In Counter-Strike, you run at them while having prepared a grenade. When you die, you drop the grenade at your feet!
A "suicide" button in FPS multiplayers

that would suck, imagine yourself on the enemy team and your enclosing on an enemy, would you want them to take the cowards way out or would you want your kill?
I wouldn't want it to be mapped onto the in-game controls... 'cause I use those for more useful things.TimeLord said:
Actually come to think of it, I can see it having a practical use. Say you have a really big map, and there was only one person on the team left in a wipe out style death match. Rather than waste time having the other players slog across the whole map, other guy kindly suicides himself to get on with the next round.
Kind of assumes your map design sucks though, if people can't find each other easily... I doubt many devs would admit to having a suicide mechanic for that reason.

Source engine games like Team Fortress 2 and HL2 Deathmatch always have this option;
bind k "kill"
It's useful in badly made mods too, for committing suicide in glitched areas or zero death condition scenarios.

I only know a suicide button existed in Battlefield 1942 and BF: Vietnam. It wasn't for killing yourself before the opposing team could, but for killing yourself if your plane got shot down in the middle of the desert or jungle and thus walking to the next base would've taken hours. Made sense to me.
A suicide option in CoD for example would be cheap I think, pro teams would just fire a shot from the sniper rifle and then, if not killing the enemy, commit suicide. Pointless

There's the /kill command in the Quake and Doom games. For the most part, using /kill in competition is against the rules unless it's properly warranted. For example, if you fall off the map, and don't want to wait 10 seconds for the fall to finish, then you /kill.
I see two outcomes:
A. If there is no penalty for suicides then you'd have griefers allowing the other team to get two shots in and then killing themselves.
B. If there is a penalty (e.g. -1 points) for suicides then you'd have greifers killing themselves repeatedly to screw up their team.
Either way I think it's a bad idea.

Oh, the username abuse possibilities...
If that's how we fought, where would the heroes be? Running out in an impossible setting, slow motion firefights as the 1 against many takes them all out!
Or he turns a corner and steps on the grenade and dies...but at least he fought
What does a suicide button teach? It teaches that you can give up on stuff and just accept defeat, rather than try for victory

If so, salute
I think that would be completely goddamn retarded. Everyone would use it when they were about to die, and the game would become a shitty, infuriating mess where it's completely impossible to get kills. Provided it was in an accessible location (i.e on the controller/keyboard rather than in a menu).
