10 Video Games That Let You Be An Utter Scumbag

4. Rainbow Six Siege

And now for something a little different. Rainbow Six Siege has enjoyed a surprisingly long life thanks to constant support from Ubisoft following a rough launch, yet as with any popular online game, it attracts its fair share of bad apples.

Rather than simply shouting expletives about your mum down a mic, offending players are able to fundamentally ruin matches due to Siege's commitment to realism, namely the inclusion of friendly fire.

It's been the bane of Siege since launch that players can wantonly troll their own team with friendly fire and team killing without sufficient punishment, and only this past month has Ubisoft finally introduced a reverse-friendly fire mechanic (which deflects damage back to the offender after a certain threshold).

Still, don't be surprised if ingenious try-hards figure out a way to exploit the new system to their own nefarious ends. Even so, it's a step in the right direction.

But for the last three-and-a-half years, Siege has allowed anonymous online idiots to run riot, harnessing their most inner-tosspot to the rage of millions of earnest players.
