Epic Gaming Moments

Post by Null_1138 »

Have any memorable gaming moments? Lets hear them.

I was playing CoD4 on my PS3 the other day, the level where you snipe Zakhaev (I think that's how its spelled). It came time to snipe him, and I fired. I got, all in one shot, the guy he was talking to, himself, and a guard behind him. I thought, sick! Then the chopper comes by. and I sniped him. Judging from the splatter on the windshield, I got both pilots. So I got five kills with two shots. I was stoked.

In Call of Duty: World at War for Wii, there was, like, 15 seconds left on the game timer. I was playing on Upheaval as the Russians, and I randomly tossed my two sticky grenades into the air as celebration, at the same location. Before I know it, I see +80. I'd killed everybody on the enemy team! Guess I caught them as they were spawning. At any rate, I just barely called in my recon plane before it ended :P

I threw a random grenade in search and destroy and killed the entire other team. Everyone was like going nuts on the mikes.

Sry to dissapoint you, but I dont think that it is possible to kill both pilot and the gunner with one shot due to simple technical reasons.

As you can see in this pictures the pilot is sitting behind and ABOVE the gunner.

Right, and depending on which pilot you shoot, front or back, their respective windshield will get splattered with blood. What I saw was both windshields covered in it. I could be wrong, but I doubt it even matters. The thing with shooting the chopper was just a waste of time.

Negah, maybe the model of that chopper in the game was different, or maybe it was at a different angle relative to me, IDK.

As for models, it was a Mi-28, shown in the pictures, I have just played it through to make it sure.

As for angle, you are shooting from above so you cant shoot them both.

I was playing Empire:TW yesterday and was defending one of my forts from Indians with militia and Native American auxiliary, outnumbered about 2-and-a-half to 1. Yet I managed to win with a loss of only 33 men (out of around 200 deployed.)

I was playing Halo Wars vs some guy online. He had 2 scarabs and destroyed everything except for one warthog. So I built a base...and then another...and then another...and then I sent 6 - 7 vultures and blew up everything...

I was playing the Halo Trial the other day. I was trying to take the warthog as far through the level as I possibly could. I got to a room with hunters and realized that I only had a few shots in the pistol and a rocket left. There were 2 hunters. So using the pistol, I drew the hunters in next to each other and walked back. Then when they were in a good spot, I rocketed the warthog and flipped it over them, killing them both.

I was playing a remade mod for Half-Life 1, called Heart of Evil: Napalm Edition (it's about zombies in the vietnam war, basically), I was leading three other AI soldiers through an area infested by the undead, vietcongs and rogue troops; so anyway, I glanced around a corner and saw this headless mutant super zombie thing with a rocket launcher -it was crazy, it could reload its RPG in less than three seconds and it was ridiculously resistant- he(?) spotted me and fired a rocket, somehow I managed to duck, the rocket hit a wall close to my squad, immense blast, I knew my team was dead, so it was just me and that zombie rambo dude.

I was armed with a 1911A1 pistol, the handgun wasn't as intimidating as the other weapons in the game, but it was accurate and quite powerful, I was in need of time to plan, to think, so I retreated to the other side of a mound of dirt, the monster hesitated where I stood before, unable to shoot me but unwilling to come closer. I could spend five minutes or so engaged in a careful firefight with it, taking cover and aiming at its head or I could be suicidal, jump the mound, bring the fight to it; I opted for the latter, the scenic route, so I jumped the mound while firing my handgun, in response, that... thing... fired another rocket, I dodged it and shot its head several times, with inhuman speed the zombie reloaded its weapon and fired again, I was closer now, I didn't have much time to react to the incoming projectile, but I managed it, my clip was empty, so, there was I, reloading a handgun while a re-animated headless corpse fired rockets at me, most of them missed, one of them hit a nearby wall and injured me, but I was still alive and my gun was loaded. I kept firing at the undead thing, running forward so I could use my machete (forgot to mention that I had a machete) the creature must have used at least nine rockets during the fight; and I was out of ammo again, without time to reload, I had to grab that machete, luckly the monster was reloading, I stabbed him a bunch of times, finally he dropped dead, er, well, more dead.

My medic was still alive somehow, he came back after the explosions stopped, I got healed and saved the day, weeeeeee (and then I found a bug and got stuck).

I'm overtly descriptive...

Umm, well, you must have seen noted this, but the sniper shot and the heli are scripted. You can only hit that Zakhaev in the arm. That you managed to hit those other guys is pretty good though. And for the heli, well, if you shoot in the windshield and only hit one, the other one just magically gets a headshot too. It's in the script. (I think)

Again, I was playing Halo Trial. A couple epic ones.

1: Proof that AI can be useful- In the first hunter pit, I was shooting one of the hunters with my magnum from the hill above the pit. I finally kill it when the Warthog shoots a couple of shots right past my head. I turn around and see the other hunter was literally right behind me.

2: I was killing grunts and jackals by running them over with my warthog. All of a sudden, a grunt sticks the warthog with a plasma. The warthog gets blown high and I get kicked out once it flips. I continue to fly higher and take out about 5 grunts before hitting the ground and dying.

3: At the group of hunters before you actually run into the silent cartographers place (after unlocking the door) I had accidentally killed too many marines, so they turned on me. so I had to kill them all or die. So I was alone. I took my warthog and when I got to those hunters, they blasted the warthog, flipping it off of the hill and ejecting me out of it. I had only a few pistol shots and 1 clip of assault rifle ammo left. So I wasted the rifle ammo on the hunters, doign barely anything. Same with the pistol, though I saved one shot. I ran up to the first hunter and started whacking it with my pistol until it died. Then I ran over to the other one, did the same, and when it started the motions to ram me, I shot it right in the head with the pistol, killing it.

Playing IL-2 online with some friends:

I was flying towards the enemy airstrip and had three hostile planes on my tail, after a lot of maneuvering I managed to make two of the planes crash into each other and fall to the ground.. still having one on my tail. After a few seconds, a friendly plane came down and rammed into the final hostile plane. While dying of laughter I managed to bomb the airstrip and kill two planes. :)

I created a gametype in Halo 3 last night, called FULL-LIFE. Basically, the Alpha Zombie is blue, has instant kill abilities, runs at 110% speed, and has the Wepo...SMG. The three Non-infected are black, have their laser gu...Plasma Pistols and Spartan Lasers. The Last Man Standing is green, some might even say he is a very Dark Man.

Ah screw it, it's based on HL Full-Life Consequences: Free Man. I'll just put it this way, the Combines got into their vehicle while shouting "STOP THE HUMENS" while firing their laser guns with smiles but John Freeman jumped down and shot their heads with the Wepon.

Fun was had by all involved for two hours.
