Your Ultimate Moment of Videogame Badassery

[TehBooger]

Being one step away from a perfection in a multiplayer match on Reach. 16 kills, 1 death. lost a close quarters fight to a guy with a hammer that I could have sworn I got an assassinate on... Was righteously pissed that I died, but not till I already had my running riot.

In the final level of the original Splinter Cell, Sam meets the Georgian president and is then momentarily caught by the security team in the building - I think there's about 5 of them.

He holds up his hands, and Lambert starts counting down until the lights go off.

As soon as they went out I flipped the goggles down, looked down the rifle scope and headshotted two guys, before rolling into cover and taking out the rest.

It was a moment where my 5 second planning completely paid off.

I beat the entire Echo set of missions on MW2 by myself. On Veteran. Wetwork seemed impossible but I somehow managed to do it.

Well there was the one yesterday not exactly sure how the AI didn't notice me I was playing AC Brotherhood and I was on the mission where you have to kill the Banker, for full sync you had to kill him from a bench hiding spot all without being detected by the guards. For crying out loud I ran right past the guards jumped all over people finally found a bench I didn't fuck up by standing on one of the people and BAM down goes the Banker.

My other one was in COD WaW on Zombies, I got a Sniper Rifle from the chest and I saw a zombie coming at me I looked down my sight lined up the headshot on the crosshairs fired and got 3 headshots with one bullet. =D

Escaping a car chase in GTA IV by accidently finding a ramp and jumping on to a motoroway bridge just as 'Evil Woman' by ELO comes on the radio.

 

[The Funslinger]

not particularly incredible, but it felt good. And it's all I can think of off the top of my head: Fallout New Vegas, I had to rescue that guy from the Bison Steve Hotel. I got out an ordinary knife, crouched and used my first ever stealth boy and backstabbed every enemy in the building, then rescued the guy. No damage to me.

Well erm... Where to begin, honestly.
So many games, so many moments - I'll just list a few of my favourite moments that I can vaguely remember, but it's like trying to remember every good book you've read...

Way back in Diablo 2, just anything I did with my Blizzsorc was awesome, every duel game was just a chance to show off.

In command and conquer generals, taking on my brothers, my friends, and some randoms by myself, and winning. Thrice.
Pretty much same goes for SupCom2, RA3, some other RTSs.

In WoW (yeh, I've quit now, don't judge me), realising that main was enough time to restealth in for a druid, and the same with cyclone: before the patch, I was one of the few players who had the restealthing stunlock down to a T, resulting in flawless 1on1 victories.
Also when I played against a mate of mine, as a lvl 65 hunter, where he was lvl 70 epic geared, my survival/marksmanship spec focused on continually stunning and aimed shot critting landed me loads of easy PvP wins, again before they patched aimed shot to an instant cast... Bastards...

In Air Rivals, My Igear could (can, I suppose) fly faster than the missiles it shot, so on a long attack run my favourite thing to do would be to stack missiles travelling next to each other, and then when I flew over the enemy they went "huh?", then exploded.

In Global Agenda, with my recon, someone tried to backstab me while I was sniping, I jetpack off, turn while flying and snipe them, even if they're stealthed. Happened a number of times, I can almost feel their 'wtf?'.

And in DotA/League of Legends, every game was essentially this: it's my main competitive genre, and I'm so far unmatched at it. This sounds essentially like a massive boast, but if you're any good, I'd love to play you, the matchmaker is shocking.


Ah... Good times...

 

[Mr.PlanetEater]

Fisticuffs with a Deathclaw at level 5 in Fallout 3, and winning.

 

[Velarus]

Even though this is nothing particularly tough, I've never felt such a badass feeling in a game.

My first time playing Shadow of the Colossus was pretty amazing for me. Even though every colossus gave me an incredible feeling of triumph. After dying several times, frustrated and stumped about how to kill the first one, I finally toppled him. I'll never forget being on the edge of my chair, epic soundtrack playing, nervously watching my grip meter...awesome!

Man...I might have to go plug that in. Great gaming experience that I'll never forget.

I have had too many moments to count I'm afraid

 

[Father Tunde]

My first online game on Black Ops: Jungle, Team Deathmatch. Kills: 17, Deaths: 0.

May not seem like much to some, but I'm normally a Kills: 8, Deaths: 1 sort of guy, so I was very pleased with myself.

 

[Beat14]

I was playing BFBC 2 recently on one of the new maps, I think it was heavy metal, I was in a tank as the driver and main gunner whilst we got harassed by a helicopter. Swivel main gun round, and BOOM got it in one. It was doing a strafing run so it did make me pretty awesome(/lucky). It was a nice sight to see it fall out of the air, and get the 2 kills lol.

 

[Cartman2nd]

On Super Street Fighter IV at a friends house. We were both at a flimsy amount of health, he jumps in with the intent to kick me. I called it, Focus absorbed it and I won the match.

Epic.

Half Life 2: Episode 2

This was a bit after you leave the mines and get to the circular arena part. The Antlion Guard pops out, and shit gets real. I shoot everything at the girl: Shotgun Pellets, bullets, grenades, everything I had. Then I ran out of ammo in reserve and in the safe area. So I tried throwing rocks and such at it with the Gravity Gun to little success. Hp below 40, I decide to go kamikaze on it.

I take out my crowbar, charge out there, and let my inner matador take over. Every charge I skillfully dodge, getting a few slams in every time. Then she charges into the elevator and becomes stunned. I take this chance to sprint over, and crowbar her ass to death. Then she dies while I was at 10 health.

I felt epic to say the least.

 

[Alon Shechter]

I used the Black Hawk Down custom sound on ArmA2 as a Black Hawk crashes straight into an enemy hind.

 

[jamez525]

My first time playing Rainbow Six Vegas at a friends house.
I was doing pretty badly, so my friend told me to "go though that door and kill everybody", just because watching me fail was apparently quite funny. I proceeded to massacre everybody in the room with perfect headshots. I still don't really know how I did it...

I know I would feel pretty beast if I'd just done that. Kick ass.

OT: Well, just a day or two ago, I was playing Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones. It was the night-time defense mission, where I just had to survive X turns. The southern entrance to the castle was being assaulted, but it was a narrow opening, so it was slow going. I moved my lvl 15 assassin (Colm, if you care) down and my vision expanded -- revealing enemy units in every single space as far as I could see. And not any pansy units -- paladins, rangers, bishops, great knights, and sword masters. I was like "shit, I'll never survive!" So on the next turn I cleared a space with my great knight and moved Colm to the front. On the next turn, they all swarmed him. He dodged every single attack except those by the sword masters. He straight blew through 15 or 20 units. He broke his silver sword half-way through and kept going with iron. It came down to the ranged units, which he couldn't counter attack. He dodged like 4 more attacks (all of which had like 30-40% accuracy) only to be taken down by the single last available unit. I was so inspired I charged with my other units... and then some more enemies spawned and killed a main character, so I lost.

...hey, I was cheering.

Oh, and there was the time when I was like 8 that I beat my 16 year old cousin and his friend at Goldeneye. I felt mucho badass.

In Gears 2 getting I think 3 chainsaw kills in a row against actual people on blood drive without getting hit. Also shooting a Torque Bow into a smoke screen and hitting the leader.

 

[thebreadbinman]

It's not badass, and everyone's done it, but best moment in a game:
Catching your first Pokemon on Pokemon Red.
No one outside of my generation will ever understand that feeling.

Also, driving around a map on halo 3 in a warthog with 2 mates and not dying once.
We were unstoppable.
