There's another glitch where the RED team can build on top of a barn that's technically out of bounds on 2Fort. That one pisses a lot of people off.

In the original Modern Warfare, Last Stand and Martyrdom were considered griefing. Last Stand was somewhat justifiable in the claim, because when you were transitioning into the prone "last stand" animation, you were completely invincible. People would tend to just dump the clip, so they'd empty their gun into you while you were invulnerable and then you'd shoot them in the face with your pistol. I used Last Stand all the time, because I don't mind being called a no skill noob if I'm winning.  Martyrdom was more because retards would stop by your corpse after killing you instead of just contuining to move. The live grenade it drops would then kill them. If you keep moving, even at a leisurely pace rather than a dead sprint, you'll be well out of the blast radius before you even know the grenade is there. I think both perks were removed or heavily modified in the later games, but I've never been willing to shell out the money for them to find out.

Last Stand + the scroll wheel trick + setting a thumb button to "scroll wheel down" was pretty hilarious. Combining the Extreme Conditioning perk and the bugged p90 (free extreme conditioning) along with the 3x special grenades really pissed people off. Everybody hates flashbangs and even more so when the guy using them can sprint 4x longer than you can.

Basically, it was an free to play online 3D fighting game where you'd be pitted against a handful of other players trying to get the highest score by the end of the match. Most of the weapons in the game were guns, but there were also swords too, and there was a glitch that basically allowed sword users to cancel their animations before they finished and thus spasm around the map at absurd speeds and pretty much maim anything that got in their way. Of course, since this was a free to play game, the devs didn't give a poo poo and never fixed it, eventually calling it a feature.

I got so much hate I did the knife lunge thing on maps with bottomless pits. The sword people would use it to scale walls super fast and if you caught them with the tail end of the lunge it'd knock them off into the pit and it would cause endless amounts of rage, especially if you flung yourself off and fell into the pit with them. Bonus points if you rolled a new character and went into the free channel and knock the super high level sperges into the pits since their cash items wouldnt help them out at all.

I'm only up to page 60 on this thread but I thought I would add my story. Many years ago, there was a buggy Half-Life mod called Zombie Panic. The round starts off with one player as a zombie and the rest as survivors. When a survivor dies, that player turns into a zombie with limited movement abilities. The game has no timer and the survivors could camp a room with shotguns for as long as they needed. This is where my friend and I came in. There was a map that had a very high wall roughly the height of 3 standing people or 6 crouched people. A two person totem pole wouldn't work for only my friend and I however, there was a rooftop to another building next to this wall that we found to be a better option. One afternoon, while there was no admin on the server, we coordinated a mad dash for this rooftop next to this wall. Our first step was to immediately drop all our weapons to make ourselves run faster and jump higher. We make it to the wall without being detected by the first zombie and I tell my friend to stand on the very edge of the rooftop adjacent to the wall and crouch. I jump on his head and do a run-jump, taking advantage of the extra foot of distance his body gave me from standing on the edge. I land the jump and everyone goes about their business. Now, at this point, the only way for anyone to really care about my amazing position is to have all the survivors die and turn to zombies. My friend goes around the map giving away positions, absorbing damage from the survivors bullets and opening up doors. Eventually everyone is a zombie including my friend. Eventually, the zombie players find me jumping like an imbecile on top of this ridiculously high wall. I type "check mate" in all chat and my friend and I decide to go get dinner. While we were eating, we speculated that these players had already wised up and either left the server or managed to successfully coordinate a human totem pole to reach me. We begin to talk about cool movie ideas and forget about the game. We arrived back from TGIF a couple hours later and hop on our computers to a grad spectacle. The server is full, has all the same players and it's on the same round! I open my console and apparently they have already gone through their cussing and begging phase with me and were starting to cuss at each other for not being able make a human totem pole. I spin my character around to get their attention and all eyes are on me. I type "hey guys. back from dinner. what did I miss?". I must have seriously stressed these people out with my afk'ness because some people were angry, some were crying and some even laughed. I finally jump down 10 minutes later after making each one of them individually ask me to politely to come down off the wall.

Griefing Killing Floor is pretty fun now and again. Especially during or immediately after it is on sale and most of the servers are full of new players straight from COD. The preferred method of my friend and I was to simply stand at the entrance of the trader at the end of the round, preventing anyone from getting in and replenishing ammo or buying new weapons. With two people you can block every trader entrance. It was especially fun on the map West London because there was a bug where you could access one of the trader locations through a locked door, so one of us could restock on ammo while the other blocked the open trader. Using grenades to blow up welded doors is fun too, particularly if there is a fleshpound on the other side since it not only lets him in but enrages him.

PUNCHITCHEWIE posted:Ok so camping is griefing and capping the flag is griefing and using a pistol is griefing I guess. Awesome. Well, if this is true, it reminds me of when I play Arena in TF2. Arena usually isn't popular, but it's the preferred gamemode of a mod I like to play called "Randomizer", which chooses your class and weapon-loadout for you every round, making skill pretty meaningless when you wind up with weapons that are largely useless while the other team has sniper-rifles and rocket-launchers out the wazoo, or vice-versa. It's just a good way to blow off some steam and remind yourself what some of the more obscure guns can do. Anyway, in Arena mode, every player on both teams only gets one life. If they get killed by someone, they have to sit the rest of the round out and just watch as their team fights with one less guy. Matches usually end when everyone on one team dies, but there's also one capture point in the middle of the map that activates after a short time period that you can capture to win the match, to prevent stalemates and provide a focal point for the action. For some retarded reason, capturing the point is heavily frowned upon in most arena matches. Thus, one team could be winning handily with only one or two guys on the other team hiding in some hole in some tiny part of the map behind a sentry gun, and the winning team will gladly walk into the line of fire to try and take it and him out. I, of course, know when doing something like this is incredibly stupid. One round, I watch the scoreboard go from "10-1" to "5-1" to "2-1", just go "gently caress this," and run to the middle of the map to stand on the capture point. Immediately, both the guy on the other team and everyone forced to spectate light up the chat with "NO CAPTURING!" and "OMG NOOB IS CAPPING! STOP CAPPING!" Soon, my brilliant strategy of standing in one place while a bar at the bottom of my screen fills up pays off, and my team wins. Everyone wonders why I did that, and I respond with "Well, I wanted my team to win, so I did what I could to make that happen." The regulars on the server were to quick to inform me that if a mod was there, I would have been banned. This has yet to happen.

I think the newer COD games have a shot limit though, where if you shoot to fast you'll just stop shooting for a second. Like milktank said, just killing people with a pistol sends people off the deep end. Its like they're self griefing themselves with how angry they get.

Why the gently caress don't they just program a minimum delay between shots? Just having one click equal one shot with nothing else controlling it sounds like the programmers just being lazy as poo poo.

A rocket spawns heading to a person (it will make a noise when it's locked on you I think) and you have to perform a pressure blast at the right moment to send it off targetting a random pyro on the other team. You can't burn each other, but there is absolutely nothing stopping you from running up the enemies and blasting them around like chestnuts at a squirrel party. Angle your blast up and see how long you can juggle them. Bonus points if they get fragged while being bounced. I was doing it on one server with an admin on and man he was so pissed he could not ban me. It was a sort of unspoken rule to not do that kind of poo poo, but it's actually in the official game rules and is easy to remove if the mod creator wanted blasting other players to be removed.

HoldYourFire posted:They do. If you fire a semi-auto too fast it jams, at least in MW3. If you use semi-auto's with rapid fire, or whatever it's called, it removes the cap on firing rate so you can still use the scroll wheel. Anyway, I believe I was one of maybe 100 people to actually play Mortal Kombat vs DCU, so I'll share a story. Basically everyone would sit in a largish lobby and invite eachother to unranked matches for fun, but people took these matches very, very seriously. Now I'm not at all good at fighting games, so I needed an advantage. If you were one of the other people that played this game, you know that that came in the form of The Flash. The Flash could sprint across the stage very quickly and send the opponent into a spinning stunlock, and you could repeat this over and over. Most people would wait until I chose first to avoid anyone picking the flash, so I would hover over someone else and just switch quickly. If you didn't block, and weren't good, you would almost always lose. This drove people loving bonkers for no reason, as they were unranked matches. Another way you could piss people off big time was a trick I discovered. I would pick Liu Kang and do that bicycle kick, and then you would do any attack that juggled the opponent. You could do this over and over, locking them in the air and whittling at their health until they hit the invisible barrier at the edges of the stage and I dropped them, only to backpedal and restart the whole fiesta. I got a quite a few messages. Another story,I used to play WC3 custom games, including a game called LoaP, or Life of a Peasant, which was a terrible game where you could play as the police or peasants or the mob and a few others, so I would pick the police and arrest someone, which made it so they couldn't play the game. I don't know why they would try pleading for 20 minutes rather than just leaving. There was also a worldedit where I would alt-tab and look for cheat codes and ruin the game for all the super serious rpers. I also got banlisted on DotA during my first game in a lobby called Noob Friendly or something. I wasn't good enough. During my first game.

WC3 in its prime was the best place to grief with all the custom maps and thousands of fresh meat. One of the things I did when playing Tree Tag (hide and go seek) was when the game came to a close telling my team this entire time I've been /w(messaging) the infernals(the "its") when to camp spawn(to prevent rescuing tagged players). Even though I did no such thing they would always believe me and rage hard.

WC3 Custom maps owned. Island defence was a really cool combination of a tag game and a TD. One person was a titan who went around hunting for buildings and workers to kill for EXP and everyone else was one of several "builders", who were usually the only guys who could build, and all handled very differently. THe way the game worked was that the titan would have a base with some shops, and as he killed stuff he'd get money to buy items. THe builders would have to gather resources and eventually build a base to keep the titan out, but they could only harvest lumber. If you wanted gold you had to go attack a gold mine in the centre of the map, so it ended up being a really tense game where everyone would run in and get a couple of gold before running back to some cheap fortifications to hide. It was a really easy game to grief too. When a players main builder dies all their buildings disappear, the entire map is revealed and the player becomes a mini-titan, who's weaker than the main titan but still really useful. So if you wanted to screw people over you'd wait until everyone had set up their temporary lumber bases then die and watch as everyone screams at you. Warcraft 3 also uses a grid system for building placement, and units would have a size in grids. Titans were 2x2 sized and builders were 1 grid, so builders would build bases with passageways narrow enough for them to access but too small for the titans. It was extremely easy to block a builder in one of those narrow passageways when they went to repair a wall and scream as the titan smashed through their walls eventually killing them. drat now I really want to play that game again...
