Most suicidal moment in gaming that actually worked

[fluffylandmine]

halo 3 co-op level: halo

we were fighting off the flood then when it was time to advance i got swarmed, but my friend didn't and i had the rockets so he moved on and i decided to take as many as them with because i would've died regardless next thing you know...ALLAH!...BOOM!... and i had just barely survived.

also at the top of the tower we used all ar weapons except the assult rifle no 'nades just ARs
and we won wave after wave.

In Mass Effect - I was near the end of the ExoGeni Base on Feros, where you go down a staircase and there's this room full of Geth and the claw of the dropship that you need to detach. I pulled a Leeroy Jenkins and just ran down the stairs, assault rifle blazing. I took one of the flashlight-head bastards down, and then looked around at the bodies of the rest, at least half a dozen or so. My boys Garrus and Wrex had taken them all out in the time that I had killed one!

Halo 3-Custom games: 2on2, the other team were in a scorpion, so me and my friend, being the retards that we are, got ion the same mongoose, and charged them, it was the entire length of sandtrap, and we still got to them and blew them up before they got us!

As a Sniper in TF2, I was running along after a Scount in a tight space. I let off a reckless, unscoped shot with the Rifle, which hit him and killed him.

Boom, headshot pro.

 

[rabidmidget]

once in tf2 goldmine as a demoman, i was left the only defender against about 7 guys swarming around the minecart, and i somehow managed to kill them all by dropping a bunch of sticky grenades on the track and detonating them once they were under the cart.

Pretty much the entire campaign in Call of Duty 4 on Veteran. God, those Arabs must have super vision or something!

Don't forget the damned Russians. Actually, I'd love to kill the guys who were present on Mile High Club. Oh wait...

Star Wars Battlefront

Co-op on Kamino, playing as the confederacy. You can actually make it through with only 25 losses on you side and around 80 kills each quite easily. My friend and I used to sit and play it for about an hour. Once you have all the command posts done, you can come in from either side and fire rockets into the clone's main command post.

probably this one:

round at my mates, playing cod4 on his ps3 (the television studio level I think?) I got down to sudden death, 240-240 at the end of the game. There was me, one other person on my team versus 6-7 people on the other side, so I did what any right-minded gamer would do. Pulled the pin out of a grenade, ran into their respawn point and KABOOOM'ed on their asses. Killed all but one who was last standed, and my teammate just fragged him round the corner.

...mind you, I've got one from splinter cell 1 that qualifies as well I suppose...
The level where you first learn to rappel and land in the kitchens (forget what it's called) you aren't allowed to kill anyone. I snuck through the kitchens, KO'd two cooks and then turned to see a guard running towards an alarm. I had already triggered two, so if he made it it was mission over. There was a camera on the door, I was supposed to take the long way around through the vents, but that would have taken too long... anyway, this guy reaches for the alarm just as I see a bottle on the table in the kitchen. I pick it up, throw it at him to get his attention. It worked, but not how I hoped, as I watched it sail over and hit him square in the side of the head, knocking him unconscious.

Also, later in the level I'm meant to be getting picked up in some van, but a security guard is talking to the driver (the courtyard is lit up- I couldn't sneak across). I'd spent all my shockers on other guards, and I was standing on a second floor roof 15 feet away from him. I take a run up, land squarely on his head, knocking him out and triggering the cutscene at the end of the mission... just as well, being as I'd just lost the last bit of health that I had (I actually hit the ground, started to keel over and the CS triggered... best timing EVAR)

Ungh, don't remind me.

Those damn Russians that can see past the darkness, tall grass, bails of hay, tall fence, and a stream while proned and all of a sudden start attacking me when I cross an imaginary line are the worst.

In Halo 3, My friend (mind you she's pretty slow at games) and I were playing Grifball on Halo 3. We were up against 3 Generals and a Brigadier, my other female friend basically said "were screwed".

Well luckily I managed to grab the bomb before the Generals, and i don't even know how to describe this.... My friend got a killionare (thats 9 kills in a row) with the gravity hammer, I just stood there with the bomb and didnt bother arming it until she was done her spree. I asked her " What are you made of?!?!?!" she replied " F*CKIN STEEL!!"

At the end of the game the Generals left right away, way too embarassed to face us. We wanted to say sooo badly "You just got ass-pwned by 2 girls!!"

TF2, as a spy I had 12 HP, was discovered while cloaked and disguised. I let loose a thousand knife jabs at everyone while i lived, and I'm not sure how it happened, but I actually broke away from the fight and lived while getting 3 kills. To this day I'm still not sure how the f*** I managed that...

Gears of War

Survived a whole match and won it using only the chainsaw gun with the chainsaw reared up.

Most of my suicidal moments are in Medieval 2: Total War.

I'll never forget when one of my castles were under seige and I was outnumbered by about 2,000 troops, but I had to make sure that my heir to the throne survived.

Instead of telling you how the battle went, I'll just tell you the remaining casualties.

The opposing team had about, 5 pikemen left....of an army that had about 2,000 more troops than I did (I had about 600), and damnit I would have had more men left over if it wasn't for that last pikemen group being able to slaughter my cavalry (thanks to STUPID AI, but don't worry, I exploited their's too) with relative ease..

So anyway, I've used my army of 600 to trample an army of 2,500 who had all sorts of seige equipment at the ready - but how many people did I have left by the end?

Spoiler

1...the generel/heir to the throne was the last survivor. Of all those 600 soldiers, the most important one survives, and everyone else dies a horrible agonizing death. I think the guy died about 3 turns later, don't remember if it was a battle or assassination, but I remember not having any control over it.

-----

Also, in Dawn of War, I swear those Tau and Guardsmen can hold off anything - lots of Epic defenses with those two armies in that game - I've had so many moments where not pressing "Menu --> Quit" would have been a bad idea, and then survived because of it.

In Mercenaries, something fun to do is to drop a fuel air bomb on yourself....AND SURVIVE (with about 1-3 HP on your health meter) - seeing the destruction around you makes you feel like you are a God among man.

Oh yeah and in RE4, a few yellow herbs later and you've got a "Martyr Simmulator".

 

[CPU3]

oh, i just remembered another one, Dawn of war online, a game of assassination, i was eldar, the enemy were space marines, i'd hidden my farseer in cloaked webway gates all around the map, then the Space Marine's OBLITERATE my base, so im left with just a farseer that they're never gonna find, and no requisition, so i make him leave the webway gate and charge theyre base, when i see theyre commander, i use mind war on him, then ran over and killed him, whilst theyre army was off looking for me!

WoW. Zul Farrack. The Stairs. LEEEEERROOOOOOY JEEEENKINS!!!
Somehow, we didn't wipe.

Medieval: total war. Besieging a settlement with a LOT fewer (something like 200 against 800) men than I should have, re-enforcements only about a day's ride away. My corps was mostly archers and peasant *fairly early in the game still* whilst mine foe had heavy cav and upgraded pikes. So, as I wait for my re-enforcements, he rides out and engages. With some FAST thinking, somehow managed to COMPLETELY rout them AND take the city. F*CKING WIN.

Running out of ammo in Ravenholm on HARD and having to beat down TWO fast headcrab zombies with the CROWBAR with only 15-25 hp left. *RUN BACKWARDS, HIT THEM RIGHT AFTER THEY ATTACK*

]You can kill people with flashbangs? Wow...

Yeah, just throw it at them and so long as they are damaged and the grenade actually makes contact, it can kill 'em.

Halo 3, One Flag CTF, Avalanche. The other team have 1 point, we have 2. 30 seconds to go, they have our flag and are taking it back to their base to make it a draw. I get in the Banshee, do a barrel roll through the middle passageway (I only got through by pure luck - you have to be at 90 degrees to make it through) and I see their Hornet flying to their base. I open fire, but realise it won't work. When all that they need to do is jump out and the game will be a draw, I boost straight towards them and bail at the last second. I get a triple kill splatter as they both explode above my head. Game over, win to us.

Warcraft 3.

A friend of mine played a match as Night elf. He uprooted his Ancient of Life and began eating the trees around his base. He dug himself a tunnel deep inside a forest, detonated all his wisp and then just sat there.

After like twenty minutes, his opponent asked "Where are you?", followed by "WTF?"

Ten minutes later, he dropped. Best win ever.

Me playing pretty much any game type on Halo 3. I suck at FPS, but I play for fun. I ended up going 3-1 against these high ranking officers. 25 splatter kills FTW.

CoD4: the TV room in Charlie don't Surf on veteran...
After getting pissed off that normal tactics didn't work the first 17 times i decided to try something...."different": I picked up the shotgun at the entrance and charged straight down the right side dropping claymores and flinging flashbangs/frags wildly + blasting in the general directions of the enemy spawnpoint. Eventually i found myself in one of those little booths, with an empty shotgun. I start to reload but i get a "premonition" and switch to my secondary, which I immediately realize isn't the M4 i was expecting but one of those little Ak-74U things(must have grabbed it by accident) Sure enough a baddie comes around the door of the booth (i was prone)Due to magic, his head occupies the same space as my crosshair the moment he rounds the bend. Guess the outcome. Anyway, after reloading my shotgun i lob my last grenade into the hallway spawn and go inside, clearing it. My allies finished the rest. After that i just sorta.... paused the game and sat there for a couple minutes... i was awed.
