Most fun I ever had was in Jihad Squad in Eve. We would separately search out mining corps to join, and during mining ops with the corporation, would suicide/call in goons waiting to warp in on us. Yeah man, this is fun. Ok cool, glad you like it. Hey new guy where are you from? YOU INFIDELS ARE INTRUDING ON OUR SACRED LANDS, AND MINING ALLAH'S MOONROCKS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF OUR GREAT CREATOR!!; PREPARE TO DIE. All of a sudden everyone is dead, and screaming a million obscenities at me in chat, as well as to kick me out of the corporation, which they of course can't do until I dock up.

More Dust talk! A few pages back we talked about running team mates over with LAVs, then stabbing them with a needle to revive them over and over, ruining their KDR. Well in this most recent build they introduced something called "Faction Warfare" which is just the same battles as before, only you can pick the side you want to fight on. Which means we have started putting 2 members of GoonFeet on opposite sides, then finding a lone individual in the battle by coordinating over voice and killing him and reviving him as quickly as possible. They never have time to even fully get up between deaths, and they can't access the "leave battle" option because dying and reviving kicks you out of the pause menu. The only way for people to escape our assholery is to actually quit the game via the PS button. This thread has it all, We made a Japanese guy mad, and he can't write english, so his replies are all literally Google Translate. quote:Divided into friends and enemies Then one of the goons decided to reply to all his posts in haiku quote:friendship we offer Then some dude fell for our corp description, which claims that we're a Christian Faith based organization. quote:Way to represent the christian faith, Nippy.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II So I've got this game on Gamefly and have been playing it a lot recently. In the game there is Hardcore mode which includes friendly fire. If you kill your team mates 3 times in one round you are automatically kicked as a kind of fail-safe to prevent griefers. Usually it works pretty well, with a few exceptions I found out. In previous CoD games if you blew up a friendly players equipment it would count as a suicide, not as a teamkill on their part since someone intentionally blew it up. I think that still remains mostly true here, but not 100% true, because this guy would follow me around and blow up my bouncing betties and they would count for team kills on my part. I ended up getting kicked and thought it was a pretty good grief on his part. I think the better one is the one I pulled on this guy doing a similar tactic. If an ally calls in a care package, a helicopter comes in and drops a crate that can then be accessed for a weapon upgrade or some such. Well, it turns out if you stand under the crate it counts as a team kill for the other guy! Que me standing under this guys crate, getting killed (1), then I come back to life, shoot the guy and take his crate. He is PISSED, and I justify it by his terrible crate-team-kill. So he shoots me (2) and kills me again, then, I walk over to where HE set a bouncing betty and shoot it. This kills me (3) and he is immediately kicked from the server. Petty? Yeah. Hilarious? Yup. Other great hits include walking in front of friendly sentry guns, picking up friendly grenades, and the old classic, blocking door ways. The game is so fast paced it really isn't much of a set back, you just join another game, but its a special griefing when you punish friendly's for doing nothing wrong.

One irony I enjoy about goon Dust griefing is what happens after these "bugs" get fixed. In general, a lot of us just giggle about messing with idiot snipers who sit uselessly on the edge of the map. However, there are a few goons who have kind of an inverse e-bushido thing going on, where they consider it a moral imperative to mess with as many non-self-aware pubbies as possible. So after a grief-y tactic is patched out, our space samurai have nowhere to vent their righteous indignation, and so they shake their skinny/corpulent fists at this grave injustice to good gamers everywhere  This is also one of the reasons you'd probably go nuts playing a CCP game without goony-type comrades. I know I would

Its a very humbling experience... for them. It is also enjoyable to see them lose the respect of their corpmates after we ruin their leader board numbers.

This pretty much describes my TF2 experience. Today I got yelled at. Pomson minisentry wrangler engineer. I had alot of fun making GBS threads out mini sentries behind spawn on Doublecross. I got to wrangler down a medic with uber ready and his heavy almost before they realized I was there. I get yelled at for spawn camping alot. It never ceases to amaze me how people will repeatedly run out the one out of three spawn exits which I am currently guarding and claim that I'm being unfair. Usually it's the spy who runs into pomson blasts as he tries to stab me in the face who speaks up first. I got kicked for aimbotting because "there's no way that engie could track my scout with that drat ray gun!" When you run in straight lines on the ground it gets easy to predict no matter how fast you are

I use the liberty launcher. For those who don't play TF2, the soldier is a class that almost exclusively uses his rocket launcher for fights. The shotgun, his secondary weapon and only other ranged weapon, has a billion things you can swap out for that aren't a shotgun. The regular launcher is considered "best" while others are gimmicky. One lets you heal on every hit for less than 10% if your health, one deals huge direct damage but no splash damage, one lets you preload and burst fire rockets, and they're all considered side grades. The Liberty Launcher is not a side grade. It makes your rockets 40% faster, at the cost of only putting 3 rockets in your clip instead of 4. In most prolonged fights, this is a detriment. In situations against one person, especially other soldiers, it is an "I Win" button. The rockets are too fast to handle without knowing I have a Liberty Launcher to begin with, and even then I am a decent soldier. I know how to shoot in ways that make enemies pop up in the air, so that I can either kill them with a mid-air rocket (which is difficult normally, and brain dead easy with a LL) or use my shotgun replacement which deal bonus damage to airborne enemies. It is called "the scrubbiest weapon", "completely overpowered", is blacklisted on some servers, and my favorite name for it is: "The Crutch" So I went and bought a version of the LL that tracks my kills, slapped "airborne enemies" and "soldiers" parts on the gun which track those two types of kills independently, and named my Liberty Launcher "The Crutch" My get-high-and-fuckaround server is one that plays on a Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask themed map. One team spawns in the clock tower, the other in the fairy fountain in north clock town. I have perfected the rocket jumps required to go from behind the clock tower to just in front of RED's spawn, where I reload rockets and wait. Eventually after spawn camping for a while, a soldier I've killed a few times will target me, and attempt to kill me. 2 out of 3 times, I kill him. When I get overwhelmed, I can use those rocket jumps to be back at their spawn in almost literal seconds, ready to rain too-fast rockets down onto the soldier that just killed me. It is waaaaaay too much fun to piss off other purist soldiers who only use the stock rocket launcher, all because I use THE CRUTCH, and every time I kill them, they get to stare at me, covered head to toe in hot pink hat/baubles/formal military uniform, my charactzr literally laughing at them, while "THE CRUTCH" is displayed at the bottom of their screen and a text bind config automatically types/sends "get gud scrub" in the chat. bawk fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Jun 7, 2013 |

In Raven Shield you could block doors, but friendly fire was enabled. So you pull the pin on a grenade that had no fuse timer until you drop it and just stand there.

I'm everywhere and I'm blowing dudes up and if they weren't terrible pubbies I'd barely be in the middle of the pack.

My very loadout is a gently caress you to everyone I play with. I love the cow mangler for the same reason. I love using it to shut down sentries so scouts can grab intel on pub servers. People rage endlessly when you actually use it as intended. Can anyone explain to me why there are a billion 2Fort servers and always a smattering of like 15 turbine servers on the populated lists but almost never a doublecross?

I want a strange Cow Wrangler named "gently caress pyros" with a Pyros Killed strange part. I would buy a conscientious objector with a pyro in a red "NO" sign like on the no smoking signs, and hold it after every kill. (Pyros can reflect rockets, a good one can kill you with your own rockets. The Cow Wrangler shoots lasers which can't be reflected, and holds 5 shots, not four. The CO is a big sign you can put pictures in, and other players can see)

I found another. Apparently you can hit people with shock charges in hardcore. It doesn't kill then if you direct hit them but it does wound and shock them. This means I run around following team mates shocking them until they team kill me enough to get kicked. Hohohoho they need yo patch this out.

Even back when the description for the Cow Mangler said that the shots could not be reflected, what actually happened was that any shot fired by the Cow Mangler could be reflected and would deal crit damage. This was made even stranger by the facts that reflected projectiles normally only become mini-crits and Cow Mangler shots normally cannot crit under any circumstances! Very strange.

You need a demo to get through the inevitable sentry nest. It ends up being a standoff between snipers until some team manages to time a cleared sniper ledge with a demo on offense that's good enough to get rid of the sentries, get the intel and get out before any of the other team's 7 other classes can contribute to their demise.

2fort is the absolute worst as is any CTF map. Complete wastes of time in most cases. Pl and cp maps are the best. I used to be an avid Tf2 player but that game jumped the shark somewhere between the demo knight update and engineer update. Then came the hats and it was no longer a well balanced quirky fps, but a poorly balanced mmo with servers dedicated to grinding hats or special items. Every time i log in there is some new weapon that does something crazy weird. I am greifed. Cod blops II. when a care package is thrown that means I slay the thrower and take it for myself. Game is so easy to grief.

One team spawns in the clock tower, the other in the fairy fountain in north clock town. Is this Shadow Mavericks or did someone actually finish that map? Shadow Mavericks.. Well, all I really need to say is that 'shadow' refers to the hedgehog, and they have a tendency to put maps blindly into the rotation without play testing them or even loading them. Somehow they managed to attract a sizable number of 10-15 year olds as a regular playerbase and debatably more griefers. There was a map they added that was a payload set on a ship where the red team spawned inside. Except there was only one exit, and it was covered by a solid clipping volume with the trigger texture applied to it. This basically meant nobody on red could ever leave spawn. This became even funnier when one of us discovered that the cart passes over the spawn, so if you're standing in the correct spot (on top of some pipes, iirc) you can block the bomb when it passes by. With an autohotkey script disabling anti-idle protection the game basically turned into a who-can-wait-the-longest competition of the sort described above, as a bomb with no blu players on it and no time left on the timer is red's victory condition. The only thing funnier than a group of tf2 players being made to wait is a group who has no idea why they're waiting or who is responsible.

Define "finished" It has all of Termina Field, all of Clock Town, the Moon Tree, the Observatory + route there, a few hidden areas in clock town, and a grotto that has the map credits inside. No NPCs or extra areas. It's a spy's dream map if you're on blue, just disguise then pop outside into the field, and pop back in west clock town. Never fails. The server is =LOLWUT=, though, which is usually a Mario Kart server. Lately it's done MM instead

The version on shadow mavericks has no objectives and missing textures. They literally just grabbed it off the mapper's wip deviantart posting and ran it. There's also a fully textured/mapped booster tower from Mario RPG that also has no objectives but it's still fun as hell to lock it down with sentries.

They are probably raking it in from all the microtransaction horseshit, but the game seems to be dying far earlier than it should.

I don't like what they've done with the HUNDRED BILLION WEAPONS crap either and I do think it is at this point killing the game, but I think they refined the idea with DotA (it's all Hats now, every single one of the ~100 heroes has like seven or eight item slots that are all cosmetic) and would go that route if they released a TF3, because it makes for a better and more sustainable game. Weapons were loving awesome before the Mannconomy update though, I loved having like 2-3 choices for each of my weapons on all my characters. They just kept adding more and more though
