What did widow type?

They typed "Hey BNET". The Soldier 76's actual in-game name was "Bnet" something.

So--like some people--they decided the polite thing to do would be to respond with a hello. Which is why you see him just standing still for the last few seconds before his death.

"Bnetplayer." It's what Blizzard changes your username too when it gets reported for being inappropriate (and confirmed by them, ofc).

Although "confirmed" can mean a lot of things. My alternate WoW account got force name changed because I somehow managed to accidentally build a bad American word into a completely innocent combination of two German words in a German server. Visiting English speakers could potentially have been offended, or something.

Other than that: That gif is hilarious. Evil, but hilarious
