BF 2142

Riding a drop pod down from the Titan, only to see that an enemy dropship fricking packed full of troops was going to beat me to the capture point I was aimed at. So, I figure, what the hell; I aim my drop pod at it, to give it a good nudge(or just see what would happen), rather resigned to my fate of being pwned when it dropped troops. Well, it turns out, I crashed through them like some kind of giant rail gun, causing the full dropship to turn into a fireball that took all hands with it. I landed directly on the point, hunkered down, and took it without fuss.

On another map(it's been so long, I forgot names), the one covered in snow with the giant friggin wall, I manned a Gauss turret and held off an armored offensive, scoring three mech kills and two tanks before someone finally had the brilliant idea of flanking and knifing me. Still, the spear head was stalled, and we turned it around on them.

CoD IV
Being killed by a team of incredibly well drilled, efficient players who moved in a tactical file down an alley and turned away when I dropped... only to realize too late that I was making a Last Stand. Killed all five of them with a Colt, all chest and head shots. It was Magical, forever.

Star Wars: Battlefront
On Dantoine, I think the map was called arena or something. Anyway, we had the Jedi Hero advantage, meaning Darth Vader FTW. Well, the rebels were coming out in force... I mean, shit, they were SWARMING down these two linked staircases, and there I was, a normal storm trooper cursing and firing my E-11 like there was no tomorrow, somehow scoring a high kill ratio as I spun left and right trying to stem the tide with lasers... then, while reloading and pivoting, there's the Big Man Himself.

Suddenly I'm back to back with Lord Darth Vader, him with his saber and me with my rifle, cutting down an ungodly tide of rebel scum that had my adrenaline pumping as I approached the end of my last clip... and suddenly, they just stopped coming. I turned to look at the Dark Lord of the Sith, and he turned to face me, as if in some kind of acknowledgement, before turning back and running up the stair he had held with me. Me, shaking with excitement and the post shootergasm jitters, hurried up the other joined stair.

And finally, Mos Eisley. The battle was fierce, me and my imperial comrades down to just five troops against three times as many rebels; we'd rallied along one of the main avenues, all of us standard soldiers, staring down a street riddled with rebels taking cover and advancing. I looked amongst our troops, and noticed only three others of my number. I looked at the counter again, and then shrugged and continued to fire shots at the advancing enemy, who came with in spitting distance... and then ran back, firing high.

I turn while reloading, curious as to what is going on, to have an AT-ST's big, glorious chicken foot come crushing down beside me, rushing up the street and firing it's guns into the shocked rebels. As one, we all ran out of cover alongside of it, blasting away at anything it missed and claiming victory. Good times... :p

when i used to call of duty 3 one of my favorite strategies was to hold a grenade without throwing it and runing right into the enemy base

When playing WoW on my rogue I was in Warsong Gulch (the capture the flag battleground) on about 10% hp. There was a fair amount of fighting in the enemy flag room. I ran up, took the flag, wandered out, picked up the 100% speed relic on the way out of the horde base, ran out the base, sprinted twice across the valley floor, still on about 10% life (I could have been 2 shotted bu about half the horde team) hit our speed relic and captured the flag. The game was already at 2-2.

In Killzone I won a game by running in holding a primed grenade and killing 5 people on the other team... and myself.

I'm gonna nerd it up by saying that I went on a suicide rampage with a team of level 38 and one level 57 pokemon and beat the elite four with only six revives.

I do that (run into a room full of enemies, just because) all the time. The only game it works consistently in is Halo 3 for some reason. In Call of Duty 4, this "strategy" can get very, very frustrating - seeing as it takes way less fire power to kill someone.

At least you'll have something nostalgic to tell your grand-kids some day.

Well, in some 'suicidal' situations I've managed to get incredibly lucky and wriggle my way out. On COD4 Search and Destroy, I took out two guys with flash bangs to the heads, and sprayed two others with a P90, winning the round. Am I a god, or a lucky bastard with retarded thumbs? It's hard to tell sometimes.

Most capture the flag runs on Halo 3 on the Avalanche map.

My standard tactic is to drive the Warthog straight over the griff cannon to the enemy base, bail out in mid-air with gun blazing and let two and a half tonnes of oncoming vehicle kill or at least bowl over the people guarding the base, leaving me to pick off the wounded with my rifle, grab the flag and cannon back out. Works even better if you have the rocket launcher.

One time on Yavin, I, playing as a stormtrooper, charged to the central command post, in the middle of the ruins, to take it for the Empire. We took the command post, and almost immediately the rebels swarmed me and my comrades. I was surrounded, the rebel sum coming at me from every possible direction, myself using the ruins as cover.I was effectively alone, even with a command post right next to me,and couldn't move from the ruins, what with the snipers tracing me from the high ground, killing wave after wave of them, grabbing ammo and bacta, then darting back behind the wall, killing any fool who tried to surprise me. When I finally died, I had killed 25 of the Rebel Scum. Fortunately, as I died, more troops came to reinforce my position, and we won the battle because of it.

You can kill people with flashbangs? Wow...

Sure. Throwing a few at the start of a Hardcore match is a good stress reliever, as you hopefully take out a few unsuspecting team mates, appeasing the manic within us all.

Alright; about 3 months ago or so, I was playing GunZ in a team death match. The other team decides to stack horribly, and my team started to wither away, until it was only me and another guy against TEN other people. Both of us rush in as quickly as possible to the enemy base, and surprise the enemy, raping one of their people into death with our swords. I throw down a flash grenade, and my partner throws 2 frags. The enemy scatters, and we pick off 4 people as they run around like headless chickens. We camp outside as the other 5 people in their room decide to wait for us to invade. I throw down another flash, and the two of us rush in again. My partner gets killed early on, but we've managed to take out 2 other guys while we were at it.

So it's down to me against 3 other people. I bounce off the wall, massiving two people as I come in. I quickly finish off one, and the other gets me down to near death before I could kill them. The last scumbag of the other team had apperantly ran off to go heal, so I quietly sneak out of the room (tumbling is silent). I tumble to the edge of the corridor, and hear the guy using his medkits. I quickly dash out, hit him once, and shoot him twice.

GAME. SET. MATCH.

In GTA4, flying sideways in a helicopter 2 feet off the ground, the rotors scraping across the road. See, there were a bunch of enemies on the road, and I chopped them up with the rotors and somehow managed to pull up intact.

on Halo 3 I was playing a CTF game on avalanche. I grabbed a rocket launcher and headed off to capture the enemy flag. I went off the mancannon as an enemy warthog flew right below me. I landed and waited for the warthog to return. Sure enough it did and as it prepared for landing I hit it with a rocket mid-air...I don't know if that's considered to be suicidal but it was awesome.

In Battlefield 1942 Rode to Rome my entire team actaully switched to engineer and bayonet charged the enemy. It. Was. Awesome. 32 players all charging uphill, alot of us were slaughtered but we captured 2 control points and it was amazing and the most fun I've had playing that game in a long time.

Counter Strike Source. Nades flying everywhere, and no one was pushing, so i said "screw it" ran out into the bomb zone, managed to kill 8 Counter Terrorists, while none of them saw me standing in the opening... Jaw dropped, and just kind of wondered what server I was really on.

Oh, and 32-2 on a server while half of the game I had the "red ring and beep" from accidental TK, and still no one killed me.

Halo 3 fighting the 2 scarabs in the snow. I drove the mongoose with the Rocket Launcher marine into the fight. I used one of the ramps to jump on top of the right scarab at the beginning of the fight when they're all fresh. The mongoose is soaring towards the scarab as the marine fires a rocket that takes out one of the brutes. We land right on the front, and to keep from getting instantly killed, I drive the mongoose to the top of the scarab right beneath the turret on top. Unfortunately the marine doesn't make it. After my shields recharge, I run straight towards the back to get at the power core, largely ignoring the covenant trying to kill me. I melee the shield open, throw in a plasma and run straight back up to the mongoose, jump in, floor it and ramp off of the scarab right as it's exploding. The explosion takes out all my shield and launches me to the side of the gulch, with covenant bodies and scarab parts flying everywhere. I so wish I could make a video of that.

You could have. I think Bungie.net records the footage of your last 11 matches. It's a thing of beauty.

I have to say that the definition "Most suicidal moment in gaming that actually worked" is mutually exclusive to me.

If I pull some crazy-wicked thing that works, it's not suicidal, it's awesome. It's only when it doesn't work that one might label it suicidal.

Games are not meant to be played with safety pads.
