Do you know what 'telefragging' is?

[Heart of Poumn]

I need to see if I'm old.

 

[Lego Killer Moth]

what

 

[EllipsisBreak]

I know it. But maybe I'm old too.

 

[EduBRK]

Yes, but you're old, as I am.

Not a problem. Embrace it.

 

[Murlin]

Trying to think when the last time this was relevant, I think Team Fortress 2?

 

[Deleted member 31817]

I know yes

 

[Uzupedro]

I've heard this word before, but I have no idea what it is.

Instakilling someone by teleporting into the space they currently occupy.

 

[Trike]

Nope, but it looks like not everyone in 2001 did either. But to be fair I barely played unreal.

 

[ColdSun]

Ah, the good ol Quake 1 DM days :(

 

[RockmanBN]

24. Only time I heard it was when some dude kept getting Delirium in Isaac teleporting over him and taking unavoidable damage.

 

[Alex2DX]

Welp, im old. Telewhatnow?

Good news. Not knowing means you;re young!

 

[Mirage]

No idea what this is.

 

[Rhete]

You can do this in Spelunky as well

 

[ColdSun]

Too many young people here. Time for an age gate for posts
:(

 

[xir]

someone should make a player purity test like the old internet purity test:
"Have you ever been to Newark NJ? If yes lose 30 points"

 

[super-famicom]

Yes, and it's spelled telefragging.

Fun fact: telefragging exists in Supraland, a game released in 2019.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Of course I played Unreal Tournament. Who hasn't played Unreal Tournament?

 

[Hailinel]

I know what it is, but I'm also not exactly young.

I consider TF2 telefragging to be pseudotelefragging because it isn't active telefragging, if that makes sense.

I also think telefragging should have an extra g in it, OP.

 

[Heart of Poumn]

Yes, and it's spelled telefragging.

I'm sorry. I'm in weekend era fashion and have had a few drinks.

 

[ThatsMyTrunks]

Yes, but I'm old too.

 

[UraMallas]

im 37 and what is this

 

[Vivian-Pogo]

Nope, I did not know (thought it would be something with lag). But I have experienced it in co-op classic DOOM / Duke Nukem 3D on accident.

 

[SrirachaX]

UT players say yo

Yeah, this is what I remember from my days playing Unreal Tournament 2k3/2k4.

 

[EvilChameleon]

Loved setting up a translocator "beacon" in the enemy base on CTF in UT2004, and on those rare occasions where someone was standing on it, boom, they are quickly one man down and I'm already out the door with their flag.

More like uninformed...32 is probably old for this forum.

 

[Vulcano's Assistant]

What happened to that last quake game from 2017 anyhow?

 

[leder_]

Telefragging is a mechanic in Spelunky

 

[Moist_Owlet]

Let's be honest, UT2k4 was the last decent FPS

Might be average for ERA. Maybe slightly younger.

 

[Deleted member 5853]

Any Engie main eventually learns about telefragging.

 

[Phoenixazure]

Did that to that one boss in Dusk...fucker deserved it

 

[rpm]

I'm a Zoomer and I know what this is, I don't think it's an age thing so much as it is "how familiar are you with arena shooters"

 

[Belthazar90]

Yes, but I'm also old

It's good, played over 100 hours, I really wish it had custom maps and servers.

 

[JustinH]

Yes, I do.
I relate the term to id games though, not UT.

I did play UT a lot though.

the misspelling does kinda bother me, though

This is sort of what I want to know though. What zoomer would know about arena shooters? They're not exactly popular right now.

You would be surprised.
