Myself and a friend started on xbox live late 2004, 2005. And as a rule, we are very very average. We just dont play games enough to be really really good.

But on the other hand, I LOVE winning. And im not proud to admit this, but I have done just about anything to win games in my time.

It started in Halo 2 and we have taken it to every game we play. We never ever CHEAT or HACK a game, basically im talking about using underhanded tactics not in the spirit of the game.

For example, corpsehumping reduces even the finest players to a vengeful angry individual who isnt playing his normal game as he desperately tries to get retribution.

In Halo 2 capture the flag, we would park a tank on the flag. If the attacking team killed us, moved the tank, killed us after we respawn, get the flag they would find the teleporter blocked by a warthog we wedged in there. Basically we compensated for a lack of aiming skills, by being underhanded.

In Halo 3 we used bubbleshields to shield us while we humped our victims, not for any tactical advantage. And not because we think its funny or cool. But because nothing throws a great player off their game more than when a player with OBVIOUS less skill, getting the better of them. Disrespecting them. Or out thinking them.

Trash talking, corpsehumping, camping. Anything we could LEGALLY do to win we did. And do! Dont get me wrong, if very entertaining and rewarding when you beat someone psychologically. Especially someone much better than you.

In MW2 we use the killcam to taunt unsuspecting snipers before we kill them, knowing that they will see the video and lose focus on winning the game, in their quest for revenge.

In red dead redemption i send guys a message through the dashboard so i can snipe them while they read it.

With Halo: Reach coming out, we are genuinely excited to try out our underhanded unsporting tactics on new levels, new players, and using new equipment.

But i dont know, as funny as it is, im getting tired of angry american kids(many of whom are in tears) leaving messages on my account! Is it time to play fair? Should we give up on underhanded tactics?

Should we be sporting????

Apparently not on xbox live.... yet!

Bungie say they don't approve of the practice, but they introduced a physics model to it in halo 3......

I don't get all the hate. If someone makes you rage by "corpse humping".. maybe it's time to take a break at that stage. And if someone is spending time sending messages to people.. they are leaving themselves exposed. And if you read your messages mid round and are shot, you get no sympathy from me. Read them while respawning.

You know, I never ever grief like this. But every now and then, someone who I am dominating accuses me of HAXXORING and it entertains me like nothing else. And if someone is pissing you off, just find another server

Interesting, but i just find it so funny when these halo nuts!! go through the whole match just to find you because you took there favourite gun or teabagged them, some people take the game way too seriously but me and my mate just like to kick back and have a laugh! i mean whats wrong with developing your own personal tactics, just cos its not the way the game was intended to be played.

More power to you, lads. This may be a far out idea and all, but have you ever considered how angry someone would be if you beat them on a level-playing field? As Vin Petrol says, "You have to live Plan A on any level. Make it a lowercase a if you have to, but live your Plan A. Anything else belittles the importance of life". Sage words: think about it.

Truely sage words! However let me be very clear, i dont play like I play because i enjoy making people angry, its using the only tactics we can to win. If you get under someones skin, they usually fall apart.

So im just wondering is getting under someones skin a legitimate strategy??

It happens when we play 5-aside on the astro turf haha why not online??

As Vin says "Your not afraid of the dark, are you?" Ok that Vin quote MAY be totally irellevant.

I'd say it's been a popular tactic since the dawn of time, be it by wearing crazy costumes on the battle field, or dancing the Haka before a rugby match. If someone allows themselves to become so enraged that they are no longer playing properly, then good for you. But, I don't think you'd be able to do it to me. Not that we would ever find out, I have zero interest in Halo.

And to be perfectly honest, you keep suggesting that you are not very good, it's hard to imagine that this tactic alone really works for you. Surely the supposedly better player is going to get you ultimately. He will feel good at that point
