Pro ******: LAWL LAWL U GOT PWND LOL U SUCK LOL
* Twenty 'Pro' Kills later *
Me: What's that about me sucking?
* Pseduo-Pro has left the game *

 

[dududf]

Being elitist. They just think they better than everyone else, no matter what

This. Also the ones that are so over competitive that they hate when their teammates are doing better than them

Both these.

Also, I hate when someone is kicking ass, but with out any grace. Like some one topping a CoD4 mp game 122 kills to 23 deaths and going all like "God, it so depressing playing here! There is no challenge!"

Ugh, I'm guilty of that, I did it once when I was going 137/9 in CoD 4, Harcore Crossfire... No camping for me, just leroying, and killing... It was a depressing match... >.<

 

[Apathetic_cynicism]

jumping and shooting in CoD and drop-shots (from standing to prone in no time flat.)

 

[ejb626]

When people beat me even though I try my best.. which is like all the time

I know I suck but why don't you just get lost. Damn people who are better than me.

Hey, join the club why do you think I'm on the computer and not playing X-box because I'm sick of watching killcams. I just don't get Call of Duty how do you get good? It seems immpossible

OT: People in those wave-by-wave defense games particularly Nazi Zombies who are SUPER competitive and have this over-meticulous super-specific plan to win and if you do one little thing wrong they yell at you. I played on Verruckt with a guy who seemed nice to begin with
"Alright guys I got to wave 20 with this so follow my lead" I thought it sounded reasonable so I did, then I decided to *GASP* OPEN THE DOOR SO I COULD GET TO THE RANDOM WEAPONS CRATE
heres why happened
Nazi Zombies Nazi: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!!
Me: Getting a random weapon
N.Z.N: YOU'RE NOT SUPOSED TO OPEN THAT DOOR!!!11 (with his boyfriend in the background saying "Your an idiot"
Than he and his boyfriend proceeded to rage-quit leaving me and the other guy alone we died pretty quickly.

I also really hate those fucking idiots who think they can order newer players around like "OK Mrk1ller54 get the sniper, don't sass me I've been playing Halo for five years I was pro since Combat Evolved" Fuckin hate those people

The constant bitching by a "pro" at a new kid about him trying to help...then when the "pro" dies he bitches about that

The worst part is you try to get in and help the poor kid and all you do is get bitched out and they won't leave it alone...I'm a real people person I guess you could say...
