I know alot of you may be against the whole backstabbing in online games thing, but I figured I'd post this Warcraft 3 backstab video anyway that I made:

If BS'ing offends you, just don't watch it! keke! The quality is kind of bad though, since it's the trial version of Game Cam.

BS'ing huh? Reminds me of some of my old Starcraft days. Many a bs'er I've faced, and, even if you hate them, you'll grow to respect them due to how powerful the tactic is.

King n00b!

Maybe if I had ever played the game once in my life I would have understood wtf was even going on.

I watched maybe 9 minutes, and just shut it off out of confusion.

give me your eyes!!!

It was just over 8 minutes long by the way.

I had no clue what you were doing, but I assume you were randomly killing your own team-mates.

Well done you.

It's a legal tactic that you can use, the reason it's looked down upon is because it works with brutal efficiency.

Basically, pretty much all bs videos would be the same, one guy attacks his allies and will probably win due to the enormous amount of surprise.

The reason it is looked down upon is because it ruins the ladder rankings.

(don't know wich post Lambchop wrote to quote)

Are you dumb? Or have you never played a team match? If you didn't know, in online team matches, the teams are fair (ie 2 vs 2 or 4 vs 4) and you need to either work together or just plain kick the opponent's ass as usual. If you backstab, you're killing your own chances at winning, since your team's forces get diminished and you eventually get outnumbered or just plain DIE. HOW THE BLOODY HELL IS THAT SUPPOSE TO BE A GOOD STRATEGY?? It's legitimate (it's in the game, it's legitimate) but it's possibly the WORST IDEA POSSIBLE IF YOU'RE ACTUALLY TRYING TO WIN. I hope you understand (eventually)

I didn't look at the original video, is it StarCraft? Backstabbing is great fun, especially in 3v3 shared games with all the noobs.

Usually the best time to backstab is after your opponents have been crippled by a massive attack. That, or you can just backstab and win the 1v3 or whatever if you think you can pull it off.

This all becomes even more fun with a friend and ventrilo. Oh, so dirty.
