Robot

Robot was an opponent of ours one random match during the glory days of Halo 3.

In Halo, you can use voice chat to freely communicate with your team. However, they built a neat little feature into the game whereby the enemy team can hear your voice chat if they get close enough to you. The closer they are, the louder they can hear your voice chat.

Robot blasted a never-ending stream of what sounded like an Eminem song over his party's voice chat, with a distinct and simple heavy beat. Robot had the music on way too loud and the song sounded like garbage, tinny and heavily distorted. His team must have hated him, with every single one of them muting him, because it would have been blasting at full volume to them at all times. We met Robot on Last Resort, a map from Halo 3. From our perspective on the other team, Robot would be coming, and you'd hear his horribly distorted beat coming too. It was just whisper quiet at first, but grew and grew as he approached. Because of how awful the sound quality on the song was, it made him sound like some sort of broken robot that was gone crazy. So we started treating him as such.

We'd plead with Robot, "Stop killing us Robot! We come in peace!" And he would murder us all the same. We tried giving him commands, to override his program.

Robot would not relent; Robot would not cease. Robot would not stop playing the BWOMP ba BWOMP baBWOMP ba BWOMP ba BWOMP beat.
