Flying around in my Mozzie, when the lock icon starts flashing. Glancing at my radar, I can see an enemy Reaver on my tail. I immediately afterburner'ed away, pulling crazy ninja moves down some canyon as he gets the lock and fires the missile. I emerge over a bridge and decide to try to flip under it. So I go nose down, 180 degrees, then flip over, but soon realise I misjudged it. I get stuck in the girders at the top of the bridge and sat there in tense silence for a few seconds, before I realised he had bugged out after losing me. Felt so epic after I dislodged myself and carried on flying.

Planetside 2, if you hadn't guessed.

[Devling]

That's fucking hilarious.

[Delta Foxtrot]

First mission that I had to plan by myself and it succeeded on the first try. I had green and gold teams clearing the upper floor scaffoldings while I lead blue team straight to the hostage room, taking out a couple of tangos on the way. Once I reached the hostages, I threw a flashbang from cover and took out the terrorists preparing to execute the captive family. In & out in about two minutes with no casualties.

Rainbow Six, mission #5, the one with neo-marxists in the Spanish amusement park.

Does anyone know whether the later levels don't have pre-made plans or did I just fudge something up?

[Lightningfalcon]

From my expedience, they don't have pre made plans
And I still remember my first plan.  First mission, I stack up one team at a side entrance, another team at a side entrance on the second story, another on the balcony, and another somewhere else.  Moment I gave the order, it took almost seconds to clear the building.  So satisfying.

I had not buckled in to my chair. The front pod window was smashed out. I got sucked out the front into space.

Always remember to buckle into your chairs, kids!

That was a brilliant story. Such a perfect ending to a long running stream of luck!

I also should tell the story of how I became Co-Chief Engineer at one point, then died in a most ignomious way halfway through the match. I think I shall.

I started as a Station Engineer, and the CE asked me to help him set up the Singularity Engine. I said okay, but I don't have much experience with it, only wiring solars and stuff like that. He coaches me through the process, and we get the engine set up quite quickly. He then asks me to wire the Solar Panels, so I go looking for a hardsuit. There are only two engineering hardsuits, and both are gone.
At this point, a traitor comes in and assaults the CE, but the CE calls security AND beats the guy unconscious with a wrench or something. He's wounded, and asks me to watch Engineering while he goes and gets healed. I agree, then go ask the computer to let me into EVA for a space suit.
The CE tells the computer to let me, the computer asks if he wants me to have command authorization on the same level as the CE. The CE agrees. This means I am now the sixth Head of Staff in all but name and headset. I get a space suit and magboots, and go back to the Engineering deck.
Here is where I die. Poly, the Engineering Parrot, our little mascot, says over the radio, "Shit, the singularity is loose! Call the shuttle!" I think, "Oh shit, no way."
I step outside, to check the singularity. It's fine, and contained. It sucks me off the walkway. Magboots, when ACTIVATED, negate the pull of the Singulo. I died because I didn't turn on my boots.
The CE gets healed, and asks me for a report. Then asks the QM to meet him. Then me for a report again. No one responds, as I'm dead and the QM is an idiot. This goes on for a looong time. Long story short, he saves the AI after the singularity gets loose and the station gets all fucked up. He and the AI escape in the Engineering pod. Right after this, I tell him who I was and how I died, and EVERYONE in game is laughing.

It was *OWN* that I got made second CE for a time, however short. I was once HoS for almost an hour, but that story is definitely not own. It is BAD when the only person in security that ISN'T braindead AND is doing his job is the HoS. The Warden and I were the only ones not braindead, and the Warden was running around being a prick. Do you have any idea how many goddamn security calls you get in an average game? I called the shuttle out of frustration, eventually.

[Greiger]

I beat down a sentry and cap the point on the road for my server, but the moment the ring disappears and the flag turns blue 3 Sea of Sorrows players appear from nowhere and start attacking.

I'm alone, nothing but my ranger pet and my three oakheart spirits to keep me company.  I know I'm toast, but I spring into action.  I activate all 3 of my spirit's debuffs immediately and I serpent strike the thief that initialized dodging a number of attacks and poisoning the thief, the thief stealths and my spirits spells go off, I summon my elite spirit and get into a melee duel with one of the other players.  They are also a ranger I actually manage to down the ranger, despite his warrior buddy firing his rifle at me.

The thief reenters the fray really late, I can only assume he ate all 3 of my spirit's debuffs while stealth, and was completely rooted by the quagmire of immobile, cripple and freeze.  The warrior charges up a kill shot and I'm in a melee with the thief again, I serpent strike again, using the free evasion to dodge the kill shot and somehow manage to down the thief as well after another short melee scuffle.

I use my heal and finish the ranger first, as he called his pet to try to rez himself, the warrior just isn't closing to melee, instead sticking with his rifle, so I manage to finish the ranger, and the thief since he decided to waste his final stealth while I was finishing the ranger and start rushing the warrior.  He turns and runs for his life, trying to get into the nearby keep.  And I just take out my longbow(first time using it the whole fight) and chase, plucking him while he's running.  A short distance from the keep guards he is downed as well and I finish him off too.

1v3.  Supposedly underpowered class using supposedly useless spirit spec vs a thief, warrior, ranger combo.   3 points for me, none for them.

 Guild Wars 2.  World vs World battlefields

[tryrar]

So, I'm in my ARL on Encounter(can't remember the map name, it's the one with the flag on the far left on encounter). I go with a group of other heavies to cover the cap zone, and we immediately get some resistance we get there; a t32, one or two t29s, a couple t20 mediums, and a tiger. Well, with the DCA 45 I said "No Problem" to the higher tier tanks I'm facing. Well, being only a tier 6, I'm immediately fired upon as the weakest tank there....only I'm getting bounce after bounce after bounce(I mean, 180mm effective front armor does that to you!) while I'm firing target after target, only getting the occasional bounce. In the end, we win by cap with me surviving with ~22hp and grabbing the steel wall, cool-headed, and Spartan achievements

World of Tanks, if you can't guess

[Absolute Niro]

The round had gone to hell already so I figured I might as well contribute a little to the carnage - I don't usually "grief", but the temptation, oh gawd. I grabbed a toolbox, went through the maintenance tunnels down to the virology lab and broke in. Clearly the virologists had been busy because the room was littered with beakers and syringes, all full of viral blood. I emptied a space cleaner and loaded it up with the blood. Suddenly, a random assistant appeared in the room, I'm assuming he snatched a hand teleporter from a head or something like that. I sprayed him, though, and I guess he adminhelped because suddenly an admin appeared and spawned a few adminodrazine pills to cure the assistant and give him immunity to virus, didn't bother punishing me or anything. I took a few of the pills myself and ran off, swallowing one to provide immunity to my virus blood.

I then went around spraying everyone and everything, painting the station red. Suddenly the entire station had GBS and Pierrot's Throat and it was pretty chaotic, the shuttle was called immediately. Medbay was full, everyone swallowing random chemicals from the chemist, trying to stop the illnesses. While everyone was preoccupied, I broke into robotics and stole the RIPLEY they had standing around there, and slowly moved it towards the escape arm to get on the shuttle. Dead bodies and gibs everywhere, heh.

Finally I got on the shuttle and the only other crew member was the HoS. He obviously knew I was the criminal since I was the only live dude. I tried to drill him a bit, but he managed to laser my mech to destruction and I had to fight him armed with nothing but my fists. I swallowed all my remaining adminodrazine pills, giving me extreme health regen, and basically just tried to smash his skull in before the burn damage from his laser got too bad. I almost managed it, but a lucky shot sent me critical and I just succumbed. The round ended as the HoS stood over my corpse, completely battered.

Amazing round. Space Station 13 was the game, in case someone miraculously (<-- this is clearly a very big deal) didn't realize.

[Satarus]

Playing planetside 2 in my AA flak tank.  I noticed an enemy vanguard heavy tank sitting on a ridge firing down on my allies.  I hop out of my tank and drop some tank mines behind him and yell into proximity chat, "BEEP BEEP."

I hate it when people say this crap, because sometimes I have absolutely no idea what the hell they're talking about.

Oh, obviously you wouldn't know what I'm talking about if you've never played the game. That can't exactly be avoided. Space Station 13 is a fairly well-known game, though, and it was mentioned on the same page of the thread already so ehhh.

Flawless logic, my friend!

These are the kinds of SS13 players I cannot stand. Is common courtesy so far beneath you that you treat it with contempt?

The hell? Did the "" at the end not make it clear to you that I'm joking? This has nothing to do with "common courtesy", I simply ignorantly assumed people would either be familiar with the game I mentioned or just not care about how I word my sentences. I don't care enough to argue, but really, you don't have to get all aggressive.
