First Person Shot My Foot Off!!!

Cal Wright · Post by **Cal Wright** » 2003-04-18 02:30am

LoL!!! Made you look!!!

Alright, to keep things clear, please tell us what First Person Shooter you are in, and what amazing shot you pulled off. Maybe even a CTF run.

Quake III Dreamcast edition.
Alright, I was known for slaughtering the masses on the Dreamcast Online when it came to Quake III. No one I played around town could even touch me. Well, where do I look for competition? To my cousin Stampede? Fuck naw! I said competition you peons. Bots. Extreme Bots. Xero Bots, that use around the corner rail shots. Okay, tossed in a Tank Jr. Capture the Flag. Stampede and I, versus of course Xero and Tank Jr. The map was the one that has flight in single player. Has like a crescent platform, and a pit underneath it. Two jumpers on either side. Alright. Stampede likes to dick me over and shoot me into the pit. We're so damn good, we're like twenty points up. Okay, I just run and jump off the top to save time. Stampede is watching the flag, and he shoots a rocket off trying to, *sigh* hit me. Son of bitch misses by a fucking mile. "Hey, Stampede," I say, "That rocket isn't goint to hit anythi...". Wham!!! Right around the corner, not INCHES of pixelated space in front of me, was Tank Jr. Meeting the buisness end of Stampede's ballistic weaponary. Did that automated asshole go up in a blaze of glory.

In quake 3, on q3dm19, I was playing with bots.

Remember that long jump between the main portion of the map and that small island where you can get the quad? Well, I fired a rocket off into space between those two jumpers. Well, a bot just hit one of the jumpers and went sailing right into my rocket. It died.

Precognition. MWAAHAHAHAAA!!!!

I recall in an AvP torunament at Gencon late one evening.....I racked up a pretty impressive number of kills despite a broken strafing finger.....mostly to crys of -
"Who the fuck keeps puting grenades everywhere!?!"

When it comes to grenades, I am God. No doubt about it. I am absolutely uber when it comes to arcing, projectile, explosive weaponry.

For example, in a very little known game called Hexen 2: ther was an enemy about fifty yards up ahead. I took a grenade and tossed it high into the air. The grenade sailed, arced through the sky and hit the enemy square on his feet. BOOM. He died.

On Natural Selection, I bounced a grenade off a wall and into a lower level. BOOM. Three enemies dead in one shot.

In quake2, me and one another guy were playing coop through the whole game. We were under a ledge and on the ledge was an enemy. I walked out a bit into the open, threw the grenade straight up so that it arced BACKWARDS. The grenade hit the enemy in the face and killed him.

Yes, I am the god of grenades. Fear me. MWAAHAHAHAHAAAA

*chuckles* Due to my crippled strafing finger, I was mostly sneaking about hiding and leaving vast fields of prox-det grenades behind me.....that and rainging ping-pong death down tight corridors....

Ah, it was fun indeed.

Saved my ass, my ass! Ass. I had the gauntlet primed and ready.

Alright, this is why I hope six months isn't long enough to fuck with my rail skills in Quake. I have to bitch slap Ein.

Quake III

This is the map (I couldn't give a flying fuck about the names. But please, post if you know them.) for capture the flag, again, that has the two doors. With windows you can jump through. Most of you probably know. They do have this map on the Dreamcast, so my lapse of play time was augmented by this. However, this one occured like last august, on my PC. The newbs on my side were pissing me off. Our flag was going NOWHERE. As long as I was online, it was a stationary object. Thier flag however, was constantly picked up, however promptly returned within seconds. They probably never made it out the door. Alright folks, this is were the shit gets deep and my ego inflates. I call my team out. "Hey guys, watch the flag. I'm going to show you how to play this game." Ein, you'll probably be familiar with this map. I'm up top by the flag. Someone comes cruising in on the upper platform. Frag. I drop down, some asshat comes through the door. Frag. Oh shit, one of my newbs is in the way. Pull the trigger, send him flying across the hall. "Hey fucker move! And you from the other team..." Frag. Jump through the window, because people try to snipe the door. No sweat. One guy goes low. Frag. Someone tries to cut me off. Dodge left. Frag. Window trick from blue team. Frag. In I go. Take the bottom path. Around the corner. Frag. Look up to my right. Frag. Jumpers in instagib rail arena capture the flag are suicidal at times. Especially when the jumper is right in front of the flag that's being protected. Luckily the only non-my team newb in the game was the guy guarding the flag. Frag. Grab the flag. Walk backwards, fall down. Midflight look up and right. Frag. Turn the corner. Frag. Jump through the window backwards. Other team is pursuing. Frag. Frag. Dodge. Dodge. Frag. Look back. Someone trying to be me home. Frag. Through the window. Newb team couldn't hold our flag. Low road again. Here's our flag. Frag. Return flag. Make jumper. Stop dead in my tracks. Rail shot by my head. Capture flag. Dickwad has balls, I give him that. Frag. "Alright guys. That's how you play the game. Fetch."

Goldeneye *LMAO* I had placed a mine at the top of some stairs and then this idiot runs over it *LOL* he is flung into the air over the stairs and slams into the wall

Shinova · Post by **Shinova** » 2003-04-18 03:14am

Speaking of goldeneye:

Me and two other friends were playing on one map with license to kill, and pistols only. Final score was:

Friend 1 - 0

Friend 2 - 0

Me - 20

Golden-eye, 3vs1, grenade launchers. Me against three guys that had a hard time avoiding friendly fire casualties.

Keevan and I back in our school days, took on the entire computing department at quake 2...at least 12-2 odds...we owned them all.....hyperblasters and railguns have a hellava lot of style...especially when opponents don't strafe

Post by **Lagmonster** » 2003-04-18 08:18am

Ooooh! A bragging rights thread! *snif* You guys make me so...proud!

I have played a lot of FPS games over the past number of years since DOOM. My favourite moments were undoubtably in Half-Life DM, where in the course of hectic anarchy, I would have some moments of having to respawn every five seconds, and I would have some moments of dominating the map to the blessed cries of "No fair, I had lag!" and "Bastard, I was typing!" and "Who let the cheater onto the server?".

But my favourite moment was Unreal Tournament. Capture the Flag. A friend's LAN party. A flag runner about to cap our flag, running like a demon, almost no opposition in sight, a few seconds from his home base flag spot and victory for his team, and me with only my pistol and the teleporter thingy. I threw a hail-mary, from-the-hip teleporter from a tower halfway across the map. The thing arched like a pro and bounced to a halt right before his toes. One desperate pound on the trigger later and he was a small telefragged pile of gibs and our flag was homeward bound. Then, to the cheers of teammates, I merrily skipped home with the enemy flag.

That was a MOMENT, pals.

Medal of Honor: Spearhead, the Berlin map.

A few from this map...

First, peeking through a window with a sniper rifle, I see an Allied soldier sniping at my troops from another building. Bang, killed him.

Then sneaking around the ground near a bridge, I have a teammate just in front of me, firing his machine gun at a pair of Allied soldiers on the bridge... I sniped them both and got the kills for me

Finally, same time out, I went around the building where I sniped the sniper, and had a clear line of fire at the enemy's Hq

Then someone popped up from around the corner and killed me

aphexmonster · Post by **aphexmonster** » 2003-04-18 11:15am

I was playing Outtrigger ( FPS for Dreamcast ) 4 bots, and myself on some sort of ghetto like level. I was on a higher level than the other bots and i jumped off a platform to get to the same floor as one of the oncomming bots. The same time i show a rocket to the bottom right of my screen. I came down a bit faster than the rocket, and when i landed i had a perfect view of a bot comming around the corner to meet my rocket face first

... sometimes its just better to be lucky than good.

I've had a few. Quake 3, Various Flavors of CTF (I LOVE CTF!!!!!!)

A month and a half ago, Quake 3 Instagib CTF, map Q3CTF1. I was (CENSORED: Sorry guys!) and I was on fire!! I got *7* Impressives in a row, then got railed by a giant blue eyeball. Respawned into what I thought was the depths of Hell. Turns out I was back at my flag platform and there was a FURIOUS battle going on. For a split second, all I saw was fire and gibs. Then I saw it. THE FUCKING FLAG! The damn Flag carrier got fragged right in my face and when I respawned, I picked up the flag without knowing it. I take 1 step forward, Game Over. The score was 7-7 Cap Limit 8. Turns out I was the ringer. Holy fuck... I typed in "WTF?" and touched off a chorus of "ROTFLMAO!!!!11"s. Needless to say, I decided to log off that server on the next round.

I was at the Clan <-gLu-> OSP ICTF server, map Q3W2. I was on the top catwalk in the Red Base defending, and 5 Smurfs (Blue Guys) came out of the tunnel leading onto the Catwalk, and headed away from me toward our flag. I fired three quick Rail Shots and popped ALL FIVE SMURFS!!! Two Double Railz in a row, and another Rail to finish off the last one! The Smurfs learned a powerful lesson not to bunch up all together when assaulting an enemy base...

And a Quake 2 funny (Not CTF, this is strictly TGOD).

Quad+Haste+HyperBlaster+Cable-Connex+Crowded-Level-Fulla-56Kers=PHUN!!!!!

Quake 3, Corkscrew mod against my friend... I beat him like 2 to 40, without scoping in at all. I've got good reflexes

TFC, playing Well... I just joined in, and was sniper. Ran onto the Sniper Deck, and saw about 5 snipers aiming at me. 20 seconds later, all of them died due to headshots...

Of course, they weren't exactly Godlike, but they weren't noobs either.

Companion Cube · Post by **Companion Cube** » 2003-04-18 12:57pm

Medal of Honour, on the Southern France Map, I managed to pistol-whip four Nazis in a row. They were all firing at my team-mates who were doing a frontal assault, so they never heard the *Thwack* noises....when my allies got there, it was just me standing next to this pile of dead bodies...

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2003-04-18 01:02pm

Fucking invalid session.

Suffice to say, I'm at my peak in JK2: JO as a Jedi Sniper. My two most defining moments are: 1 shot, 2 kills and the absolutely insane 180 spin point-blank headshot against a charging lightsaber wielding maniac.

I'll give details later. Maybe.

SirNitram · Post by **SirNitram** » 2003-04-18 01:06pm

If we're bragging: Tribes, Shifter Mod on the server.

I want you to imagine something. You've decided to try the Shifter Mod. You've got your Sniper suit, because you love sniping, and sniping makes you l33t. You've set up on a hilly map, not far from the enemy base. The other team, you hear, is mostly made up of FATASS: A group of Heavy-wearing guys who love to use aerial APC's to drop in on enemy bases and cause havoc. With this in mind, you have determined it's time to shoot down some APC's.

No APC's come. As you advance up the hill, you are floored as a half-dozen suits of Juggernaught(The heaviest armour in Shifter, literally unable to jumpjet, and carrying WMD's) armour Ski across the rise and accelerate past you, much faster than your tiny armour can run, before rocketing over the rise towards your base.

Turning back around, you notice one of them isn't good at Skiing. He's hopping up and down and not picking up speed. You aim your sniper rifle coolly, knowing you'll get at least one..

And the sniper shot bounces off the armour's shield system. You don't even get a second shot before the swarm of God's Hammer missiles blast you apart.

SirNitram strikes again, even if he can't Ski.

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2003-04-18 01:18pm

Ah yes, and I forgot about Tribes (or rather, Tribes 2).

I loved the Beowulf Tank. Piloting it was a dream. I didn't even need a gunner to rack up the most kills on a server. It was beautiful. The Beowulf Bellyflop was feared and respected by my friends, and they all knew to run the hell away when I came along. On Archipeligo, I've even managed to kill a Shrike which was flying along near my base by swatting it out of the sky with the underside of my tank.

Shrike: Haha, I'll zap Hotfoot something good! He doesn't have a gunner, and I'm up here in the air! He can't touch me!
Hotfoot: Hey! That tickles! Knock it off!
Shrike: I'll kill you, Hotfoot! Just...hold...STILL!
Hotfoot: Man, I'm warning you, cut that shit out before you piss me off.
Shrike: What are you going to do about it, huh? Eat hot plasma!
Hotfoot: You asked for it.
Shrike: Huh? Where'd he go?
Hotfoot: Yo fugly, look up!
Shrike: WTF?
CRUNCH
*Hotfoot has added a fresh coat of Shrike to his Beowulf!
*Hotfoot has killed an enemy vehicle!
Everyone who was watching: OMG/WTF/ROFL/LMAO/Holy shit!

Pity they toned down the hovercraft water catapult effect in a later patch. That was awesome.

Yet another would-be flag capper is about to get intimately familiar with the front bumper of my tank.

SirNitram · Post by **SirNitram** » 2003-04-18 01:22pm

Never played Tribes 2, but it sounds like a Beowulf is second only to the Juggernaught for catching serious air.

BTW, I managed to Ski twice. The first time down classic Murphy: Having succeeded in Skiing, I failed to stop before flying into my opponents(Heavily mined) base. The second was closer to Anime: I'm the only one defending, and here comes an air vehicle I can't quite aim at. I pick up speed in a desperate ploy, careen through the air in what must have been a parabolic arc, and as the pilot is typing "WTF?!?" because a suit of Heavy armour is coming at his little aircraft high, high up, I shoot him full of Phalanx cannon at point blank.

In Goldeneye, I am GOD with a rocket launcher.

I was playing against someone a few years ago who, quite simply, played this game 24-7. I go up against him with automatic weapons, he kicks my ass.
Ok, my turn, I pick Rocket Launcher as weapon, let him pick the level, he picks one I've never been to before, 10 minutes later I've slaughtered the poor sap.

Another time I was playing against my bro with throwing knives, I had about a pixel of him in my sights from a good distance away and I pegged the bastard right in the head.
