So I joined a Platinum game recently that was already in progress, Wave 4. It didn't take too long to realize that there was not one, but two missile glitchers in the match against Reapers in Vancouver. This was the third or fourth match in a row where I had encountered a missile glitcher, and I was sick of it. I decided to stick it out and grief them as much as possible. During Wave 5, I never fired a shot, instead I picked one of the glitchers and stuck to him like glue, trying to keep in front of him as much as possible and being a general nuisance. While it didn't keep him from killing everything with unlimited Cobra missiles, he did go down a few times because I drew a lot of AoE attacks from the Atlas' that joined the fight, and he went down a time or two and had to gel because I wouldn't revive him.
Wave 6 happened to be a pizza delivery. Because I had equipped a lvl 3 Adrenaline Mod, I got to the objective well ahead of the others, and I'm sure you can guess what I did: grabbed the pizza and sat down to lunch with it. It was right at the top of the long ladder, and I just sat there at the top of the ladder with the pizza, watching both missile glitchers fire away at the enemy trying to keep my path clear. After moving around for two of the five minutes from one spot of low cover to the other, the missile glitchers finally caught on to my ploy and stopped firing. I think they were hoping to outlast me and grab the objective. But they just sat there, between the enemy and me, and watched. One went down three times, gelling each time, before getting grabbed by a Banshee he didn't see because he was staring at me. The other, the one I had harrassed the wave before, parked next to me and tried to get his point across by constanst light melees. With about 1:45 left, I decided to have more fun with him and made for the LZ. He started firing away again before noticing that I had crept around the drop off area and hid behind more low cover. That really pissed him off, and he started firing at me with his Cobra Striker. A Maurader took him down and stomped him almost immediately. Figuring to needle to two glitchers one last time, I pull out my missile launcher, deliver the pizza, and run to the second, clearing the patch with two Cobras. I heard one say something to the effect of "about time" (though he added a colorful metaphor or two) as I approached the second objective. So of course, I stood on top of it, refusing to pick it up, firing off my final three Cobras when under heavy fire, using ops packs and gels to stay alive until the timer ran out and we failed the mission.
Sure, I was being a dick. I got no credits because I joined in Wave 4. But I'm sick and tired of glitchers ruining Platinum, I decided to ruin it for them and see how they felt for a change. All they got for their cheating was less money than a Bronze match. Sure enough, I get a message from a MISSILE GLITCHER calling me a "stupid n00b".
It was worth it.
I'm not saying I would do it again (though I probably would), but for that one time it sure felt good to ****** off the cheaters.
LOL i always do the same. I refuse to do any objective, kill myself in 5 seconds and NEVER revive the glitcher.
Then i message him after the game telling him to go **** himself.
