have you ever been "That Guy"

[Saerain]

I was That Guy in Unreal Tournament, on the Facing Worlds CTF map, who prowled the second and third outer tiers of the enemy's tower with a shock rifle, nailing them from behind as they left. No one ever seemed to learn to check behind them; or if they did, I'd moved to a slightly different location, or succeeded in dodging just about everything. I always dominated that map.

I didn't attribute this to skill on my part, though, but to being one of very few with broadband at that time. I haven't performed even 10% as well in any shooter since then.

Never, but I have a friend who always is. So I'm at least usually on "that guy's" team.

 

[JochemDude]

Yes, I get around 40 kills each round in CoD4, 35 kills average in Bad Company 2, 60 in Battlefield 2, 25 average in Black Ops. All those together my K/D is almost 5 and Win/Lose is nearly 7. When I'm playing LAN in my apartment block it's pretty much me against 10 others and that is not even a fair fight. I guess that's mostly because I don't use average guns, I use semi's or battle rifles.

After hating on CoD 4 months after it came out I tried it out with some friends who were determined to convince me of how great a game it was. I had previously refused to play because I said it took no skill.

It was the first time I had played the game and I became "that guy" with the P90 off the bat against 3 people who played all the time and claimed they owned everyone else online.

After victory I quit and never played that game again.

A few times. I remember one glorious match on World at War where i went around in a tank on the Seelow map and basically went on a bloody unstoppable rampage. I've always liked driving tanks.

Then there there were a couple of other COD matches, usually i'm made aware that i'm "that guy" when i'm at the top of the board and someone insults me for it. I remember one of the wager matches on Black Ops where i was doing quite well and there were these two tweens whom were moaning about how annoying i was. (In that i kept killing them).

I am always that guy in Operations mode of KZ3: I AM A UNSTOPPPABLE INSTRUMENT OF WAR!

Except on any other game mode where I've been known to hold onto grenades too long >_>

When I play online either I get absolutely owned or do reasonably well, but nothing spectacular. I haven't played online in a while so probably it would be a little more unbalanced nowadays though.

When I play against my friends or my housemates I dominate them from start to finish. We play Halo and I set myself ridiculous challenges like three on one, and I'm only allowing myself to use the pistol, and I get through the whole round without dying. We play CoD or Modern Warfare and I only use the sniper rifle, free for all, and I rack up more kills than the three of them combined.

I think I'm a pretty good gamer, but I don't challenge myself often, so when I come up against gamers who do I often get my ass handed to me, but when I play against my housemates or friends who are all 'W007 PWNING NOOBS RS TEH AW3SOM' and only play multiplayer CoD I basically wipe the floor with them. Too much practice.

No, I suck at games. I have been the other 'that guy' though, the one at the bottom of the scoreboard that everyone blames for losing the game. On a team a 10 person team its obviously the one guy in last place who lost the whole thing since the 9 other guys are totally guilt free, obviously.

 

[The Breadcrab]

Back in the glory days of Resistance 2, I was often #1 in a game, and keep in mind this game had 60-player servers! I seem to have lost that spark a bit, but not completely. In BC2/MW/Whatever its not uncommon for me to reach #2 or #3 in a game.

Oh, and if you really want to open a time-capsule, I used to absolutely shred players in the first Half-life. Shotguns forever!

 

[Xaio30]

LOL, one of those "oh shit, didn't realise, sorry guys!" moments?

I won to the point where any other expression would make me seem like an arrogant prick on a high horse.

Yea one time in RDR this guy kept saying stuff like

'OH YOU HACKER, you do it because you suck!!!!!' [vote to kick 1 out of 5]

me: 'Um im just playing the game normally maybe you shouldn't run out into the middle of the map spinning'

kid: HEY shut up i won a Gaming Tourney in the USA i was the BEST

me: 'Well your pretty crap'

Kid: 'At Least i don't Hack!!!'

Me: 'Yea i don't hack either i just play the game normally... Don't blame someone else for your failing.'

Kid: 'Your JUST A GAY ****** HACKER'

Me: Yeah but at least i don't ask my mother for sex'

[Kenko]

Yeah. Was playing Red Orchestra, my team was out of reinforcements and I was alone with my looted MP41. Killed their team several times over until they ran out of reinforcements and my team won.

Communists! They all suck, der deutsche wehrmacht ftw!

 

[Griffolion]

Just to update, I was totally that guy last night. Single handedly defended an M-COM station in BC2 to win the game.
