Glee factor - 3 out of 5
Cheating in a game of a private server shooter, such as Call of Duty, all too often assumes the lame form of taking advantage of spawn points or flag locations to frag the enemy. For our more sophisticated, inventive brand of grief, we’re much more interested in making life difficult for the people on our team. They’ll never be expecting that.
How to: You need to be playing on the MP_Depot map, in Stalingrad, in the original Call of Duty multiplayer. Over the train yard are a number of windows behind which snipers love to hide. So imagine there’s someone on your team you want to see dead, and there’s no friendly fire. It’s so simple: go and stand behind him. He’s now stuck. He can’t move, left, right or backward, leaving him only one direction to head in. Down. To a messy suicide on the train tracks below.
