your confused, that's a rape method known as "camping". both snipers and grunts have tendencies to do that. it just falls on snipers heads more because they can do it from further away.atomictoast said:

This, a thousand times this. In Fallout 3 when i try to cut their throats they just get back up. In Fable TLC the closest to killing i could come was punching them a few times. Sometimes those bastards need some .50 caliber aspriniggyus said:
Balance issues trouble me the most. Where you shoot a guy in the head 5 times and he still manages to kill you first. Also, if your playing a game for the first time and they don't tell you how to play it.

Daze. My archnemesis of gaming...
Also, games that don't grasp the concept of liniarity (Is that spelled properly?).
When you make a linear game, you make sure the players knows where to go. You don't give the hint of where to go when you've already found the right way, because that forces you to look for it for ages.
When rouges in World of Warcraft tag team you. Stun, Backstab, Backstab, Sinister Strike, Kidney Shot, Backstab, Backstab, Kidney Shot, Shadow Step, Ambush, Dead. Really whats the point in even trying to fight back? Paladins too, you knock them down to 10 health, then Divine Shield, Heal, and there goes all of your hard work... (Just a few of the reasons why I quit.)
Oh and dumb AI. Especially when you have to escort them through a room full of zombies (ahem Dead Rising). "Oh hi Mr. Zombie. Do you want to cuddle?"

In fallout 3, the kids were incredibly annoying. Wasted ammo blasting in tehir general direction.scnj said:
Weapon degeneration breaks immersion like nothing else. In oblivion the swords were made of cut out cardboard, and would shatter at the smallest punishment. And bethesda isn't the only game maker to spoil good fights with toy weapons.
The only time I get pissed at Fallout's system is when my Terrible Shotgun breaks. It has impossibly low health, and breaks after 146 shots from full health. Considering that 146 shots for me is about 20 minutes of gameplay, it gets annoying when I don't have any combat shotguns, caps or alien epoxy to fix it.Spitfire175 said:
Yes, yes, and yes some more. Cheaters ruin games for everyone. Here's a screenshot of a Battlefield 2 game I played where someone thought it would be funny to crash the server by spawing dozens of vehicles from the sky:Akai Shizuku said:
FaN Scouts. It's all blam-blam, bye-bye 125 HP. They should revert that damage buff, or at least lower the knockback. If the first shot lands, the second shot is a freebie because the target is pinned to the wall with all the knockback.
And deus ex machina/poor implementation of Chekov's Gun/asspull ending/aka 'Diabolus Ex Machina'. Ahem. Fallout 3.

Platforming in a game that's not a platformer i.e. i-Fluid
Stealth in a game that's not a stealth game i.e. BG&E
"Adventure" games ever. I don't know how to describe it, but if you've ever played an "Escape the" game, you know what I mean. Such twisted logic of where your supposed to look. i.e. Research and Development

Left 4 Dead on versus, when the special infected find objects that we cannot move and force them in front of a mission critical exit, effectively breaking the game. E.G. forklift wedged into a doorway at the top of the elevator on No Mercy.
I disagree with this claim, snipers are not difficult to use (they may be hard to master but their use is quite simple).garuda166 said:
Snipers can usually count on even a moderately sheltered position giving them sufficiant protection from enemy fire while most other players (such as those with close range SMGs and shotguns) have to sacrifice their defensive positions in order to get into effective range (sadly, most games seem to think that all shotguns work like blunderbusses and that you must be within a stone's throw of your target if you want to have any degree of effectiveness to your shot).
Snipers usually have a 1 or 2 shot kill regardless of what location they hit on the target and regardless of range (couple this with their long range and high accuracy and you can see how this might come across as being cheap in the eyes of CQB combatants).
Also, a single sniper in a game is actually quite fun (it can add variety to a team game), however, it is not good or even nessercary for everyone on the opposing team to be wielding a high power sniper rifle (I've seen this occur plenty of times).
As for other things that piss me off in games:
Open/non-linear worlds, American protaganists, unbalanced multiplayer, kids, uncooperative NPCs, 1-hit kills, 'realism', military shooters, unavoidable doom, torches with pathetic battery life (yes, I'm looking at you FEAR), only being able to carry two weapons, explosives in multiplayer, multiplayer in general, Valve's 'gate' system, unskippable cut scenes and teabagging.
