I just spent a good 15 minutes with Crackdown 2 killing kids with a helicopter. And no, I wasn't hunting them down with miniguns or blowing them up with rocket launchers. That came later. There was one kid and his friend who couldn't get a helicopter as they couldn't jump far enough yet. I offer them a ride over to the big helipad with my chopper. Now, normally when you fly low to the ground the little landing legs extend, which also let people grab on. I was just above that point, having my legs retracted. They spent a good 10 minutes jumping from underneath, head first into my rotor blades, killing themselves instantly over and over again. I, of course, keep telling them to not to jump so high, or jump from a different angle, or jump and hit Y. Eventually they gave up and then I chased them around the city with rocket launchers while they screamed at me.

I discovered a fun little thing to do in TF2, though most people probably figured it out. At the start of a round, in setup (works best), stand in front of an engineer whilst he's trying to place a building. He'll keep strafing around trying to find a place to put it, but you just keep up with him. Their reactions are pretty hilarious.

Better yet; let him build his SG. As soon as he gets it up and moves out of the way, drop a teleporter entrance right where he would normally crouch to make repairs/upgrades. Make sure your exit is somewhere deep in enemy territory.

A good way to accomplish this is to simply hide an inactive exit wherever on any A/D map while playing D. As long as its not spewing out soldiers the enemy team won't go looking for it.

More Crackdown 2 fun: For those that haven't played either crackdown game, at the center of the map there is the agency tower. During multiplayer you can use it as a spawn point and also get helicopters if your agility skill is high enough. There is also a funny little easter egg. One of the chimneys is hollow and drops down below sea level into a giant toilet. The chimney, while small, is JUST wide enough to fit a helicopter. I fly in, and hover down to about halfway down. I then tell everyone to come meet me, and convince them to jump in. On the minimap all they can see is my triangle, and have no way of knowing I'm in a vehicle. I get 3 players to jump in more than once, right onto my whirling blades of death.

They later wise up, and end up blowing me up. Feeling victorious after defeating the "rear end in a top hat in the copter," they taunt me, daring me to come down again. I go grab another helicopter, but not after I attach explosives all around it. I fly up to the chimney, bail out, and let my helicopter fall to the bottom crushing, chopping, and then exploding when I hit the button. It was beautiful.

That reminds me, I did a reverse grief at this engineer who was trying to teleport me while I was sniping. He built a teleporter at my feet thinking I was too typically sniper-dense to notice and that I would just kinda walk over it while I was scoped in. Well, I noticed right away but I pretended I didn't. I walked all around it while scoped in, and then ran about 20 feet to the other side and started scoping there. He went over and picked up his tele and ran to where I was and placed it again. We went back and forth like this for about 10 minutes, and as far as he knew I was completely unaware this was going on so he kept trying.

It was harmless and not super funny or creative, I just enjoyed fooling this little engy.

im just trying to get you into bed
I've been playing Halo 3 again recently and I came across a wonderful way to piss people off. In CTF matches, people who take the flag tend to drop it and pick it up again as they run with it. Since you walk slower with the flag and dropping the flag throws it about a foot in front of you, doing this will make you move slightly faster. The downside is that the announcer will constantly repeat "FLAG TAKENFLAG DROPPEDFFLAG TAKENFLAG DROPPEDLAG TAKENFLAG DROPPED". I was getting pretty sick of this, so when someone was running the flag back to our base and dropped it, I picked it up before he did. Dude started screaming at me, I guess he was really looking forward to capturing that flag!

I used to test people in Halo 3 by getting on the mongoose and going behind the enemy and honking my horn to see what people would do. Most often they would kill me, but sometimes they would actually get on and we would go for a ride together.

Another good one, is to cover your vehicle in satchel charges or duck bombs, and then drive around suicide bombing people (You can trigger grenades while driving). Trying to complete race missions is against the will of Allah.

I used to do this all the time with the Warthog in Halo 2 before my Xbox (non-360) bit the dust. There's something deeply entertaining about being on the Blue team and driving up to the Red base, blaring your horn, and peeling away ten seconds later with a Red passenger next to you and a Red manning the mini-gun :unsmith:

I like driving the mongoose up to my flag toting teammate, and giving it a little bit of gas, driving just out of reach every time he tries to hop on.

Also fun to do in that annoying rocket/mongoose racing game if you're the driver.

The best ending you can get is pretty much just "Look, I think we've got this under control, it's alright PalmTreeFun, you can go." It's more unrewarding as it sounds, because it feels less like you've won and more like they're making up an excuse to kick you out. No hugs, no kiss-and-make-up, it's just "alright, thanks, goodbye." Realistic to a degree, but not very satisfying.

The very first time I played it I got them to open up about their problems and come to a resolution that saved their marriage, and they thanked me for being there to help them. :colbert:

Among the first things I've said in a playthrough, on a whim, was: "So how's Maria doing, Trip?"

After a full minute of slack-jawed staring, and me wondering if I killed the AI by accident, both kicked me out. Guess it's more realistic than I had taken it for granted :v:

I totally did this. They talked about how realistic it was. If there was a computer game/program with a full -- what's the word, Turing-ready? -- AI, the first thing I'd do is find something out, load my game, then mention it and watch the character gawk at me like I was psychic.
I walked in, sat down, and said "Trip, why don't you tell Grace about Maria?". I was hoping for "HOW DID YOU KNOWWWW"

And he just kicked me out. :(

Actually, if they're staring at you for a full minute, that's the AI chugging along. I thought it was bad when I loaded up Fraps and had 6-second reaction times because of it. I'm pretty sure this game just has really shoddy programming. It shows in a lot of places. Especially that distorting surfaces bug. This was made in OpenGL, and it only takes one line of code to fix that error. Oh, it's programmed in Java too.
