against all odds?

[Seydaman]

when i was playing mount and blade i had my own kingdom with 1 castle, i had 120 guys and was out getting troops, when THE ENTIRE VAGIER KINGDOM(the armies) came and sieged my castle, it was epic 120 guys destroyed the entire group (429 troops)

Stumbling into the Deathclaw sanctuary in Fallout 3 with a level 4 character and actually fighting my way back out without dying, Bottlecap mines and a whole lot of med-x.

I often end up losing games in Soulstorm (DoW) because my allies are crap or give up and end up being killed. Usually because they get a kickass army, send it straight into the enemy base and get cut to pieces. Does the enemy a lot of damage, but suicide runs aren't the way to go and they can't regroup quick enough, which means I'm stuck on my own having tried to be tactical and spread out my forces so I'm less vulnerable to a head on assault.

Anyway, this usually means I'm left alone against 3 (or sometimes 4) strong enemy armies allied against me. I usually try to hold them off for as long as possible, very rarely do I actually win (Eldar webway gates and teleporation are both very useful in that regard). However, I remember a while ago I was on the Kaurav City map as Eldar, sent my troops one way via the webway and my allies were stuck fighting a losing battle right in front of the enemy base. We were this close to losing, when my entire army hit the enemy base from behind (the canals mean that you can only get there as Eldar or through the base), wiped out the main HQ and the entire base, then joined up with the ragged tatters of my allies as we stormed the remaining enemy bases with aerial attack units flanking across the canals. Result: Epic win and the rewarding of many internets to me and my team

Once, in Warcraft 3, I was playing a 2 vs 2 and my base was attacked and destroyed. The only building that survived was a dwarven workshop. While my friend held off against their attacks, I built up an army of steamtanks from my leftover gold and donations from my friend. When the enemy team attacked my friend, they did not realize I was still alive, and I moved 16 steamtanks into their base which leveled it within seconds.

After that game, I used the steamtank's base-destroying awesomeness in my patented "steamtank rush" to win many games, until blizzard finally nerfed them.

Killed Gruul with 5 people left alive (He was at 5% and 3 or 4 grows I think)

In FFX-2,Please don't hate me :>(, I survived a behemoths meteor with 100 health left.

 

[Blights]

Hey, I loved FF 10-2! Maybe it's not fashionable to like it, but I thought it was tons of fun.

Anyway, one time many years ago I got through the first 3 levels of Contra on one life.

In almost every RPG where I don't grind enough to take down a boss. Then when he kill all my party members except for one and the one that is left is about to die, I attack one last time, and sometimes that works, its like a miracle. But sometimes the boss will die, but then morph into another thing and kill me (I hate multiple boss battles in one battle).

Nice.

Once in Battlefield 2142 I killed six guys all shooting at me. It was awesome I emptied my sniper rounds on them then killed one with a pistol, and then stabbed a guy. For a brief moment I felt untouchable.

 

[Ursus Astrorum]

My party defeated Tiamat once. 'twas rather epic, especially when you consider that we're more RP based and don't twink our characters.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

On a very good run in Dustbowl, stage 2, I went as spy on blu team.
The Red team's engies were somewhat disorganized and the fact that there were 2 other spies harassed them even more, I came in and sapped EVERYTHING, I think some of them failed, but It was awesome! At one point there was a hevy popping out of his spawn firing at 2 spys, and I managed to backstab him as well! I was laughing the whole time!

Ah the heady thrill of feeling like a god, I'm usually pretty rubbish at online shooters so it came as quite a surprise to me when playing Halo 3 one day I got three headshots in a row only to be shotgunned from behind while admiring my handiwork.

 

[SovietSecrets]

In Call of Duty 5 it was me against bout 8 members of their team with them all rushing me. Know its been done before, but managed to kill all of them without getting shot once. Only against all odds moment ever had.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Numerous M2TW battles.

I've done that too!
I also beat Seth on Hardest difficulty without breaking a controller,
defeated sephiroth in the first Kingdom Hearts at level 40,
and sniped someone across the map in Halo 3 without using the scope (random lucky shot).
