Everybody usually has one. I was reminded of this recently as I started playing through Bioshock and Bioshock 2 again. Especially so in Bioshock 2 since I did melee only builds, in which case the drill is the most OP as fuck build in the game but so risky to use.

And for nostalgia's sake I remember an unorthadox as fuck method in Halo Wars, parking an army of elephants outside a base with the turret upgrade on them and watching the fireworks.

How about you folks? Any unorthadox builds and stuff you have fun with?

i believe I've told you this specifically sandtrap but I'll post it again for the threads sake

In dark souls 2 I had a butterfly build where I had 2 toxic enchanted spotted whips (apply poison on hit) combined with this hilarious butterfly armor that had a poison aura around it. I also packed a Ton of corrosive pots (damages enemy equipment)

I would poison them by running in circles occasionally whipping and then spam corrosive pots to break all their weapons

Was troll as fuck and worked suprisingly well

So... I guess I'm going to have to pick up after your horrendous mistakes on here too?
Pretty much to noob-combo.

It's pointless, but so fun.

Wanna know something funny? The butterfly shield is the most griefing son of a bitch weapon in the game. If you infuse the shield with poison on top of its natural poison stat, and design your build around poison, using all the enchants and gear to boost it, and cast great magic shield on it, the shield is both

A) Immune to every form of damage and magic in the game
B) Is capable of poisoning someone in one hit with a roughly 600 or so poison buildup with all the right gear

Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
In Halo 3 when there wasn't any BRs or Carbines to pick up, I would use the Magnum as a substitute and would do surprising good with it. I would even kill people with the Magnum who would use a BR against me.

In Blops 2 my main gun was the M8A1. For me its the best gun in the game and for some reason, not that many people would use it either.

In MW2 when the enemy team would call a Harrier or Pave Low, I brought out my Riot Shield class and made them concentrate all their fire on me. It was a good way to soak up XP too.

In Starcraft 2 when I play as Protoss, I go full mech. Protoss Immortals fuck up every ground unit in the game and can withstand tons of damage. When you have Immortals in the back and Archons in the front protecting them, you will win against just about anyone.

It's somewhat unorthodox but it's becoming more and more common now courtesy of grenade buffs.

BF4, You need two/three friends to do it depending on the combo

Dante's Inferno
-Smoke
-Flares
-Incendiaries

Lob them all into a hallway/building that you want to clear the enemy out of, they tend to get confused and start ambling around in the smoke looking for you and that's when you run in with IRNV shotguns and mow them down <_<
That's if the incendiaries don't do the work for you >_>

Epileptic Bane
Similar to the above, but basically flares and flashbangs. Sit on a pile of ammo crates with a couple of friends and just throw and throw and throw and throw those two items at the enemy (Lockers is best for this one) until they an hero.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Some retarded BF3 tactics me and a friend of mine use:

-DAO-12 w/ slugs, extended mags and a x3.4 scope (or x6 if you want to fuck with snipers). Aim and let rip. Hell, just put a x6 scope on any shotgun without slugs and let the (now dead) enemy watch as you run around with a ridiculous massive scope on it.

-Tank Goblins. Get in a jeep, cruise around until you find a tank, drive into tank, jump out and repair tool it until dead (or if they jump out, hop in and kill them, then claim the tank as yours). Alternatively, Get in jeep, get a friend to load it with C4, and drive into a tank. C4 detonates, tank destroyed, jeep (and you) completely unharmed, only to return to be re-loaded with C4.

-Doodlebug. Place C4 on the front of a jet, get friend to jet-ram tanks, helicopters, etc. Good for pesky tankers/pilots who could avoid death through the normal methods. Usually you wouldn't even get the kills, but the explosion guaranteed they would be downed or sent into the sky (a few times with enough explosives, we've sent a disabled tank into orbit).

-Drone Warfare. One MAV, one EOD on Rush (Defenders). MAV distracts and spots enemies, the EOD waits around bombs and kills those who arm it and defuses it if needed. Use to be able to put C4 on both with a third friend if you wanted to be cruel, but they patched that pretty early.

-Silenced Mortar. Apply Mortar and AS-VAL (an in-built silenced weapon). Mortar is now "silenced" and unspottable on the map to the enemy.


For Black Ops on Search 'n' Destroy, I used to hold onto a tac insertion while prone on the floor with the stealth pro perk (no red marker upon aiming) so it looked like a corpse next to the bombs. Once an enemy appeared, they'd ignore you and arm it. While arming, get up, take out silenced SPAS-12 and dispatch them. Rinse 'n' repeat (if you waited a bit after getting up, the killcam wouldn't show how you appeared, keeping the tactic safe for the next round).

Holy shit man calm down satan. If I was on the receiving end of this in a match or the one putting it out I'd be laughing too hard to play right.

Really?  When I stopped it was before his first rework that basically broke the ability to play him as AP.

riot is going through and angsty teen phase and wants to be different so they keep doing ridiculous things. They made an item that every other auto it doubles on hit effects
Meaning xin knocks up every 2 attacks instead of 3 and and heals almost twice as much. 

And they made another item that turned autos into magic damage and deal AOE which made ap ezreal the most broken thing ever because his q is coded as an auto. They fixed this though.

Then proceeded to win 3 ranked games in a row with him due to the hype. Did it happen in the 5.15patch?

I want my dragon, and he will be Toothless

no, he comes out in 5.16

He's either going to be stupidly bad or turn the entire meta on its head

I cant argue with progress, just you.
Cheap tactic but when I played bf3 and BFBC2 i get some people or friends and use the tanks as snipers on long range maps or as mortars and  keep firing at one major capture point.
