Post your best gaming moment
2004-09-22, 5:06 PM #1
I've only really had one. It was a moment I'll remember probably for the rest of my life. What happened this day was against all odds, probably a million to one. The funny thing is, that's mostly from one round. The even funnier thing is: Some clan leader was observing me the whole time. Needless to say, I was invited to join. Anyway:

I remember this one time when my friend and I were fighting using those portable Digimon things when my newly hatched, out of the box character beat his full-evolved dragon thing 3-0. Ahhh, that must've been at least 5 years ago.
That painting was a gift, Todd. I'm taking it with me.

I had a game in AA where I got 5 kills in 4 or five rounds. I was tearing it up. I also had an M209 shot that nailed 4 guys at once

I think one of my best gaming moments was when I was testing a MotS level I never released (part of AtG: Hold the Line!) with stormtroopers and rebel commandoes with trench warfare, and I held off the entire Imperial stand-in army single-handedly and suvived with 0 shields and 1 health.

I can remember this one time at a LAN party, we were playing Red Faction... I was up against this guy, and he was good, real good. Anyway, we were playing a deathmatch, and he was kicking my ***... It was a large map, so there would be 15 or so seconds between respawns (either side) before we would see each other again. Enough time to reload, relocate, and find some bleeding shields...
Ok, in this map, there was a large center room with 3 levels of catwalks. I was on level 2, and I saw him enter the room on level 3...
I switched to the assault rifle and unloaded on him. The clip ran dry, so I switched to the shotgun and stated running backwards. Meanwhile, he pulls out the mp5 and starts wacking off my shields, running after me.
By the time we reached the end of the catwalks, I was out of shotgun ammo, so I switched to the next weapon and jumped backwards. He jumped after me. So, we were falling rather quickly to the ground, at the same time, about 10 feet apart. The weapon came up, and I fired.

The weapon just happened to be the sniper rifle, and I just happened to shoot him beetween the eyes. It was beautiful. I landed on my feet and went off to find some health, he landed on his head and went off to respawn.
Keep in mind, all this happened within about 5 seconds. Now, this guy had been 0wning my *** all night, and this was the turning point. I finally started making a comeback after this. This kind of thing happened dozens of times that night, but this was the first time....
And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.

first time playing Desert Combat's Village Map, I joined the coalition and para'd my *** with a buddy out of the copter. We landed in the town and theres rpgs everywhere and just mass hysteria but we got each others back and begin taking over flag after flag. We were unstoppable. We died probaly after a good 10 minute romp each of us getting 20+ kills.... I WAS HOOKED to DC after this cuz it felt kinda like BHD the movie... man was that fun...

i'll post one of my good moments..

i normally suck at CS... well one day i actually did pretty good but then the map changed and i started sucking again

well one round i'm just running around the map trying to find someone to kill then i get "necropimp you are the last one blah blah..." in the middle of the screen i say "crap my team is gonna lose" DID NOT HAPPEN 1 vs. 4 and i managed to kill all of them... even the one with the awp... i killed him with an ak47 from across the large area in aztec he was in the bomb site i had just entered the area after clearing out the area near the CT spawn...

i still can't believe i managed to pull that off

I beat Independence War...

End of story

Then for an encore, I beat Defiance.

Seriously, both games, start to finish with no hints, cheats, walkthroughs, or hacks. Just me, and my Sidewinder 3d Pro.


On a far less impressive note, but one most likely to be publicly recognized, just last week I beat the space station level in NOLF getting 100% accuracy, but I should also mention that every shot was a head shot...

True, but IMO the 15/0 K/D ratio nullifies any ROE I may have accrued. :)

Bah. I actually rarely remember such times. The best I can remember right now is an ONS-Torlan game I played back in June. My team lost, but:
  • Three memebers of my team (8v8 game) were AFK the whole time, just sitting ducks in the base.
  • The rest of my team was rather noob-ish.

Anyway, My final score was 267 (178 frags, and 2 deaths, the rest from nodes, mostly destruction), and the second-best was 109 (the whole opposite temas score added up was still less than mine). The game lasted until the power drain killed my (slightly weakened) core.

Also, when I was extremely bored, I took up the hobby of trying to see how many console games I could beat (in their entirety) in a single day. I do know that I completed Zelda III (Link to the Past) perfectly (0 deaths, all items, 20 hearts), in roughly 8 hours.

Halo at a lan party, 2 vs 2, my team mate was killed and i had two people flying at me in a warthog, they somehow managed to flip it and i sniped them both before they hit the ground.... they were both cussing me but it was funny because they caused their own death.

burrie will like this one: playing multiplayer NWN for the first time rocked. It's so much more fun to play it that way than with the single player modules.

Another favourite would be stepping out into the Phendrana Drifts on Metroid Prime for the first time :eek:

Halo LAN party, me in a warthog going towards red base (we were blue), I go over a hill just in time to meet Mr. Rocket, flip all the way over (other people in hog died), proceed to run over the guy, run over 5 more people before getting out, running into base, getting out with flag, passing it on for the person to score winning point in said game.

Heh, the other day I was playing one of the Onslaught maps in UT2K4 (can't remember which one). Anyways, I was defending a powernode, and there was an enemy scorpion coming towards me (it was probably at least a kilometer away). So I zoom in with the lightning gun, pop off a shot, and miss. So i exit out of zoom mode, and fire randomly in the direction of the scorpion, not really expecting to hit anything...

HEAD SHOT!

I somehow managed to shoot the guy right in the head, effectively stopping his vehicle. I swear, that shot was one in a million.

Today, in AA, is my most memorable.

I'm on assault on the Night parachute level, where you have to attack two bunkers and win by force or sniping w/ M4s. My whole team dies, except for me, and I'm behind the Humvee flanking the right bunker, and there's one enemy left in the far bunker. As soon as I go around the corner to the objective, He fires at me and misses, so I take cover and fire at him from behind the bunker, missing him barely. Stupid wood. :( Then, I go back to the corner of the objective building, dash out and fire two random bursts. One of the shots hits him squarely in the head, and he dies instantly. We win. Afterwards, someone says 'Beautiful shooting', which is rare in AA, where everyone either has 70 honor or 10 honor. Made me feel warm and gooey inside. :D

I was playing Red Alert 2 against a buddy across the hall in the dorms. He had stormed and pillaged my base by land, but neglected to destroy a Naval Center out back. I had plenty of credits still left, so I built about seven air carriers and a few destroyers/Aegis cruisers. He couldn't figure out where I was hiding for the life of him. I send my little Navy around to the back of the base and start hitting everything I can. He panics and sells everything. I hunted down his last units and won. :)

I gather you haven't played America's Army?

FreeLancer got a quite nice score. He had 15 kills, as shown by the "150" under "Enemy." Each kill is worth 10 points. ROE is Rules of Engagement violation, so he got some negative points for that. He also accomplished the goals in the mission, hence the large "Goals" score. But really, it's the 15 kills that's impressive. 15 kills in an AA game is rare.

When I discovered that my true calling in Halo PC differed from that of my calling on the Xbox version.l

On Xbox, I usually charge into battle and fair pretty damned well. I suck very badly at sniping. I can't precision aim with thumbsticks at all.

It's the reverse on Halo PC, however. Oh, I can charge into battle guns blazing, only to usually get mowed down by a passing Worthog, a pistol spammer, or a damned well placed grenade. But sniping? Get me behind Red Base on Blood Gulch in those cliffs with enough ammo, and I dominate the level.

On night, I played 8v8 CTF on Blood Gulch. The game started. I loaded up and went into battle as usual. This quickly got me killed. The Blue Team in it's entirety was waiting on the other side of the teleporter for us. Don't ask how or why, I don't know. They retreat. We head out in a Worthog to try and snatch the flag. I was the gunner. One well placed grenade and a rocket to our backside from a active cammo clad blue dude later, and we were all dead again. This went on for about 10 minutes. My score remained zero. The Blue Team seemed to be able to do alot of quick kills, but in a longer battle, they always lost. That became the strategy. Draw out the battle, get the flag, go back. It worked a few times.

Cut to about 10 minutes later. The score is tied 2 - 2. One capture wins. My score is still zip, and I'm frustrated. So, I spawn again near the sniper rifle. "What the hell," I say, "it can't hurt to try." I grab it, drop down, swap the pistol for a shot gun, get some frag grenades, and head up behind Red base.

In the 5 minutes that followed, I managed to get kill, after kill, after kill, after kill. It was very literally, insane. I had NOTHING the entire game, and suddenly, here I am, racking up frags like no ones business. No one on the Blue team could step far away from the base without getting a round in the head. Kill/consume ammo, drop down, get ammo, go up, kill/consume ammo, repeat. While I'm doing this, the rest of my team is trying to mount the offensive needed to get that flag. While I was doing a fine job of whooping *** from where I was, there was always at least one blue guy who managed to stay out of my view, and thus, manage to flip the 'hog and kill the team.

After getting about 20 kills this way, I get a message broadcast to everyone in game from a blue guy, asking me to stop. Why should I? I'm doing my part. The game is suddenly very hard. He didn't like my answer. A minute later, he's screaming for anyone on his team who can to take me out.

They finally succeeded 2 minutes later. One man, in a worthog, managed to stay completely out of my field of view, and even off my radar, until it was far too late. He drove right up there, ran me over, and sped off. But not before I re-spawned and killed him as he ran.

I gather my guns and head back, only to find, there's another one of my guys up there now, using a damned pistol to snipe in my place, and guarding my partially used rifle and whatever ammo is left. He isn't doing much damage from that far back, but the hits he does make cause confusion. So I pick up right where I left off.

It was never the same as that brief moment when I had total dominance of the level, but I still massed a fair number of kills. And 3 minutes later, we possessed their flag, at our base, and scored.

The end game tally showed me in last place with 33 kills. Everyone else was way up above me. But, for a sniper, whose job is to take careful shots and stay hidden, that's a damned respectable score. Especially for something that was gained in the last 30 minutes of the game. I got a massed round of cheers and such after the game, even from the guy who asked me to stop and sent his team after me.

That right there, is not only one of the best game moments I've ever had, but one of the best HaloPC Multiplayer games I've ever played. You know why? It was at a Lan party and not online.

I've never come close to exceling like that again, but man, give me the right conditions, and I can be positively DEADLY with that gun.

Hmm, I remember some where I can decide which is the best.

The first was Unreal Tournament, the first one, about 5 years ago on one of my first LAN partys at my home. We were about 5 or 6 guys playing "Assault" against bots. Than we played Jedi Knight CTF with that mod where the flag is a monkey :) - it was very much fun, tough, or because we didn't really know the rules yet. You could hear screams of joy and laughing through the room. (WTF? WHO HAS THE MONKEY?!)

The next one was another LAN Party, we were 4 persons (even a girl played with us, haha). NWN, the first Add-on, just some days after it was released. Everybody was playing a character that somehow resembled him. And my big friend played an half-orc, rather stupid with the name "Grog Saufviel" (the guys real name is Gregor and Saufviel means Drinkmuch), since he wasn't very comfortable with the game it fitted perfectly when he ran alone into hords of enemies :)

And the only one without friends, that I would count here to was a round of CS (Internet) were I usually suck a bit. Almost the same story as DrkJedi82's. I was the only one left against 3 or 4 others. I had a shotgun. Than only one was left. I had just connected 4 speakers. And that was the death of that one left, as I heard exactly were he came along. Dust2, he came to the bombing place b through this corridor there I just turned around and hit the mouse button, he hit the floor.

:) Hmm, as I see I don't recall the SP things, tough I am usual more the SP type of player. Perhaps there have to be others watching to feel proud or to have really much fun.
