Mine was a "Sticky Hug" kill in HALO 2. My brothers and some friends were playing against each other, but I totally sucked(still do). Any time I'd go for a kill, I'd get gunned down. Well, one time I got hit with a sticky and just decided to run up on whoever was around the corner so I could get shot instead of blown up. Problem for my buddy was, he was reloading, so what ended up happening was, I ran straight up to him and since he was dual-wielding pistols, it looked like I had stopped by for a hug right when I exploded.

Being killed in one second by Veigar in League of Legends when I was carrying our team with my awesome mage skills.
2k HP to zero in one second
I literally sat stunned and was wtf...
That was the first time anyway
Now I just swear at the midget when I see him
Edit: Oh and one time in COD4:2
Playing it at a friends and no-one is nearby and the UAV shows they are on the next building
I die
Me and my mate are like WTF?
Killcam: My ally on the other building goes to throw a grenade but gets shot by an enemy over on ANOTHER building half the map away from me
The grenade drops out of my allies hand bounces off the edge and blows up above my head instantly killing me
Me and my mate still wtf about that today it was rather unreal

It must've been the early days of competitive TF2. The rules for class limits were not yet set. I regard myself as tactically minded and our team had quite a few wins with a strong setup for every map.
We played a team on well and we had just kicked their asses on the previous map. The doors open and we rush in... noone there! Oblivious our whole team starts capping, expecting the team to have foolishly dug in with sentries or something similar. While we are halfway to the next point, suddenly the announcer shouts "our point is being captured!". The whole enemy team had been waiting in the water and proceeded to cap all points before we could even kill ourselves and respawn. I had just been introduced to the backcap...

Playing TF2, as soldier. I shoot off three rockets at a pyro running up some stairs at me. He dodges the first, and jumps off the blast on the ground of the second, and reflects the third into my face while he's in the air, before pulling out his shotgun to finish me.
Mine was in CoD MW2.
Normal Team Deathmatch game in Bailout, and the enemy team was holed up in and around the gym at one end of the level. After a few lives of trying to storm their position by conventional means, I decided it was time to break out my 'Crowd Control' class (Riot shield and Spas-12). Approaching from the raised walkway coming from the rec room I advanced towards their position, and the three enemy team members guarding this approach immediately backed away from me into the gym, emptying magazine after magazine into my riot shield. When I had them backed into the top floor of the gym, I charged with my shield (knowing I couldn't take them all but secure in the knowledge that two of my teammates were behind me to finish them off while I would be waiting to respawn).
The three enemies who had retreated at my initial advance now all leaped on me, knives flashing. Somehow I managed to block all three attacks with my shield, and even floored one of my attackers, before *BOOM* - a headshot from the fourth enemy I didn't even know was there, crouched in one of the top floor corners with a shotgun. The killcam replayed my character charging into a whirling storm of blades, turning aside blade after blade, before finally being taken down by a 12-gauge to the side of the head.
The fight had looked good from my perspective, but from the perspective of my killer it looked awesome beyond belief.

The most insane death I've had, me and a friend, who has a way of always getting good at games really fast, was playing 1v1 on Valhalla in Halo 3 right after launch. After a while, I was no longer able to tell where he was, and knowing him like I do, I went out into the open, to cover as many angles as possible. I kept looking behind me, left, right, just spinning, trying to get a glimpse of him. And all of a sudden, he assassinated me. I am still unable to tell how he pulled it off, 3 years later.
Me most epic kill would have to be in Frontlines Fuel of War, where we were playing on ths assymetrical night-map where the attackers started at a bas covered by a mountain top, with a bunch of helicopters, while the defenders were dug into the small town-base.
One of the points of capture was a generator that had to be destroyed, either by weapons or placing a explosive charge on it.
As I was flying(alone in the chopper) towards it and shooting at the generator, I suddenly saw a big flash, and a smoke trail coming right towards me. Realizing that I've got a homing rocket to deal with, I quickly jump out of the chopper, which is blown into a fireball of debris and hull the moment I leave it, and deploy my chute, watching the momentum of my chopper carry it towards the generator, hitting it, blowing it up, and killing 3 defenders.
So awesome.

Unreal Tournament (99)
a teammate gave me an impact hammer boost (basically he launched me to fly through half the map)when i got hit midair by a pack of rocketlauncher nades. Those of you who know UT1 will know how *wow* that is.
On the other end of the spectrum..
I played Global Agenda as a sniper with basically paper for armor. I had a medic behind me and it was us against 7 people. However they completely ignored the medic and tought they could bring me down with brute force.. By the time the medic had used up all his healing skills and he just used the normal healing ray I had killed enough of them for him to keep me alive with just that and let me finish off the others^^
o yea, i forgot, i was sniping in melee range..

All of these happened when bro and I were playing RE5.
We were at the part right before the 1st fight w/ Wesker. Next thing I know my bro eats a rotten egg which sends him into the "dying" state. It was so stupid I refused to heal him.
Same part. My bro is up on the balcony fighting a Licker. I look through my scope and say out loud "Aren't there supposed to be two up there?" As soon as I finish the sentence, said missing Licker owns me from behind.
Same part again. My bro and I were trapped in the building with the bridge controls trying to eliminate the horde of Lickers. My bro gets pinned for an insta-kill and I can't help him because I've got a Licker's tongue through my shoulder.
Different part. My bro was walking on a conveyor belt with people throwing dynamite at him from above. I tell him "It's ok, I sniped them out." A few moments later he gets blown up. My bro rages and says "I thought you said you killed all the dynamite guys!" I grin nervously and say "I did. That was me that blew you up!" (I had accidentally shot a red gas tank).

Halo: Combat evolved. Getting run over by your own warthog isn't fun 
It was single player campaign, that one island mission early on (I think it's the 4th). I had brought a warthog into the building. I quickly drove it down a all, down an ramp, and around a corner, jumping out after launching it towards the door in the hope of jamming it open so I could skip some backtracking. I stupidly throw a grenade, causing the warthog to launch back at me and crush me.
I still have a screenshot of the Master Chief lying under that hog somewhere on my hard drive

My most memorable death was on COD:MW2 on crash. I had just been killed by an enemy after killing one of his teammates, as often happens to me in most matches I'm in. When suddenly instead of re spawning, I get launched through a wall as a corpse, and three members of my team light up the chat. Turns out I spawned just as my teammates care package hit the ground killing me before I could spawn.
Ironically enough, during this same match I killed an enemy with a care package of my own on top of the bike shop. Drop my smoke flare as the enemy comes running up the stairs killing me and a teammate just as the package falls ricochets off of the air vent running him over. Too bad it wasn't the killing blow, score was at 7300 before the package killed him, followed by a sniper shot from the three story rooftop to end the game with a Victory.

yeah i know about the auto-aim; developers couldnt possibly assume the average gamer had the skill to shoot a tank in mid air, could they?timmytom1 said:
i just had to throw it because both my guns were dry, there was no time to reload, and we were both on the SAME corner. i mean, it was a damn L-bend, and we were both right there! he popped out and i whipped it at him! it couldnt have even had time to auto aim because i'm sure it was close enough to him that he could have just hit it with the first round to come out of the barrel.
go to the supermarket in Jury Street in Fallout 3. someone has a nice rube goldberg machine you'd like.rossable said:
I was playing Sandtrap on Halo 3. I was bunny hopping straight through the middle corridor thingy in one of the pyrimad tower buildings, when my friend fired a rocket straight ahead.Still jumping, I thought I was invincible, until I was about to go out over the edge, and the rocket blew me up. Complete luck, yet my jaw had just dropped.
My best death: I was messing around in Fallout 3, so I went to the top of Tenpenny Tower. Holding the MIRV, I jumped over the ledge, and just before I hit the ground, I fired. My gibs flew across the map, and triggered the Firelance event.
I was playing Just Cause 2 a few weeks ago. A simple bombing of a propaganda tank went strangely awry and I ended up getting pursued by three military helicopters, at minimal health and on foot. This merry little chase lasted for about ten to fifteen minutes, as I was in unfamiliar territory and, since I was running in that general direction, I decided that exploration took priority over retaliation. To my display, every since location I ran across was a military base. By the third base, I realized: "Oh yeah, military bases have med kits inside them. This may be brazen, but if I can heal up in there, I can launch a more effective counterattack." I manage to avoid enemy fire and snatched up the med kit...
And as soon as I did, I got blasted by a helicopter missile, flinging me into the base's courtyard and exposing me not only to all three helicopters, but all the base's grunts and a few automated turrets. I was dead before I could even stand up again. I quote my reaction: "Oh goodness. Oooooooh goodness. Yes. Yes, I have been thoroughly, thoroughly pwned."

Modern Warfare 2...
I had been playing a match in Invasion, and had just got done with an AC-130 spree fueled by a particularly lucky Emergency Airdrop I had called in. I had managed to rack up about 17 kills by the time it was over, and the other team was obviously ticked off, to say the least. So I see a signal for a Predator Missile coming in, and raise my Riot Shield to block it. Somehow - I'm not quite sure *how* exactly - it hit my shield, and I survived. I was hurt, sure, but I felt great.
And then somebody threw a Stun Grenade at me, hit me with it, and killed me. As the last kill of the match.
Let me put it in clear, unambiguous terms:
I blocked a missile...with my Riot Shield...and I was the victim of the Game Winning KillCam...via Stun Grenade.
That...was humbling, though in retrospect, I should have seen that coming.
