This video should tell you two things. One, never ever read or listen to a message you get while playing a versus game. The only exception to this rule being that you're expecting an invite to another match or game.
 
The other thing this video will tell you is that you really want to pull off the same thing yourself now. Seriously, I'm really looking forward to doing something similar as this in an online match.
 
Yes, it's incredibly douchy, but so hilarious!

Wait, you people never seen/done this before? It's even better doing this when teamkill is on and you do it to a fellow teamate.

'Quikly xxCHONGxx turnaround, i hve someting 2 show u'

*throws grenade*

*teamate gets blown to smithereens*

Good times, good times.

Cool vid, but it's even better if you do it with a cooked grenade, at a distance where you won't get killed. Or shooting them right between the eyes. :)

I did that once as a Medic to a Sniper.

"You should watch out for that Medic."
"What Medic?"
"This one? *bonesaw*"

Too bad all the campers I've ever met usually check their surroundings enough for me to not do a douchebag move like that. Bleh.

Why would he turn around? It's pretty obvious what was going to happen. Ahhhh Xbox Live.

@ Squirrel Pope: I find it believable. I personally do check messages in games, and if you get one saying turn around, I would figure I have an ally with a headset trying to convey something to me. Or perhaps I am blocking someone. I doubt though the person got knifed realized what happen, but I am sure it happen, if not in this case, then in another case.

And this was damn funny.

Thanks for the inspiration to try this in Killzone 2. I seem to have a knack for stumbling upon campers at *just the right time* ^..^

Can you hear the other team talking if you are nearby in COD? Killzone has proximity chat, so you can just tell someone to look behind them through the mic.

This is viral.
Right now there must be at least 30 people trying to do this online.
PS: I laughed.
PPS: Best. Online. OWNED.

Ahahahahahahah...

@SantanaClaus: the messages go pretty instantaneously, but all that shows up is a little popup that says "so and so sent you a message," and so the person would have to take a few seconds to check it out, read it, and close the XMB before getting back to the game.

Holy shit, I must shake that dude's hand! The Trout 91 has some cajones, man. I'm not sure if even I would have the balls to pull that off. Impressive.

Funny, its a shame most campers have a C4 everywhere mentality and trying to do that usually gets you blown to bits.

Could have been improved by use of the messenger pad.
Less time typing, at least.

I'm surprised he had that much time to do all that without someone finding him.

UglyDuck: No. Only in rare circumstances will we front page a video. HalfordPlander: GTFO if you think this is just a news site.
