I actually liked it better without the tac knife pistol. I don't remember the specifics, but I know you got a bigger lag teleport with a regular commando knife as a result of the slower animation so people would get even more pissed at the insane teleports commando made you did. Plus it let you keep a shotgun or an SMG as your equipped weapon so you can shoot people to death in case of medium range emergencies. Granted, people in MW2 got mad at every single gimmick build you could think up with, and of course a gimmick build was anything that wasn't an assault rifle or sniper rifle. I had nothing but gimmick builds. SynthOrange posted:Maybe this video will answer your questions?

Pen and Paper D&D Grief: So if you've played D&D, you may have heard of the Hand of Vecna. The Hand is the actual severed left hand of the ancient Lich, Vecna. It's all blackened and charred, but it's actually a very powerful magical artifact. If a player chooses to cut off their left hand, and attach the HoV to the stump, the hand fuses to the player, and they can use it like their own hand, and they also gain all sorts of awesome magical abilities. Pretty cool, right? Vecna's Eye is another artifact that's leftover from the dead Lich, and Vecna's Robe shows up in one of the Baldur's Gate games. Needless to say, anything Vecna-related is going to be a good thing to get your hands on. Here's a story about the Head of Vecna, and how it caused a fair bit of chaos.

All being in slavery does is keep you from working some offline jobs which sometimes make you a little in-game money. You can pay the useless funny money that everyone has way too much of to get rid of it.

Surprisingly Wushu does not appear to have that much of an RP crowd. Oh sure, people will yammer on about "honor" and demand duels and such, but that's the extent of it as far as I've seen. Except for Emei chat. Emei chat is terrible.

Correct me if i'm wrong but the ability to castrate other players is contingent on you yourself already being castrated, which should answer any question anyone has about why you'd want to do it.The Zombie Guy posted:Pen and Paper D&D Grief: Pretty much all Vecna related artifacts automatically make you evil (alignment is dumb) so anybody who falls for the Head of Vecna is not only dumb, but also a powergaming rear end in a top hat who totally deserves it.

Every version of the story doesn't really go into the details. They're probably playing in person (Judging by the GM trying not to laugh) so the Druid's player probably passed a note or told the GM about wanting to do something on their own and then did a private session at some point.

^^^ To add on to this, it's likely that this occured over several sessions. Group one and two may have never met and it might have been set up in such a way that they wouldn't meet out of game until they actually met in-game.

It's not uncommon for players to pass notes amongst themselves or between the GM (or text, or use some other means of communication) to do stuff between themselves or without anyone's knowing. Though it's possible that the Druid's player is good enough to not let his OOC knowledge compromise his in character knowledge, though I'm certain he might've stopped short of cutting off his own head, and instead just brought it to the group in that case. Depending on the group, they may have done this out of a normal session without the druid being present.

I will never understand how CoD is so popular with such bad game design. Instant kill knives that everybody has. Seems like a good idea! Even sillier: Lets give the players who are already winning abilities which make it easier to win! That's genius! The ultimate CoD griefers are the devs.

MW is 'narrow enclosed urban fighting: the game' and has a game mechanic where knifing someone kills their progress and potentially the round's progress as well. Battlefield is 'holy poo poo guns tanks planes and helicopters exploding everywhere' and has no such progress-killing mechanic. One is great for griefing. The other is more fun to play.

With all these crazy CoD super-knife-jump builds, I can't help but think the developers wanted to make an anime ninja game, and disguised it as soldiers to sell more copies.
