We all have a special hatred reserved for certain gamers, this list is composed of the various breeds of annoying I so love to beat over the head with an energy sword.
1. The vehicle-abuser
Everyone has been on a match where some idiot won't get out of his car and wins the match by constantly running people over during the entire game. Some question his motives, why is he in the vehicle? Why did he choose the motorcycle over the rocket launcher only three paces away? However, when deprived of his only source of kills, the abuser will often make a run for the nearest vehicle and be shot by someone with actual skill, he will not stop trying to get himself back in a car and into the top kill ranking of the match. This parade of idiocy can only be stopped by a ban or the end of the match.
2. The ultra-player
The type of person who rants on chat about how he shot the "idiot" with a sniper rifle. In most settings, he is heavily undermatched by people who provide little or no challenge to him. In ideal settings, he is among people of similar skills and abilities, and therefore, is not as inclined to scream when he gets killed. When his supremacy is challenged (if he is attacked or killed) he has one of two reactions, he either arrogantly tries to crush the person who challenged him, or he launches into a deluge of obscenities and insults, a violent tempest from which none are spared, those who don't immediately mute him will often notice that he stagnates after a while when his kills begin to climb back up to the top, at which point he does not often get angry when he only needs a single kill to win.
3. The harasser
We all know them, the singers, the screamers, and the teamkillers. They're the type of people who enjoy to taunt and tease people who try to have a functional game, and they work well. A successful one is often talented at driving gamers to near insanity and provokes hostility from the various "tough guys", power-gamers, and frat boys who often play right into the harasser's hands by acting like monkeys who do nothing but shriek and fling excrement. The increasingly rare sensitive harasser will bow out under the constant pressure of endless cursing and screaming, but most will ride it out for the sheer fun of it.
4. The campers
Most campers are very quiet, sneaking around and finding the ideal spot overlooking a spawn point to endlessly harry the newly-reborn players who are usually armed with shoddy machine guns. For this reason, campers are hard to dig out and most of them make themselves scarce when the banstick gets unsheathed.
5. The best of all annoying gamers to kill are the gamer kids. Mainly from the ages of 10-14, these young ones are often fairly quiet on the game, save for when they are among other annoying friends with the same squeaky voices. They brag nonstop over a single kill and will never let the killed one forget it. By and far, the best fun I have with others online is with these people, not because I like them personally or their braggy ways, but the reactions. The best part about gamer kids is their lack of skill, most will run like a wild man at you swinging a gravity hammer when you are around 60 paces away, when you stop laughing and blow them away with a spray of bullets the cursing begins. Like little high-pitched demons, they scream incessantly about you, your "unfair" kill, and often your family. At the height of anger, a good amount will make death threats despite the fact that they have no idea who you are or where you live. Caution to gamers: Beware of the talented 12 year-old, although rare, most are incredibly good at ruining a good match with constant bragging, but like their untalented counterparts, will still fly into a rage when killed.
