Game Trolling stories

[Frank Grimes]

Let me first say that I don't condone trolling (but I admit it's fun to do sometimes). Let's face it, we all have trolled someone at some point or at the very least been trolled by other people. I thought it might be worth starting a thread about the experiences with trolling in video games.

A few years ago when I was playing MW3 on-line I used to troll a lot with the predator missile. When I saw the enemy predator missile on the mini-map I deliberately ran out in the open to get them to target me and then leave the game just before it hit.

I also noticed a little glitch. When you use a predator missile and a host leaves the game just before it hits the ground, it would hit the ground without killing anyone. One time I saw the predator missile on the mini-map and three team mates were very close together in the open. I knew I was host and quit the game just before the missile struck. Hearing the reaction of the player during the Host migration was hilarious.

I remember one night a few years back playing a WWE game with my brother and cousin. Can't remember which game exactly but I know there were 6 people in the ring at one time in the Royal Rumble mode (so basically us 3 real players, 3 AI) Our cousin was fighting one dude and my bother and I told him we were the 2 dudes who were actually the AI fighting each other. So he assumed the 2 characters that we really were, were the AI. Any time he would get the upper hand we would just turn on him momentarily, smash him and help eliminate him then go back to pretending to fight each other. He'd come out as the next dude and the process kept repeating.
We had him convinced the game was against him and unfairly targeting only him at random on purpose over and over until the point he snapped and just rage quit.

Probably doesn't sound that funny reading this, but was just one of those classic 'had to be there' kind of times with plenty of laughs. One of my fondest gaming memories tbh

I had a friend who also did the same thing in MITB. Pretty obvious he was trolling as soon as the "AI" kept targeting me.

Does group re-spawn killing 12yr kids on the Beach in GTAV count as trolling?

 

[Premiers04]

CoD devs tell us every year "we have dedicated servers"

Kings of game trolling.

 

[The Big Sauce]

The Bigfooty Bank in GTAV

Hopefully reopening for business this Tuesday

I trolled a dude in FIFA the other night, was literally walking the ball into the net.
Won 10-0

One day i was playing GTA 5, and this little shit was being obnoxious as hell

So i decided to hunt him down and kill him

15 kills later he's just calling me a ******, and everyone on the server is telling him to shut the **** up

Mate logs in(playing from his bedroom) so we decide just to go and hunt and kill him a bunch

He tries to hide in a gun-store, we open the door a bit, fire a gun into it so its not secure and kill him

Tries to run away in a boat, got a helicopter, slaughtered him,. time and time again

The guy ends up saying "I take it back, please stop" and almost crying, very upset he puts a 30,000 dollar bounty on me, going "its all the money i have, please someone help me" so my mate shoots me in the head and we take his money

kept abusing me in private messages for 3 days later, he ended up being banned for sending threats from PSN since i reported every one

That's the part I find funny and clever.

The amount of people I've killed as they are coming out of the mod shop is ridiculous.

I can't help but get a sick kick out of blowing a newly modded car up.

Got a whole lobby on GTA chanting kill that Monkey Bitch. I was riding my bike through the streets dodging all the mercenaries that they sent.

I'm happy to pay insurance if it means I have fun.

In game money doesn't mean alot to me.

I used to sing into my microphone in lobbies, and play my music rather loud just to give people the shits.

MW3. Prime trolling.

 

[Pera]

Used to throw flashbangs and concussion grenades at my teammates the minute the round started in hardcore modes on the first black ops. One day I flashed the only guy on my team with a mic repeatedly and told him I saw another guy do it. He hunted the other guy down all game until he team kills him 3 times and was kicked.

Used to always love throwing a concussion grenade at guys on search then run around the corner at them like an enemy and have them team kill me. Shit never got old.

Used to do something similar with fast hands + trophy system.

And I can't be the only one who plays gun game by just trying to knife everyone hard enough that they can't finish the game

In one of the older wwe games. Legends of wrestlemania or something, we made a scrawny, stick thin guy with a big head.

At 3am we started making him in to a bizzare hitler type character complete with black and white military style entrance. At 3am we thought this was hilarious enough. Then we cleverly named it Adolph Zitler.

The kicker was taking him online and hearing other players bragging how good their wrestler looked, only to be met with dead silence when old Zitler come strolling out. The barrage of abuse and having the three other guys kicking the crap out of him was icing on the cake.

Playing an English translated version of Namco vs Capcom.

Well, loosely English, such is the quality.

GTAV used to do some bad bad stuff, especially since all these kids had just got the game for Christmas

It still happens. I killed a 12yo with a snowball today FFS.

Also, saw some guy robbing an armored truck, using my awesome cargobob skills (which mostly consist of "please don't crash" and one metric f***ton of luck) I managed to hook his car as he was getting into it, got a fair way out to sea beyond the humane labs before he jumped out, at which point I tried to drop the car on him... I missed

I remember the old C4 Jeep Baiting in Battlefield 1942...

I miss those days.

I came across players who have done that. It would be good trolling if the majority of people didn't know how to mute other players.
