I was reading the Banshee handling guides on Rampancy.net, and at the end I found this wonderful article: How to be a dick in a Banshee.

Now, being a horrible creature that does quite a few of these things, I wondered how many other ways (NOT TEAM KILLING) can be found to irritate, confuse or otherwise be an ass?

Further Dismount Crushing

Get in a hog/tank/ghost. Move with speed towards enemy/friend. Jump out at correct time and let physics occur.
Bonus points if you can hit someone with a hog from off the top of Death Island.


Melee Mania

If your opponent has backed into a corner, run up to them and hit them in the face. When they spray wildly, dodge slightly, melee them again, then once more. Since you're so close, you'll easily clear their field of fire by moving so close to them. It'll work, 6/7 times, even if they have a shotgun.

Fun with Skulls

On an oddball server with one ball, get a fuel rod and blast the ball whenever someone gets close to it. Watch them run halfway across the map, then when they get withing 10 m, send the ball flying again with a rocket or grenade.

--------------------Geyrophobia addon - In this case, grab the ball, jump in a banshee, then hover over the abyss. Or stand on the edge of the cliff facing outwards. Either way, the ball's gonna drop. Again.

Gunner without Driver

Get a sniper rifle. Look for an enemy hog to stop for a gunner. Just before the gunner gets on, shoot the driver in the head. The gunner usually won't realise what happened, so you'll get another free shot, and an irritated gunner who blames the driver for not moving.

Tanks for the memories

(Best on Death Island) Get in a banshee with a sniper rifle. If you see a tank guarding the base, let it take a shot at you, then land and snipe the tank driver. Do it every time someone gets in the tank.

Seriously, Where's he hiding?

In a CTF match, get the enemy flag, then hide in their base/under their base/behind their base/on a ladder in their base. Go for a drink, and come back after 15 min and see if you're still alive. Out of 15 tests on heavily populated servers, I've survived 9 times.

I Hate Youuuuuuuuuuuuu

Get a hog with a gunner. Drive at a cliff, and jump out at the last moment. Laugh evilly.

More fun with cliffs

(Best on Danger Canyon and Infinity) Wait until someone's halfway across a bridge. Shoot him once, then when he spins round looking for you, shoot again. Watch as he falls off.

King of the Tower

On KOTH, build a small fort out of vehicles so that no-one else can get in. Or just park a tank on the hill.

Tk? More like N/A!

If a teamkiller joins, get his attention, then dodge his bullets for about five minutes/he runs out of ammo. Taunt mercilessly.

And Finally... Cyborg Tower

Attempt to stay on one opponent's head for as long as possible. When they notice, melee them.

Add your own suggestions on how to infuriate the enemy!

The best way to irritate someone is to be more skilled than they are, especially if they do a lot of smack.

However, that's the only thing I do that irritates others. I don't believe that we need to try and irritate other people online. It serves no purpose. Furthermore, I feel that this thread should be locked....fishing for ideas on how to irritate others is not generally considered to be a good habit.

"How to be an ass in Halo"?

That's like posting a thread saying "How to blink when you go to sleep". It happens all the time. This is absolutely absurd. There are enough asses on Halo PC, let alone the entire Halo community! We don't need more! There is enough irritating stuff in the world.

Honestly, this thread was completely pointless. I don't tolerate people being impolite, obnoxious, rude, racist, selfish, and the like. I want a fun, polite gaming experience. No one wants more annoying people in the world.

Ehh...I don't know. I got a kick out of reading this, tbh. I wouldn't say it's all that bad.

I mean...hiding right under the enemy's nose in their base during CTF and going AFK? Genius. Pure evil, but still genius.

I agree with you... Irritating people will make them more agressive and "ban worthy" if they're just there to play an honest game of CTF then that's fine but trying to irritate them shows that you're trying to disrespect them and make them feel like a noob and also ruen the game they came to play

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Players that frequent BUNGIE-CTF servers are well-versed in all this stuff. If you ever need a bad game, visit one. Thanks Bungie for providing a horrible gaming experience at no cost to us end users. Appreciated. Pass the Rolaids.

Nahhh, almost no one uses banshees in servers unless it's power servers, they'll get killed easily with pistols. If they use a banshee a couple of well lead shots will make the guy die, and the banshee hit the ground.

What? Play a game? FOR FUN???
This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

Reaver, what is your name on PC?
Because I am going to give you a royal ass kicking.
Teaching people how to be -blam!-s is not cool. Unless we do all this to the tkers on bungie servers, I don't at all like this thread here.

well sure its wrong, but funny like hell. oh and by the way, i tried that cliff thing in death island. i got a hog filled up, drived to the cliffs, and jumped out as they fell helplessly down to the enemy base. ROFL. seriously, i didnt stop laffing for 5 miinutes. The gunner smashed down and the passenger had to fight for his life. he failed ROFL thanks for the tips.

Don't drink to excess– You might shoot at tax-collectors... and miss

Computer: Power Mac G5 CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (2.2) Number Of CPUs: 2 CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB Memory: 1.25 GB Bus Speed: 900 MHz

Actually jumping a hog or ghost off the top of Death Island is a good attack tactic, if you land it right– wheels down... and preferably on several enemies. you can also use it going home– just try not to land on team mates.

Isn't killing your enemy and taking their flag supposed to be annoying? Halo's not a love fest.

Ooh, that's an ingenious one. Passenger parking...

Oh, ConMan577, it's Reaver225 on the servers also.

I mainly do these things to really irritating people, like spawn-killers, TKers, trash-talkers and people who try to overpower their servers (like having +400 health and shields, and one banshee). It's fun to watch them be horribly taunted.
