Best unscripted gaming moment you've had . . .

[Manatee Slayer]

I remember a friend and I got headsets so we could play Battlefield 2142 properly. It was near the end of the game, both titans had their shields down, everyone was defending so it was all about the missile silos. Each team had an equal amount so we decided to go out in our two man squad and sort it out.

After crash landing at a silo, I survived and he died. I pressed on, I killed two snipers who were firing at me and started to take the silo, The commander must have been watching as he lay down supplies...too far away for me to actually be healed or re-supplied...but still, nice effort.

As I made the silo neutral a tank rolled up, all I could do wa run away and hide behind the supplies, he couldn't have saw me as he just sat there, still facing the supply crate but not firing.

I scream into my mic "I need some help here, I have a bit of a problem at the silo". At that moment, an enemy UAV started to fly overhead and almost instantly I started taking fire. As a last ditch effort I shouted into the mic "I'm about the die, HELP!".

I come out from the supply crate, about to run toward the tank, trying to find a bit more refuge around the silo.

Suddenly, I see four rockets smack against the side of the tank, causing it to explode. Twenty feet above the tank an attack helicopter sweeps over and I hear "Don't worry, I've got your back", my friend came through and saved my ass.

I took the silo and eventually brought down the enemy titan.

All of this happened in the space of about thirty seconds, but it's one of those things that seemed like it lasted ten minutes.

In the next game, I was the commander, my friend was sitting at a missile silo, alone, under pretty heavy fire. I drop a supply crate, I realise that it goes a little bit up and to the side when falling so I aim it accordingly so that it wasn't miles away.

Ill be honest...I hit him with it...and I got kicked from the server for team killing.

In halo reach, I was trying to kill an elite, so I got out of my warthog, and chased it...

It then hopped on the turret, and killed me.

That's happened to me more then once, I believe. You're not the only one.

I'm sure I've had a lot of them, but most I don't remember, as they were probably late at night playing online with my friends.


I remember one time in WoW though, like a year or so back when I was really into it, I got my two friends in RL that were big console gamers to come and try it out. They ended up liking it and played with me on a PvP server.

One day, though, they were level 41 and doing stuff in the Hinterlands when these two level 50's started hounding them. They whispered me asking for help while dodging these guys and avoiding death. I was able to arrive in the knick of time from the Undercity, and slay them both, saving my friends from a grueling death.


Think I'm gonna go play WoW now.

I have a similar one to that WoW one, also about a year ago with my RL friend. I was on my 80 hunter, he was levelling a warrior in Borean Tundra, about level 71.
My server was alliance dominated to I was being his 'bodyguard' while queueing for random dungeons.
At one point I could see two allies coming towards him on the map. (hunter tracking ftw!) It was a gnome and a night elf. They started attacking him, I casually walked over and fired an arrow in each of their faces, 1 hit kill on each. I don't think they knew I was with him.

I had so many in Carmageddon as well! I was driving around the map when I heard a scream so I watched the replay. I'd driven into a pine tree, the tree had flown up in the air and came straight back down onto an old lady. XD

In SSB melee, I, as captain falcon, had a one-on-one duel with an AI as ganondorf on final detination, and as soon as the match starts, I do a forward b attack which causes Falcon to do a leap forward fire hook. However, Ganondor does the same thing. Someone called to me, so I pause the game, and what I saw was perhaps the most epic thing: it was right before we came into contact with one another, and Falcon and Ganondorf were leering at each other, each doing a left hook with fire and shadow effects respectively. It was like the box art for Street fighter 4, only better. Awesome.

Monster hunter freedom 2(psp) felt awesome during all of my 350 hours of gameplay. After killing a monster you felt like one, because it took huge skill and preparation to beat any monster bigger than a bullfango (huge wild boar).

Playing Resident Evil: Outbreak, the I think this was after the servers were down because I was playing by myself, I also can't remember whether it was file 1 or 2. But anyway, I was on the level where a giant plant has taken over a set of buildings in the woods and you have to try to kill it, all while avoiding the "Axe-man" who literally follows you around everywhere. While doing the mission, the AI controlling the characters was being fairly good at mimicking actual people online, slowly one by one we were picked off by the axe-man, until me and a mortally wounded AI were left, I was carrying the AI on my shoulder, when from a doorway appears the axe-man, one fell swoop takes me down nearly all my health, dropping my AI leaving us both crawling down the hallway trying to avoid the last few zombies and axe-man. One of the only times playing a game I actually felt scarred.

Similar scenarios would happen in the Hospital level with the guy covered in cockroaches who would appear out of vents until you fought he off.

It was just awesome how the whole event played out so realistically even while being unscripted

The Mission with the Axe-man is called "Flashback" and that was in outbreak:file#2

and those were not cockroaches but leeches because Raccoon General Hospital was taken over by the leech queen down in basement/sewers and that mission was called "The Hive" and that was in outbreak:file#1. And Doctor Hursh you meet at the beginning of that mission becomes the "leech monster" that follows you around just like the Axe-man in "Flashback"

Thanks for clarifying, it's been such a long time since I played those games

 

[Biodeamon]

Most matches in halo.

I'd dominate with energy sword assasinations just dropping from above or coming out of air vents

 

[Shadie777]

That feeling you get in Battlefield Bad Company 2 online when you destroy a fast moving helicopter with a RPG. It might have been luck but It felt awesome.

I probably have more but I can't remember.

 

[Duck Sandwich]

In Halo 1, I was in a narrow corridor where an Elite with a sword was charging at me. I backed into the wall and unloaded on him with my pistol, with the last bullet in my clip firing just as he came into melee range. He was just about to kill me when I pistol whipped him. He died.

 

[Brandon237]

Crysis had some interesting moments with cloak mode and the poor ai... poor poor tanks... they literally did not have chance...

Also prototype, so many beautiful explosions.

 

[th3xile]

I was playing Star Wars Battlefront on the Rhen Var Harbor map. I remember we were down a good number of men when one of the At-Ats started approaching. I quickly ran my engineer over to the turrets on the lighthouse and repaired them as the At-At slowly got closer. I hopped in the first turret and started hammering away at it (mind you, the At-Ats on Battlefront 1 had a lot less health then in 2). It started destroying the turret when I jumped out before the last laser made it explode. I ran to the next turret and repeated the process for all 4 turrets on the lighthouse all the while my A.I. companions are getting overrun by the Empire spawning right in our base. While on the last turret I finally destroy the At-At right as he fires the last bullet to destroy my turret, I jump off of the lighthouse with the exploding turret behind me and an exploding At-At in front of me, land (grab a bacta tank cause I barley survived) and led a charge through the ice caves to capture their last command post.

 

[Bravo 21]

I was playing battlefield 1942, on wake island I believe, driving a jeep like a maniac, when all of a sudden, I see a tank, right ahead of me, and I like to imagine that it was lining up a shot to fire at me. I leap from the jeep, and it continues travelling forward, smashing into the tank, which then explodes. I smiled, and continued on my merry way

 

[TerribleAssassin]

Someone throws a semtex through a door, I walk out kill them with an entire mag of Python Dual Wield and it explodes with me undamaged.

I then watched it in Theater and it was badass.

 

[WindKnight]

I still remember this moment from a game of Halo PC. I grab a sniper rifle, and I'm a vantage point. I spot another sniper rifle weilder looking away from me.. I zoom in, line up, hit zoom just to make sure... Literally as the scope is zooming in, the other guy turns to look right at me, just like in the opening scene of the anime Spriggan. Luckily, I was quicker on the trigger finger.
