Spartans never die, they just go MIA......

I honestly don't see the point besides getting killed while tbagging

Halo 3: ReV Eskimo

eventually ill be back on Reach and CEA. i enjoy gaming for fun, im a great player and i enjoy smoking while i play. so any chill players feel free to add me. I in NO way support halocharts; old username.

just for fun man, its just good ole fun. you can take it like BI*** or you can laugh at the humor and keep playing. depends how seriously you take a video game.

fear me, for i am pro sauce

1- because we can
2- it angers people, making them try harder to kill you, meaning even more tbag when they die again

  • 02.03.2012 8:19 AM PDT

Alot of people do, but dont let it bother you. If you get angry they win! Just respawn move on.

I like this answer

Fun fact: 9/10 users with no linked gamertag are better than you at Halo. That doesn't necessarily mean that I am; but it does mean there's a pretty solid chance.

I believe the more correct term is 'celebratory crouching'.

The only time I ever do it is when I want the last player on a team to quit.

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

I personally don't do it, but I know that people do it just to get people angry or to attempt to show off.

This is why tbagging started back in the Halo CE days. I don't remember exactly who, but it was either Darkman, Walshy, Strange Purple, or another top player did it specifically to one player because he always lost his cool and started to play horrible afterwards. When a player starts getting upset and flustered they play badly. It just took off from there in the Halo series.

I remember the first time someone did it to me, I got a little upset but learned to just ignore. If you are still getting bent out of shape over it, then it's still doing its job on you.

You can do it to try to "get under their skin".


But it is mainly done as an "insult", that you (most likely) just "owned" them and telling them that they "suck" and they should not have killed them right there. That the enemy just choked hard.


Basically it is an action in which you are saying you are better than them, in most cases.

I get triple teamed while two shot and kill two of the three attackers.

The surviving one cleans me up.

I get teabagged after this.

Where did I choke?

  • 02.03.2012 8:50 AM PDT

I do it when I pull off a sweet kill, kill an annoying kid, or end a kill streak.

  • 02.03.2012 8:50 AM PDT

With each stroke of my blade, i shall paint the fields red
This... will be my masterpiece

i only tbag if the person failed epically

such as the person i got a bulltrue on by shooting my plasma pistol like a maniac :3

when plasma pistol beats sword lol

Today is a good day to be a Spartan

I personally don't T-bag but, if I see you T-bag someone, or you do it to me, I will find you, and Assassinate you in the worst possible way.

L2read RC. I never once said that those were ALWAYS the case, no I said "mostly", "generally" "in most cases".


I also said you can do it to try to get under their skin. It seems like that particular tbag did.

and if the person that tbags is on your team?

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

I only t-bag friends and only if I get a good kill on them.

  • 02.03.2012 9:05 AM PDT

"Angry Angels, Honour & Loyalty!"

We only tbag in group, since I allways play with my team, in Slayer or Invasion. (some call it a gang bang).

We do it only in spetial occasions:

a spawn-dirt-bag killer

a Banshee whore (remember us, Viper?) lol

and so on...

Banned just for calling someone retarded? lolBnet mods
Duardo = retard

So you think Reach is an actual Halo game, huh? LOL
Jesus! There's a BoB in ma Falcon!

I only tbag when I want to start pissing people off. I usually always get a rage message from the people I tbag.
