Last time, I asked people what was the stupidest thing they ever did in a game. This time I'd like to hear about the opposite side of that coin. What is the *coolest* thing you have ever done in a game. I'm not talking about what you think was an awesome cut scene for a moral choice in an RPG, but rather something that happened in the game because you were smart/quick/whatever enough to *make* it happen.
Here's my own example: Back in the days of the Action Quake 2 mod, I was playing a game of 8 on 8 (that was a large game back then. Some people still had dial up modems
). The Action Quake 2 mod was one that tried to make the game more like an action movie - head shots were lethal, you couldn't carry 12 different weapons and unlimited ammo, and wounds would bleed if you didn't stop to bandage them.
The map we were on was called "Gorge" or something like that. It had 2 plateaus with a large gap in between them and a ski lift connecting the two. My team got killed early and I was left to face off against 5 other guys Bruce Willis style using nothing but a 9mm and a pair of ninja slippers (they silence your footfalls).
I heard one guy coming around a corner and jumped out to put a bullet between his eyes. The next three came at me all at once in a small room next to the ski lift. They were all out of bullets and were going at me all Bruce Lee style. Friendly fire was on and I jumped between two of them and coaxed one guy to put a throwing knife right down the other's throat. The last two in the room took two of my remaining three bullets and went down, but not before laying a nice smack down on me and leaving me with 5 health.
I heard the ski lift activate outside and ran out to see the last opponent inside, facing away from me, headed to the other plateau. I took a running start and leaped from the side of our team's cliff down on top of the ski lift in motion and dropped through the escape hatch on the roof. I typed a quick message into the console, "Turn around", then pulled the trigger before he could.
(btw, next round we lost 8 to 0 )
