I know we are talking game shere but IMO the most epic Final stand was Dargo in the Farscape miniseries.

Closest thing I have to this is playing the final mission of the Allied section of Red Alert 3 on hard mode and co-op. It's a tough and timed mission, and we were running out of time. Basically we were just trying to use massive waves of air power to bomb the last target. The clock ran out as I sent my last wave of planes which would have finished off the target, so the enemy's "you lost and I mock you now" video started playing. This was probably the 2nd or 3rd time we'd played the mission, so we were pretty pissed off at that point. However, my planes kept going anyway and bombed the target. After the "you lost" video ended, it started playing the "you won" video and then we got mission accomplished. Suddenly the f-bombs at the game turned into "hell yeah that was awesome!" and such things.
hmmm, when i was a noob on Confrontation and I managed to kill the entire enemy team (6 people) with a pistol....I used ALL my sniper bullets because i was a poor aim back then....still am sort of now hehe.
I think any one of the defense missions in Warcraft 3. The first, where you hold out for reinforcements I kept building farmhouses, distracting the final impossible rush of enemies to the castle you had to protect until the mission ended.
The second (Under a Burning Sky I think) all of my defenses caved in. In case you haven't played it, you are summoning a kind of God of Chaos through a portal. As the portal grows (You have to defend it for 30 minutes or so) certain bonus units come through, all of which I saved at the portal. I also got these land mines, formed a perimeter around the terrace the portal was on, which took out some of the final rush of enemies. I also drew several groups of my units and the hero unit you have during the mission back to the portal, and for the last couple minutes of the mission, there was this massive war going on around the portal between humans, dwarves, demons, and lots of zombies (which you could summon from corpses). That was epic.
The last defense mission, I never finished without cheating, but when I went for a clean playthrough, the result was always epic. You were elves fighting along side human and orc forces, but your companions all die by the end of the mission and you are left alone against literally hundreds of the demons and zombies you had played as in the last mission I mentioned (you see, the elf story more or less has you fixing all the shit you caused in the undead missions).

while playing command and conquer generals: zero hour I once was holding off wave after wave of the GLA at full strength and with just a few rangers in a couple of buildings, even when they broke out the scud launchers and a scud storm I was able to survive by using some raptors and bombers to take them out. then a few hundred motorcycles come flying my way and I had to extract my forces to a closer location, so I deployed some snipers to take out infantry and sent in some Chinooks to pick up my rangers. the rangers had made their way there with only a few deaths and I even took a few trucks using the snipers ability to kill the driver and loaded some rangers in it, but then the fire stopped, the enemy had retreated and I thought I had won, but then they destroyed my base. I diverted my helicopters to pick up survivors and bring them to the rangers location. now I had some tanks and some rocket troops, but I had to deplete the resources in the area to kill my enemy financially I had managed to smuggle out a bulldozer, the builders in this game, and built a resource collector for the Chinooks and drained the last of the stuff from the area. I flew my forces in to his base and took out the last of his forces, just one problem, he had 2 bases and I had only managed to take the weaker of the 2 with half my forces dieing. I built a war machine plant and built plenty of tanks to take him out. I now had a place for 2 bases but no money, ho well, I thought, but then scuds just rained down on my tanks, killing most of them. I rallied my forces back to the armor factory I made just too find out I had 1 tank and some rangers I went back to where I was at the begging and held out for a good 20 minutes before I was overwhelmed by angry mobs.
Rome Total War.
Piece of crap city in the middle of nowhere (North Africa), defended only by one squad of hoplites and one squad of Spartan hoplites down to about ten men. One city with no links to any of my other cities, which I was on the point of abandoning anyway (I was Greece and the Egyptians had just taken all the other cities in North Africa.)
It took them nearly five hours to eventually reach the central plaza and capture it, and even then, two of my Spartans got out, and went on to have another crushing last stand against the entire might of the Egyptian army.
I don't often feel this towards games, but the amount of forces it sent after my last two warriors convinced me that I had taught it fear.

I know most of you do not respect Halo 3 but still...
Me & a mate were playing a Single Bomb Assualt game on Valhalla. Everyone on our team had quit & there were 7 members still on the other team. So it was 7 VS 2! We held out inside the base for around 4 mins plasma pistoling & shotty/bashing anyone who entered. Stuck a few & out right fluked LOADS
Maybe it was more down to the other team being dissorganised & just rushing in but we held out for a while but eventually they got their shit together & rushed us all at once...
Lo & behold we were "F*****G NOOBS & we sucked" but hell 2 V 7 for them to take so long we didnt need to say anything we'd stuck around & made em work for their "victory"

I was playing rome total war in the campaign with one of my more diplomatic/pussy family members defending one of my towns with only a handful of town guards and his personal cavalry guards.
I was up against a greek army filled to the brim with pikemen slaves and their own cavalry and felt like I was going to get annihilated from the start and if I lost the match the greeks would have a straight line into my capital which would remove me from the game.
But I used my 40 town guard as a solid block to hold the pikes and cavalry and used the cavalry to smash into and out of combat. The enemy were so confident they could beat the town guard they neglected the cavalry and I ended up winning. But at battles end all that remained was a few brave town guardsmen and three cavalry men.
The noble made it as well and gained about three command stars!

Medieval: Total War XL Mod, Playing as the Byzantine Empire, the bastard Egyptians turned on me and pushed through all my territories until they reached Constantinople, My king and his brave 500 withstood wave after wave of the opposing 3000 men, I left the battle with 300 or so, they were humiliated and defeated, my secondary force returned from punishing the infidels to the west and retook all the territories between me and Egypt, then my main force arrived by boat to assist in the siege of Cairo, it fell.
(Of course, its from a total war game.)
Empire Total War, I was Russian and I got counterattacked by the Swedish after taking one of their cities. (I sallied out.) It was 900 against 300. All I had were militiamen (melee only!) and 3 units of cavalry. It was snowing and a hill was positioned right next to the enemy. Charged their 900 line infantry with my militiamen, and flanked them with calvary. It was a meat-grinder from hell and I prevailed.

Left 4 Dead 2, in the Swamp Fever Finale. I was playing with some friends, and we weren't exactly doing a good job. So when two Tanks showed up, we weren't too thrilled.
They managed to incapacitate 2 of my teammates, while I threw Boomer Bile and the other teammate threw a Molotov at them, before he was knocked out as well. I emptied my shotgun on both Tanks as they drew close, but one of them incapacitated me in a single hit, less than a second before they both died from the Molotov damage.
This was on Normal Difficulty.

Gears of War 2, Horde. It always ends in an epic fashion.
Me and my friends were playing Dawn of War: Dark Crusade together. It was me (I am terrible at the game), my friend who has been playing it since it came out against our other friend who is like an RTS veteran. I was Necrons, my team mate was Space Marines and our friend who we were against was Orkz.
Seeing as I wasn't going to really going to do much in the match, my friend tried to wipe me out first, so he just strolls into my base, rapes absolutely everything and thinks that I am dead but at the start of the match I sent a builder to my team mates base because I knew it was going to happen. So we are all building up, fighting over capture points when finally me and my team mate decide to try destroy him. We send absolutely everything we have and have this epic fight at his base for like 10+ minutes, there are barely any units left on both sides when we wipe him out.
Me and my friend are all proud of ourselves because we have never beaten him before, until we realise that he had more than one base. He sent an army nearly the same size as the one we just defeated to our base, which had pretty much no defenses because we sent them all to the major battle and was laughing at us through the chat.
We managed to hold him off for 10 mins knowing that we were done for and then he destroyed our last units and we got to watch him destroy all of our buildings.
One of the best matches we have ever played together.
