I liked the Warhammer Online one...TIP: The average Warhammer Online team member moved house 3.7 times during the development of this game.

Wow, great tip. I shall now go slaughter orks far more expediently!
What about the one that says "Does the enemy own a keep? what are you waiting for go take it back!"

Generally the ones explaining the controls, because they don't change if you remap them. If it doesn't change, then it isn't specific enough to be helpful anyway. (e.g. Press the shoot button to shoot.)


Or- I hate this one...

[HEADING=2]You were killed by a grenade, watch out for the grenade danger indicator.[/HEADING]
Yeah I know. I think that they are just trying to mock you...
Sounds like something they would do.

Mine is probably "Be sure to use airstrikes" in Mercs 2.

Didn't Metal Gear Solid 4 have a smoking warning as Snake was smoking in the background?

Oh and Simpson's hit and run (yes I played this "game") said that 90% of games first level is a training mission/level (or something along those lines) and lo and behold a training level!

the shotgun is deadly in close range, but loses accuracy the farther away your target is- i dont remember the game so if anyone does could you remind me?
that would be tf2

mine would have to be
"In Warhammer if at first you dont succecd, excessive force is probably the answer

It's not exactly a tip, but:
[when the game freezes] Loading

That's just an insult. (sorry that I can't think of better.)

The ones that say after you've been killed.

LOOK AT YOUR HEALTH BAR, etc... RED MEANS YOUR DYING

Left 4 Dead has one to that effect.

"Bring your friends to Azeroth, but go outside Azeroth with them as well" Subtle marketing.

I'm drawing a blank here, but one of the Valve games had a loading screen tip that was factually incorrect. Think it was TF2.

Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard had some funny loading tips. One I remember went something to the effect of...

"If you aren't succeeding with diplomacy in Eat Lead, it's because this game doesn't have a diplomacy option."

The ones in Guitar Hero III. It's like they don't know anything about rock music.
"If you can hear the police complaining, you aren't playing loud enough."
"Turn that amp up. My ears are barely even bleeding!"
"You seem to be having a problem with your bass amp. I can hear it!"
"I used to freak out when my amp caught on fire. Now I kinda dig the tone."
"If the police aren't complaining, you aren't playing loud enough."
"I'm the drummer. I don't get paid to understand any of this!"

Because of course, rock music is all about the guitar, whereas the drummer is just a beat-keeping moron and the bassist is a filler, not meant to actually be heard. Also, rock is all about being as loud as possible. /sarcasm

You all know them. It is typical for a game to have some kind of tip or fact whenever it loads (see Oblivion, Fable etc. etc.)

Sometimes they are good, sometimes they are okay and sometimes thay suck. What do you think is the worst loading screen tip.

I say Condemned has it. "Use block to your advantage". NO SHIT! Here I was thinking that it was wise to NOT use block. *facepalm*
Lol !! Great topic !! I'll have to start reading those tips now so I can come up with one, but I doubt it would beat yours!
