In bad company 1, a rocket hit my chopper. With the little control I had left, I pushed my chopper in the general direction of the rocket firer and (with a lot of luck) landed it on his head. Then blew up and died.

ahh, the many epic deaths I have had over the years...
those call of duty moments where you walk round the corner only to see 4 enemies, spray horribly, and then die failing to kill anyone.
Or Left 4 Dead, when you are making a dash to the safe house to win the level but then get a surprise tank around the corner, which then slaps you of a cliff.
Fallout 3, firing the MIRV directly up in the air, thinking it would land in the distance, only for it to land on your face, sending you flying to infinity and beyond.
And those HOLY CRAP A BEAR!! moments on Red Dead Redemption which leave you stunned for a good couple of minutes.
good times... good times

BLU Spire, gravelpit, RED soldier V BLU demoman (Im the soldier)
We kept nibbling at each others health with splash damage, then he and I at the same time, launch each other into the air.
He smacks straight into me and I instinctively fired a rocket at him, he explodes into giblets, and I almost fall to my death, but a medic arrives in the nick of time.
The demoman raaaaaaaaged

Kingdom Hearts 368/2 Days:
I'm in Halloween Town, and am standing on a rock on the ground when suddenly an enemy hits me. Roxas recoils a bit, and falls THROUGH THE ROCK and then THROUGH THE GROUND. Suddenly I'm in an empty black void for a few moments, try to run around a bit, and am instantly killed by some mysterious force.
Awesome death.

Most Epic Death: I was play Team DM on RF:G and I was kicking some major ass on a roof on Crash Site. Well I was getting cocky and pissed my teammates off, who then shortly stopped backing me up. Almost the entire Enemy team made it to my spot and started dismantling the building below me, and as it came crashing down I detonated my pre-placed remote charges, thus killing myself and 3 of the enemy.
Most Epic Kill: I've made my own personal tag on TF2 that is in the shape of those yellow and black warning signs and it reads "WARNING: If you can read this then it's too late...look behind you." I'll often place it just past a doorway that I have remote-mined or I'll stealth and wait. Well this particular instance was the former scenario and I waited in a little hidey-hole for some unfortunate sap to stop and read it. A pyro came by, read it, turned around, and saw my little "surprise". He Started Running and I blew him to kingdom come.

GTA 4. Just getting used to the controls when the car steered into a tree. Niko's gone flying out the windshield, while I'm thinking "Oh, he'll be right." He flew over the cliff on the side of the road, and looked clear to landing in the water.
Out of nowhere, a rock popped up and damn near took his head off, sending Niko into a ragdoll spin, and myself into hysterical laughter. In real life, the head would have probably separated and gone the opposite direction.

Grand Theft Auto Vice City
There's this one gun runner quest near the end of that chain where you get chased by a bunch of guys on faggio mopeds.
I got pinned on top of a roof by them and started picking them off as they rode up, which created a nice pile of moped in the street, I decided to stay on top of the building and pick them off as they respawned and chased me down. Evnetually the street was piled with mopeds. I waited till they respawned and came back, then I walked to the edge of the building, tossed a molotov and set the whole thing on fire. The mopeds quickly exploded in a gigantic fireball as big as half a block, fireballs, smoke, and flying charred and flaming mopeds whipping through the air every place.
It was awesome, and then one of the moped slammed me dead center and killed me.
Then it was more awesome.

You do realize there is some kind of auto lock on thing when you throw one of those right? the number of times i`ve killed someone because they threw a propane tank in the middle of a firefight is ridiculous.As for mine it`d have to be Kane and lynch 2 as well another PC killed me by hitting me in the face with a gas tank ,he didn`t shoot it , just threw it , oddest insta kill i`ve seen in a whileSteinFaust said:
Freespace 2 - Was (stupidly) flying between two cap-ships firing upon each other with the big green lasers, saw a weak fighter and shot 4 Hornets at it. Hear the charging of a BFG from one of the cap-ships and afterburner forward to avoid it, nearly run into the fighter from earlier, and my 4 Hornets rocket me up the behind and kill me.
Simultaneously facepalming and awesome.

RDR, i was just chilling, checking out the area around Fort Mercer, it was pretty peaceful. All of a sudden, a cougar leaps out of nowhere, knocks me down, and begins to circle around me. I pulled out my double barrel and unloaded both rounds in its face. I proceeded to skin said beast. I felt pretty good, because that was my first encounter with the big bad kitty. My celebrating was short lived. Another cougar pounces, knocking me down yet again. I attempted to get back up, but a wolf pops out of thin air, and finishes me off. My jaw just dropped. I was utterly confused because i thought cats and dogs generally hated each other. I guess that they both hated John Marston enough to work together.
Epic Death: Considering I don't play much this is the best one I have. It's one situation in League of Legends where you find a half health player alone in the woods. Naturally you try to steal this chance and kill him, only to find that the other four enemy champions were on their way/hiding in a nearby bush. The result is a complete and total instanuke.
Epic Kill: Far better than my epic death. I was playing CoD2 (No, not MW2, just CoD2.) and I'm playing on Carentan. I run up to a window and toss a grenade in. God Almighty, I just got 8 kills with one grenade. Apparently the enemy team was spawning there and they were all camping inside that house. After a few seconds I die, and respawn. I figure what the hell, and go throw a nade in the same exact spot as before.
Bang. 8 more kills. Boo-fuckin'-Yah. 16 kills with two grenades in less than thirty seconds.
Best. Game. Ever.

I was playing Unreal Tournament years ago, and it was the first time I had ever played online. I ran around to look for people to kill, but before I could spot them they'd jump out of some rafters and place six rockets perfectly at my feet. That happened for the whole match until I realized that I was the only one running around, and they were all just camping in wait.
The first time I got a care package in MW2 I stood in the red smoke. That was dumb too.

Don't know about best, but this one just came to mind when I saw the topic.
I'm playing Halo 3:ODST on Legendary, and I was just thinking about how different it was playing as the ODST Rookie, as opposed to the Master Chief in Halo 1-3 who, let's face it, was an 8 foot tall cyborg, this guy was less a man, and more a monster truck who just happened to walk like a man. This was a pretty powerful dude.
The Rookie on the other hand you spend most of his levels, completely alone, with not a whole lot of firepower, and esp on legendary, just trying not to die.
So I did a ton of sneaking around, and I got my hands on a Mongoose ATV. Thought maybe that could give me a bit of an edge with the Brutes the next time I had one I didn't want to fight straight up. So I get cornered, line it up, and go head on one with one. Likely if it had been ANY other difficulty, I'd have pancaked the bastard, I mean I had him dead to rights.
But, this was on Legendary.
So the Brute ran THROUGH me and the Mongoose, and I wound up with my spine wrapped around a very inconveniently placed lamppost.
Never even saw which way was up before he came back around and killed me for good.
Brutal and borderline painful to watch? Absolutely.
And it was awesome.

Team Fortress 2. I was playing as a BLU Soldier in the map "Egypt" and we just lost. Luckily I was holding an Equalizer at the time, which enabled the holder to blow himself up with grenades. I decided to do that rather than let the other team humiliate me and killing me. Just as I was about to blow myself up, a Demoman ran up to me.
KA-BOOM to both of us.

My greatest multiplayer moment came with Alien versus Predator 2 (PC).
I was playing as a Predator, and I kinda was in the Zone. The other 5-6 players at that match were pissed off at me and decided to go all marine and started hunting me.
It was incredible. I kept prowling around them with my cloak on, and taking them with well placed grenades, homing-disks and spear guns and inmmediatly vanish from their sight. I was truly reliving the Predator movie myself.
Oh, they killed me alright but my frag count was WAY higher because I was the only opponent they had and they always went together so that mean dying once for every 10 times I killed someone . So each of my deaths felt epic. You know, just like in the movie.
