Your most badass kill in a game

Goldeneye as well . I planted a mine on a door at the top of some stairs. The enemy soldier comes out but the mine doesn't go off till he closes said door. He arced upwaqrds before landing.

Desert Combat, Capture the Flag mode.

There I am, sitting in an artillery piece playing fire support. The word comes in over the radio - our flag has been captured.

I look to the side, and I see flying away from our base, an enemy chopper with our flag.

It's an impossible shot. Flying obliquely away from me, and already miles away. I can barely see it. One shot, and one shot only.

I angle the cannon up and fire on instinct.

Direct hit.

Chopper explodes, flag drops. Chat explodes with "WTF?!?!"

Obviously not a Paladin.

I once soloed High Chief Winterfall (level 59) and his Shaman guard (57) some time around level 56-57. Just because I could.

My most badass kill has still got to be the time I got a shotgun headshot from across the map in CS_office and killed the one T left. He had an AWP.

There was much disbelief that I somehow won a range war with a shotgun.

Two instances that I can think of recently.

First off, this might be classed as lame, but I used a kit in COD4 that carried an M60 and a Barret .50. On the "Bog" map, our UAV spotted two guys through the wall in the southern end of the map. I had no grenades of any type, and I had run out of ammo for my M60 and it would take too long to reload.

Hip firing my .50 as fast as I could I killed two guys. I was then called a 'spray noob', which was funny from a guy who earlier was doing non stop bunny hopping.

Another one was on Crossfire. Firing through a wall with a Dragunov and killed two with a single bullet.

Halo 2: I once drove a Ghost up close to someone because they had the rocket launcher reloading. They sidestepped the attempt to just smash into them so I got out because of the likelihood of imminent rocket death and I think I had a fairly decent weapon loaded. I had parked the Ghost on an incline so as I got out and moved away I turned around to see the Ghost falling down the hill eventually crushing my foe.

You want to solo stuff, roll Warlock.

I remember soloing both of the bigass Pitlords in Shadowmoon Valley, kiting Fel Reaver into Thrallmar, and 3-manning Durn the Hungerer in Nagrand.

There was also this time where I repeatedly killed this Alliance Hunter and his lowbie-Priest buddy just south of Honor Hold, because they were flagged and trying to steal my kills. Through careful management of fears, line of sight, and their sheer stupidity, I must have gotten about 50 honor over the course of 5 minutes. My particularly favorite kill in that batch was when I was low on health, I mounted up and flew into a tree to let my mana regen. The hunter ressurects at his body just out of my range, summons his pet, then mounts up and flies straight for my tree. He drops onto the branch, sends his pet after me, and starts blasting away. I fire off a Death Coil at him, and as he's running around, he drops off the tree and dies from the falling damage.

Another good kill was while I was doing the SSO dailies in the Throne of Kil'jadeen. I'm running around killing the fire elementals, but since I'm affliction specced, I don't do damage right away. Anyways, this Alliance clothie starts stealing my kills by getting a little bit damage onto them right before my dots tick, so the mob gets tapped by them instead of me, so I mount up and go closer to the throne to get my kills. She follows me, but I don't attack anything, so she starts killing the mobs by herself. As soon as she taps a Fire elemental, I fear it into Doom Lord Kazzak and run away as fast as I can. He comes barreling down and 1-shots her, then turns around and runs back to his throne.

Let's see, at one point while playing HALO 3 online with my friend (the one who actually owns the game), I became a bit of a mini-legend among his usual group when, in a slayer game, I racked up 15 kills in a single life, 10 of which were the slayer targets (This streak, alas, ended, when I became the target.)

I've got loads of badass kills in fighting games. Usually involving Dan Hibiki and Dan-esque characters.

It's not really all mine, but a few weeks back playing COD4 Bloc, I headshot, from the main doorway of one building, two guys who had appear in the doorway of the opposing building. M14, silencer, iron sights. One of them had martyrdom on and auto dropped a 'nade. Two more of his team members walked right in to it.

It was fucking sweet.

In Halo 3, I once headshot a bunnyhopper at the peak of his jump. I saved the replay of it, and a bunch of other kills from that game. I wish more Xbox 360 games have the ability to save gameplay videos.

Jade Falcon · Post by **Jade Falcon** » 2008-07-21 12:56pm

Another funny one was the map...showdown is it? The one that looks like the Palace of Al Asad. I threw a grenade basically blind over to the other side. What must have happened was that it hit an enemy claymore, detonated it, and killed two guys because I got my multi claymore challenge, finished counter claymore, and got my challenge which involved causing a chain reaction of explosions.

I've been playing a lot of Rainbow Six Vegas 2 recently on co-op. In most games, I'm known to love pistols, be rather inaccurate and also be incredibly lucky.

A personal favourite was walking down a corridor, when four guys with SMGs rush out at me. I fired blindly and dropped three with headshots, ducked behind a door frame to evade the return fire and got the third guy in the head. Same level, I kept killing people firing the Arctic Warfare from the hip. Damn thing's a freaking lance.

There's always GoldenEye for my favourite kill of all time though. I was playing it on Turbo and One Hit Kill mode, armed with my lovely DD44. One of the other guys runs at me and empties his entire (Certainly not an)AK magazine at me, while I fire three shots. I walk away.

There's also Super Smash Bros. Brawl, where there will inevitably be some poor soul standing next to an Explosive Box that just spawned. As Link, you just pull out a bomb and lob it over. There's a moment of confusion, and moment of clarity, a moment of profanity, and then a big ol' fireball.

Scottish Ninja · Post by **Scottish Ninja** » 2008-07-21 03:48pm

This incident wasn't a single kill, but there was one time two friends and I were playing Team Tactical of CoD4. Anyway, we get Domination on Strike, but one of my friends has to go to the bathroom and doesn't spawn for the entire match. My friend goes for his ACOG Dragunov, I go for the standard M21, and proceeded to completely destroy the enemy. There were multiple instances where I got rushed with a shotgun and won the resulting fight at point-blank range - while still using the sight.

The resulting bitching after the match was just a bit gratifying.

PeZook · Post by **PeZook** » 2008-07-21 04:32pm

I was playing paintball with a group of friends. We were advancing on the enemy team's flag, when I got under fire.

I dropped down into a ditch. There's a guy firing at me constantly, with the balls bursting everywhere. Not having a better idea, I stuck out my marker with one hand and fired a few shots blind.

...I hit him straight in the face.

Lord Pounder · Post by **Lord Pounder** » 2008-07-21 04:50pm

I remember back in the good old days playing Lineage II. This MMO was PVP from day 1 and it really brought out the asshole in people. Some Elf was standing outside the Ork starting area with a 8 million adena bow, one shot killing n00bs. Head on I was fucked too, he did killed me a few times when I tried to ask him WTF he was playing at, though he was boasting loudly that he'd ebayed the money to buy the bow, real class act. I took a risk. I circled right round the outskirts of the town and managed to sneak up behind him. I'm happy to say I beat the living shite out of him and as a bonus he dropped the bow! I took great pleasure in looting it and flogging it in the main city.

My sole flukey as as a killer whale badass kill was in BF2 SP - there was a helicopter I had either been trying to steal from the enemy base or running away from, I forget which, but the gist was that I turned around and took a half arsed sniper shot at it. A few seconds later, the helicopter falls out of the sky and I get a kill - it surprised the hell out of me, I'd actually managed to shoot the damn pilot! I didn't even know you could!

Rye · Post by **Rye** » 2008-07-21 06:44pm

Oh man, where to start...

Okay, Goldeneye, perhaps my finest moment in deathmatch history, since time was running out, the only players were my bro and I, and I've always considered him better at Goldeneye, like it was his territory or something. I always felt at a disadvantage, playing the game since I never really played it that fluidly. FPS on the PC? No question I ruled those. Goldeneye always felt like a "boy's club" of my bro and his mates, however.

This was the "coming of age" moment. One on one deathmatch in the bunker, pistols, license to kill, autoaim off. We'd decided to have a "best of 3" tournament of sorts in the archives, aztec and then the bunker. I won the first, he won the second, everything to play for.

There was no holding back. We were both in fear of losing face or pissing the other one off so much a fight would break out. All of the kills were skill personified, the kind of play only goldeneye veterans could really appreciate; shooting through doors with the magnum, shooting through the little windows in doors, opening those sliding doors from one side then he shuts it from the other side, so you have a "tug of war" with the door, never knowing when it will finally open and you have the opportunity to shoot.

The penny drops. I'm in the room with the big chrome sphere thing, he's coming from the main base towards me, then he spots me watching for him. He starts hiding beyond the stairs using the wall as cover. I'm using my favourite gun, the dd4 dostovei, he's using the silenced pp7. A deadly game of cat and mouse. We both realise we know PRECISELY what the other is thinking, and we laugh, as both of us play it smart and leave it to the other to make the first move. The warning siren thing that announces the end of the match starts going. We're both on the exact same score.

I take aim, pointing at the area he'll have to come from, he's aiming at where I'll have to come from. It's like that bit in reservoir dogs where they're all pointing guns at one another. We watch one another's screens. I release the aim so it looks like I'm going to move. He does likewise, I shoot reflexively, and he walks into the exact path the bullet was travelling. Flukiest shot ever. I had no reason to believe that was the precise moment he was going to move, and in a normal situation I wouldn't have made that shot. Down he goes like a sack of shit. I do what we always do and shoot the corpse until the time runs out, to "make sure he's dead". He reflexively, involuntarily shouts that I cheated.

P2 wins.

The only badass moments I can think of that come close to that were on Quake 3 when I was 1337 and could do air-to-air rocket frags from the hip.

CaptHawkeye · Post by **CaptHawkeye** » 2008-07-21 06:52pm

I killed a whole enemy team in WiC with a nuke. *Not* shooting at the spawn or even a flag. I got everything. Their tanks, their dudez, even their choppers. I saw my team was losing, but hadn't realized the whole time I had built up a piss load of TA. (I was playing infantry and doing very well that day.) So I just saw some tanks, fired a nuke at them, and apparently got very lucky.

Next thing I know I filled the kill charts. We took over every flag on the map and didn't see a single enemy until long after my team had basically secured the whole map and turned the game. Yes, I have teh replayz.

DarthShady · Post by **DarthShady** » 2008-07-21 06:58pm

Running sideways and scoring a headshot with a Luger. The target was a soldier firing an MG42 through a very small hole. I was about 10 meters away. This was a very long time ago, the game was MOHAA. It kinda stuck with me. As for something more recent it would have to be BF2. I was playing with some friends on the map that has a big crane(it's been awhile). My friend was a sniper and he used the tower as a sniping position while I was watching his back. We got surrounded. There were at least six guys coming in for the kill and I was short on ammo. So I called in an artillery barrage. They all died quite spectacularly. Good times.

SANDHOG in Scorched earth, Between 3 kills and ungodly fratracide, explosions, and the AI not buying parachutes flaw. I suceeded in killing off every tank on the screen including myself....

Forgotten Hope 1 for Battlefield 1942
So many great kill streaks to list but I have one good memory.

At the helm of the Fletcher Destroyer VS a IJN:Yamato unlike in regular Battlefield the FH Yamato has a much closer to accurate weapons loadout(The BF Yamato has two sets of linked turrets and four count em four AA guns in two linked sets) Meanwhile the FH Yamato has Six spots, Six heavy gun turrets, eighteen AA light AA turrets and ten heavy AA turrets, fully manned it's a complete engine of destruction and can put a Destroy down in one shot.

So facing off against this behemoth I sneak in behind him as he duels the HMS:Prince of Wales and go for the ram, his ship is fully manned(Six people) as it's the Japanese team's last spawn point. Meanwhile I have just myself. I make the ram and thanks to wonky BF physics I start slowly flipping the Yamato as I pour point blank 5 inch shots into his underside as he can't engage me due to being on a 30 degree tilt because my ship is pushing his across the ocean.

Well I get two thirds of the Yamato down before it free's itself puts one shot into me and I start sinking, having no other option I bail out and swim to the Yamato and board her. Cue a five minute long dance-fight later which ends with player Captaining the Yamato both in the ocean as the Yamato sinks(B-26 bombed it) and swimming for the same landing craft.

I make it there first, kindly lower the ramp to pick up the enemy player then as he swims towards me I rev the engine and use him as a speed-bump ahh the swearing.

CaptHawkeye · Post by **CaptHawkeye** » 2008-07-21 07:12pm

I had a similar experience with POW on Midway Bean.

I basically ran around the map killing lots of things and dieing maybe once. Particularly because I had 3 other guys riding along who were all engineers. Thus securing my survival thanks to excellent damage control! I beat the Yamato 3 times and sunk their carrier twice before I got jumped by a sub, bombed, and attacked by Yamato *again*. I killed all of them except the sub before I went down. Killing sprees are fun stuff. Especially when you do them with 30,000 tons of steel compensation.

Team Fortress Classic playing a demoman on 2fort. I launched an enemy medic in the air with my grenade launcher, then I stood below him and beat him to death with my crowbar before he hit the ground. I also managed to time a detpack as he was launching from our fort to cap the flag.

Later on in that match an enemy Heavy managed to get in our base and was camping the first floor hallway between the respawns. As he was gunning us down he ran out of ammo and didn't think to switch to his shotgun, so our entire team switched to crowbars and beat him down.

Ahhh... The good old days.

Enigma · Post by **Enigma** » 2008-07-21 09:18pm

In Starfleet Academy I replayed the scene in ST:TWoK in which the Enterprise was duking it out with the Reliant. Spock was saying that he was looking for the Reliant's prefix codes when I decided to speed up and get a closer shot at her. I didn't give a damn about the codes since I was doing a pretty good job at bashing the Reliant. Then all of a sudden the Reliant stopped and it was too late for me to stop in time, so at full impulse I rammed the Reliant at the exact moment it was going to warp. Funny thing was, is that by ramming the Reliant, the only part of Kahn's ship to warp was the nacelles while the rest of the ship just drifted. THEN Spock said that he had the prefix codes.

I loved that game.

Team Fortress. I don't know the name of the map but I knew it took place in a desert valley and if you didn't know what you were doing, you'd end up running the gauntlet to get to the opponent's base. I played as a spy and managed to get to the other side and pretended to be dead in a dark corner of a room that was used by the opposing side to snipe my team. When someone entered, they go straight for the open area where they could safely snipe. Then I'd get up, go right behind him and knife him. Then I'd go back and wait for the next victim.
