"Holy $@&%, did I just do that?"

[Legendsmith]

Well, here is one of my finest Pyro moments in TF2:
The map was Badwater (A payload map) and I was on BLU team, running up the tunnel at the start of the map. I was about half way through when an enemy soldier and medic drop down on the far side and to my horror the medic activates Kritzkreig. For anyone who doesn't know, this makes every shot by the medic's patient a critical hit, when used on a soldier, his rockets become one hit kills, if I got hit even once I was giblets.

For some reason I kept running towards this launcher of rocket propelled destruction. The soldier fired off two shot while I was still at range, but I dodged the glowing death easily as he was still at long range. However, I realised that was what he wanted as now I could not dodge the second. However, unlike many (even most) Pyros I was not using the Backburner, which has no "airblast." I was using the default flamethrower, at the last moment I hit the secondary fire of my flamethrower; reflecting the rocket! However, it was not travelling back along it's old path and back towards the soldier; instead it flew in a glorious, smoke trailing blue glow towards the soldier's medic, scoring a direct hit and reducing him to to tiny bits of red flesh.

(All this happened in under 10 seconds)

In doing this I had not only saved a good deal of my team mates from death at the hands of this deadly duo, I had also deprived the enemy of a medic (and thus healing) for 20 seconds, allowing us to move our bomb cart over the first point.

At the end of that round as our bomb cart plunged into the nuclear pit at RED's spawn I apologised to that medic.

I rather enjoy FPS games, though I'm really not that good at them. However, I do happen to have my 'Holy $@&% I'm the One' moments. Case in point. A few years back I was playing BF2 multiplayer on the original XBox. I cannot for the life of me remember the map name, but it featured (I think) the americans and...want to say chinese, but the whole thing took place in this kind of bombed out town, with one side starting at this port area and the other starting out what appeared to be an oil silo or something of the sort, with this bridge connecting the two bases. It was on that bridge that one of the control points rested. I picked the special ops class for that game because I liked playing with the c4, and when the round started I headed straight for that bridge, set on capturing that point, not noticing that the entire rest of my team darted off a different way to capture a point on the other side of the map.

I was alone. But not for long.

Fate, as it would have it, decided that the entire enemy team would pick that game to decide to gather up as one and blitzkreig the hell out of that bridge. They had tanks, helicopters, jeeps, snipers on nearby roofs, you name it. By all account I should have had no chance. However, in the ensuing five minutes of chaos and swear words, I managed to do everything from c4 the helicopter, cause said chopper to crash into the enemy tank and nearly destroy it, destroy enemy jeep and tank with one well placed charge, somehow headshot the two snipers shooting at me by shooting blindly in their direction, and finally, just straight up murder the everloving crap out of the entire enemy team. By the time the shooting stopped, I had managed to wipe out all the opposing players, and never lost control of the bridge point.

Then I was kicked a few minutes later by my own team, because they claimed that I wasn't following the battle plan, and wasn't helping out in any way.

I won't describe it with words, instead, you get a video of it. Although it's not so uncommon for me to get similar frags. It's a 3x air rocket that stands out.

I was playing Halo: Reach on Countdown. The enemy were swarming out of this wide door, which all my teammates threw grenades into, killing a few, taking down the shields on the remaining two and obscuring it with smoke. I got out my pistol and emptied my small clip blindly into the smoke... and got a double kill. This is proof that the spray-and-pray method works damn well, in my view.

My friend also had a moment in the Reach Beta on Invasion, where he had a jetpack (which had got him up high but was now recharging slowly), was falling down to earth, and accidentally pressed B when he was just about to hit the ground and take a lot of damage. It turned out he'd been right next to this cloaked guy, who happened to be facing away from him - so he assassinated him (which enters this third person animation whereby you stab the target) and thus broke his fall.

one time me and my brother were having a sword fight with plastic swords (you are never too old for this btw) and right after we finished, he tried to hit me on my back, and i used my right hand to catch the tip of the sword on the back left side of me, completely without trying. it was glorious.

Any game that plays like that is terrible. Wheres the fun in a random ass lucky punch.

True, any game that either use luck to determine the effect of a attack or have a easy, no penalty or buildup kill move is badly design.

It's also realistic.
Skip to 4:20

Skip to 4:20? There's a difference between a game and real life (Hope you know that). Human body can fail. What happen in the match was that Kimbo got hit in the eyes and couldn't recover. They said this IN YOUR YOUTUBE VIDEO. In a video games, there should be equal chance on each side. Making something like a Kill move random doesn't make it awesome, it make it weak, insulting and unfair. Fighting game should always have as a premise that everyone can beat everyone fairly through skill.

I Was Playing MW2 With My Friends, I Threw Semtex On One Of Them, Messing Around, Some Guy Runs Into Him And Gets Blown Up For The Game Winning Kill!

In BC2 there was a blackhawk harassing my team, the defenders. I grabbed an RPG fired from the hip and hit right on its tail.

It was a clan match on call of duty 4 i hadnt played for a while but as i played semi pro on it still were better than my clan that were made up of my real life friends.We were playing in a tournment and we had done okay but had reached the knock out stages to find us going up against a decent clan and my mates were abit worried. We were on ambush in hardcore team death match

So i thought we will be defensive hold our side of the road and let them come to us.After two minutes of a few shots being fired across the street and nothing else really happening.We quickly realised that they were doing the same thing so playing as i normally do stealthing behind enemy lines.I told the guys i will sneak in cause a bit of panic and hopefully it will push them out onto the road so i mates can tear kill them in the open.

So i disappear under the road and the back up there side and over the fence.No one saw me do it so i started going around knifing everybody in the back.The enemy started panicing and tried to figure out where i was but i kept moving around there lines and taking them down.

There spawn moved to the grass part with the digger the bomb site in search and destory.That was on the opposite side of the same side of me but instead of moving out on to the road they carried on trying to pin me down.But i was running around all over the place shooting them even thou i was always out numbered then i brang out my helicopter.

Then i turned to my mates asking have they pushed onto the road yet and they were like no we still havent seen anybody.I asked really as i was pinned into the corner with heavy machine gun still killing people as they tried to finish me.Next thing i hear is my mates saying "shit spygon is 28 to 0 and no one has killed anybody else yet then one of my other mates chimed in i am so gald he is on our side everybody laughed".Then knowing nearly the whole enemy clans focus was on me i told my mates to rush across the road that they did killing quite a few enemies until a grenade went of near me killing me on a 32 to 0 score.

As the map opened up with battles going all over the place the game quickly ended with a huge win percenatge from my clan. Proberly the best i have ever played and spent nearly two minutes fighting off an entire clan.I was like i cant believe i just did that

I think you entirely missed my point. Which was that sometimes random lucky punches do have an effect.

So you misread or just skim over the very first part of my reply? REALITY =/= VIDOGAMES. So, that point is the only point I agree with you. It can happen in real life but [HEADING=1]Should it happen in video games? NO![/HEADING]

The opponent got a lucky punch in Kimbo's face and he slipped. The dude then capitalised on this and kept him down. Adding random events like this into a game make it more realistic.

No, it introduce a random chance that the winner would just being lucky despite the level of skill of the opponent. It can be implemented, but it should Always come with a price. A good example is the Guilty Gears series. The Insta-kill move are bound by the tension meter and if you didn't land the attack or get knock on your ass, you lose the tension bar. Beside, it's no fun to play a game where the variable of the game are taken from your hand, you never know if you deserved to win or did it by pure luck.

I'd be willing to bet it was a design choice. It's not like it happens every other fight. The guy said he had a lot of games that night and that this only happened the once. And hasn't happened since.

Answer me theses:
How can you make a fair fight when the variable of each hit are random and that any moment, you could pin the opponent by luck?
How can you be sure that it isn't triggered by a player or that the player can get it to work when he want to?

Really though. You need to chill the fuck out and actually read people posts instead of charging in with all the grace and wherewithal of a bull with side blinders.

You shoudn't assume that i post this in anger or that anyone that post a reply on one of your post to be doing so in a spite of anger. It doesn't speak highly of you. That aside, I basically said why it's such a bad idea that any game should have that mechanic build into it.

Oh! And by the way, you should chill out too. It's the internet, there's more then 7 billions of us and making a Issy fit because someone doesn't agree with you isn't the way to respond to someone that just want a nice discussion.

Jesus Christ, one guy reports what may well have been a glitch in the game that caused something awesome to occur instead of doing something bad like ruining the game or bricking his console and you two turn it into an argument on realism vs escapism.

The pair of you sit in a corner and think about what you have done.

To the OP:

Very awesome bit of fun you had there.

Counter-Strike. De_Dust2. Playing as CT walking down long (left from CT spawn).

This was back when I just started with FPS in general and was a total newb. 5+ terrorist come and I sling out my trusted Desert Eagle.

Final score? Headshot. Headshot. Headshot. 2 bodyshot. KIA. From fucking nowhere I get a 4 kill streak with a pistol. I have yet to beat that.

I'm just going to sum up.

There's a difference between a game and real life (Hope you know that).

You then began to lecture me on the events that took place in the video I posted.

Yeah? Because i hope you knew that! I have responded to a post saying: It could happen. We are talking about video games, it may be cool to see that in real life... but the point of a game is to entertain. It's not entertaining if it happen in game. So why counter with "it happen"?

And, i still asked you what the point. If you go back, you'll see I wrote 2 distinct questions that need answering.

Hey, let's try to keep it civil, OK? Don't bite each other's heads off.

 

[SideburnsPuppy]

I beat Lavos with just Crono on my first playthrough...only not actually.

My real moment was when I beat Monster X in Cave Story yesterday. I've been failing at that fight since mid-August and I only had about 4 health. I had pretty much accepted the battle as an impossibility, but when I finally did it...I was soooooo happy.

 

[KaiRai]

Saints row 2. I'd layed down a satchel charge whilst doing a samedi hood back (they attacked me), and a samedi car comes screaming over this charge, I set it off, car flies through the air, and takes out like 8 samedi, including the 3 liutenants I was supposed to be taking out

I don't think there's any possible way I could set it up to happen again though.
