Alien Swarm is a pretty simple game, so the griefing ends up being somewhat juvenile, but you can get some people to rage pretty easy with creative use of the in-game hacking and/or friendly fire (or lack of firing due to being "over-cautious" about FF) if anyone wants a cheap thrill. The game is free on Steam too. "Why didn't you help me?!" "I was afraid I'd shoot you!"

I think my favorite thing about the moon video is that that dude went all the way to the crater to get the stolen hose instead of just getting a new one from the supply shed.

Nobody ever thinks to go to the shed, and I never would've thought he'd actually look on the map for a little squiggle looking line to find my stupid hose. Another fun one is spawning tons of hoses and nodes and interlocking them and to take off running. Physical hose mayhem. Nerolus fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Jul 20, 2010 |

Alien Swarm Emoticon Spam You may have noticed the *Smile* icon in game, and the ones for medic etc. well below is a little script I put together, press a button, it starts rapidly flashing them above your head, press again, and it stops. the bit after the // is what the icon is for. Some of them also make the character say something, so they'll constantly be shouting MEDIC NEED AMMO MEDIC HUH NEED AMMO Just make a file called autoexec.cfg in the <steam folder>steamapps/common/alien swarm/swarm/cfg folder. and paste the below into it. code:I wonder if spray tags will still work in this game.. edit: nope.. impulse 201 does nothing!  also for just the two faces, replace that big chunk with code:QwertySanchez fucked around with this message at 12:39 on Jul 20, 2010 |

Remember this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb_9vxXyqdU For those that aren't familiar with this map, a little backstory. In Team Fortress 2, new items are tied to players earning certain achievements, so there are custom servers dedicated to making it quick and easy to grind them. This is the latest version of a certain popular map, and the mapper added an easter egg. Perform a few obscure steps and this giant cat shows up, destroys the health lockers, spawns sentries, fires lasers and summons bees. eventually it whites out everybody's screens, both teams die, and the server resets. Now on its own, this is an easy grief. Stops the pubbies from earning their precious guns and hats, and everybody winds up sitting in front of a white screen for half the time. We took it a little farther. We showed everybody how to trigger the cat, and then told them that if you could defeat the 'boss,' it would instantly unlock every achievement. Now, an undertaking like that is obviously going to need to be organized, so I jumped in as the leader, barking orders and coordinating the effort. "Tharius, go blu, they need a backup medic!" "Engies, keep those dispensers up, the heavies need the ammo!" "Don't shoot, keep healing! You need to build uber for phase two!" Eventually I started screaming at them for being 'the worst guild I ever raided with.' "WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SAY NO SENTRIES UNLESS YOU'RE WRANGLING YOU JUST TOOK OUT RED'S DISPENSER GOD I CAN'T loving BELIEVE TH- GREAT, loving GREAT, WE WIPED AGAIN HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY rear end in a top hat" When I went back an hour later, they were still fighting it. You can't kill the cat.

Cool objection Phoenix Wright, but as I said the server automatically reloads the map three minutes after the cat is triggered. Which you'd know if you'd ever actually played it yourself. As you can see, there are no contradictions in my testimony.

So Alien Swarm came out recently, a free co-op game and co-op games always make good griefing. Play medic, pick medpacks for both weapon slots and no gun.  Click here for the full 1280x1024 image. Proceed to run around using your medpack swinging kung-fu to defeat your fair share of alien bugs. Bonus points for spinning constantly so it actually looks like you're a medpack swirling tornado of death.  Click here for the full 1280x1024 image. Wait until your teammates have had it with you and refuse to move another inch unless you heal them, then use all 18 of your medpacks at once.   Click here for the full 1280x1024 image. Once they switch gears and start complaining about me using too many medpacks I become indignant and ask "Which is it, do you want me to use them or not!?"

I have an idea for Alien Swarm that I haven't tried yet - bring a Hand Welder, run ahead of everyone else to a weldable door, and seal everyone else behind it. EDIT: Obviously this only works if no one else has good door-busting weapons/items. Tarezax fucked around with this message at 10:15 on Jul 22, 2010 |

Greedish posted:Any gun can bust a door. And in fact, chainsaws are amazing at busting them and duel chainsaws is faster than doing tech poo poo most of the time if you want to speed run it. It's hard to come up with really creative griefs for Alien Swarm honestly. But you can do lots of subtle ones, like deploying sentries in useless places/directions and then "forgetting" them, being the tech and taking forever, etc.

It's all pretty much friendly fire unless you get creative. Place healing beacons somewhere that the aliens can easily spit those explodey balls. Someone in the alien swarm thread said that you should tell new players to walk against the door while aliens are bashing it in to try and hold it up and keep them out. Weld people out. Weld people in. Replace your guns with fire extinguishers as soon as possible. and use only extinguishers. If you could put out aliens after they've been set alight that would have been awesome, but sadly not. if someone else on the team has grenades, throw a few into the group and blame the other guy.

On the level where you restore power to a generator there is this tiny closet like room with a hole in the ground that spawns aliens, the door to that room can be welded and people usually go in there atleast once to check it out.

I gave moonbase alpha a try because of the discussion a few pages back. Together with three others, I just wasted over two hours building this set of stairs:  Click here for the full 1021x762 image.  Click here for the full 1019x768 image. The only element of actual griefing involved was that we completely ignored the main mission, while the other two on the server went about their business, getting very frustrated that we were only building stairs. Building those stairs took far, far too long.

Good god, Garry's Mod is the easiest thing to grief ever. You don't even have to do it on purpose, because the community is Asperger's incarnate. I actually "play" the game normally at times. If you thought Trouble in Terrorist Town was bad, try an ordinary Sandbox/Wire server. So, the other day, I thought it would be cool to make a little sliding platform with a dome on top that opened and closed with a hydraulic (using regular tools, no Wiremod), so I could zoom around and plow into poo poo while being protected by a glass bubble. Anyway, I'm sliding around flatgrass at several hundred miles per hour, when I crash into a horse statue lodged under some PHX staircase, getting stuck underneath it. Some 'sperger starts screaming at the top of his lungs in the most hilarious way, and an admin/mod grabs my little bumper car with his physgun and whips me halfway across the map. Of course, sometimes I grief on purpose. My favorite thing to do is to make invisible explosives, freeze them, then rope them to places near other people with an extremely "high" negative add length, like -65535. Unfreeze it, and a few seconds later, somebody dies, or their contraption ignites. On a similar note, rope together two explosive barrels (not frozen, they only blow up if you move the barrels) and duplicate them. Wherever you spawn them with the duplicator, they instantly blow up, so you basically get a perfectly accurate, semi-automatic instant-kill explosion cannon. It's important that you don't freeze them, or else they'll spawn frozen when you duplicate them, and won't blow up until you un-freeze them. You can also rope together ordinary props or ragdolls this way. Watch Heavy fly through the air and have a seizure if you rope his head to his crotch, or make two gigantic skyscrapers flip out and smash the ground over and over, rumbling everyone's screens or killing them. I love to make griefing vehicles, too. For one, I have a kamikaze go-kart. It's just a wooden box with wheels, a seat, and a dynamite stick attached to the front, but you can run after people and explode it in their face. Sometimes you get lucky, and the wheels fly off and hit people in the face, killing them. My favorite, however, is my stealth bomber. It's a small PHX platform with a hoverball on each corner, a couple of cameras, and a prop spawner that creates the green and yellow PHX bombs, plus a couple of thrusters to move around. Change everything's color to white, alpha 0, and I can fly it around, raining shitloads of bombs on people. The only way they can tell what's happening is if it's on one of those servers that tells who spawned what in console, and even then, usually only admins bother to look. Perhaps the best part of it is that, unlike ordinary bomb spamming, people will usually start blaming each other (especially if you're dead or not near anyone), and you can do it in small doses. You'll usually get a lot of nerd rage this way. ...I should really record some of this poo poo. It's pretty drat funny. PalmTreeFun fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Jul 23, 2010 |

What I always did was take that big PHX torpedo cannon, throw a Wiremod - Physics "Forcer" in there so it'll push whatever's inside, make propspawning bombs (the ones you were talking about), make them invisible and make a ton of them around the world Actually that sounds fun, I'm going to do that right now again

PHX is a popular set of models. Basically saying something is a "PHX ____" means they made it with some basic flat/round/gear shaped models of various sizes instead of using something that came with the source engine.

Let me tell you, I was in a Garry's Mod clan that owned several servers and was pretty famous. I had some fun times griefing other people's servers, seriously- One of my favorite tricks was to exploit server settings. See, you can actually modify your objects using the tools so they noclip through the ground. You can apply this to hoverballs too! So guess what I did - I turned a combine monitor on its side so it looked like a spaceship, rigged it with thrusters so it turns and steers with my numpad, and did the nocollide exploit - Suddenly, I have a noclipping, goes through walls and the ground, rockets across the map, grief machine! Depending on the server, you can even weld a pod to the front along with some turrets - and be able to actually pilot it in first person with a camera, and turrets to shoot everyone in your path using ., and + and - to raise and lower your altitude using the hoverballs. It was the greatest thing to turn it invisible so I could literally fly under the map, spring up out of the ground at random, shoot someone, and fly back underground before anyone knew what the hell just happened. Not only that, but if you have the duplicator to save it, and a mod comes along and deletes it, you can just shoot and it's respawned. Also helps if the player gets mad enough to trap you in something. However, one of my favorite times was infiltrating "impenetrable" forts made in 'roleplaying' servers where there's an RP mod running with cops and mobsters or something, and some guy built a huge fort that nobody can supposedly get in and mess around in because they have DRUG MACHINES in there (a little backstory - this gamemode allows you to make money by doing things like selling drugs and guns for money, and then using the money to buy your own weapons, like an AK47 or something, to do battle outside without getting arrested by the cops.) It was always hilarious to do 'prop surfing' - which is when you place a prop beneath your feet and use the physics gun on it to exploit the engine so you rocket up at 100mph towards the sky and you're basically flying up at the top of the skybox using the piece of metal or whatever you spawned as a surfboard, and you can actually safely land using it. So basically, friends and I would join a server with people making these super bases, and land RIGHT ON THEIR ROOF to find weaknesses. Weakness 1. Explosives. Your base may be hard to enter, but our goal isn't to get in, it's to destroy the poo poo you spent hours making enough money to buy. Dumping grenades through even the tiniest slit in your base can blow all your hard earned drug machines to bits. Weakness 2. Unfrozen props. In Garry's Mod, there are two kinds of people. People who weld everything together, expecting it to hold, and people who know better and freeze things in place using right mouse click. That said, it is actually possible to spawn a tiny piece of metal, pick it up with your physgun, and charge into someone's hard-made wall and the physics engine will go nuts. Things will move out of its way and start colliding with each other at extreme force, spinning at inhuman speeds while that tiny piece you're holding just stays completely still, oblivious to the havoc it's causing. Basically, most people make walls consisting of welded-together pieces of doors, and that's not enough to stop this. What you're supposed to do is after welding everything shut is to freeze it in place so things can't push it or collide with it. Weakness 3. The podding exploit. That 'pod' vehicle I mentioned earlier? You can weld the tip of it to the floor so it's sticking up at a 45 degree angle, and your mouse is still moving it around laterally, right? Don't click the second time. Press E so you get in, and you can spin the "welded" pod around while you're inside with your mouse. Have someone inside a building that came with the map and isn't gonna be broken into because they blocked all the windows? You can go around to one of the walls outside this building, do this spinning trick, and get most of the 'pod' inside of their building. While you're still inside, "undo" your weld, and the pod will shoot inside of the building. You have successfully just did something akin to noclipping, and you can wreak as much havok as you want, even cover all their doors with your own doors so they can't get out. Great times. I haven't played for years but it was really fun with friends. sandpiper fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Jul 23, 2010 |

Oh lordy, that's beautiful. Especially "holla holla get $." Anyway, I got some guy to rage at me and start spawning boxes all over my face because I kept putting Expression 2 chips that made buzzing noises around him. I said "help, I'm being trapped by boxes," and an admin came to my rescue. The guy proceeded to get really angry and started covering the spawn in giant trees. Then he got banned. Best part? The admin sided with me. He'll never know. I also did this with my stealth bomber, replacing the bomb with an E2 chip. The results weren't as funny, but I still got a kick out of it. I recorded footage this time, I think I'll try and arrange some of it to make a video. Not all of it, of course. There were a lot of failed attempts at griefing.
