Online Gaming: Most Satisfying Kill
polycounter lvl 18
My stepdad brought Halo 2 over to my house for Thanksgiving. I was playing it for a while and experienced the most gratifying frag of my entire life.
I was out of ammo and am being chased relentlessly all around the map by my brother. For some reason, I just couldn't find any ammo for the one weapon I had, and I couldn't get coordinated with the buttons to stop long enough to grab another one. All I had was an energy sword, a grenade, and just enough luck and dodging ability that I'd managed to survive this long.
After being pursued through a winding hallway, I burst out of a doorway, spun around and lobbed my last frag grenade. It explodes just behind him, sending him flying into the air toward me. I got right underneath him, somehow did an upward thrust with my energy sword, and WHOMP!! Impaled!
Well, not "impaled," exactly... Halo 2 doesn't have an impaling animation, that I saw. That combined with a "Replay" feature would have been really cool!! A bit later I learned how much 0wn4g3 is inherent in the energy sword, but the kill still felt good.
Anyway, share your best frag story!

Had another good one where I died, in a CA team warmup, I was falling down the central area of pro-q3dm6 while my friend was rocketjumping upwards quickly - we saw each other at the same time, spun round and shot each other in the face, in midair, with rockets - and both perished!
More recently, catching grenades with the gravity gun in HL2MP and throwing them back at the grenade's "owner" is fun
A bunch of the enemy team was holding down our team in a bottleneck area, so I go for a long flanking maneuver. I'm hoofing along, and get in one little firefight, then round a corner. I pull up to a stop, and look to my left and right.
I had apparently reached the campers' choke point, as there are 5 enemies right next to me, all looking the same direction as I was, which was toward my team's base. I swear that one of them saw me, but it musn't have registered to him that he had an opponent standing right next to him, as he just pulled out a rifle and took aim toward my teammates. I stand there for a second, and I'm like "Damn, how am I going to get all 5 of them?" I'm a bit concerned about moving, as they might turn when they hear my footsteps. So...
I grab a grenade, and toss it toward the guys just to my right, switch to my Thompson, headshot 1 guy, the grenade goes off, and kills one more. 2 down, but the other guys wake up, and begin turning toward me. I unload on the quicker two, taking them down, and switch to my knife as the last one wakes up out of his sniper-induced zone. I shank him good. 5 down, no damage to me, and my team rushed the gap just as I was finishing them off. They go completely ape-shit, and we make a good rushing advance.
Game, set, match.
Ah, thought of a good moment in my fragging history:
The game - Desert Combat mod for BF1942
The level - Gazala
Situation - On this map I *always* go snipe with the 50 cal. The server I played on had a Team-Speak server running so people could chat while playing. I'm really good at hiding myself in that level and would often switch Team-Speak channels to the opposing teams channel and listen in as they get extremely frustrated at how I'm killing them and they can't see me. Next thing I'd know I'd have everyone on their team scouting for me. Helicopters, jets w/ radar... everything. My heart-rate would go up from the excitement.

I am easily satisfied
I was in a long fight with one of my friends, we both had the second largest sword in the game. After a while, he just barely got his sword in and chopped off my arm with the weapon. With one arm and no weapon i ran across the entire map with him chasing me, this went on for quite a while. Finally i managed to get him off my back by just baring jumping to a ledge (he tried, but then fell and lost almost all of his health). I got the nearest health close to me and searched for the closest weapon (when you get more health your arm comes back). The only thing i could find near me was my old arm, so I picked that up thinking I would hold it till i found a new weapon... but then i saw him. He jumped infront of me swinging his massive sword, so i jumped back and threw the arm i had and hit him, killing him.
Thats such a good example of why Rune is the best MP game ever
I suck hard at deathmatching, but my low-tech solution impressed the hell out of my colleague there with me.
/jzero
The MP was indeed one of the better i've ever played, and i just can't get enough of it.
Or one unthinkable time I was playing I thing Q3DM17 and I was so hot for one instant I won like 29 frags to the closest bot was like 16 9 7 and 5. It never happened again.
More recent was UT2003 in the remake of the Q3 campgrounds map and I did very well.
-Being the last surviving player in a Firearms HL match, and managing to hold off the enemy team for over 5 minutes and getting about 15 kills.
-Stabbing a enemy sniper with the Chainsaw knife in Planetside (the only knife kill I got in that game heh)
-in UT on morpheus deathmatching a friend, as he lands on the tower I am on, I jump off and shoot a redeemer missile onto near where he was landing. Cheap but funnnn.
It's probably buried somewhere in the back of my head since the 99's... xP
but nothing can top fragging 8 people at once with a power amplified shock rifle exposion.
every now and then poop and some of the other peeps at work get some utk4 ownage by good ol quiet me. i love hearing poop trash talk when he's losing

What the hell? I never lose. Keep dreaming Cocheykins.
DUke Nuke'em. I was the master of the Proximity mine. Being able to set them against the wall of an elevator shaft as I jumped down was a practiced skill. Best weapon was at the bottom of the shaft. Bees to honey.
UT2K4, just one of thse days I was on. Map was ONS-Canyonlands. Found a sniper rifle and just sat down next to, and slightly behind the rotating Shield ICON, zoomed in and shot 45 points of peoplke trying to cross the narrow land bridge to our side of the canyon.
HL2DM, First use of the Rocket Launcher in DM. watched as one of my co workers, Seth, climbed up towards the hole in the building. I launched the rocket, and he tried to dodge.
.

...tried...
The fact that one can guide the rocket, and it has a blast radius, mean that there was no dodging the rocket. (I wonder if you can grab it woth the gravity gun?) Seth lept down the debris pile in a bid to escape, but I guided the rocket right to his feet. There was a surprise in store for the both of us. The body launched straight up acout 3 or four stories, turning slowly through the air, almost gracefully, befor bouncing on th gravel and falling to a stop off the debris on the street. Beautiful....

My friend chris davison, the guy who introduced me to deathmatch (God bless him) and I guess ultimatly my career was chasing me, I had the RL, all of a sudden i reversed direction and he flies by me, not a second after I fire a rocket in his back. i stole the idea from the movie Top Gun.
I still do it sometimes, great tactic.

me and my friend ben started a game and two entered. we decided to be on different teams. i was protos and my teammate was zerg while ben was terran and his teammate was protos.
start points were in the four corners and convered by land bridges in the center of the map.
my teammate was damn good with zerg and destroyed ben's teamate leaving him to defend against our onslaughts with depleted resources. my teammate was a "zerg rusher" i hated those bastards, they were tough to beat.
ben would easily be destoyed. i started to devise my teammate's doom. he did not know his ally and enemy were sitting at arm's length.
i began lining the coast of the center with pylons and cannons and instructed my teammate to use them as cover and amass his entire force in the center as it would be the last attack we would see in this game. it formed a huge circle in the center of the map.
ben had a small defense that was on it's last feet constructed that guarded his existence in the game, with the last of ben's resources, he trained two ghosts and had been constructing two nuclear missles that had recently been.
so, on my mark, my teammate's entire zerg army was in transit for a massive strike south to crush ben, it was beautiful. as planned, ben's ghost was just outside the sight range of my cannons that would decloak his ghost who marked a nuke, also keeping him hidden to the zerg army that began to run past him.
the game annouced, "rreeoooww, nuclear launch dedected". that was my cue, ben had marked a nuke to drop in the center of the map. i switched my alliances and my cannon's began to fire at it's center where my teammate's massive army funneled past them, still set as my ally - shooting fish in a barrel. moments later, "rreeoooww..." ben set us the bomb yet again, a second was aimed to hit just outside his own defenses that would destroy the first ghost and the first wave of zergs that surrounded him which should have been ben's demise.
my teammate: "yousd fk*$&!!$# bastard!! die! F*** YOU! F*** YOU!"
"waiting for players - 29, 28, 27, 26.."

*cheers, laughter and high-fives*
We both decided the same tactic at the same time - forget main base, just go charging in with an army, since our bases were essentially useless at this point.
However, if all town halls are destroyed and there are none under construction, you automatically lose...
So there we were, running round frantically building new town halls (i was orcs, he was night elves), but our armies were finding and destroying them as they were being built... eventually it came to the point that we only had one town hall left and no money to build any more... we both found them at the same time, and were frantically attacking them since whoever destroyed it first would win the game ...
i won by about half a second's worth of attacking... it was tense as hell!
stupid tactics, but funny ... indirect conflict!
It's THE WAREHOUSE. I'm running down a walkway with some mofo running right towards me. We're both bunnyhoppping, and we both have railguns. We miss hitting each other until we're about 10 feet apart. Then somehow, we both jump at about the sametime, and we both hit eachother with our rails. We both gib
Ut2K3. Invasion-Skilled.
I just kept surviving and surviving. When we got to the 11th round everyone was looking at my ping and typing about how I MUST be cheating because they had all died while I had managed to survive that long.
UT2k4.
Smaller Dedicated deathmatch server. Played a person on it who suddenly they started suggesting I was hacking because I got the speedhack 2 much (a known bug for higher pings in older Ut2k4 version numbers). So booted me after I took it as a compliment to my skill with high lag.
Got the main admin to let me back on after telling me to stop talking back to the player (umm, yea. whatever - I have a right to defend myself against a unwarranted attack). Anyhow having a great run. She (found out later it was a she) comes on and spectates. Im feeling nice and ask her to join in. SHe says "Join this". And bans me again. This time the admin is even more of a dick and simply says he won't do anything about it.
It was frustrating and satisfying at the same time. Because I wasn't hacking. She was a spoiled sport. While the admin I assume was her BF. And I managed to keep my head and act civil while she took everything out of context.
