Anyone here remembers the rule "Non-moving player facing walls means AFK -> Do not frag!"

Sure, I know the rule and respect it!

I know the rule, but I don't care about it!

17

Never heared of the rule, but I like it!

Never heared of the rule and seems lame to me!

I don't care!

I wonder sometimes, when this rule and sportsmanship got lost in the gaming world. In the beginning of the FPS multiplayer era, there was an unwritten rule, saying: "If a player is not moving and faces a wall, he is afk for a moment and therefore its gunmanship to frag him then!". You just moved on than and looked for other victims. I already played games, where this rule was respected. Of course it is not applicable to game modes where the opponent has to be decimated without respawn, like regular Counter-Strike or things like "Last Man Standing", but no matter what game mode I am playing the last years, the rule is absolutely abscent and nobody seems to care about it. I think it became obsolete, when all this tactical shooters came up and it's easier to apply in TDM or DM. I just wanted to know, how many people even had contact with this former unwritten law in their gaming history and what you think about it.

  • I remember this but all that went away when the console FPS started to take over. Back on PC where FPS was born,raised and a pillar of the gaming community this rule was followed most of the time. Written or not. Now? AFK=A Free Kill. There is no other way of saying. It's one firefight you don't have to worry about taking a bullet from,so it makes that k/d stat look just a little nicer so that your friends will agree with how leet you are.
