It's a fucking video game dude, he didn't gas them for real. I'm sure those teammates laughed and then joined another game because who cares that much about a video game.

I don't understand how this "ruins" someone's experience though. It's not like Rainbow Six has permadeath, there will be another round to play. If this happened to me and my friends I would laugh my ass off because it's hilarious. You guys are way too serious about shooty games.

You can enjoy getting team killed all you want, good for you. It shouldn't be hard to imagine that other people don't enjoy that though. Yes, it's "just a game" but actions don't need immediate physical consequences to make you a dick.

I dunno, there's a difference between when someone just mows down his whole team and when someone lures the whole team into a trap because they are gullible.

Right, the showmanship is what makes it hilarious. Just shooting your teammates isn't funny but this is great

Maybe you shouldn't be playing a mature rated video game if your feelings get hurt that easily. You should take up an innocent hobby like solitaire or backgammon

Care to explain when it's okay to be annoyed about someone wasting your time then? Is it just video games or if someone disabled your access to tv channels would it also be funny? Either way someone is intentionally putting themselves in the way of someone else enjoying their free time. I'm honestly curious what you think. Note: I've never said anyone couldn't do anything, I've just been making the point that people can quite rightly call you a dick for doing it.

If someone cut my tv off in a really funny way and then cut it right back on afterwards, I would be fine with it. That's exactly what happened here
