God help you if you kill me and pick up my sniper in Halo Reach. I don't mind the whole dieing part but that sniper is precious and I won't let you have it goddammit!

Not so much in other games, but I love to do it when I'm messing around in GTA IV multiplayer. If someone kills me repeatedly, I try to find a weapon that could do some serious damage and then stalk them and wait for the prime opportunity to kill. Mwa ha ha ha...
What a strange turnout. I guess it's more of an FPS multiplayer kind of thing. Even in single-player games with common saves, where if I wanted to I could reload the last save, whip out the best weapon, kill that enemy that got me in a spectacular way and then reload, I just don't do it.
Is it just a testosterone high that leads to violence like this? Probably. I get my rage out in other ways, so maybe that's why I'm not that partial to it. Do I gloat after a very hard enemy? Usually, but sometimes I'm just too annoyed and spent to do so. (I usually then trade in the stressful game)

Certainly. Not usually to an extent where I would begin to hunt a specific player or prefer that to others. More often it's about shooting a guy down who I know to be really good (it doesn't matter that much if he/she's killed me before or not, but if he has, the better).
I regularly do this in Guild Wars, whenever someone brings an annoying/cheap build. God help them if they're a minion master and I'm playing a mesmer.
Heh, no.
Most of the time, I don't even remember the names of people I play with.
Even in SC2.
People go "Hey again!"
And I have no clue who they even are.
Even if I just played against them in the last game.
There are exceptions, though.
Like if there's an especially annoying person around, I may go out of my way to make life miserable for them.
Just simple things, like noticing where the guy tends to camp and bouncing grenades from behind walls and such.
I've gotten a few kills with headshots through walls by remembering popular camp-spots.
So much rage.

Sometimes, yeah sure.
But there are times where you play in a server and there is a guy playing against you (let's call im X), and apparently this X guy is on a crusade against you and you have no idea why, evey time you die in that game from a certain point in the game until the end of it, the killer is gonna be X.
And no matter how HARD you try you'll NEVER kill him, that kind pisses me off and what seemed to be a normal game, turns into a brutal revenge fight to death between you and X.

You also just lost the gamePirate Kitty said:God yes.
I will go out of my way and be killed another ten times if it means I have revenge.
I take defeat very badly
lolO.T. Yes and I love doing it, I also take the odd cheap shot too.
(Example - See above)
Yes, when i played Halo with a friend he would constantly stick me with a grenade just as i melee an enemy then i would melee him in the back just as he is going to charge the enemy to get him back, then it pretty much degenerated into a constant battle of killing each other until we forgot what we were doing in the first place.
yes, but SOMETIMES
only if it's reasonable
and especially if its good for the whole team too (maybe not in this exact situation for me, but taking out that pesky sniper to prevent him from totally bugging your teammates)
I mean, I can take a hit to my pride (or teabagging) instead getting enraged and just charging back in and giving him repeated kills on me x/

some jerkoff kept taking pistol shots at me in a sniper firefight matchgmaverick019 said:
of course it was annoying for the obvious reasons, forcing you out of scope, but it got worse when I'd get killed because he took out my shields
I finally coaxed him into actually killing me so I could boot that dumbass
but yeah I generally avoid grabbing the sniper rifle cuz I'm not the most proficient unless I have a pretty good feeling I'm teamed up with a bunch of idiots (generally when I have a guest playing with me)
Yes. The only multiplayer shooter I play is TF2, and that game specifically has a nemesis system, so I'd assume the developers intended players to go for revenge. That said, I won't specifically go after a class that's a hard counter to mine, since it's probably not going to help my team at all.
I definitely do, especially on COD4; when there's one overly-persistent enemy that kills me in the exact same way several times in a row (usually a shotgunner), I take immense pleasure in adapting to their tactics and murdering them right back. It's one of the only reasons why I'll switch classes from my standard rifleman get-up.
No, and I haven't in a loooong time. I used to about a decade ago but then someone did it to me in Phantasia4. A lot. He really dedicated himself to trying to kill my character. I had to log out to prevent this from happening and realized that the practice of revenge killing is really annoying.
