Many the gamer playing Modern Warfare 2 into the wee hours of the morning eventually discovered that they didn't have to aim anymore as long as they prepped with plenty of grenades for their launcher. Better yet, the attachment for their assault rifle could be unlocked to give them a last ditch (or only) effort to take out players from across the map. Of course, it was necessary to use it for a while to get the unlocks and achievements. However, we're talking about the little kids that eventually adopted blowing every one to Rio de Janeiro as a standard procedure. Contrary to popular belief, noob tubing is not a strategy - you're just a jerk.
3. The Facility Bathroom Fortress - Goldeneye 007
Want to be a jerk in Goldeneye 007? Do the following. First, make sure you always pick the Facility as the map. Ignore the cries of contempt from your fellow players. Second, make sure you allow proximity mines and assault rifles. Finally, make sure you pick Oddjob. You are ready to be the biggest jerk possible in Goldeneye 007 multiplayer. Simply line the walls with proximity mines, crouch in the corner and you're good for the next 15 minutes or so. Even if your friends manage to penetrate your bathroom fortress, you can just take them out at the knees and refill your ammo from the stalls. Picking Oddjob was enough to result in some groans. Camping the Facility bathroom with Oddjob insured that you spent the rest of your time playing the single player campaign.
2. Out Camping - Every Single Multiplayer Shooting Game Ever Made
You are despised. By many accounts, you ruin shooters for everyone by employing zero strategy and crouching in a dark corner with the most powerful weapon you can find. Better yet, you were the ultra-hated combo jerk with your claymores, tent and noob tube all ready for the maybe 2 kills you got the whole match. In real combat, everyone is a camper. Online, make the game fun for everyone and charge into a firefight once in a while. Ask any sniper in real life - they relocate. If you were kind enough to at least try to convince people that you were a sniper, that was cool. However, the vast majority of campers simply waiting in anticipation of some much braver person coming around the corner only to unload about 1,000 bullets into their torso.
1. Shell Bumping Old School - Mario Bros.
This was one of the first opportunities that we had to be a jerk in multiplayer. After Mario endlessly tried to rescue the princess from Donkey Kong, he took a break from princess chasing to go back to his roots - hoping around in a sewer. Unlike the other jerk moves on this list, this one took a little luck and some planning - the reason why it's our number one pick. Here's how it was done. The first player noticed an enemy making its way along the top level and the second player approaching, hoping to jump over it and move on. As the player jumped, you simply jumped up to hit the enemy upwards and kill the second player in the middle of their jump. What a jerk. This was one of the first opportunities for players to surprise their opponents with a surprising jerk move and, to this day, its still hilarious when you can pull it off.
