Favorite way to kill (or be killed) in a video game.

Back when me and my friends played Halo 2, we would sometimes throw Plasma Grenades at each other across a huge room and one grenade would actually bounce off the explosion of the other grenade that fell short and stick someone on the other side of the map.
I must point out that, in many ways, violence in video games does not even vaguely register in our minds as killing.stevesan said:
I, myself, have admittedly made a few frustrated rampages on Morrowind, but I feel bad even killing a spider that I cannot coax out of the shower drain.

Anyhow, I personally do enjoy shotgun melee on Halo. Then agian, running over Hunters with the banshee in the original Halo is also satisfying...
In the trailer for God Hand [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY90Jl-W6Bg], it's got a couple more neat ways to kill people.
- The classic anime 'kick them into the horizon, then see the small twinkle' move.
- The suplex where their head ends up in the ground and they stay stiff for a while after the maneuver.
- The balls-stomp.

I can't believe nobody's mentioned the Precision Shooting kills on Stranglehold. There's something fantastic about seeing a man clutching at his face as a bullet tears through his cheek, all in slow motion.
Zapping the water that a group of enemies are standing in in Bioshock.
Stealth stabbing someone in Assassin's Creed, then doing the same to the guard who wanders over to investigate the corpse, then stabbing the guard who comes to investigate HIS corpse and so on. You'd think one of them would notice the suspicious, weapon-covered man in white walking away from the scene of each murder.
My favourite death was in Resi 4. No, not the chainsaw deaths (they were fun to begin with, but if you played the Mercenaries game for any length of time they became exceedingly frustrating) but when I was fighting two of the El Gigante things.
I dropped one into a pit of molten metal, and moved on to shooting madly at the other one. I was dodging around, keeping the pit between me and him, when suddenly the one I'd sent to his firey death rose, roaring from the pit, molten metal cascading from him, grabbed me, and dragged me back down with him.
It was fantastic because it was so unexpected.

Don't know if anyones posted these yet, but what the heck!
HL2, And episode one: The gravity gun whens it all pimped out and what have you. That was incredibly fun!
Halo 2/3: Running over people in ghosts, which you stole from them.
Favorite death:
Not sure if anyone has played "Stubbs the zombie" but there was a certain level were a police car comes roaring towards you and comes to a complete stop, i used to throw one of those grenades (taken from your stomach) in front of it, activate it and it'd just fly at me.
So, so fun.

How could I forget!
Does anyone else remember stealing the bow in Link's Awakening? the shopkeep's "Now you must pay the Ultimate Price!" followed by the game freezing with link being killed in a gruesome electrocution was horrifying... 0.o (yes, a emoticon was required.)

I think you're all forgetting something very important. Being left on a giant floating platform and being caught in a cataclysmic explosion because your asshat friends didn't wait for you.
Cool way to die.
As to cool ways to kill? Hmm, telefragging Shub'niggurath in Quake. Spectaculepic.

Killing - To this day, I still don't know how I did it, nor have I been able to duplicate it, but when playing Assassin's Creed, I misjudged a leap of faith from a viewpoint, was falling to my own death, and with some panicked button-mashing, managed to high-profile-assassinate a guard.
Being Killed - In Battlefield 1942, playing CTF online, I was halfway across the map with the enemy flag, thinking I was home free, when I see the giant C-130(?) transport plane in the sky, turning toward me. I zigged and zagged, but ultimately could only watch in horror as my screen was filled with the plane. My hat goes off to whoever was flying - pulling off a kamikaze attack on a moving vehicle in that behemoth is nothing short of impressive.

Jumping off a building in Crackdown, then landing on a civilian walking by, killing him instantly. Oops.
