        See that’s a great story, i worry things like that will have gone by the way side now.

        I remember in halo accidentally shooting a team mate and crouching to apologise.

        Weirdly in games that bought in waving etc, Day-Z etc if someone crouches i trust it if someoe waves i know they’re going to shoot my in the back

          Yeah. Elden Ring applies to the waves too. Bows and crouches? Respect. Waves? They’re gonna be a toxic prick.

            “Try jumping.”

            That fucking message is either a long walk back or some good loot. God i love elden ring but i really hate the messages on the ground.

          Halo Crouching was really up in the air, though.

          From an enemy, it could be a sign of trust. It could also be a taunt, telling you what to expect.

          From a teammate, it could be “Wait, someones ahead”, or it could be “Imma kill him as he teabags you, and then Imma teabag both of you.”

          You just never knew.

      Honestly, probably my favourite thing about the Titanfall 2 online community. Can be in a heated match but if you’re in a Titan and encounter an enemy pilot frantically crouching at you, you are honour-bound to start a crouching dance party.

      It is the law.

        this is like half the reason why DRG is so good, there’s so many rituals the community has developed and most of them have voice lines from mission control telling you to knock it off (which of course makes it that much funnier)

        it’s kinda strange there’s no crouching though, i want to see my fellow dwarves crouching at light speed before doing something incredibly stupid

        Damnit, now I feel like an asshole…I would do this with people on opposing team when I played cod blops and mw2. I would get annoyed after a while and would drop my claymore or a grenade to get out of the situation. Always felt awkward, in a game to kill each other, but you want me to follow you around? Nah…
