Epic Last Stands

[Blackdoom]

I would have to say the ending to Crisis Core is possibly one of the most epic last stands I have ever experienced in a game.
To those who have not played it you are put into a battle that lasts for 30 minutes or when you die. There is infinite enemies that spawn during the fight and when the fight is over it starts a second one where you cannot defeat the final 3 enemies.
I reckon it is epic because in the context of the game and shear scale of how many people you fight.

Glenrowan, I think it was?

Anyway, four armoured outlaws against forty police officers.

Yeah it was Glenrowan where he had his last stand I live about 20m away from where it happened.

Nacht der Untoten. FOREVER. Me and two friends were playing it and we were rocking the second floor. One of my freinds had the freaking LASER GUN! Anyone who doesn't play COD:5 should get the awesomness of that by name alone. Remember this is like WW2. So the laser gun guy was holding the stairs, while one of my other friends and me were taking the lower floor. Me with my Colt, and him with his double barreled shotgun.

It's such a shame we weren't watching the secret passageway.

Now the Colt, you understand can take most zombies out in one bodyshot. My friend was taken down from behind. Two red flashes and he was down. His vision was grey. He unloaded his full pistol clip into the zombies that had stuck him down so cruelly. My laser gun friend, now with no-one to help wtem the tide of zombies, fell, dashed to the ground.

I can still hear the screams.

I was the only one left. With only a Colt that was rapidly becoming useless in the onslaught, I stood alone, my friends bodies just beyond my reach, and even if I was right next to them. I wouldn't have enough time to wake them before the zombies would take me too. I fought them as best I could, but them the reloading, of my Colt, the slow agonising feeliing as I backpedaled from my persuers, my avatars clumsy fingers, dropping them clip and unloading a new one, every millisecond another second closer to death, and then the shock, as the red flash took over my screen, as the second one, so soon, took it again, and he falled to the waves of zombies slowly encroaching upon our sad abandoned base that had for such a short time been our home. A pitiously short time, as our bones were crunched upon to feed the zombies ravenous, insatiable hunger.

We were on round 11

I was wondering if anyone would say this.

It's majorly epic becuase while you know what's coming, you didn't know it would be playable, or that they would make you face what seems like a legion of soldiers plus the helicopters. It's also a huge tear jerker, and actually gave us the real meaning behind DMW in the progress...

But why does everyone think Zack killed all but the three soldiers? That just doesn't make much sense. Seems like a calmly performed execution when the trio walks up to him in the end anyway, not some panicky survivors finally managing to bring him down after having everyone else die around them.

Star Wars Battlefront 2

Online match, 10 men left against 40, I win! >
(Very close though I think there was only me and two other people left on my team!)

Medieval Total war 2, My faction leader was holding a keep somewhere in Russia when the Mongol came, I rushed some troops to save him (I was playing England) but they didn't get there in time. Three full armies vs my 1. I lost my all my horsemen but the generals bodyguard taking out the enemy equipment, then held the walls with dismounted feudal knights, finally they broke into the centre and all that was left was my Faction leader and 2 of his body guard, they charged the only unit contesting the centre, some horse archers, half strength. With the loss of his two body guards the faction leader routed the horse archers, then time ran out, reinforced but 3 full armies to stop the Mongol hoard

The most epic one was when I was playing Halo 3 with a buddy of mine so it was 2 versus 8. It was a big team battle game and some reason. me and my friend were alone against everyone else. I had a sniper and shotgun. My friend had a RL and I think an AR. I am not sure if he picked up a shot gun later on, but it was a CTF and our team was one point ahead.

My friend was worried that we were going to get overwhelmed. I told him "If we are, I am not going to make it easy for them." I got up top and pulled out my sniper taking out their sniper and the Spartan laser. I warthog came in with three guys. One jumped out and I shot him with the shotgun. The warthog came back around and tried to take me out, but my friend took it out with a RL round. Double kill for him triple for me. Two more came in and I shot them killing them.

We fended them off for quite some time until they managed to grab it with ten seconds to go. Now they had a mongoose with two body guards in the middle. I couldn't reach the guy with the flag so out of desperation I threw a plasma grenade. It got chucked through the man cannon and stuck on the flag carrier. It exploded killing all three of them. Another triple kill. My friend who died and respawn just after told me to look behind me cause one guy was going to assassin me I quickly turned and fired one of my last remaining two sniper rounds killing that guy at point blank in the face getting myself an over-kill.

We managed to keep them at bay and won by one point. At the end of the match I was shaken. I couldn't believe we won it with me and him versus 8. It was by far the most epic thing I have ever done in a BTB.

I also did this one moment in a 2 vs 2 where we were 30 kills behind with my friend afraid that we were losing so I literally said to him "Take that skirt off and get back there and fight soldier" grabbed a shotty and painted the walls red winning the match.

Playing Nazi Zombies in the newest level (don't remember the name) and my entire team was down. I was also out of ammo for my guns, and there was a wave of zombies coming towards me.

Yeah I am not sure why I didn't say that he killed all but 3 of them I just said they were the final 3 fought. Anyway from the amount of times they shoot him I wouldn't call it a calm execution.

Gears of War 2 horde with a friend is always insane in late waves

Wow, that truly sounds amazing, i really wish there were more games like this.

Well it's being made by about twenty students and twenty teenagers using university equipment, and has so far had a four year production cycle. I've only been about for it's playable stages and it's still pretty damn buggy at times.

Empire Total War 2. I'm defending a fort from the Americans and I was totally outnumbered from the start. I had a few regiments of line infantry and citizens while the Americans had artillary, cavalry, infantry etc.
After sacrificing my flintlock armed citizens on the walls to slow up the Yanks, their infantry and cavalry came pouring in through the gates. All I had was 5 regiments of line infantry. I got them to form squares in the centre of the fort as that was the most effective way of beating back the cavalry and surrounding infantry. They held on for half an hour, the squares getting smaller and smaller untill they were crushed by a last ditch cavalry charge from the Yanks.

Even though I lost, it was absolutley epic

that game freezes every fucking time I try to play it.

Survival Mode+3 Friends+ 6 packs of chips and 6 liters of mountain dew=Epicness.

You are like some kind of Greek mathematician or something. We must let the world know of your new formula.

[Socius]

Ahhh memories.
I was trapped, deep within the 2forts.
It was an Arena match, they where 8 I think, we were 3.
I knew I couldn't trust them, only my flamer could be trusted.
and sure enough the scout wasn't a scout, he was a blu spy!
Killed the heavy we were together with, I torched his arse.
1 of us left, 7 of them.

I hid behind a corner, I do do more damge from behind after all.
the one to first enter was an engineer, I axed his F**King head several times, he died before my eyes! I played axeguitar to celebrate, but now the yhad my location for sure!
Trough a serie of strange event, I killed them, the Medic, the scouts and all of them.
they had a single character left. I walked out of the fort, with my flare gun ready.
then I see the chat "The GAME *****!" and thus I was sniped.
damn

World of Warcraft, Alterac Valley, the Alliance bridge. If you have ever played WoW, you know what I am talking about.

Oh those fights take me back. Hours upon hours of fighting on the bridge, sneaking behind the frontlines to attack the healers as a rogue was simply awesome. Once in a while we got the graveyard on the other side of the bridge, and that led into a situation, which can only be described as a clusterfuck, when everybody's trying to fit into the small canyon. Oh how I miss it

Also, in Planetside, our outfit's platoon (30 people) were defending a bridge from the TR army. The TR army's strenght varied from 60 to 140 soldiers. They had tanks, we didn't. They had Liberator-bombers, we had two light mosquito aircrafts. They had a base nearby, all we had were two AMS's hidden behind the treeline.
The fight lasted for about 1,5 hours and we were slowly pushed back towards the bridge, having set up an outpost closer to the enemy base. Our platoon consisted mainly from Heavy-assaults armed with snipers and the main battlerifle thingy (can't remember the name) and from a few MAXes.
After we had been pushed to the bridge, we received some air support when another one of our oufit's platoon captured a base. With those reinforcements we were able to push the TR back and eventually capture their base... damn how I miss that game.

 

[Random Argument Man]

I think it was Dota. It was a 1 vs 5 thing. I managed to hold them for at least 15 minutes.

Sounds like pretty awesome game though! When you mentioned the bell tower it reminded me of the classic last stand in Saving Private Ryan at the end.

There was another pretty awesome world war film i saw with an epic last stand. It was in french and i think it was about muslim soldiers fighting for the allies, there were 4 of them defending a village at the end against a ton of nazis, i think it was based off a true story as well but i cant remember. If only i could remember the title of the movie...
