Personal moments of badassery go!

[Ziame]

Warband:Napoleonic Wars. Siege, about 100 players, so quite a crowd there. I am one of the defenders. I am in position by the bridge, behind it a big gateway building.

Canister shot tears through our guys. I decide to stay hidden.

then, the enemy idiots pull in a CANNON... right into the gateway. I yell on the chat "Fire the canister into gateway". Cannoneers and musketeers fall. "Bring me an artillery train and a cannoneer to gateway, ASAP". They're like, OK, they don't know about the cannon.

But there goes reinforcements, to retake the cannon. Artillery guy on a horse with carriage, four musketeers. I hide behind the cannon like a coward I am. By now most of our team is busy with breach in the back. I take a shot, and kill the artillery guy. Musketeers shoot, but fail miserably to hit me; they go in for a bayonet charge. And there I am, alone, fencing off four opponents. I stab the closest in the face, dodge second's attack, and drill through the stomach of third's who's closing in. Second guy attacks me, I parry; I hear the 'attack yell', and quickly turn around, stabbing the fourth guy in the chest. I turn around to the last guy and realise I have the wrong block, so I will die. And right in this moment I hear a blast: their cannon took a shot for me... hitting the guy attacking me.

Another guys are already inbound, so I get ready to proceed to da stabbage. As I ducked to take their charge, my guys blast through, make a circle around me and proceed to escort me out. I felt like a fucking boss.

To clarify: killing multiple opponents with bayonet is quite easy actually: the way it looks to outside matters. Angel of death.

Me and my mate used to play Vs on Ace Combat 4 all the time... like seriously all the time!

We used to do this thing choosing a random plane: we would close our eyes and just hold down left or right for a minute or so, and then just letting go and that was the plane we should use. Of course trying to get one of the best planes was risky (ie getting used to the timings) and often you could get one of the worst instead...

One particular time my mate had managed to select the F-22... a generation 5 advanced jet... and I was scrolling through, eyes shut, when he said 'stop'... I jumped and did... and found myself being trolled into selecting the F-4... an ancient crap jet that was the default plane in the game... there was no chance I could win!

We were playing first to 5 kills, and when the match started within a min I had died twice... Drastic action was needed, so when I spawned the first time I dove to near ground level and flew towards the city on the map... I knew his actual handling skill couldn't match mine, and in my small slow aircraft navigating round the city was easier than I thought!

It worked... I got 4 'kills' on him, just from him trying to get me in the city... eventually he worked a new tactic, flying high and dive bombing me... this meant he got a good view of me in the city, and he didn't have to enter... he balanced the score 4-4, sudden death!

He was using the Quick Air-Air Missile, a very short range but very capable missile that was near impossible to dodge (although I had dodged a few through the buildings, my only chance!) and I only had the standard missiles to counter. I knew he had to dive into range, and that is an obvious flight profile, so what I did was waited until he was near in my range, pulled up out of the buildings, locked and fired before I was in his range, and then turned off and fled back to the city to dodge his retalliation. He was so desperate to win that he didn't bother evading my attack and was hit there and then...

Adn that is how I beat an F-22 with and F-4!!

I have lots, the problem is actually recording them or having evidence.

Spoiler: audiosurf

That was one of my audiosurf playthroughs where I spent toooo long passing a song. I consider that a fairly easy song, but recording it makes ever so slight lag that makes it hard to do the crazy end parts. 4:40 is when my first fuckup occurs and I do my editing trickery to show the final playthrough

seriously... audiosurf is so fun... I'm gonna play it now.

I immediately went and raged on their forums and got the replies of:

Firstly coming on here abusing us won't get you anywhere.

I banned you.

29% average accuracy across all the guns in that round..... unbelievable.

It wasn't a snap decision after being beaten, I was monitoring it from the start. You had an amazing way of actually finding the enemy for a start, let alone coming out on top over 90% of the time at the point I last saw.

I couldn't find half that many enemy in that time, let alone hope to run that kind of kdr, even with my favourite weapon.

You might be able to fool punkbuster, but I know bullshit when I see it.

see your bullshit stats here:

I lol so hard.

Playing TF2 KOTH on Nucleus(Because everybody ALWAYS votes for it) as spy and it's a double overtime with the other team in control. The slider is nearly gone so as a last resort I pull out my ambassador. Headshotted a soldier, headshotted a pyro and then backstabbed a heavy and held off a few more with some panic shots. I felt pretty badass.

OH ALMOST FORGOT.

Playing Fallout NV when I first run into Vulpes Inculta in Nipton. I'm playing hardcore mode and I'm in terrible shape from the booby trapped house. Crippled arms, legs, torso and head. I see the citizens and gang members on the crosses. I can't let this go unpunished. I pull out my grenade launcher and lob a grenade into the group. Two of his men go down and Vulpes is left with a crippled leg. he starts charging me. I take aim and lob my last grenade, but it's blocked by a recruit. I'm out of ammo and I'm desperate. I run to one of the closest corpses and find a ripper. I Pulled it out and and moved towards him. It was a one on one duel with melee weapons. I block his attack and clicked my mouse button as hard as I could sending the ripper into his throat. It was over in about 5 minutes. That had to be one of the greatest non scripted fight I ever had in a videogame.

 

[Surpheal]

Was playing an Acquisition game in MAG on the Valor map, Raven verus SVER with me and Raven attacking. A while into the match we've already taken out most of the bunker line and their anti-air battery, so me and another round of troops come parachuting in. I see a working bunker to the right as I'm falling on a raised part of the map and think "Well now, can't let that thing work", and steered towards its back.

For those who don't know, a MAG bunker is a spawn with a mini gun/ rocket launcher on top that can do a 360, so they are murder machines. The only way to break them is planting a charge in their back and waiting for it to go off. So that is what I do.

I kill a few stragglers, two friendlies come up and help, and then I plant the bomb, which those in the bunker didn't like. Four people come out of the bunker, I get two and my allies get the others but die. I'm at about 20 health and the bunker is about to blow, so I jump down from where the bunker is and get to healing myself. Just as the bunker cooks off and blows sky high.

So I'm playing Dragon Quest IX by myself, and I'm training my Fisticuffs skills in the Tower of Nod (not CC-related at all, btw). At one point, I get ambushed by a Killing Machine, which look a little something like this:

So anyway, since it ambushed me, it got a free turn, which it spent by using its crossbow to fire an arrow at me. However, I had this special item on me that gives me a very small chance of countering any non-magical attack, which then activated and countered the arrow, killing the, er, Killing Machine with a critical hit.

Did I mention that the counterattack animation for Fisticuffs is a right hook?

Or that the closest thing I had to hand protection were bracers around my wrists?

Surprisingly, it took me a few seconds to realise that I had just DEFLECTED AN ARROW by PUNCHING IT with my BARE DAMN HANDS, straight back into the ROBOT that fired it, KILLING IT IN A SINGLE BLOW.

AND I DIDN'T IMPUT A SINGLE DAMN COMMAND.

TF2 last night went Samurai sword demo knight, Dust bowl first leg on attacking side 5 people spawn camping us.

Charge up the ramp 1 shot the medic, turn around and crit the solider and proceede to kill him, take out a scout with another swing, then a pyro and finally another sword demo man.

I felt like a god.

To put it into context with this setup i have 200hp 50% fire and explosion resistance and when i kill someone with the sword i get full HP. Oh and your right click charges you forward and the further the go the more damage/crit you do x)

I got half way through I Wanna Be the Guy - The Movie: The Game without dying.

In days of yore, when glory was all that mattered on the battlefield, I played Halo multiplayer on the PC. How different those days were, back when I was an experienced veteran after honing myself in Red Faction multiplayer. Oh to be fourteen again.

Anyway. There were two such moments, one during a Slayer match and one during Capture the Flag.

Spoiler: Slayer

I'd grabbed one of the bullet warthogs and parked in a corner of Blood Gulch. I was sitting in the gun turret and shooting at anything I could see, no matter how far away it was. Suddenly, my HUD indicated that I took two hits. Purely on reflex, I turned the turret towards where the hits were coming from, saw someone camouflaged with an assault rifle standing right behind the warthog, and fired the turret point-blank at his head.

After he went down and I turned the turret back to face the rest of the canyon, he sent a message over the general chat, "...wow."

Spoiler: Capture the Flag

I was on Red team in Blood Gulch. When I entered, the match had been going on for a while and was more-or-less a stalemate. Most of my comrades and the blues were just running independently towards the other base and killing each other in no-man's land. At first, I stuck around Red base and sniped any Blues who entered my sights. But I grew tired of the lack of captures, and time was running out.

I grabbed one of the bullet warthogs and told the Reds I was making a break for Blue base. Two of my fellows hopped in.

Instead of driving straight through no-man's land, I drove along the bottom of the canyon wall and around the rear of the base. The Blues weren't paying attention. I parked the warthog with the passenger seat blocking their rear door. The Red riding shotgun caught on and immediately hopped out. A minute later, I heard gunshots within the base, but my comrade returned with the flag. As soon as he started climbing in, I floored it.

There was no point in driving around no-man's land this time. I went straight into it. Bullets and rockets flew at us from behind. My gunner shot at anything he could as I weaved and dodged, sticking to lower terrain so the hills behind us could provide cover. We made it back to Red base, and I parked the warthog at the front door in the same way I'd parked it at Blue base. The flag-bearing Red went inside and made the capture.

With Red team now in the lead and only about a minute of the match left, my comrades and I hunkered down and focused on defending the base. No Blues were even able to get close, and we won.

During the post-battle screen, the flag-bearer asked who it was who'd been driving the warthog. I told him it was me. His reply: "You were awesome."

Me and my team mates were on DayZ a couple days ago.. here is the story.

Ok, so we were in berezino (Since we live there ) my team mate Simon says he hears a vehicle, and he was right, it was the big blue truck (Best vehicle on DayZ that can slam through trees n stuff, it's fuckin invincible nearly). So yeah we literally didn't give a crap about the zombies, we just wanted the truck, we legged it over to where these 2 idiots were (They were honking the horn near a hospital) and in a mad rush I said "fuck it" and just started blasting the crap out of the truck. I took out 2 of the wheels and got one the guys who was sitting in the back. Simon took out the driver shortly after since he was stuck with the broken wheels. We looted their bodies and took the truck back to base once we acquired 2 wheels from the surroundings.

That was the most fun I've EVER had in any gaming experience EVER!

 

[Exius Xavarus]

I was trying out The Conduit's online features when it was new, and some assclown decided to keep hitting me with flash grenades. Targeted me specifically, and always with flash grenades, but he never did kill me. Then I decided I'd had enough, and the last time he hit me with a flash, I shot him and two other people in the face with a shotgun while I was blind. And I still didn't get killed.

I also shot a rat in the face with a fireball and launched it across the room and killed it instantly in the intro to Oblivion, just as it was leaping at me and just as it was literally less than a foot from my own face. I felt pretty badass for a while there.

 

[CaptainMarvelous]

Hmmm, beating Demon Wall in Temple of the Ancients with just Aeris in FF7.

Pretty much any combo in Arkham City but personal favourite, knocked a guy into a corner and started doing the pummelling animation, pressed counter as a guy came from behind and Batman just pauses, grabs the guy who's attacking him by the face, throws him scalp first into a wall that knocks him out and gets right back to punching. Most badass thing I've barely been involved in ever.

Other than that... Infinite combo on Shadow Hearts Covenant, hit the Final Boss with an Eternal key and got it right over and over, it looked like Fist of the motherf*cking North Star with Yuri he just beat Susano-o to death with a ridiculously high combo, I can't even remember how high it was low hundreds or something. Just felt so good...

 

[lRookiel]

I once walked into a village in ArmA 2: OA. after I made a bit of a quick turn I met some 3 bandits and I was fully exposed. I somehow managed to go to a walk, not even stopping for a second, shoot them all down, and just continue with the mission without stopping at all.
Felt good.

Me and my team mates were on DayZ a couple days ago.. here is the story.

You sound like a bunch of assholes. They weren't even a threat to you guys.

Without us "Assholes" Day Z would be boring as hell and you know it

 

[Vegosiux]

Hmm. Every time I rogue tanked a WoW boss a minute into enrage cause we failed on the timer.

My first Yogg+0 25man kill, badass moment of the entire brain team, we cleaned up the tentacles in all three visions within 6 seconds of portals opening - still in the Ulduar patch, mind, no zerg with Icecrown gear.

"Any time, fly girl". On hard, pacifist run.

Hey, even I have 2 LoL stories. Winning 4v5, once as Katarina, once as Gangplank (though I had a badass Irelia and a badass Warvick on my teams respectively so I can't take all the credit).

Letting my companions both betray me at the end of NWN: HoTU and not using Mephistopheles' true name, winning that fight.

Completing fuckin' Durlag's tower. And the Demogorgon hard ToB mod. Though you could heavily abuse the thief mechanics in BG2...

Spoiler: the long version

So in the third chapter of the no mercy campaign in left 4 dead 2 there is a part where you have to call an elevator and than hold your ground until it arrives. Because apparently moving elevators attract hordes of zombies. Once it arrives you get into it ASAP and close it so you're safe.
The usual tactic is to press the elevator button, than sprint to a very defencible room at the other end of the hallway. Than just hole up in there until the hordes stop coming and than stroll back to the elevator through the same hallway. Funnily enough said hallway kinda looks like the one in the matrix lobby shootout. Because it leads right up to an elevator and it has pillars on both sides. Why is that important? Read on...

So me and some mates were on this exact part in versus mode. Which means the special zombies are controlled by human players which makes them 100 times more dangerous than if they are AI controlled.
We decide to go with the usual tactic but since most of them were already on low hp the whole "sprint to the defencible room" - part didnt quite work out. Long story short: it ends with me as the last man alive, in the defencible room. And my mates' corpses randomly spread out across said hallway.
As anyone who knows anything about left 4 dead will tell you, this is an extremely dire situation as many of the special zombies can grab you and you can't get yourself loose. Only a teammate can save you. So if there are none left alive it means you get grabbed once and it's over.
So I hold out in the defencible room and hear the *ping* indicating the elevator has arrived. I check my shotgun and I see I have 5 shots left. The nearest ammo refill is back at the elevator... I than proceeded to perform what is to this day known as "the matrix maneuvre" to my mates. Remember this scene? That's pretty much what I did. I narrowly dodged all the special infected jumping at me by using the pillars for cover and smacking them with my guns. I also did not reload once. Whenever my gun was empty I would just drop it and immediatly pick up another one from the nearest corpse, never letting go of the fire button. I made it to the elevator in about 15 seconds and in that time I killed 5 special infected using 7 different weapons: shotguns, machineguns, handguns, uzi's and even a katana at some point. My mates were going apeshit over voicechat ^^

TLDR version: I was the last man alive in a competitive game of l4d2 and I spontaneously reenacted the lobby shootout fron the first matrix movie by picking up the weapons of the corpses of my dead teammates instead of reloading.

 

[MercurySteam]

Whenever I plan a complicated tactic in an RTS and it actually pays off I feel like such a BOWSE.

 

[kommando367]

I was playing Uncharted 3 and I was hanging on a ledge. This guy jumped over me onto a platform and I immediately turned around and shot him in the head.

Another time, I was playing Skyrim. I put my warhammer around a guy's head and headbutted him him so hard that he flew forward 10-15 feet behind me over the side of Gallow's Rock.
