Server Crashing Exploit - Games

Did this to tons of servers with a friend, it also works if you hit a Civilian'd teammate. [editline]12th March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Political Gamer;28575955]This is the one thing I never understand about the TF2 community, if a game or server-breaking bug pops up people will exploit it to no end for their own fun and then get upset when Valve fixes it. Yet the same group of people will complain to no end about how Valve won't fix other things that don't directly break the game (kill-icons). Also the "well its Valve's fault that the exploit is there" or "its really fun" are dumb as fuck excuses because your making someone else's day even more frustrating. The company who maintains the server is stressing out because it can't figured out why the server is crashing. The server admins are stressing out because their server is crashing and they don't know why. The players are stressing out because all they want to do is play TF2 and some asshole is crashing their favorite server. I don't care if its a furry server, I don't care if someone paid $10 for admin, your still making someone's day a living hell just so you can have some "fun."[/QUOTE] Are you the fun police

only do this in trading servers.

We were having a nice melee only server going, then two people did this. All melee is hard enough to get orchestrated without one retard messing it up by using guns.

:wtc:, I don't understand why hitting a civilian teammate with this thing could ever crash the server, codewise. I mean, dude.

Yes sorry for killing [i]your[/i] fun because [i]you[/i] want shut down a server [i]you[/i] don't like. Quite selfish if you ask me.

I'm going to do this in a competitive 6v6.

Oh man, Generic User and I just demolished five servers in a row. I feel a little bad, but also very evil.

I wish I could see the looks on their faces. I love exploits.

[QUOTE=inertmudkip;28577900] How are you supposed to civie with no cabinets?[/QUOTE] Use the old Sniper/Soldier/Demoman technique. Go 'Remember last weapon on death', so it brings out the weapon you last had out before you die. Pull out the smg/shotgun/sticky, change your loadout to the razor/gunboats/targe, then die.

I can't tell if I love this exploit more than I love playing samurai demoman in medieval mode. oh hi pageking

So, how long until this is patched do you think? [editline]13th March 2011[/editline] ALSO: We should try to take down every single server in TF2 with this. At the same time.

Infinite buildings was the best exploit.

[QUOTE=yellowoboe;28576023]Out of all the exploits/glitches that have happened over the years the infinite uber was by far my favorite.[/QUOTE] The unassigned exploit was the best imo.

[QUOTE=Antary;28578858]Infinite buildings was the best exploit.[/QUOTE] I agree. It was pretty fun on Turbine, with those vents leading to the intel room. I placed a bunch of minisentries (like 50 or so) near the vent exit. An overhealed heavy tried to get in the intel room. He was killed within a second. [editline]13th March 2011[/editline] Oh, and don't forget the endless wall of dispensers to defend the intel. If I needed metal, I could just run past all of them to get 200 metal in 0.01 second.

This may be fun, but you're severely retarded if you get upset when this is patched.

Why would anyone be upset if it were patched? Come ON man, there's no need to say it over and over and over and over.

One less cp_degrootkeep server to worry about.

So, how do you actually do the Civilian pose? The video showed a spy walking up to the resupply cabinet or something.

Have weapons switched by resup cabinet while taunting. Have game try to have you wielding a weapon that can't be wielded (so respawn with weapon remembered, but change to gunboats, targe, etc.)

"Fun police"? Grow up. You might think it's fun. Your friend who's going civilian might think it's fun. Nobody else fucking does. Political Gamer seems to be one of the few level headed people here. I can't believe people actually think it's funny to force a server to crash. Infinite buildings and spyspencers are one thing; crashing a server is on a much higher scale.
