An age old thread on UnrealPlayground, quoted here:
Fro's tips for being 1337 (I expect to be 1337 myself in about 3 years):
1) Instead of calmly saying "incoming" when an enemy approaches, I yell "HELLLLLLLLLPPP!!!!!! THEY'RE KILLING MEEEEE!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" and that seems to be pretty effective in terms of bringing back-up quickly.
2) In order to keep my efficiency numbers up, I hide a lot. For instance, if I kill someone right at the beginning of a map (and before I get killed), I'll just find a nice little spot to hide in and hole up for the remainder of the map. Then after hiding for 20 minutes, and regardless whether my team has won or lost, I say "HA!!! 100% efficiency!! GG N00BS!! POWNT!!!!" Why? Because that = 1337
3) Whenever the other team caps on us, I spam "GG NO TEAM => GG NO TEAM => GG NO TEAM => GG NO TEAM => GG NO TEAM => GG NO TEAM => GG NO TEAM => GG NO TEAM => GG NO TEAM" endlessly, so that the other team realizes that it wasn't *MY* fault that they capped, but the fault of my lame-assed teammates, who couldn't manage to kill the efc despite my 1337 100% efficiency (see above).
4) Also, whenever I get killed, I spam "GG LAG N00B BS" over and over until I'm sure that the player who killed me realizes that killing me had nothing to do with skill, and that I am far too 1337 for them to have killed legitimately. Also usable (depending upon circumstances) are: "GG Radar," "GG Spam," "GG Pulse/Mini." Calling the defenders "campers" is also commonly used by uber-1337 players.
5) But without a doubt, the most 1337 skill to master is known as "Spree Fuc____" your team. That basically entails doing anything and everything possible to avoid getting killed, so that you can get to Unstoppable, Dominating, or even Godlike status. That includes running away from any opponent that sees you coming, letting the efc go if he has any cover at all, camping the belt and running around to pick up health while the efc walks back to his base slowly, etc., etc. A critical component of this is stopping to take a screenie with "Godlike!" on it so that you can post it on ProU. That way the entire 1337 community will know that your team got crushed and sucks ass, but that *YOU* are uber-1337 just like them.
Take care!
