How to be a ass on XBL
We all know that betrayals are an effective way of making people mad in MM. But the downside of that is you usually get betrayed back or if you do it too much you get an instant boot from the game.
So I thought I'd write this quick little tut instead of writing my English essay, just so you wannabe F@Gs/derankers/bored people, know what to do in the event that you want to piss some people off. :)
1. The Tryhard
Spend the entire game screaming at your teammates and not doing much else. Pick up on everyones mistakes while making ridiculous excuses for your own failures. Basically be as loud and obnoxious as possible. Racism/homophobia can be applied but this is not encouraged.
e.g. Call out people full shield as one shot then start screaming at your teammate when they fail at killing them.
- "OMG u R s0 fkn bad u fkn retarded little piece of pondscum! How could you die to him he was one shot"
- "But he wasn't he was full shield!"
- "How do you know?! You probably bought your fkn 50/45/30/etc...."
2. The Vehicular Betrayslaughter
Get someone to ride in your vehicle, drive them off the edge while jumping out at the last second so as not to get a betrayal. Helps if you do this everytime you are in a vehicle, especially if the map only has one per team. At 50 high TS this is brilliant if used repeatedly. Helps if the enemy team puts a shot into you first so it gives them a kill at the same time as destroying your only vehicle.
3. Forced Suicide
Basically same as 2 but instead of driving them off the edge completely, just hang them over the side in your vehicle so they must commit suicide to get back in the game.
e.g. They are gunning on the warthog/sideseat of a hornet (with flag/bomb for best effect), you hang just the rear of the warthog off the map while giving yourself space to get out/hover off the map on the hornet until they fall to their deaths. People get maaaaad.
4. Waste equipment/vehicles/weapons
Pick up snipe/laser/power weapon/powerup and burn it - i.e. waste all the ammo/nade yourself so powerup goes away/throw equipment off map. It's also very funny if you destroy all your teams vehicles on a map like sandtrap/avalanche.
5. Put people Redbar on Sandtrap
On Sandtrap (NOT Sandtarp) you can put the whole game redbar simply by driving one (or two if you want to be really mean) Elephants onto the crashed Pelican. I did it in this game with a friend, managing to lag over half the players out or made them ragequit as well as getting a nice betrayal frenzy at the end without getting booted. Oh and when one guy finally managed to betray me, I booted him from the game >:)
6. False Callouts
Works especially well when playing 45+ ranked or MLG. Make up your own callouts for anything. And then trashtalk people who say they don't know what they mean.
7. Music
Play music, preferably anything that will annoy people the most, e.g. Punjabi MC, Rebecca Black, Bieber, Filthy Dubstep, rick Astley, Pingu, etc... down the mic, really really loudly. If you do this half way through a high level game when people are concentrating too much to mute you, you get great reactions.
8. HLG
Hide. For the win, for the loss, it doesn't matter. Especially if you are deranking in doubles and know your teammate will lose no matter what, hide (with a power weapon) to make him even more infuriated.
9. Trashtalk people on Rank
This is the one I find most annoying, kind of self explanatory. If they are a higher rank, say they bought it. Lower rank, say they are bad.
10. 1v1
1v1 people and host the game yourself. That way when you get the first kill on them/a really nice kill on them, you can kick them from the game and make it look like they ragequit. It helps if you then fileshare the game/clip and call it "BK ragequits".
11. Cheat for no reason
Again, self explanatory. If you have the software, hold people redbar or hostboot them in social - Mythic or SBTB is probably the playlist where you can find the most 50s who would know what you are doing.
12. Pretend you don't know how to play
Act like you just bought the game (or your account) and run around all game asking what the shoot button is.
13. Derank
In social or ranked (or even Reach MLG) whatever you do it in, nothing annoys people more than a deranker.
14. Teabag every kill
No matter how bad it is. Beat down someone when they are 1 shot? Teabag. Get a headshot in swat? Teabag. And so on...
15. Nearly team kill
Shoot your teammates in the back until they are 1 shot. Once at 1 shot, stop. They will usually betray you if you do it too much so then boot them and send them messages of "lolololololol you're bad."
16. Betray Boot
Use the betray boot glitch in any and every playlist. For those of you who don't know what it means, it's basically when you walk into/get damaged by a teammate then walk into a section of the map that after a second or two will usually tell you you have been killed by the guardians. Examples of this are the belt on narrows (most common and easy one), a ledge at sword on Blackout, corner of the rock at low base nips on Snowbound, the high gate on Standoff (requires mongoose).
17. SLG
SLG: Suicide League Gaming.
Works in a lot of playlists. If you don't want to derank don't do it in playlists where you go -1 for suicides/betrayals (e.g. Doubles/MLG) - all you do is commit suicide for an entire game so the enemy has no chance of killing you. I have done this at 45+ swat with 2 friends after getting a 3 kill lead and we did it the whole game for lols. Also works in living dead if you are the last man standing (although you lose points).
18. Pretend to Turbo
This is for only the true dedicated members of the F@G community - pretend to have a turbo controller plugged in. Mute your mic (or play loud music down it) while repeatedly jumping in one spot for the entire game. Whenever you die just resume jumping upon respawn. This is especially funny as people will most likely betray you, at which point you can boot them and resume playing :P
19. Leave your team in a spawn trap
Be AFK in a game but make sure your hidden, allowing your teammates to spawn beside you. If the other team is good/you are playing at a high level, this will usually result in your team becoming spawn trapped and spawn killed for the majority of the game.
20. Being Judas
Pick up a member of the enemy team in one of your vehicles and drive him around. While he guns you can drive him to all your teammate's positions as you can see them on your HUD and with you driving, they can only stop him by either shooting him out of his gunners seat (which is hard) or by killing you both, which could give you the option to boot. It is especially effective if you drive the enemy around in the warthog from your side as it won't respawn while you are driving it, leaving your team warthog-less!

21. False Rank
Create a new account and only get to lvl 15-19. Get well over 400 exp and make it appear that you are stuck at First Lieutenant rank. Players will really think you are bad. It's not until the match ends that they realize they were totally fooled and just faced a player far better than some low level 15. They will feel stupid for trash talking and assuming you would be the reason the team would lose when in fact your carried thier sorry asses to victory.

22. Tryhard 2.0
Pretending to be pro: this
~ credits go to: NOBLE SlX - I haven't watched it yet, but it looks lol worthy.
23. Pretend to be a tryhard on a fellow deranker.
Make the game take as long as possible: http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3f ileid=122103525
~ Credits go to: Prophet of Liess - As a deranker I know how fun/annoying this can be >.<
24. On My X
Use "On My X" as your only callout throughout the game. Works really well in high level ranked, especially MLG.
~ credits go to: III Kirby III - for reminding me of this :P
25. The Unfair 1v1
Set up a 1v1 on a map with hidden powerups/teleporters and use them to get an unfair advantage.
~ credits go to: It Will Be Done - God those maps were awesome to use, I used to have a few myself. The MLG G@ymtypes ones were the best.
26. The Fake 1v1
Make a second account with exactly the same name, armour & emblem as the person you want to do this to, then proceed to fake a 1v1 and clip/screenshot it and send it around to everyone you can. This has been done a lot where people pretend to beat pros 1v1.
~ credit goes to: It Will Be Done
27. Become an Actor
Pretend to be a "hillbilly on crack" (or anything else that works - I usually go for mexican - just keep shouting "PUTO!")
And play the bleep test apparently...
~ credits go to the tortoise - this guy trolls hardcore lol
Well this concludes my tutorial, I hope you found it an interesting and informative read! Have fun trolling MM :)
