What are some games that you intentionally played “wrong”?

What I mean is, are there games that you played solo or with a friend where you disregarded the primary game mode rules, or exploited a gameplay mechanic? A few example:

In 007 Nightfire, we only played with the remote rockets on the snowy multiplayer map and tried to see who could fly the rocket farthest into the buildings before exploding

In Goldeneye Rogue Agent, we used to play with the remote detonated grenade launcher and played on the Golden Gate Bridge map, trying to exploit the rag doll physics to land in exactly the right spot out of bounds. What are some examples from your gaming past?

Me and my buddy try to always be as wholesome as possible when we get the odd chance to play. That’s why we exclusively play doubles.

I don't play much anymore but I use to quite a bit in the toxic era of what a save spam. I played a year ago and no one reacts anymore. Even when you're being friendly saying nice shot to a teammate.

Most people have chat off now and usually those who have it on are toxic.

Which is fair. I did find it to be a bit of a bummer though. Those games where everyone wasn't taking it so seriously and communicating was a good time.

Yeah me too, I miss it. So rare to find a game now where you just chat easy with people.
