Ever since Wolfenstein for the PC came out, we’ve been fragging and lagging in our favorite FPS games. Popularity of this unique genre has brought in new attention through annual tournaments and LAN Parties across the world. Where would PC gaming, or even console gaming, be without the First-Person Shooter? Humiliating opponents or yourself is hard to accomplish in most scenarios, but when done can give such a rewarding feeling to the gamer (or a broken keyboard if it happens to be you.) Shortly after that feeling, the words “LOL”, “PWNED”, or “SKEET SKEET SKEET” will usually appear on the screen, or be laughed through the microphone. I’ve come up with a list of ways that I, as a gamer, believe are some of the most devastating kills that embarrass gamers.

As usual, these lists are lame.

Knifing should be #1 on any list. If you get knifed that's the ultimate in pwnage usually accompanied by T-bagging. Throwing a grenade at a guy and having it bounce back, killing you, is also not on the list

Though I am not sure it belongs in here, my favourite death in FPS took place about 8 years ago. Playing Quake (2 was it?) over lan at the university. My flatmate was at his room next door with his gf and a friend. We didn't have headsets or anything, so we just shouted to each other. At one level there was a pathway like a bridge and lava on the left and right side of it. As we were going near it he shouted, "quick follow me and do exactly as I do!" He started running over the bridge and for some reason he lost control and fell over to the lava. Just for fun I did the same thing. I was laughing for the whole evening with this.

How about having your own rocket's explosion blow you into a pit? (Yes, I've done that.

)

Stupid way to die (seen a Doom competition):

Have your opponent fall into an unescapable lava pit. Then fall yourself in the same pit, with your back towards the enemy so he can rocket you to death and win the round.

Another one that I saw at the said competiton was being chainsawed to death while spitting bullets around with the machine gun (but this pales compared to the first).

Edit: There's something missing in the telefragging section: in Duke Nukem3D you can teleport rockets, resulting in some seriously in some seriously baffled (and dead) opponents.
