Gaming’s Guilty Pleasures: Friendly Fire
Lavallee017 | 9:55 AM on 04.12.2008 9 comments




Oh shit you did not just bounce that grenade off the door fra…BOOM!

Now it’s not the event that friendly fire kills you that is the pleasure, it’s the REVENGE! After that tell tale grenade blasts you to beJesus and back it’s always nice to get a little retribution via a little headshot or back of the head melee, and that friends is the guilty pleasure.

Nobody likes getting owned by something that is a total rookie mistake like splash damage or mistaken identity but it sure feels nice to throw out all gaming etiquette for a brief moment soaked in bloodlust to dispatch your deserving friend who will hopefully understand... Of course this works a whole lot better when playing with a friend who resides in the same room, or in a game where the score doesn’t matter (ie non ranked) because being an asshole for a second is fun but being “that guy” is not cool. Being that guy who always kills you back is pretty shitty and a very serious issue and will most likely seal the deal that you never get invited to a game again.

But being in your own home or playing with good company instead of random matches is prime breeding grounds for the betrayal and the inevitable Charlie Horse that their leg is so getting before you even respawn!

So let’s have it. Who here is going to be guilty of the sweet taste of revenge?

*raises hand* Guilty as charged.

If the person I get with paired with is a complete douche, don't think I'm covering the douche to safety; I'm going friendly fire on their ass.

Golfing on Call of Duty is always fun, but me and my friends make sure it's mostly just us on the team and don't kill the innocent bystandard until he joins in. What I hate is when someone is in last stand and they get pissed when you finish them off.

"ZOMG! U N00B!!!!1"
"Dude, I didn't want them to get the points."
"FUCK OFF NOOB!"

When that happens everyone is weapons free on that player in my opion

Since I'm not 12, I don't find guilty pleasure to be funny or amusing at all, just a tool for douchebags to ruin the experience of everyone.

I still remember the first time I brought in a guest on Gears, he ended up on the other team and would get killed before leaving spawn by the other guys. I'm sure he found that so funny and amusing.

I am guilty, but i don´t kill them, i just constantly help other ppl damage the moron.

Counterstrike. I would only desire revenge if my team-mate continues to hurt me/kill me for an amount of time that would push me to annoyance. This happened twice.

I was angry. ;O)

Kyousuke Nanbu:

I think you missed the point. People who did that type of thing to your friend are asshats. I was speaking in terms of a one for one event and only if it doesn't harm the match rankings.

I agree Lavallee. When I play Warhawk with my clan, every once in awhile there's a little team killing for fun when its an unranked game.

I have one friend on my team in particular that I like to devise new and hilarious ways to kill him so he stops and goes, "WTF...damn lol" For instance taking a warhawk and loading it with mines and then going kamikaze style and fly into his hawk and kill us both. Love it.

I'll only team kill every once in a while if I'm playing with friends, it usually helps releasing some frustration for not finishing a lvl or some lulz if the game is getting boring.
