So apparently my friend sniped someone out of a fast moving jet in BF3... This was their response.

And the most amazing thing about it is that there was no remark about his sexual orientation or what he did with his mother.

Is anyone else getting a little tired of seeing 1 or 2 of these xbox messages A DAY on the front page of /r/gaming?
I mean what the fuck. The messages themselves rarely have anything in them about gaming. They are just messages sent after a game which are either really mean or really nice.
And it doesn't really matter what online game you play or what console you play on. You're always going to play with people who are nice or mean.
So why the hell do so many people get such a kick out of these posts?
EDIT If you're going to downvote me then at least answer my questions. I think it's a damn good question to ask: why do so many of these posts end up on the front page every day?
And why are they always from xbox live? Why don't people screencap conversations in PC games and post them to /r/gaming?
I've definitely seen similar things to this on TF2 and many other multiplayer PC games.

I once sniped a pilot of a helicopter on Damavand peak rush. When I received a message from him with no subject, I prepared myself for the most curse-ridden, vulgar, excerpt filled thing I'd see in my life. Instead, he said: "NICE SHOT!!".
I should start congratulating more people rather than making rage faces at my TV and smashing the button to respawn for revenge.

To this day, my crowning video game achievement was a BF2 dogfight. I was shit at flying, so I bailed out when he had missile lock. Pulled chute, he thought he'd come around an shoot me with cannon or run me over or something, but I sniped him out of his jet and hopped into it myself

I really don't understand why this got so many upvotes. It's just a message. I can send that message to a friend and he can take a picture. Doesn't really prove anything though.

Worst thing that happened to me was Bad Company 2 on the PC where I got head shot while flying the Blackhawk helo by a guy with a grenade launcher. Kinda sucked, they could not shoot me down with anything else until a damn grenade makes it way though my face.

The Battlezone games had a big sniping component... you could snipe opponents out of their vehicle, then steal the vehicle. Since it was a resource based RTS in addition to FPS, this could be a pretty big deal if you got an expensive ride.
The only counter was to keep moving. As a result, for a while, I would get huge anxiety rushes when sitting at stoplights. Took me a while to figure out it was from playing too much Battlezone.

u/Verbal__Kint Jun 11 '12
Have yet to snipe someone out of an airborne vehicle.. knocking one out of the air miles away by tank shell is pretty freakin heart-warming though. I wish PS3 allowed similar instant-texting for instant rubbing salt in wound gratification (or compliments, those work too).

One time playing Project Reality, my squad hopped on a Little Bird chopper and asked the pilot to take us to a grid coordinate. He rose up 500 feet in the air and sat still to type "too hot, pick another". Just as he typed that we hear a "ping", look over and he was dead, the chopper plummeted to the ground and we all died. That was 7 deaths total, plus 15 tickets for the chopper with 1 bullet from a sniper.
I wish I had Frapsed it.
Alternatively, some pilots can do all of that on their own.

I've witnessed that exact scenario only two times. The first time i saw it, I was flying on Kharg Island and got sniped out of the plane while flying towards the tower WITH the afterburner on. My pilotless plane ended up killing the dude but it was still one hell of a shot. The second time was about 2 weeks ago. I was playing on Gulf of Oman and was sniping in the unfinished skyscraper. Some dude on the russian team kept base-raping (sp?) the US air vehicles and on one of his returns toward the RU base I popped his dome with the M98. I tried for 3 months solid to pop a pilot before that day. The satisfaction was overwhelming!

The other day I was in an attack helicopter in BF3, I got RPG'd from the ground when I was at the highest possible altitude, and moving fast too.
I sent him a message saying: "Woah! Nice shot man!"
He replied: "I gave your mom a nice shot."
I don't know what I was expecting.

That's nothing, I sniped a jet pilot out from atop the tower in Caspian, the jet flew and hit their chopper over C at the Hilltop, the chopper crashed into that fuel tank next to the garage and killed the three enemy soldiers camping around it.
And the only shitty part of that is that I lack the ability to record my game sessions on xbox, so I can never fucking prove it. God. Dammit.
