Oh man, I just got reminded of Splinter Cell memories...
I vividly remember breaking Chaos Theory. I found myself in a room in which I could alert two guys, and when they were searching, grab the guy in the back of the two-man line, incapacitate him, and vanish into the shadows so when the other guy came back around, he'd resuscitate him, and they'd go back to searching in line fashion again, so I could keep repeating the process over and over and over again.
As for really, really satisfying gaming moments, I've got quite a few. Particularly, a sweet action moment in HL2. I was using the SMG (because it's the coolest weapon) and I was fighting a bunch of Combine soldiers in a warehouse, and I found some medpacks and regained almost all of my health. So I went out from my cover, jumped onto a red trailer, ran across it long-ways toward the Combine soldiers that were firing at me from some positions on and below a staircase. So as I was running, I put a few rounds into the top guy's head, then as I got closer to the edge, I did the same to the middle guy, and then I leapt from the trailer's edge and as I was falling, sprayed the rest of the clip into the bottom guy's chest and landed directly on top of him. I was like, "Dude, epic."
Then there's the time in STALKER when I did that first mission (with the bandits at the carpark) all by myself. I used seven shots and got seven kills with my nice silenced pistol. And I was on Master difficulty. And I had the crosshairs turned off.
Then in ROGUE, when I strategically used a wand of Slow Monster to navigate around a Medusa and lose her in a labyrinth. And the time I fought off a horde of monsters from a treasure trove with just a few HP left because I had a scroll of Scare Monster handy.
