Possibly in Bad Company 2. If you thought it was impossible to get road killed, in the air, by a helicopter, the one you just jumped out of, you are wrong sir.

Can't think of an epic death but my best kill was in red dead redemption. I got set upon by a pack of wolves whilst i was hunting a deer on foot. One of them clamped onto my arm and as I shook it off it knocked into another wolf and they both slid straight infront of a train :)

an epic death? i cant beleive no ones brought this one up yet, ahh but alas, this game maaaay be a bit too old for you all..

let me set the story.

the setting: school's reasource room, computer at the back corner with headphones.
the game :scorched earth
the death: im playing against 8 guys, all useing heavy shields or mag deflectors. i grin smugly and looks at the random set border. its gone yellow with wrap powers. i look to my inventory. 1 deaths head left. i grin to myself, don my rising sun bandana, and with a BONZAI! i fire the muthafugginnuke!!

9 heavy nukes fly along the screen at ma speed. finally planting themselves in a neat row along the screen. takeing everyone out. the funny thing is, theyh all blow up with a funkybomb. and they all seem to hit me, or near me. kind of them giving me a "DAAMMNN YOOOOOU!!!!"

I can't remember my best death, although I am sure that there have been some horrid ones, so instead I bring forth a tale of my epic win.

In COD 4:MW, I killed 8 enemy players with a single frag grenade.

In that game, it was the entire other team, who had congregated together for some reason.

I laughed like a boss.

Probably stars wars battle front 2, when i first played but was more into killing the opponent then taking bases (in game) I thought my AI could handle taking CPUs, but i was wrong, and i wound up at the last CPU (it was on endor, and i was in the bunker) and the enemy was just rushing me. I keep gunning down their men and healing when they walked in, so they just lobbed detonators in while five guys ran in shooting.

To my credit, I took three of those bastards with me before the detonators got me and the other two.

Mine would have to be Left 4 Dead. Was playing with some college buddies when it first came out and got to the last part of the Death Toll campaign and we're running for the boat when a final tank comes out of the woods and smacks me a good 25 ft closer to the docks, but also downs me. With the sheer number of zombies and special infected about I knew I was boned, so I just shouted, "GO ON WITHOUT ME! GO ON WITHOUT ME!" blastin away with with my pistols. My buds make it across and set the docks on fire with a moltov, and we were all just blastin away at the horde of infected until my last few hitpoints vanished and my virtual self sacrifice was completed.

That game had SO many awesome moments the first time through... and I learned to never trust my life with a certain one of my friends in a zombie Apocalypse... Lookin at you Peter...

in mw2, derail. i was under the house in the middle, firing my javelin, when, suddenly, an enemy jumps from the window above me, taking the rocket directly.

Or, one time where an enemy stuck a Semtex to me, i ran towards him and took out 3 enemies with the blast.

GTA IV. My car is on fire, my tires are shot and I'm being chased by the police. I drive full speed, spin, roll out of the car and the thing explodes. My body goes flying into the air, smacks against a wall and is flung off. Then the cops decide to shoot me for good measure...

I have a screencap of me winning a game of Age of Empires 3 against somebody with me as the ottomans. After I conquered the living daylights out of my opponent, I scanned the paused map to look for interesting stuff. What I found was a settler who had been launched into the air by a cannonball. They were hanging there perfectly above the ground, presenting me with an interesting memory.

On Halo 3 I was playing wit my friends on... umm... Narrows?? I think... The one with the Grav lift you use to jump the huge chasm...yeah... anyways!

I was playing on... that map... using the grav lift to jump that huge chasm. I had a sniper rifle equipped and saw my friend on the bridge to my right, so I took aim and fired. After reviewing the footage after the map it turned out that the single bullet I fired in mid air not only narrowly missed my friends head twice, but bounced 4 times in total, the last bounce taking the bullet through MY head...

I still get made fun of for that...

Bad Company 2 - Port Valdez - Rush Defending.

The opposing team is down to their last 4 guys. The Vodnik, loaded with guys (4 I believe), comes haring down the road toward me. I stand my ground.

I draw my RPG and fire. The charge hits the driver square in the face, killing him instantly. The vodnik explodes, cartwheeling into the air. It front flips twice, then crushes me.

Turns out the gunner leapt free at the last second and I didn't get my epic 4-man game ender :(

I could go into depth but I dont think its necessary really. Dead Space, and being killed by a brute. Jesus.. Talk about overkill..

Expert, L4D, No Mercy. Teammates dead, finale. With health in the red, I kill the tank by myself, no fire; dodge 2 smokers and a hunter. The helicopter shows up...I get killed, literally inside of the chopper by some common. Got it on the next try though.

Mine was in CoD:MW2.

I was dual wielding MP5Ks. I spotted an enemy heading down a ramp about 10 meters ahead going down to my left. I made after him. About 10 meters from the ramp he exploded out of it with what I thought was a shotgun.I went from a full run dropping into a crouch hoping to avoid the first Shotgun blast. At the same time I opened up with both guns. Going into a crouch had the side effect of taking my aim lower. My opponent Jumped straight at me at the same time. He cleared the 10 meters in between us practically flying over the stream of bullets as i tried to compensate and bring my cross hairs up. Just as he was about a meter away from me he activated his knife midair and planted it firmly between my eyes insta killing me.

That was the one death that still stands out to me this day.
You know, it's funny, 'casue there was this one time I faced off against this guy dual weilding MP5s, and so I was going down this ramp, opening up with a shotgun. He crouched, and started firing. So I jumped in the air, and cleared the 10 meters with the knife, planting it right between his... wait a sec...

Just kidding... getting back on topic...

So, I was playing Halo 3, and I was chasing this dude through a door shield, and as he ran through it, he bounced a frag off the barrier, dropping my shields. I continued through the shield, and then he was right there with a magnum, and he capped me without even trying. I was a tad bit stunned.

EDIT: One memorable kill I made was on Valhalla (still H3), I saw a fully loaded Warthog driving around the left side of the map. I had a Spartan Laser. I charged and fired. I hit the driver. Not the Hog. The driver. The Warthog was fine. That was one of my favorite kills ever.

Fallout 3. Dicking around after having beaten the game the first time, I found the MIRV. So I sell everything, buy and pillage every mini nuke I can find. I then proceed to walk around the wasteland shooting randomly and blowing every thing up. I got an enclave eyebot on shot. What I didn't know was I did it right next to an enclave outpost. I turn to go another way and get shot from behind. Upon turning around I see four enclave soldiers coming down on me. I shoot the MIRV and run like hell and get all three of them. Going back to what I was doing I fail to hear the vertibird set down and let five tesla armored grunts down. I get hit with plasma rifle from all five and end up flipping as two rounds hit me in the head at the same time.

I try not to die mostly.

I've got a best death and best kill to share though.

Both took place in Halo: Reach.

The death was me using a gravity hammer simply to annoy the other team (it was 4v3 in favour of them, so I n00b'd it up for the game to make it more even). So I ran over to someone, thinking he was afk; hit him with the hammer, BOOM!
He went into Armour Lock. REJECTED!

It was kinda fun.


Best kill was me spawning with an enemy ghost looking straight at me, I didn't move, because I had Armour Lock on. So he took aim, and kindly made a big reverse slightly before boosting towards me. Last second I heard "Oh fuck" on my headset because I used AL and he couldn't do anything about it.

The next line out of him was "Well played Sir!"
