The guy who's standbying will probably have the most kills.

You're being standbyed if everyone is in red bar, then yellow bar, then green bar, then back to red, etc etc. And when you attack someone they'll walk into a wall while you're shooting them, then you'll die. Also, you may go into blue screen every so often.

And.........if you check the person's rank and it's a moon, that's a gimme LOL

It's not fair though.

The guy's highest rank is an 18 and he's stand-bying to win a low level DT game.

Are you kidding? Risking getting banned for that isn't a good idea.

Just my opinion.

True that, but they don't really care..........unless it actually happens to them, then they'll care LOL. Every standbyer I've talked to said they won't get caught (even though a handful do get caught sometimes) but I guess they're willing to take the risk.

My friends and I got standbyed at level 15 in Team Skirmish LOL. Good thing they were bad at it though. The standbyer actually went negative and we all went positive, even though we lost.

Most of the time it is stand-bying,

When people complain about it the right way.

Other times it is the newcomers that get all hyped up about standbyers and how we make it seem like they're everywhere.

I blame the forums!
