Half-Life 2. Just Half-Life 2.
Punt'N Nuking in Freelancer Combat Evolved, a Halo space combat mod for Freelancer, I became rather good at a tactic of killing Assault Carriers (Pains to kill) with only a Light Cruiser (Frigates carry more guns and are smaller, but less armour) where you simply took your light cruiser, came in at an angle you could could manuever with them and rammed, shields would go bam due to the cruisers mass and you nuke. Both ships die, but a Light Cruiser is a joke ship, where the Assault Carrier is one of the most powerful in their arsenal. Not to mention ramming spun 'em like a top. xD

52 Win streak in Lightsaber duel in Jedi Academy
Or that time in Medal of Honor, on a custom map (forgot the name). The match always starts with nade spam to eachothers base, and bad luck made me end up on my own, 10 seconds into the match, with my sniper rifle, against 7 krauts at close range, still at the spawnpoint, where there's only 2 possible ways to run.
Guerilla warfare ftw, stealing their guns so I could confuse them when they heard gunfire, switching to pistol quickly instead of reloading (CoD4 is the first game ever to actually recommend weapon swapping if reloading takes too long, I think... I'm pretty proud I already knew of the tactic 5 years prior to that).
Anyhoo. 5 minutes and 7 dead Germans later, I got asked to join clans by half of the server population ^^
Another MoH one... I was on another clan's server, there were 28 people, of which 27 from that one clan, me being the outsider (but well befriended with them, they were constantly asking me to join). I was number 1 in the ranking, 2 maps in a row. Wewt.
A bit more recently... first time I played CoD4 was at a lanparty. I was still configuring the controls when someone asked me to be his partner at a competition, because he couldn't find anyone else. I accepted, and could only mess around for about 10 minutes in MP before the actual compo started. So basically I was level 3, facing nothing but level 55's. We stranded in the finals, because the other team had grenade launchers (which I did not have), and just kept killing us from afar with them. Really lamely played, but meh.
At the same lanparty, played some UT2k4, 8 man FFA. I went shieldgun-only, and won. Always hilarious when you see 5 people in the same room trying to kill eachother, you barge in with a charged shieldgun, and they all try to get away from you asap. Needless to say, they didn't succeed in escaping me that well.

Finishing the first Halo on legendary for the first time solo.
Escaping on the boat at the end of death toll after my whole team was killed, the only reason I made it is because a tank smacked out into the lake and I just ran.
Beating DOOM for the first time.
Any successful speed run I did on Duke Nukem 3D.
Beating any level of CoD WaW on veteran.

That sounded so awesome, I wish my DC jack on my laptop wasn't borked right now else I would go play some Max Payne right now.Aries_Split said:
Getting "worst day shift manager ever" that was great.
Hmm when I beat PSO episode 2 on ultimate.

I'll be venturing into that territory with my friend (who is slightly below average when it comes to shooters) soon. We've completed Hardcore, and now the final frontier awaits us.Danzorz said:
Wish me luck.
Anyway, Finishing Ocarina of Time for the first time made me feel incredibly proud. No, insanely proud
Oh, I can SOOO top that. It took me the best part of twenty years to finally beat Last Ninja 3 on the C64.Aedwynn said:

Think my first expert I was pretty psyched too, but come to think of it the most joy inspiring was L4D versus.rossatdi said:
I was on Infected and the survivors were playing pretty cheap, using any closets they could find, spamming molotov's everywhere, and generally being punks. On No Mercy 4, I spawned as the tank, and promptly punched the first two to come at me off the building. The other two got past me, dropped a molotov in my way, and one survivor made it to safety. A smoker nabbed the other, and having just killed the hunters he came back out to save his partner, but the fire had faded and lo and behold, I'm back. Smashed another one off the building and then punched the other one around till he dropped. Got Lamb 2 Slaughter and All 4 Dead at the same time. I was SOOOO pumped.
In Battlefield 2, an enemy helicopter was hovering over a control point, capturing it. I was a spec-ops, and had C4. I ran to the oblivious chopper, stuck the C4 to it, ran back behind cover, and detonated right before it captured the spawn.
In Left 4 Dead, anytime you knock a survivor off the roof of No Mercy Hospital as a tank.
Also, Rome Total War is filled with satisfying moments. Watching your pathetic army of <500 men defending a critical city not only hold off, but OBLITERATE an enemy force of over 2,000, is a truly awesome feeling.

i was playing Super Smash Bros Brawl one time, facing three meta knights as Link. i threw a capsule at them and out popped a Bob-omb, they were in a triangle formation surrounding the bob-omb, i shot an arrow, it hit the bob-omb and two of em died. i paused, threw my hands in the air and shouted "OH YEAH!!!"
