OWNED IN THE FACE Game Moments!

Halo 2, Slayer match in the successor to Blood Gulch. I'm on foot, with the Beam Sword out, and one of the other players is on a Ghost. So I'm out in the open, and he's speeding towards me, obviously intending to splatter me over the ground. At the last second, I manage to lock on to him, and lunge forward, hoping I don't die. There's a big flash, and I realize that I'm undamaged. I turn around, and see the wreckage of the Ghost. Apparently, my attack hit the Ghost instead of the pilot, but since I was locked on, the Ghost blew up anyway, giving me the kill. EDIT: It should be noted that the Ghost was in near perfect condition before I lunged. It wasn't sparking or anything indicating imminent destruction.

Halo 2, Juggernaught mode. Juggernaught mode is where one guy starts as the Juggernaught, and he's the only one who can score. If you're not the Juggernaught, the only way to score is to kill the Juggernaught and become the Juggernaught, then go on a rampage. The Juggernaught has an Overshield by default. I start out as the Juggernaught, and there's three or four other guys in the game. I manage to find the Beam Sword and start my rampage. It's up to 20 kills, and 15 kills into the match, one of the other guys jumps into a Warthog and tries to run me over. I jump out of the way, and before he can drive away to try again, I climb into the turret and start blasting away at the other players. I didn't score any kills in the turret, but it was funny as hell. I wound up ending that match without dying.

Well, now that I've been encouraged, I'll tell a few more.

Galactic Battlegrounds
2 vs 2
My cousin and I played online against each other a lot on this game. Early on in his career on this game he learned the might of the Empire. He had decided to hit me early, hard and keep comming. This was a virtual Ron Jeremy attack. He builds depots and shit outside my main stronghold in an attempt to kick my ass. Luckily I kept him at bay. During this time on the far side of my territory I have my factories working double time. I slowly gather everything up into the shuttles. (i.e. about 40 AT ATs). I fly down to his area which looks like feudel England complete with like lvl 1 walls he never upgraded. So when he thinks he has the upper hand I msg him and tell him he should keep some guys back. Right then I dumped my entire payload on top of him. After that I marched right up the map and finished him off.

Halo 2
Juggernaught with friends
Never played the Juggs match before. So as it's explained to me, the game starts. I have the sword, and I ain't it. So I find the best player we have, and he's moving along. I plan to go ahead and kill him so it will buy me some time. Well thing is, the worst player was the juggernaught. He goes into the corridor on Ivory Tower were the Rocket launcher is. My friend kills him. Then I assasinate him with the sword. No points yet. In this version, the more you kill the faster you get. I was so fast, our best guy who's a hella sniper couldn't get more then one shot on me in a pass in the open and I won 20-0. LoL!!!

A headshot from the Scout always does more than 150 damage through helmet armor, hence it always kills instantly. You would know this if you were smart enough to check up on it. I use the Scout a lot, and I get a lot of headshots. I have never hit someone in the head and failed to kill them with that shot. I have never had to hit anyone more than two times in the torso. If you experienced otherwise, guess what? You fucking well missed. Use the console to check on your stats.

I don't use the AWP or autosnipers because they're not fun; they require less skill. Getting a bunch of kills in a round with a scout, pump shotgun, desert eagle, TMP, whatever, that's fun because you actually worked for it. With some other weapons, it's just point and click. I could play Space Invaders if I wanted that kind of game.

Plus, the fact that the Scout has a lousy accuracy. It makes much more of a challenge to kill someone with it. And a n00b/wannabe who's got himself killed with it (mostly if it wasn't a headshot) will bitch about, until I Copy+Paste the stats from the console. Then they'll shut up and suck it up.

This isn't total owning, but it is something I am quite proud of in my fairly lackluster gaming career.

Game: Halo
Map: Sidewinder
What Happened: I'm an annoying Halo player. I'm the guy who jumps into a Warthog or a Ghost and go careening around the map like a madman. Unlike the usual vehicle guy, I shy away from the Scorpion, because it's too easy for the sniper rifle whores to hit the driver, IMHO.
Anyway, on to the story. My dorm floor freshman year is having a tournament. 2vs2 games. My turn, the map loads, and I immediately hop into the Warthog, proceeding to drive around running people over. One of the opposition got particularly annoyed because I ran over him about 3 or 4 times in a couple minutes, so he attached a plasma grenade to the Warthog. Thing explodes, car flips over. My guy survives, falling out when the car lands upside-down. I immediately flip it over, jump back in, and continue my joyride until a couple rockets finally took me out.

Medic · Post by **Medic** » 2005-02-01 08:37am

OMFG! My memory serves me well for once.

Starcraft (I love this game)

The map is Hunters (it's 8 people and during school -- you need instant satisfaction so good maps like Lost Temple aren't preferred). The seldom used game types is used and we opt for sudden death. In sudden death, if you lose a command-center-type (CC) structure (read: also hatchery, evolutions of hatch and nexus) you die and all of your units and buildings self destruct in a most gratuitous fashion. This INCLUDES(!) any expansions. ANY CC is vulnerable.

Anyway, this type of game is only ffa. I decide to go nukes and turtle with 3 CC's. One for comsat and 2 for nuke although I'm waiting for money for the second nuke to come online. I also upgrade my science vessels (SV). Anyway, one of the good players on the map builds more conventionally and kills 2 people close to him -- I'm on the other side of the map. Well, his forces come knocking on my door because he knows I always got something up my sleeve. I can't retaliate in any way -- my base is getting schollacked and his nearest CC is a map away.

So I decide to take SOMEBODY down with me and fly a dropship and 2 SV's through a screen of photon cannons this noob erected (this noob was bottom right on the Hunters map.....

). I D matrixed one SV and the dropship and put the SV without energy at point. It died and as the second SV was about to die, I used the last of the energy to EMP the Nexus even as my dropship landed the ghost on the (DROPPABLE!) cliff and died a promp death at the hands of dragoons and photon cannon. Well, even as my base is getting shollacked (it's basically random infantry coming out of barracks which tanks hide behind stage of dying; lol, all SC players know what I mean no doubt

) I let loose the Divine Weapon of my Creator against the shieldless Nexus. The battle back home reaches critical mass... I see the nuke in final descent... my CC dies... this noob's nexus dies... all of my units explode, pop and structures explode... as does this loser's! As the "You have failed to achieve victory!" screen pops up, the explosions of my enemy are frozen in time!

My only regret is that this was not the foe who attacked me. Still, I literally dragged someone in to the bowels of Hell with me! That made my day for a week. God, I'm such an evil prick in SC.

edit: changed "shuttle" to "dropship" -- sheesh, unforgivable, that

Arrow Mk84 wrote:Ah, Goldeneye! That brings back some memories. Namely, one of my friends using nothing but prox-mines in the caverns map. We couldn't even the see the mines. The instant my other friend and eye spawned and took a step, we got blown to hell. After that, for the rest of the day, we hunted him merciless. We even made a game out of seeing who could kill him the most, and we completely ignored each other! Muhahahaha!

Another excellent moment was Conker's Bad Fur Day. I forget the level name (the one with the two fortresses on each side with three fire slits in each, and two platues and bridge going across the middle), but it was a three person free-for-all sniper battle. I'm in one fortress, one friend is in the other fortress and the second friend is in the middle. We see each other the same time, and we all pulled the trigger. Three heads exploded at once! We were rolling on the floor for five minutes after that.

If you have an X-Box, get Conker: Live and Reloaded. I'll take you on any day of the week.

Red Orchestra 3.1, RO_Barakasha.

I'm in a KV1S (aka obsolete deathtrap) and I run into a Panther in the Peninsular cap point while I'm on the russian bank. Both of us are solo'ing in the tanks due to a lack of people on the server.

I park up my tank at an angle to the Panther and we start exchanging fire, most of it bouncing off due to the angle of impact. On about my 4th/5th shot I get a hit in the shot-trap on the front of the turret, blowing it up.

This is not the usual set of cirucmstances, as a good hull hit to the front of the KV1S will destroy it and the frontal weakpoints are pretty small on the Panther. Usually, the best way is to flank, but this was not possible without getting knocked out due to a bridge.

Tanking? Ha got a tanking story for you
(FH Agian)
Map Battle for the Netherlands(WaW 9 custom map), get assigned a Puma(Wheeled tank with armor so thin .50cal MG fire can kill it) excellent speed and an excellent gun

My job? Harras enemy tanking forces as they form up to assult the various flags.
Second round of doing this I get on a SERIOUS steak, several times taking out every single pieace of allied armor(7 tanks) all of which can kill me in one shot and takes me 1-3 shots to kill them.
Got the point were they left with one of the Sherman Firefly's waitied a few seconds behind the rest of the tanks for me to appear from the hills, the trees or any of the nearby ridgelines and rush in, they got me the first time with that trick but I got the sherman the next go around and killed that entire convoy 1 shot 1 kill up along the line.

Final scoure 17 minute match? 56 kills 3 deaths

pwning moment: when I played the first C&C (Tiberian Dawn) with a newbie pal. I kept annihilating his Tiberium Harvester until he cried out, "hey! Don't you have any other target to choose? It's unfair!"

being pwned: First time I played IL-2 Sturmovik. Note that I hadn't been following flightsim reviews for quite a long time when playing Sturmie on the first time. See, I always prefer dynamic campaigns (EF2000), tactical options (Total Air War), and immersive environment (like Jane's F-15 radio chatters) rather than overly realistic flight models, so I've never been a really big fan of Flanker series. So I was completely clueless when buying IL-2 on the first place.

When a scenario placed me on midair, I though it'll just be another piece of cake, Chuck Yeager's Air Combat easy flying, intense dogfight experience. Turned out I was wrong; at the instant I moved my stick around, my Bf-109e completely went into stall. I didn't panic, knew I could easily recover. Wrong again. It kept spinning uncontrolablly until it hit the ground.

Probably the shortest mission I've ever flown in my whole gaming life, without even a single dent from the enemy's bullets.

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2005-02-25 09:00am

In a recent Call of Duty match, I was playing S&D on the Russian team on Pavlov's House. Due to some ill luck I was the last player on my team against 10 Germans.

So.

Of course, I have the phenomenal luck to run into one of the trenches just as five German soldiers are piling out of one of the buildings. Putting the Russian chainsaw that is the PPsh to work I mowed down all five before they got off a shot.

What followed was nail-biting game of cat and mouse as I led five Germans on a wild chase through the map. I dodged a hail of sniper fire, killed a German trying to blow up the antitank guns, killed two Germans on the roof of a building with a German sniper rifle (I was completely thinking "Enemy At the Gates"), and then killed another in a harrowing rooftop shootout.

Then, I'm trying to hunt down the last German, and I round the corner into a trench...and see him staring me straight in the face with a Panzerfaust antitank missle in his hands.

Lightening-quick, my hand snaps forward and hits the "Ctrl" key and my brave Russian hero hits the dirt just as the Panzerfaust screams overhead. I then open up with my submachinegun, only to discover that I'm OUT OF BULLETS. I have my scoped Kar98k, but the German guy has already pulled out his MP-44 and is about to fire. I fire, MISS, sidestep a spray of bullets, fire again, but it's only a glancing shot, and if I don't kill him with the next shot I'm going to have to reload a clip, and I'll be screwed. So before he can draw a bead on me I lunge forward and CLUB HIM TO DEATH with my rifle.

Immediately after felling him the screen fills with the praises of my teammates as I bask in my victory.

This is, incidentally, the only time I have ever been remotely good at Call of Duty.

Wedge · Post by **Wedge** » 2005-02-25 09:33am

Playing Counter Strike.

It was in Aztec, we were 3 Ts playing against 7 CTs.
I tell my team to rush DD (double doors, the wooden door thats leads to bombspot A), of course they don't listen. So i go alone with my ak-47 and step through the door, first i throw a smoke-nade to the right, so the guys at B don't see me. I take cover behind the 3 big stones and look at the wooden door at A, one CT comes out, before the guy can shoot, he is dead.

I think to myself, "nice Headshot". Suddenly i hear the thunder, a quick look to the water "hmmm, nobody there, that means...." *sound of nades and gunfire*. My teammates are killed. "Fucking noobs, told them to come with me" Now i know the CTs crossed bridge. I have the bomb and decide to rush A to plant the bomb, while running one guy starts shooting from outside B, i decide to ignore him and keep running. Mission accomplished.

I am at A planting the bomb. A nade falls just to my side. "FFS 40 hp gone!!!" After planting the bomb i throw my two flashes and my nade to DD. 2 CTs die. "WTF?! Haha, i'm so a lucky bastard." *clicks tab* "ok, 4 guys left one is outside B" Then they start shooting trough the stones i'm hiding at. I take a quick look and one is still at DD while other is running trough the passage.

I hide again while losing constantly hp, i decide to take out the guy that is running. *SPLAT* Again headshot, the guy at DD is comming closer, so i step out and we both start strafing and shooting little bursts "damn it, i can't hit the faggot". So i procede to spray while being ducked and again headshot. Suddenly i hear how somebody picks up a gun behind me, quick change to glock turn arround and i burst the shit out of the guy that just picked up an AWP. I don't even have time to smile cause somebody is shooting at me again, the last ct has a m4 and is running up the ramp from water. I have time to hide behind the stones again. No more bullets in my ak, only a few bullets in my glock and the guy is comming straight to me. I decide to jump on the "sidewalk"behind the stones.

Then the idea. I dropy my glock to water and get my knife out, as planned the glock makes noise "now he should think i'm in water". He procedes to defuse, i come out and knife his ass. "Terrorist win !"

After that some start screaming "wallhack, aimbot or whatever," others just say "nice1" After winning the next round i got kicked.

CoD:UO, Cassino Team Deathmatch. I'm playing on the German side, and the allies have both tanks (Panzer IV and a Sherman), and they're making life friggin horrible for us, and they have us pinned at the Sherman spawn point. I circle around back, up through the allyway and to the top of the three store building on that side, where a panzerfaust is located. I grab it and head to a nearby window. The Panzer is right below me, and the Sherman is to his left, between the ruined building in the center of the plaza and the fruit-shack. I drop from the third story window, behind the Panzer, with four guys surrounding me. I get my panzerfaust shot off - right into the ass of the Panzer, blowing up in a glorious fireball! Half a second later, the Thompsons and BAR from the crowd I jumped into cut me down, but I made a hell of an openning, allowing a team mate to take out the Sherman with a satchal charge.

in Xwing, the mission where you have to recon a fleet with an awing, I ended up taking out the entire fleet which included 3 frigates and a star destroyer. I then played the rest of the game with the goal to kill absolutely everything the Empire threw at me. I would hold off destroying cap ships until I had run through all their waves of fighters. At the end of game, my kill stats were a sight to see. I tried to do the same in TIE Fighter, but had a lot less luck. Even a lowly corvette is quite the challange when you have no shields.

There's an arcade game called Mercs that I played at lot in 1990 at University. One time coming back from a party piss drunk, I decided to try my luck. I pulled up a stool and deposited my quarter. I could barely keep my self balanced on the stool, but I ended up beating the game on that single credit.

Playing BF1942 with the anti-armour kit, I spotted 3 tanks crossing a bridge. I got the lead two with single shots to the rear and then jumped down under the bridge when the third took a bead on me. The tanker jumped out to chase me down and I got him with a couple of pistol shots. I then stole his tank.

Again in BF1942, playing capture the flag, I was in a jeep making a run at the enemy flag. I bailed out of the jeep, grabbed the flag and then jumped back into the jeep while it was still rolling. Outside the base, I lost my ride to a tank shell, but was able to bail out in time. Before the tank could get me, a teammate in a low flying bomber picked me up in the nick of time.

A less noble event in BF1942 was when I was playing a medic in the Berlin map. I went to heal a teammate, but neglected to switch from my submachine gun to my medic's pack. Friendly fire was turned on.

Counter Strike on the map CBBL.

In one round a couple of T's camped in their tower and actually won the round by rushing out at the end and planting the bomb.
Next round half the team camped up there. Naturally us CT's mopped up the few smart people and then moved in to camp the tower. The T's were bragging about how brilliant their tactic was and how they were going to rush and own us.
Me and two other guys just lobbed grenades up there.
BOOM!
7 kills between us (Yes 7 n00bs were sitting in the tower! It was 8 but 1 stood up in the window and was sniped.)
I got 4 of them.

Fucking owned! In the face and several other areas!!!
Only the two wankers who started it did it the next round and they were owned even more.

A while ago i used to play an MMO called Linage 2. So there i was running about the Orc Village becuase my clan had recieved reports of some havy players griefing n00bs when i spot the Dark Elf in question. She's obviously been e-baying money because the 6,000,000 adena ice bow she's using is way above her actual level. She's one shot killing the n00b orcs and generally feeling pretty cocky. So i snuk up behing her and used my stun ability and knocked the shit out of her. What was even nicer was laughing as I looted her bow.

Last night in Counter-Strike: Source on de_dust2 as terrorist I went over above the CT spawn, came around and went back to come up the rear of some CTs who were attacking. Emptied the magazine of a P90 into four CTs. They never saw it coming.
