Can you still get banned from CoD servers for using perks like Last Stand or Martyrdom? I tried playing MW1 at a friends ages ago and took Martyrdom and that's apparently a huge faux pas. I was promptly kicked from the server.

Distinct servers as a concept haven't existed since MW1.

Black Ops 1 was the only exception. Those quickly turned into "oorah o7 o7 o7 tactical crouch walking only" spergboxes.

The more salient point is that those perks don't exist anymore anyways. The last time you were able to do anything at all after death was Mod 3.

Technically not true. There is a fun game called peekaboo where you cook a grenade and chase an unsuspecting victim you win if it explodes and surprises them. If they catch on and kill you, well, they have a set time to get away. Those rage mics were the best.

The ultimate CoD griefers are the devs.
Alternative version : Rather than try to rubber band your game to make sure everyone has a happy fair time by giving Super Lightning Powers to whoever is losing, whichever person or team has sufficient advantage over the opponents are accelerated towards their inevitable victory to ensure it isn't a drawn out painful process.

There's a reason most Go games end in one player conceding; playing an inevitable result to conclusion is boring and pointless compared to starting afresh.

This is unironically one of the most fun things to do if you're messing around. There's even an XP awarding challenge for it in MW2 which is how I first found out about it. It's pretty easy to catch snipers even in splitscreen if you're sneaky.

I'm trying to find a video I saw a couple months ago of a dude who would find people streaming bf3 or 4 or something and crash MAVs/UAVs into them and play their reactions alongside him killing them, does anyone know what I'm talking about? He was named 'unlimitedmavammo' or osmething.

It didn't twig until about 3 minutes into the video where the guy brings it up... these guys are trying to snipe, which requires cover and concealment, while streaming. How did they expect that to work?

You have to consider the sample size. In a given city, lightning might strike anywhere from only a few dozen to over a 100 times in a given year. Worldwide? It happens about 45 times per second (thanks wikipedia!). If you had a camera hooked up to every part of the world, one of them would always be showing lightning. It's the same thing here.

Other than people watching the livestream and going "man, I should troll them", the odds are astronomically low that someone else playing the same game let alone in the same match are watching their livestream to find out where they're hidden.

Meltdown kid is such an attention whore he uploaded the video onto his own channel as well. Sans mommy! part.

He turned off comments though. When he first posted it they were active. It went about as well for him as you'd think.


Speaking of old videos that have been posted before though - there's something I'm way too lazy to search through the thread for. Anyone got a link to an old San Andreas grief video? A couple guys messing with people that try to run a taxi service to earn money. Player A calls a cab while at the end of a pier. Cab shows up, and player B comes barreling down the pier ramming the taxi into the water. Sounds dumb as Hell, but it just killed me to see it.

My understanding is that it is no longer possible to kill people with the MAV in Battlefield 4. Which makes the grief so much better. :allears:

You can definitely kill people with the China Rising UAVs though. The SUAV doesn't seem to get destroyed if you crash into someone.

Shoving people around to screw with their aim seems like it almost has more potential than just killing them, alot of these guys seem to value their "sniping skills" rather highly. Well done.

It leans much more on the presenter's personality, off-the-cuff commentary and audience participation.

And occasionally begging for money I suppose.

It's people playing video games and streaming it in realtime over the internet. This means if you find a live-stream in progress you can try to find the streamer in game to troll him.

Let's plays tend to be older games as well, live-streams are usually to show of new games or content.
