Nah it's time to be a total badass and do it on your own. I love it how the pressure shifts on them, because it's expected that 5 people can take out just 1, but as that number gets steadily whittled down...
Do you panic or get scared when you're the last man standing?

I haven't played much competitive multiplayer since CS:Source, but I loved being the last man standing. If you die, well, no one can blame you, since they all died too, and if you manage to kill a bunch of them, or win the round, then you're a god. It's a win-win, really.
It's also really fun to be the last man in counterstrike's zombie mod, because everyone else in the game (who've all been turned into zombies) comes after you.

The sens of panic is sometimes there. But I love it. I become a fuckin' beast. For example, when I'm the last man standing in Counter Strike, I am unstoppable. I start moving around the map with such surgical precision. I don't miss a single shot. My reflexes become godlike. Adrenaline is pumping, concentration to 100%, and I end up killing everyone 80% of the time. Did I say how much I fuckin' love it?
It gets really tense but it is also pretty awesome, if your team fucked up than it doesn't really matter how you do. When you pull off a victory with crazy odds stacked against you and your whole team watching on cams, it is the most badass you are likely to ever feel. Gears of War, the first one, I swear at one time or another my friends and I were each turned into unstoppable badasses, it almost became an unspoken rule that the last man standing HAD to completely demolish the other team and the messed up thing is it usually went that way.
I panic and become super twitchy, which normally gives me amazing accuracy. Which usually ends up with me winning if its against 2 or 3 people, but anymore and I'll inevitably fail.
When I'm the last man standing on my team, suddenly every survival instinct I have comes into play (as well as heaping helpings of shit-in-your-pants fear). While I do find it legitimately terrifying (suddenly every in-game noise sounds like the impending of the enemy players) the satisfaction when you do manage to defeat the others and win the round is so satisfying that it makes it all worth it.

I never panic, mostly because I'm usually the best player on my team anyway, and if I can't pull out a win then no one can give me shit about it because they wouldn't have been able to either.
Also, I can usually pull out the win.

No, that is the reason I love survival modes, I'm just waiting until the other guys die and I'm the only one left, because suddenly what you do is the most important thing in the match, and when that pressure is on my shoulders it's like all my senses are enhanced and suddenly I have better aim and faster reflexes, not to mention it's always great when everyone's kissing you're ass because you saved the day.
In video games, I don't really worry about it.
If I'm playing paintball, I think oh shit, this is going to hurt.

I usually panic like crazy and end up getting shot instantly, but there have been a couple occasions when playing on MW2 with some friends I was the last man on S&D against 4 or 5 other players and I have managed to eliminate the entire team.
The best bit was at the end of the round when you can hear everyone in chat and my friends were laughing hysterically because I'm usually the worst player in the world and I was so hyped.

I get a lot of adrenaline. Heart beating fast, jumpy and everything. I play at my best when I am the last one alive.
Oh man, do I know how you feel. ^^hazabaza1 said:
I usually don't enjoy shooters that much, but I rarely felt as powerful as that one time, in SW : Battlefront 2, when my team had only one ticket left, and I was it, and ended up winning the game.
The thing is,at the time my last ally got shot, the ennemy had 80 dudes left. By the time I was done, the team chat was going INSANE.
Ah, jetpack + upgraded pistol : good times.
