Back when counter strike source was in the transition period from normal servers to "PRO SURFERS - n0grav Scoutz v Knvies only Rofl", Me and a bunch of mates would all change our names to POOMUFF and join the surf servers. We'd all start mic spamming various terrible songs, but otherwise we wouldn't do anything. Once there was only one normal player left, we'd kill him. But the round wouldn't end. We wouldn't kill each other, just jumped around mic-spamming and delaying the start of the next round indefinitely. Once everyone had rage quit the server, we moved on to the next one.
Oh the joys of fourteen year olds on the internet...

This has got to be the best part. He's obviously uncomfortable about what he's hearing and he should be aware that what he's hearing can be heard by anyone watching the stream, yet he never bothers to stop the stream or even mute the audio.

In other words, I'll never get why people show themselves off playing games, nor why people watch them.

For a minute it was funny but then I realized I was that angry when I was a kid because of all the poo poo I put up with in school.

Considering how easy it is to do, you could probably empty a server, cause massive rage across the communication channel, or get banned in record time from said server. All you need to do according to Zelmarked is just spawn as support, drop an ammo box in a hidden niche where nobody will ever go (or can even get to), switch to MAV class, and go to town. He does it himself and you see how fast he brings out the MAVs. Imagine multiple people doing this. I would really dig a video where at least 3 or 4 people minimum were infinite MAVVing the competition. It has absolutely no cons - you will likely never die and the enemy only gets a 50 point bonus for destroying equipment.

Then EA will nerf it and nobody will ever use the MAV again :v:

Have goons tried to get a person on top of an MAV and ride it around? That would be the best.

So, that game. Why were those two streamers sitting in the middle of a mountain and looking at that city? That seems both pointless and boring. I'd start launching MAVs at them if I were on their team.

Dick Burglar

They're being worthless "snipers." Their idea of a sniper is someone who sits far, FAR away from the engagement area so they're not likely to get shot, let alone snuck up on and knifed, and plink away at people way down on the battlefield. Except they suck, and there is bullet travel time and bullet drop in that game, so they can't hit poo poo unless their target sits still for ten seconds straight. They're terrible and deserve all the mockery and taunting that they get.

When playing BC2, every time I strolled by a friendly sniper camp as an assault, I'd just pop a smoke on top of them and moved on. I knew a few people who did this and it was such a small and minor troll but it still got them pretty riled up. If they get smoked enough, they'd just quit, which is for the best for everyone involved. The problem with snipers like that is that you'd literally see 4 or 5 or more of them all clustered up on the same rock competing over the same kills, being utterly useless to the team. They seriously may as well just not be in the match at all, them taking up slots on your team was an active detriment to your success. I'd rather have stupid newbies running around dying because at least they're a distraction and they might get a kill every now and again, and will help you capture points. But the snipers? gently caress those guys.

edit: This goes for almost every FPS with snipers. TF2? You'll see four snipers vying for control over their position in the same loving window looking out over the same viewpoint.

My friend plays Call of Duty Black Ops 2 all the time and there was one game he found a sniper who, literally, was camping the entire round out in the middle of nowhere, not moving, like he was an AI Bot or something. So he gets a care package and then throws the flare out right on top of this guy. Your character shouts "CARE PACKAGE OUT!" when this happens but this guy made no movement and didn't react to it. And the smoke, my friend said, was right on top of his gun.

Then he describes to me his ecstasy as the care package wafts down from the sky closer and closer to crushing this guy. Then it finally does and he laughs about it for a good while. Then the camper immediately returned to the same spot and never helped the team. And it was Domination mode too. He said the guy had 11 kills and 0 deaths up to the point he threw that care package at him.

I think it's really funny in BF3 when you see lone snipers just camping on top of cranes and poo poo and doing absolutely nothing to help people and also thinking they're going to win big or something.

And for that guy's dad on the stream, I feel bad for him being in that situation :smith:

That's a paddlin'

MAV kills are super satisfying because it's actually hard to control, especially if the guy is running around or laying prone. Having said that, I have like 100 hours clocked in BF3 and more MAV kills than any other weapon.

The secondary benefit to harassing people with MAV's is that you can get 2-3 people firing wildly into the air while you dance around letting your teammates pick up easy kills

e- you can also fly in front of your own team's lovely snipers and distract them, of course

There's a similar thing in BC2, except that you have to be at a fixed UAV station on the map to control it and it can actually come equipped with weapons depending on your kit. It's actually quite good for taking out enemy armor but the trade off is that you can easily be picked off since everyone knows where you are.

It's also one of the best anti-air options: take the UAV, fly high into the sky and find an enemy chopper. Lower the UAV into their rotors and watch the kill feed for enemy suicides, because the physics engine will send the chopper plummeting to the ground. You can then continue with your business (which should be guiding missiles onto tanks).

A friend a mine was assigned a Live ID as well and his was "ElvishMage". People would sometimes try to make fun of him by making jokes about D&D losers because they thought he was into it based on the name.

I still wonder what the hell Microsoft was thinking when they decided to let the Xbox account name the user instead of the other way around.
