Kingdom Hearts 368/2 Days:
I'm in Halloween Town, and am standing on a rock on the ground when suddenly an enemy hits me. Roxas recoils a bit, and falls THROUGH THE ROCK and then THROUGH THE GROUND. Suddenly I'm in an empty black void for a few moments, try to run around a bit, and am instantly killed by some mysterious force.
Awesome death.

Most Epic Death: I was play Team DM on RF:G and I was kicking some major ass on a roof on Crash Site. Well I was getting cocky and pissed my teammates off, who then shortly stopped backing me up. Almost the entire Enemy team made it to my spot and started dismantling the building below me, and as it came crashing down I detonated my pre-placed remote charges, thus killing myself and 3 of the enemy.
Most Epic Kill: I've made my own personal tag on TF2 that is in the shape of those yellow and black warning signs and it reads "WARNING: If you can read this then it's too late...look behind you." I'll often place it just past a doorway that I have remote-mined or I'll stealth and wait. Well this particular instance was the former scenario and I waited in a little hidey-hole for some unfortunate sap to stop and read it. A pyro came by, read it, turned around, and saw my little "surprise". He Started Running and I blew him to kingdom come.

GTA 4. Just getting used to the controls when the car steered into a tree. Niko's gone flying out the windshield, while I'm thinking "Oh, he'll be right." He flew over the cliff on the side of the road, and looked clear to landing in the water.
Out of nowhere, a rock popped up and damn near took his head off, sending Niko into a ragdoll spin, and myself into hysterical laughter. In real life, the head would have probably separated and gone the opposite direction.

Grand Theft Auto Vice City
There's this one gun runner quest near the end of that chain where you get chased by a bunch of guys on faggio mopeds.
I got pinned on top of a roof by them and started picking them off as they rode up, which created a nice pile of moped in the street, I decided to stay on top of the building and pick them off as they respawned and chased me down. Evnetually the street was piled with mopeds. I waited till they respawned and came back, then I walked to the edge of the building, tossed a molotov and set the whole thing on fire. The mopeds quickly exploded in a gigantic fireball as big as half a block, fireballs, smoke, and flying charred and flaming mopeds whipping through the air every place.
It was awesome, and then one of the moped slammed me dead center and killed me.
Then it was more awesome.

You do realize there is some kind of auto lock on thing when you throw one of those right? the number of times i`ve killed someone because they threw a propane tank in the middle of a firefight is ridiculous.As for mine it`d have to be Kane and lynch 2 as well another PC killed me by hitting me in the face with a gas tank ,he didn`t shoot it , just threw it , oddest insta kill i`ve seen in a whileSteinFaust said:
Freespace 2 - Was (stupidly) flying between two cap-ships firing upon each other with the big green lasers, saw a weak fighter and shot 4 Hornets at it. Hear the charging of a BFG from one of the cap-ships and afterburner forward to avoid it, nearly run into the fighter from earlier, and my 4 Hornets rocket me up the behind and kill me.
Simultaneously facepalming and awesome.

mine was GTA4
flew a helicopter out to sea then jumped out while turning and hit the propellers launching me back to land where my corpse hit a tree

RDR, i was just chilling, checking out the area around Fort Mercer, it was pretty peaceful. All of a sudden, a cougar leaps out of nowhere, knocks me down, and begins to circle around me. I pulled out my double barrel and unloaded both rounds in its face. I proceeded to skin said beast. I felt pretty good, because that was my first encounter with the big bad kitty. My celebrating was short lived. Another cougar pounces, knocking me down yet again. I attempted to get back up, but a wolf pops out of thin air, and finishes me off. My jaw just dropped. I was utterly confused because i thought cats and dogs generally hated each other. I guess that they both hated John Marston enough to work together.
Epic Death: Considering I don't play much this is the best one I have. It's one situation in League of Legends where you find a half health player alone in the woods. Naturally you try to steal this chance and kill him, only to find that the other four enemy champions were on their way/hiding in a nearby bush. The result is a complete and total instanuke.
Epic Kill: Far better than my epic death. I was playing CoD2 (No, not MW2, just CoD2.) and I'm playing on Carentan. I run up to a window and toss a grenade in. God Almighty, I just got 8 kills with one grenade. Apparently the enemy team was spawning there and they were all camping inside that house. After a few seconds I die, and respawn. I figure what the hell, and go throw a nade in the same exact spot as before.
Bang. 8 more kills. Boo-fuckin'-Yah. 16 kills with two grenades in less than thirty seconds.
Best. Game. Ever.

I was playing Unreal Tournament years ago, and it was the first time I had ever played online. I ran around to look for people to kill, but before I could spot them they'd jump out of some rafters and place six rockets perfectly at my feet. That happened for the whole match until I realized that I was the only one running around, and they were all just camping in wait.
The first time I got a care package in MW2 I stood in the red smoke. That was dumb too.

Don't know about best, but this one just came to mind when I saw the topic.
I'm playing Halo 3:ODST on Legendary, and I was just thinking about how different it was playing as the ODST Rookie, as opposed to the Master Chief in Halo 1-3 who, let's face it, was an 8 foot tall cyborg, this guy was less a man, and more a monster truck who just happened to walk like a man. This was a pretty powerful dude.
The Rookie on the other hand you spend most of his levels, completely alone, with not a whole lot of firepower, and esp on legendary, just trying not to die.
So I did a ton of sneaking around, and I got my hands on a Mongoose ATV. Thought maybe that could give me a bit of an edge with the Brutes the next time I had one I didn't want to fight straight up. So I get cornered, line it up, and go head on one with one. Likely if it had been ANY other difficulty, I'd have pancaked the bastard, I mean I had him dead to rights.
But, this was on Legendary.
So the Brute ran THROUGH me and the Mongoose, and I wound up with my spine wrapped around a very inconveniently placed lamppost.
Never even saw which way was up before he came back around and killed me for good.
Brutal and borderline painful to watch? Absolutely.
And it was awesome.

My greatest multiplayer moment came with Alien versus Predator 2 (PC).
I was playing as a Predator, and I kinda was in the Zone. The other 5-6 players at that match were pissed off at me and decided to go all marine and started hunting me.
It was incredible. I kept prowling around them with my cloak on, and taking them with well placed grenades, homing-disks and spear guns and inmmediatly vanish from their sight. I was truly reliving the Predator movie myself.
Oh, they killed me alright but my frag count was WAY higher because I was the only opponent they had
and they always went together so that mean dying once for every 10 times I killed someone . So each of my deaths felt epic. You know, just like in the movie.

Way back in 2001, me and my cousin were pulling an all-nighter playing co-op Halo. We were playing on the library level, and we were coming across the flood carriers (for those not in the know, they're big fat enemies that explode). Now an interesting glitch in the game caused the carriers to be effectively immortal. Once they got enough damage they'd just fall over and explode, but otherwise they won't die until they hit the ground and pop. Well my cousin fired a rocket at a group of them, and the explosion sent them flying.
Now the sight of 500 pound blobs flying is amusing enough. But what really made this memorable was what happened later. One of them went flying right into me. I couldn't back away because I was in a corner at the time. So the thing explodes right in my face. Now normally all that would do is just take your shields down. But I happened to be standing on a weapon cache. The explosion cooked off a handful of grenades, and the grenades cooked off the 8 grenades I dropped upon dying. Thanks to a pre-Havok physics engine, the resultant explosion sent my body flying down the hall at Mach 3. It happened so fast and so unexpectedly that we couldn't help but bust out laughing. I was literally in tears.
About 3 minutes after re-spawning we found my battered corpse hanging from some architecture on the ceiling. Cue even more riotous laughter. That was about 10 years ago, and it's still one of the most hysterical things I've ever had happen in a game.
I've died a lot of weird ways in many games over the years, but that one takes the cake. I only wish Bungie had recordable replays back then.

I have another halo death. I was playing co-op with my friend on two betrayals and at this point we both had banshees. I was speeding towards the next point in the level which involves going through a tunnel with some flood, one of which has a rocket launcher. He told me not to go in because of the rocket flood, but I ignored him, turned the corner and bam! rocket to the face as if he had already fired before I turned the corner. So my friend strarts to fly up this plateau so I can spawn and grab another banshee. Literally a meter before he reachs the top of the plateau, his banshee scraps the cliff face, I spawn on his banshee and for no reason he is kicked out and we both fell to our death. 5 seconds later the banshee hits our corpses all three prongs sticking straight into the ground and our squishy corpses. We laughed for several minutes afterwords.
Mine was a Team Fortress 2 demise... and it was an epic moment for the enemy in question. I was playing as a Heavy, and had just been Kritz'd. I waltzed out, spraying death into the enemy - and then I saw an enemy Spy coming at me from the side, so I turned to obliterate him. He jumped Over my stream of bullets, landing on a tiny boulder on the floor - JUST high enough to let him leap Onto my head and head-stab me, killing me in one shot.
Treacherous rogue.

Quite a few from MW2 alone.
Karachi - My target runs in front of me I open up with my supressed pp2000, weakening him, he turns a corner, I follow just in time for him to see a randomly thrown semtex stick to my face and explode.
Crash - Guy brushes into me doesn't even notice, I lunge with my knife but come up short, he still doesn't notice, guys an idiot (apparently), he runs into a building I lunge with my knife only to be killed by his claymore.

Two moments for me, 1 MP, 1 SP.
For SP it happened yesterday I was playing Crysis warhead and came out of a cave where a alien mecha picks up and APC and throws it at you, I narrowly dodge and then for some reason I get hit with a random rocket (still no idea where it came from). Anyway, I re-spawn and decide to hide in the cave just to easily dodge the flying APC. Sure enough it gets thrown at the cave and bounces odd the low entrance, HOWEVER it then bangs into a pile of ammo crates and sends one bouncing into the cave, and *smack* right between the eyes.
MP was in Bad company 2, it was more a series of deaths. One sniper had managed to get close to our base and was hiding in a crater (with nearby smoke semi-obscuring it. Atacama -Rush btw) and by himself he managed to hold off our WHOLE team for more than 10 minutes. Amazingly none of our vehicles bothered with him, they just went off and got slaughter because they had no backup. But this sniper had a perfect view of our bumbling infantry as we crested the ridge of our base, taking us down one by one.
Then I Carl-Gustav'd the bastard.
