Heh, the Javelin glitch reminds me of the Jihad tactic from MW1 (martyrdom/2xFrag/whatever makes bigger explosions, all while holding a stun grenade and running around like an idiot).

The setup is different in MW2, but I wonder if the same tactic will work. Martyrdom is a deathstreak now, but if you keep dying and only get your kills after you die and stun somebody with your dropped stun grenade, then the Martyrdom perk may stay on you, and you can keep up the griefing sans ban risk. Though there will be no knifing (you're holding the stun grenade).

For perks, there's Danger Close, naturally. Scavenge, for when you run across a dead body so you can toss your held stun grenade at a probable target and immediately resupply, and I guess anything from the green perk list will do. I don't know what SitRep is for so hey.

Time to test this theory!

I believe the funniest story of griefing I've ever heard of was from the old days of Ultima Online. One of the guys we were playing with lured a character into his house with the promise of helping them out as they were pretty clearly new to the game. After getting her into the house he proceeded to lock her behind some tables against a wall in the house. He spent the majority of the day loving with them until he finally placed an oven and had her baking for him. This was long before context menus to leave house so the character was pretty much hosed. She stayed trapped in his house for over a day until she figured out how to page a GM and he was banned.

My own personal griefing was probably the most memorable in this small half-life mod called Pirate's Viking and Knights(HL1, not 2). I found out that you could type +attack in console, step on a health pack (food) and type kill in console, and your immortal carcass would be able to slide around the map. It had normal hit-boxes of a living person so you could block doors with impunity.

Well this one map had this tiny, box shaped spawn that had just enough space to spawn 3 people comfortably, any more and they would be telefragged (instantly killed and replaced with a flurry of organs to anyone who didn't play half-life) well after discovering the corpse thing, the cat was out of the bag and I conspired with a friend to trap the knight team inside their spawn while one of would constantly respawn and telefrag them.

One person would spawn and press up against the blocker trying to get out, then 2 more would spawn, one would die, then 2 would respawn, the first would die and pretty soon it would snowball until everyone is frantically trying to respawn and instantly being telefragged. In about 10 seconds the room would be replaced with a literal butchers shop of intestines, skulls and blood all the while raging in chat about not being able to leave the spawn. Eventually the other teams would gather around to watch the spectacle and when 8 people are constantly being telefragged the organs were flying out of the spawn like a popcorn machine. My buddy and I crying in laughter the whole time.

Another map didn't require blocking because the mapmaker didn't give enough spots to spawn. We would both stay dead with the +attack trick to prevent respawning until someone spawned inside the boat, we would then both simultaneously respawn starting off the gib vortex. The boat would quickly turn into a vile meat wagon of body parts and people desperately trying to escape the ship of doom, killing eachother even faster in the process.

Yeah. The deathstreak attribute nerfs it anyway.

At any rate, just plain old Semtex with Danger Close/Scavenger/random green perk works almost as well if it weren't for the explosion delay, but Danger Close takes care of that anyway. At the least, it works great for game types that require the enemy to be in a certain place, like Headquarters or Domination. It's the next best thing, (best being dual 1887s of course) and it's not a glitch, so they can't care bear you into stopping.

MW2 is absolutely effortless to grief. A few of my friends and I have GAY? as our clan tag, and this alone is enough to get some people screaming into their mics for the duration of the match.

I just got out of a match with two dudes from Kentucky who spent the entire match spewing anti-gay hate speech instead of playing the game. Upon losing, they threatened to put a "Horse Virus" on my PS3. It'll work, you know, because the PS3 has a hard drive. :confused:

This kind of thing happens every other match.

Not so much a video game grief as a bit of a real life grief, but recently I walked by some vacant classroom at my university and saw a bunch of nasty obese nerds playing some sort of CCG. They seemed to be having a pretty good time of it, arguing about magic effects or pokemon or whatever bullshit. I just wandered up next to the table they were playing on, pretending to be a TA or something for a class that was going to start soon, writing poo poo on the blackboard. Then I deliberately crouched down as if to write something on the blackboard in such a way that my backpack ended up on top of half the cards on the table - then turned sideways and scraped their whole game onto the floor. They all looked at me like "WTF?" and I just said "Whoops!" and walked out before they could say anything to me.

On the board, I had written: "Get a life fags"

I occasionally play some Company of heroes online, but one thing that really annoys me is the attitude of basically all of the players in 2v2 automatch. Anything you do is likely to lead to them becoming exasperated by your capping order and other stupid irrelevant poo poo. One guy the other day told me to stop wasting units. We were about 20 minutes into the game and doing fairly well, but there was a huge messy crossfire in the middle of the map that the german team had clearly won. So I assembled all of my troops nearby to the fight and began to use the 'attack here' map indicator to suggest that he watch what I was about to do over and over again. I then proceeded to march them all into enemy machine gun fire in front of him. Between that and grenading his cloaked snipers to death he quit.

Also, sometimes I start a 3v3 game as the germans with a friend on my side with the only intention being to rush our pioneers over to the third player's base and make a sandbag prison around his hq and any buildings he makes.
