I'll be the first to admit that I'm a terrible shot with pretty much all weapons, but I'm lethal with melee weapons. This is a problem in GTA IV. Bravo. I used to enjoy playing the co-op grind modes and always going, taking one of the helos, and crashing it into the vip/plane/people/other helos. Or waiting for everyone (including the VIP) into the helo, and then flying in the wrong direction, straight up or into the side of the building. And since 'ranked' games pit you with a new group of people each time, it's always a new group of guys. Another great thing is flying directly into the landing zone, at high speed, with the cock pit pointed at the ground. That's great because they think it's all good and then WHAT THE gently caress YOU'RE THE WORST loving HELICOPTER PILOT EVER YOU OCKSUCKING human being YOU FUCKINGSUCK! GRRGRGRGRGRGRGR. PS we should join each other in free play after my xbox gets fixed.

I gave SL another go, and found some goons in W-Hat who proceeded to make fun of me for being a cock-hungry human being, and claimed they were going to give me a W-Hat invite, but they had to get it out of their pockets. I don't think I'm going to get that invite

They used to have terminals that you used to register for w-hat at the Baku sim (the sim w-hat used to own before they bought the island; they still had them after they bought the what island, but this was about a year ago). It's not worth it, though. Unless something drastic has changed, the only benefit of being in w-hat is that your stuff didn't disappear from the group sim after a few minutes. Non members would go into the sim all the time and not be noticed or even aided (unless they were especially dumb); hell, the place was rife with 4-chan members.

Not the ultimate holy gently caress grief or anything, but a fun way to get an entire server pissed at you in UT came from the fact that in the .ini file, you could bind a single key to do multiple and unrelated actions. So, as Annoying_Man, I bound every movement key to also say to the server what that movement was: Annoying_Man: Now I am running forwards! Annoying_Man: Now I am strafing left! Annoying_Man: Now I am jumping! Annoying_Man: Now I am switching to the rocket launcher! Messages would scroll non-stop, making any legit team messages anyone typed (these were the days before voice com) scroll through the window too fast to be read, annoying the gently caress out of everyone until they were all shouting (i.e., typing in CAPS so I knew they meant business) to shut the gently caress up. Facing Worlds was the perfect map for griefing, due to the Impact Hammer. You run to the other team's tower, go to the top, and keep your impact hammer charged and pointed at the teleport portal. Anyone who went through got insta-gibbed, generally took a coordinated team effort to get you down from there. And when that got old, you took advantage of the impact hammer's ability to hit your own teammates (even with no FF) to find snipers on your team and impact hammer them into space. Funny how as they were flying into orbit, they would always fire their guns all the way until they gibbed.

So I recently discovered that the grenades team switch trick works on TF2. The only difference is instead of the opposing team you go spectator. The idea is go Demo, fire pipe bombs (weapon 1) at the ground and then switch to spec before they explode. They will deal full damage to anyone next to them. You can do this during setup or during the game (24/7 2fort snipers are great for this). Lets see if we can run this into the ground faster than the flares exploit.

Get kritzed, reflect rockets towards the largest cluster of both teams, jointeam unassigned. I managed to kill 4 people from each team with this number once, and noone knew what the gently caress.

Yeah it's loving dumb.  Plus no one seems to care about bottleguy anymore. Time to retire him for something new, I think.This weekend, I had some time and decided to actually be a good medic and heal people. Of course, I was healing engineers, who were very confused about the whole thing. The rage, oh the rage, when I'd uber them as they upgraded their dispensers, and continue healing them even when we were getting attacked and the heavies/etc were getting mowed down.  It was hilarious, and at times I had to step away for a second because I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to pass out.

One grief that still works in the latest iteration of Battlefield (1943) Load up a landing craft and drive it out of bounds. They can either spend 5 minutes swimming back to shore, suicide, or get killed when the boundary timer expires.

Weren't you able to park the back half of a flying transport outside the boundary so that the passengers would be hosed over but the pilot would not? In the older Battlefields, at least. It's been a while, I don't remember.

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, there is a way to teamkill people in TF2 without the cvar being on. 1) Bind an arbitrary key to "spectate" 2) Be a Demoman 3) Launch grenades and quickly hit your spectate button before they go off When you go spectator you don't "own" the grenades so they will hurt allies and such, Since teammates generally move around a bunch I suggest ruining some Engineers bases and blowing up some Snipers.

That grenade bug is already driven into the ground and has less potential for interesting stories than even some of the more narrow glitches of the past (e.g. the flare glitch). Literally just the other night after reading this thread when that was mentioned, I logged onto a 2Fort server to find three people doing it over and over, usually coordinating their efforts. It probably would have been more annoying but even with 12 live grenades between them they were lucky to get one kill per triple-suicide, and on occasion they'd take down a building, while other times they'd attack it for a dozen runs and it'd still be standing. The worst part was they were on mics and the whole time they were cracking up over themselves. I stayed for about two minutes and switched to another server -- to witness the exact same thing. More people giggling at their own griefing, everyone else just mildly annoyed, them generally not making any kills. I hopped around some 2Fort servers because I figured that would be where it was most commonly being exploited. Out of 8 visited servers, 5 had people doing this.

They were pretty bad. 4 pipes can kill an engy or a sniper just sitting there just dont be stupid. With 2 demos I could probably kill a level 2 sentry. 3 could wreck a sentry farm with ease.

Fallout Online has had many stupid game-design moves by the devs, but when you hang out with the goons on Vent, it's ultimately an incredibly fun time in which we grief a hell of a lot of people. Usually this means using sneak (an incredibly overpowered skill) to render yourself almost invisible to people a couple feet away with a high enough level, and making a critical-based sniper or big damage big gun character to blow them away. Verviticus (the leader), WorstPro (evil big guns sneaker), and I (regular sniper) sat in a car map near NCR a few days ago, waiting for people to enter. (When a car is parked, you can enter its location through a green circle on a map.) Now originally, once you entered a location such as a city, you were fair game. Due to many complaints, the devs instituted a Negotiation skill that rendered people invincible for a set time after being attacked - which was quickly taken down since it was stupid and exploitable. Now, once you enter an area with an exit grid, you are temporarily invincible yet cannot shoot or do anything but move for a set period of time (6-10 seconds?). The reason we were camping here was because this effect doesn't take place on a car map. If a nublet came into the map, they'd run to the trap of random small guns and ammo we placed down near the car, and I'd shoot them in the eye and take out a piece of their head and go loot them as they said "gimme my stuff back!!" and kept zoning in. If someone with a bit more skill came in - say, with a rifle and leather armor - Verviticus would shoot them with a laser rifle, neatly eviscerating them in half as they whined and moaned about stupid PK'ers. If one or two combat-ready people came in, we all opened fire. We held this car camp for a good two hours, racking up thirty or fourty kills and looting tons of weapons and ammo, just waiting for some crazy russian contingent of 8 fully decked guys to come try and wreck our poo poo - but no one came. Mission: "PK and steal from a bunch of faggots" a success!

The best grief the past week, however, was Verviticus' doing. Verv has a sneak-energy weapons character and frequently enters NCR, the most active town, to see what's going on. He found some douchebag roleplayer in the town, about to go into the wastes. On a hunch, he followed the player, expecting him to see Verv in his party and go right back in town to abandon him. But the only reaction he got was 'you probably shouldn't follow me, you'll die' and continued. The RPer eventually got to his tent (a single-player base that you can construct), which was filled with guns, ammo, items, a car, and a few hired NPC mercenaries for protection. Verv ran in to take stock of the situation, but on another admonition by the RPer, ran away, presumably to leave the map, telling him that "he got scared." "You should be," said the RPer, and went about his business. Of course, he stayed on the map, hidden from view in sneak mode, while the RPer finally left for other affairs. Verv eventually stole just about everything in this character's base, including the keys to his car, hundreds of ammo, quite a few decent guns, and 24,000 caps (a huge sum of money in the game) - basically taking his entire fortune. I was in town yesterday and came across him in the town square, and decided to instacrit him from 45 hexes away. He couldn't even see me on his screen. After he died, I immediately sneaked and ran away from the russian ganksquad that just entered the town, and quickly looted his corpse. All he had was a single-shot pipe rifle and a crappy SMG with a couple rounds of ammo, doing a small quest for a pittance of caps.

If you're within however many metres of an object, you can probably sit on it. I would argue that, strictly speaking, it's a bug because you're not meant to be able to get into someone's house if they don't want you there. I spent about twenty minutes the other night getting repeatedly kicked from a couple's house. The dude was wearing leather biker chaps and a cap, and the girl was naked, chained up to the floor...and the dude was standing there with a boot on her head. They were doing some weird slave/master thing and cybering in chat. The room had seats all over the place. Every time they would kick me out, I'd appear in a new chair, smiling my friendly box-bot smile at them. Occaisionally, I would have enough time to get out of the chair and walk over to them for a little dancing before I'd get kicked out again. The only reason they didn't get messed with for longer is because I got bored of loving with them and left, not because the game mechanics did what they were supposed to do - keep me out. A person using simple camera clipping to get through their walls and selecting a chair to sit down in a house I'm supposed to be banned from shouldn't happen, but I do it on a fairly regular basis. That's the definition of a bug.

Aw man. Nothing that serious but in the last update, my regular server for tf2 broke somehow and there is no longer a limit on how often you can spray. Now, I'm a compulsive sprayer, possibly dating back to playing CS:S and posting pictures of my then girlfriend and soon to be ex-girlfriend's tits all over the place. Anyways, I just spray out of habit non-loving stop, playing oblivion on the PC was tough cause I'd just be bored walking somewhere, and look down and hit T only to have the wait menu brought up. Anyways, something dawned on me last night, and it was fun as hell while it lasted (server owner showed up, admins thought it was hilarious too but he didn't like it )So running around spraying non-stop is kinda funny (my spray is the 'today i will sex! guy so he looks like he's mid-step so moving him works pretty well). aaaand the simple ol' script: alias spray "impulse 201; wait; spray" bind that to something, then hit it. I was one of the people back in CS:S who would buy nightvision every drat round, and let me say that this sound is FAR far more annoying

After learning to hate the Diablo 2 community all over again I started making games called "Free SOJs" just to see how many people would rush in and beg. After that got a few laughs I made "Free PTorch". Paladin Torches are extremely valuable items so people hung around a lot longer and started frantically searching when I told them I'd hidden it "somewhere in act 2". Meanwhile I'm off killing bosses just watching people try to party with me to find me and begging for hints. This lasted long enough to kill Diablo and Baal. For best results, when you're done killing things tell them that time expired and you're taking the torch with you.  Even better is when one guy claims to have found it while his friend dies trying:  You can also tell them it's hidden in a huge, dark maze with tiny Stygian Dolls who can one-shot some players with their death explosion.

With Diablo 2 on hardcore you could always make a 'ACT 4 HELL RUN' game and a number of people would join. You could have a TP to wherever, it didn't really matter tell them there is some loot on the ground outside the TP. Except outside the TP you really lured a ton of monsters. There is a slight delay after you go into a TP where you can't go back through the TP again. This is especially good if you can get a unique flame lord or whatever they are called since they do a ton of initial damage.
