Your greatest gaming glory

Beating CoD2 on vetran whithout playing any other CoD game, and the hardest fps I'd ever played before that was halo 2 on normal.

Now is that one hell of a skill jump or what.

I was playing the original multi-player Halo one day with some friends. The map was Blood Gulch, and I happened to be fortunate enough to stuble across a rocket launcher, which is usually a Herculean task, considering that every player in the game converges to the point at which the rocket launcher spawns until it becomes a hot, sweaty, titanium-alloy brothel. But anyway, I had the rocket launcher and I was at the blue base. Everyone was dead around me so I decided to zoom in to see if I could see anybody. After about 4 seconds of seeing nothing, I got bored and fired a random rocket over to the red base. This was seemingly stupid at the time, but there was no one around. However, I was then out of ammo, and everyone on the game saw the rocket moving across the map and started stampeeding towards me like a bunch of dogs towards a piece of meat. As you can probably guess I was fabulously bum-raped and died. I did, however, manage to take out one person before dying. Afterwards, I spawned around the middle of the map, and the person I killed spawned at the red base. He proceeded to go up to the top of the base to get the sniper rifle. He picked it up and zoomed in to scope out the blue base only to see that my randomly fired rocket was 5 feet away, and he got blown up like Hillary Clinton after devouring fourteen babies.

Mine is all the sweeter thanks to a crowd of people that were in attendance. One of my good friends and I entered a Street Fighter tournament. He and I play fighting games together constantly so we are no strangers to real knock down, drag out brawls. As luck would have it, we started almost completely across from each other in the standings. We both have some tough matches, but ultimately there we are in the final fight against each other. Game: Capcom VS SNK 2. The Rules are simple, first to KO all his opponents characters - Wins. Since it's the finals our match is being projected on the main stage, and about 500 people are watching. We each pick our three fighters.

For my first fighter I choose Blanka. It's an odd pick for me, I rarely use him, but I am hoping that it would throw my friend off his game. He picks - Akuma. I know I am in deep. He's going for the instant win. The fight isn't even close. Akuma rapes Blanka all over the screen. He takes round one.

Round Two - My second fighter is my best tech character, Ken. It's a good scrap, he tries to blow me away from start, but I'm on to his game. Ken beats Akuma in a sound match.

Round Three - It's my Ken against his next pick. Bison. Bison is my best character, I know that this pick is to mess with my head. I feel confident that he never uses Bison, so I should have the advantage, but he shows me that he is no slouch with the master of evil. Ken barely takes the victory, but I have almost no health entering the next round.

Round Four - I know what's next. My friend bust out Ryu, his best character. He is ready to end this match. It's not even a fight, he basically one hit's my near dead Ken ending the match in about 5 seconds.

Round Five - It's the final round, and he knows who's coming up. It's Bison vs Ryu, both at full health. I wish to this day I had someone record this, it was an epic fight, the kind people post on youtube. I'll cut to the end for time however. Both our characters are down to their last slivers of health. Both characters' gauges are also maxed out. In the most splinded display of awesome EVER, we both use our final most powerful attacks in tandem. Ryu rolls back for the Shinkuu Hadouken, Bison takes to the air for his Super Psycho Crusher. Both attacks nail each other at the exact same moment. A blinding light fills the screen and both characters fly backwards in their "defeat" animation. Long seconds pass... no character is announced the victor. The game starts to glitch slightly. (In this title there are NO Double KO's.) We put down our controllers and stare at the projection side by side. The officials for the competition are running around trying to figure out what to do. Ten Seconds.... Fifteen... Finally, the game makes a decision. Bison jumps to his feet and strikes a victory pose, dragging his thumb across his jugular. The crowd erupts in applause.

It was amazing.

My best friend and I have a long standing rivalry concerning Street Fighter. He plays Ryu, and I play Ken, and for years we would face off with no one being the clear winner. Our rivalry peaked in its competitiveness when Alpha 3 was all we played. He won the first round, and the second round went to me. The third round ended with a double knock out, which almost never happens. Before the fourth round began we both agree this would decide once, and for all who was the better man. I won the fourth round by the skin of my teeth.

Not nearly as good as Cyrus' story right above this post, but it was a special moment for us. We grew up playing Street Fighter together.

Unreal Tournamen. After having lost several matches of instantgib against my friends I finally just snap and go overkill. Though we only had a 15 kill = Win I more or less go berzerk and utterly destroy them. 15kills - 2deaths (my win) 4-8 (buddy) 0-4 and -1 - 12.

Call of Duty.
3v3 team round, search and destroy, rifles (bolt action) and nades only.
my two team mates were eliminated by successful grenade spam early in the round. A tight formation is easily eliminated so I had stayed back a few steps. I was crouching my way down a corridor when I hear the enemy approaching. I hide behind a few boxes on the left-hand side of the corridor, hoping to get the jump on my opponent if he passes by. A soldier runs right past me-- I stand up and take aim. Right behind the lead soldier are his two team mates. They're all within striking distance and none of them saw me. The closest soldier is only a step away so I take him out first with with the butt of my gun. An instant later, my sights are trained on the lead trooper who I drop with one bullet. My last foe, stopped in his tracks looking for the source of the gunfire, is now directly to my left. I spin quickly and strike him with the stock of my rifle. All three kills occur in the space of one second. The round is over.

At the very end of a Sabotage game on COD4, just as my teams base was about to explode I pulled out my RPG just to squeeze off a last shot out of despair. I just pointed randomly, fired the rocket and it flew across a large open section of the map, over a river i think, and unexpectedly smashed into someone's face who was coming round a corner miles away. It was just the luckiest, most precise shot I'd ever done and it got a few cheers from other people in the game. And a loud cry of "PWND" from myself.

Playing Halo 3 a while back, though only on social, capture the flag on Valhalla, 2 minutes in the other team captures our flag (my team were nubs) so I think, what the hell and grab a shotgun run up to their base kill the two defenders grab the flag then piss bolt back to base using the grav lift. I immediately grab a mongoose and drive it back to their base do the exact same thing, a banshee had respawned by that point so i jumped in flew across to the enemy base, jumped out killed a guy, grabbed the flag and ran back to base, winning us the round 3 to 1. I got 3 flag captures in the space of about 2 minutes, I laughed at the other team pretty hard.

 

[Blayze]

Counter-Strike: Source, Assault map. I was on the Terrorist side. As usual, we had lost a round very quickly. A sudden idea hit me, and when the next round I stayed in the hostage room. Using the Use key, I proceeded to barricade myself and the hostages in. I almost managed to get that damn table out of the back room, but the four remaining CTs had just approached the door and I was the only Terrorist left.

: C'mon Blayze, get back into the game already!

They tried to open it, discovered that it was blocked, and opened the way with frag grenades. They opened the door, and I struck. I had a fully loaded machine gun and two Dual Elites, as well as two flashbangs and a frag grenade.

I fired everything at them, dodging as if my life depended on it. By the time the effects of the second flashbang faded, I was the only one left standing. I had obliterated them all. My finest videogame moment, and I couldn't see it for the sodding flashbangs.

Blayze: Is that 'getting back into the game' enough for you?
: Uh... yeah.

My dad once asked me to play Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear against some of his work friends.
He gave my character a shotgun. Loaded with rubber shells. (It was a joke or something, I suppose.)
I defeated them all single-handedly, without even knowing I used the game's absolutely most useless weapon that required a full magazine to the head to kill someone in a game where one or two shots downs you, on average.

IIRC, his friends attributed it to genes. Apparently, because my dad's been a desk job lieutenant in the swedish army for some long amount of years, I'm a 10 year old FPS prodigy.
Right, whatever.

Still, that has to be the one. Odds extremely stacked against me, I, alone, defeated a bunch of military guys in a military simulator game using the weakest weapon imaginable.
I sadly have no deep memory of this, but the legacy of my heroic deed of pwn lives on in the Swedish Army to this day.


Sub-moments would include...
Double-jumping in HL-2, using a rocket fired from an enemy rocket launcher (I swear this happened. I don't know how, but he fired a rocket at me in a tight corridor, I jumped and jumped AGAIN off of the rocket, or so it sure seemed, and killed him with my handgun.) This was in LAN. Many yells of profanity directed at me ensued.

Resistance: Fall of Man. Slaughtering a whole bunch of people in survival mode, getting almost 50% of the map's collective kill count, without dying once. (In R:FoM, my performance varies between "GODLIKE!" and "newbie", very very fluctuating.)

LAN game of Soldat with classmates, went from one end of the map to the other, killing every single person in a glorious dance of death involving every weapon at my disposal (shotgun, knife, grenades), with only my helmet getting shot off as for my injuries. Worthy of mention is that I did not stop moving in the exact same direction even once during it.
There were a lot of cries of profanity, directed at me. And the shotgun was banned from my use.

Me and a friend used to have a relatively long-lasting (but very friendly) rivalry in SSB:M, I was a Shiek user through and through, he used Dr.Mario. We were always perfectly tied. One day, we decided. Ninety Nine lives. No items. Final Destination map. This was it. This is where we decide who is the true champion of our epic SSB:M rivalry.
Blow by blow, we eat each other's lives away until we have one left each. And my damage is approaching 200%, while he's fresh as a daisy. I get blown off the platform, almost get back, but he jumps out to hit me into the depths below. I teleport, using my up-B as my last possible action... He meteor-smashed empty air spectacularly, failed to up-B back to the edge, and plummeted to his death, me following him a few meters above.
Victory was mine.


And that's it, as far as I can think of right now at least.

In one CS 1.6 CAL match we were losing badly on one of the dusts (I forget which is which). They had been awping the middle so we always lost at least one guy right at the beginning. They would delayed rush by hanging out in the middle covered by their awper then choose which bomb site to attack based on how many people the awper saw pass in front of the doors. I took a running jump past the doors and the sniper just barely missed me but I was all alone so I started walking up to B with my colt at the ready. After a while I got nervous and began sneaking up to the tunnel waiting to be jumped. The second I turned the corner into the room I saw all four attackers with their backs to the wall within poking distance. I started firing wildly and got four headshots right down the line; we ended up winning after that (because one win gave us enough money to actually buy good weapons and full nades).

In one 3v3 Warcraft III game I was the only one left after both of my partners were disconnected. Luckily they had built up their bases a bit so when I was given control they had plenty of production capability. I pumped out an enormous attack force and poised it by my base then began my rampage across the bottom of the map to the nearest enemy. At the same time they were attacking up high so we both hit each other's bases at around the same time. Through some ridiculous dragon micro and plenty of dumb luck I was able to destroy all three of their bases before they destroyed mine.

A long time ago I was playing a Starcraft game online and had been crippled by zerg rushes far too much that day and I was annoyed. I started my next game as the Protoss, set up a series of proton defenses (I think three levels), plugged up the holes with zealots and started my fastish tech to carriers. When the expected rush came it was completely decimated by my defenses and left my zerg opponents too weak defend against my carriers when they started their flight across the map.

whilst ive had many a high tension moment on ultima online like when we were on a 10 v 10 factions battle (2 waring army type things) and we had to retreat by bro unfortunatly got stunned and the other 8 members left him to die saying there was no point (misrable gits) i went back and me and my bro some how managed to fend off all 10 of them and escape.

whilst ultima has given me many damn good moments i think desert combat a battlefield mod was the best. once again me and my bro were playing a CTF game and chatting over the mic, i was flying the apache helecopter as he was crap at choppers and i manage to pull off stupid things in them, any way i flew over the flag rather high and got bro to bail out (he landed behind a building)i nose dived the apache and shot the hell outer most thing as i bounched the chopper off the ground at high speed and picking up my bro who now had the flag (and was almost dead), unfortunatly i clipped the flag pole during the dive/pickup/bounce and sent us into a spin and some how managed to recover it by flying backwards between 2 buildings, flying over the neerby hill i hear my bro (who now has rear view up) shouting to get over the hill, the next part was a long flat streach in which the whole of the other team had lined up for me and to make things worse the chopper was bleeping frantically to tell me the chopper was about to exsplode.
as the missiles rained in and my bro shouted over the mic "MISSILES" i flew low so low in fact my bros screen started to show him as underground (a glitch) some how i managed to get to the cliff edge and forward role the choper into the canyon as i whatched loads of missiles fly over head.
it was a long flight back with the chopper bleeping at me as if it was being held together by ductape and string, during this frantic scuttle between hills my bro shot down a missle only chopper with his gun as i avoided more missles. we finally made it to the flag beaten and brused as we heard a tank and chopper at the flag site "bugger". i flicked up the front end of the chopper shouted "BAIL" and launched the remaining missles at the tank (whilst upside down) as i tryed to do a back flip from almost ground level. my chopper and the tank i shot at promptly exsploded as my bro was proprelled towards the flag pole, capping it just in time to get mowed down by the enemy choppers guns.

"gg" was spammed as missiled pummled the chopper that had killed my bro, i grabed a chopper picked up bro and went back for some more, we may have died but we had got the flag and thats all we cared about
