I found this thread on one of the GOW forums. I'm sure many of you have seen it, but it's so funny, I couldn't help but to repost it here. Forums are cold on weekends anyways . You can post your own points. I'm quoting the original poster....
Well, we all know that with the way the ranked matches are set up, everyone's going to end up with some -- how should I put this? -- "duds" on their team occassionally (unless you're one of the people who goes through the trouble of stacking your team with friends). Some of these individuals have made me laugh. Some have made me (want to) cry. And some have made me do a little of both ... in the same round.
Anyhow, this is just a list of things that make me wonder, "Is anyone home upstairs?" with some of these people as I watch them during a game. I'm not trying to single out or flame anyone; heck; I'd be lying if I said I haven't done my lion's share of bonehead moves when I was being "broken into" GoW. So feel free to post your own lists here. I need a good laugh tonight. =P
1) People who have little or no aiming ability whatsoever, yet INSIST on picking up the Longshot at the beginning of each map -- Yes, just ignore the fact that there just MIGHT be someone on your team who's a far more qualified "sniper" than you. Helen Keller is here to show everyone how (s)he can't even hit (let alone headshot) an opponent who's in plain sight and hasn't moved for half a minute. After all, if you can't actually KILL your advesary with the sniper rifle, perhaps the sound of a bullet wizzing somewhere in his vicinity might make him freeze like a deer in headlights, or better yet, get such a scare that he disconnects from the game. ...Anyone buying this? Heh, didn't think so.
2) Teammates who try to rush an opponent with the chainsaw ... from their frontside (in plain view) ... from over 50 yards away -- I mean, wow, nothing has made me wish there was a "Put dunce cap on partner" action in this game than observing these geniuses.
3) Partners who think they're actually going to kill an enemy who's +100 feet away ... with the Gnasher -- News Flash: Shooting a person with a buckshot weapon from that long of range rarely accomplishes more than just PISSING THEM OFF. Ever been shot with a BB gun from long range? Remember how pissed off it made you? Would you want to fight someone who was that angry at you? Yeah, me either.
4) Teammates who decide it's much better to continue shooting at a distant enemy who's not an immediate threat to them (and whom they likely have no chance of killing at the time), instead of REVIVING you when you're down ... and literally right next to them -- I don't think this one needs more explanation, does it? Yeah, you'd be either amused of disturbed if you knew how often I see it happening in ranked matches.
5) Players who get grenade-tagged, then decided it'd be best to give a couple of his teammates a quick "goodbye hug" before they A SPLODE into giblets -- Nothing says I love you like comparing what your insides look like with a dear friend (or 2). God knows they'll be sure to thank you for showing how much you care in the next life.
