Pretty self-explanitory... Talk about your experiances with games. Be they funny, crazy, to do with ZombieLoffe or just fun, talk about them here

Playing CS:S, run into a room full of Terrorists with a silenced UMP (best gun ever IMO) and getting like 10 headshots.

>.<

Best bud. getting shot straight out of the back of an in-flight Blackhawk in BF2. A jet or another helicopter was firing at us, and he being in the rear seat with the ramp down, he got smacked and zoomed out. Funniest thing I've ever seen in a game.

I laughed out loud just reading that.

I'd say by best (and most impressive) gaming moment was in BF2. An enemy chinook was hovering above one of our flags and was capturing the point when I lobbed a grenade in through the rear boarding ramp.

I thought it would have fallen straight through the model and come back to me but no. It rolled down to the cockpit and detonated inside, killing the pilot and gunner. I got a few "lol"s from bystanding teammates for that one.

PLaying BF2 at a mates place a few days ago, Got in a helicopter (After him saying it would be hard to fly) And said wow this is easy to fly, Had a look around and then BAM lost control crashed into a mountain.

Another one in BF2. On an aircraft carrier Ig ot in a Black Hawk to try and get to grips with controlling a chopper. However just before I took off 3 guys spawned and hopped in. We did a nose dive off the edge of the carrier and drowned.

Playing Operation Flashpoint online with a custom Black Ops map. I had never played online before and all these guys were pros, also if you died you didnt respawn in this map. As soon as the level started I saw the chinook parked opposite us (which was ment to be our transport to the main island to begin the mission) and I jumped into the pilot seat. Everyone else (all 9 of them) had to take the gunner seats and 'ride in the back' seats. We take off, I was pretty good at flying a chinook and was overly confident.

I even took pauses while flying to type "Look ma, no hands." into the team speak box. I got replies like "Oh dear god is Tycell flying?" "yes" "were fucked." I joked and laughed with these guys who were taking the level rather seriously comming out with comments like "Anyone want popcorn?" And "the in flight movie is" each time I stoped flying to type the chinook would start to veer off and nose dive or just loose altitude, all of them were screaming at me just to shut up and "fly the damn thing!".

Eventually we got to the first waypoint, it was a mountain like area and at the bottom was a large russian base full of gaurds, armour, jeeps, trucks all manned. We had to land ontop of the mountain undetected and sneak down into the base, plant charges and blow up as much of the base as possible (preferably the tanks first as we had no AT weapons at the start). Once most of the base was gone and the base (of course) was on high alert we had to kill the remaining enemy forces, get back into the chinook and get away before three Hinds came allong to re enforce the enemy base.

I dropped the altitude of the chinook fast so that we would land hard on the mountain trying to show off my piloting skills to the guys who were playing. The chinook hit the ground fine, but we were off to the side of the landing spot and the first waypoint, you can only get out of vehicles if they are stopped (or you can bail, but that 99% of the time results in death). So I jump out when were still a few feet from the ground (the second the option was availible) I run over to the waypoint and tag it with a satisfying little ping.

I turn around to the funniest fucking thing I have ever seen, becauase I jumped out of the chinook while it was still just above the ground it had strafed backwards, and because it was moving none of the guys could get out, it hit the floor (the engine turns off when the pilot bails) and started to roll on its wheels down the mountain. All of the other 8 guys in the chinook (one had jumped with me) could only sit back and watch from third person view as they all rolled, turned and then barrle rolled (wrecking the chinook and our only way out) all the way down the mountainside and into the enemy camp.

They rolled right over an enemy Shirka (AA tank) and into an Ammo Ural (ammo truck) which was parked next to a building, at which point the truck and the chinook with all 8 passengers exploded setting the base alarm off. Moments later me and the other guy who were stood at the top of the hill watching in pure histerics (well at least I was) as all this unfolded were insta killed by a shot from and enemy T80. Never have I seen somthing so fucking funny as that, the abuse I was getting as they were rolling down the hill was amazing, I was kicked from the server seconds after dying.

Another one: Playing Planet Side with my outfit at the time. We had teamed up with 2 other outfits to take back the map called "Nexus" which was under controle of the Vanu (noob team). The idea was simple. As many fully loaded Galaxys (drop ships) as was required for us to all fit in, we would then all symultaniously jump from high altitude and all land on the centeral building of the 1 main base in the map (which was under enemy control).

When you bail from any vehicle in Planet Side, you get a sort of magic carpet of energy under you to slow your fall and take you straight down. 7 fully loaded galaxys (which took nearly 30 mins to organise) all flew over the base, I was in about the 5th one allong. We all bailed one ship at a time over the centeral building. So there was a constant stream of about 50 of us from the top of the map (400,000 meters) to the roof of this building, all in a big line in the sky.

Someone with a Command Rank of 4 or 5 had an orbital Strike charged, they targeted the centeral building. I was still in the air when it happened, a giant beam of blue light wiped out ALL of us, every last one. Our amazing mission plan shot to hell by one guy holding a laser pointer. The guy had somthing like 80,000 XP from the MASSIVE kill. I think of a party of 50-60 only 8 or so survived (they were in the last drop ship and missed the orb strike.

Jesus that was funny, but at the time we were all fuming.

I've gotten to 80 kills in The Specialists before I died once.
End of story.

BF2 is so fantastically detailed.

Operation Flashpoint is great! aw man, i want to play it again now!

/reinstalls

do people still play online?!

Well I've killed Ragnaros, thought that was pretty cool.

EPIX!!!

HL:
Well there was this time in HL1, when I tried to turn off a turret by using
it..

And many, many, many funny stories in CS, like the time, when I owned 4 T's with AKs with the USP. And when I owned 3 guys in a row with the M3. And when I got owned with a glock, when wielding the XM (100 hp + i saw the enemy clearly + close distance).

Lots of tripmine ownage, while playing HLDM too..

CS:S Office. Rushed with a Mac and the brettas, the whole team took the other way and The CT:s were all rushing to the same point as me...

To make a long story short i pwn the whole ct team (13 players) with mac and brettas without help...

Getting a Flashbang Kill on Dust in CSS. Yes it was awesome, I only whish I had taken a screeny, everyone was like "WTF!"

HLDM dont remember what map. I spawned in a cage of tripmines...

yes it can

Only if it hits ya.. I think.

Yeah, when you hit somebody with a grenade it goes "bonk" and knocks off somewhere in the region of one (1) health point :).

playing through freespace 1 thinking it was cool, then installing Freespace 2.

We where in a squad of hercs (bombers) attacking a 4km long battleship. we had a cruiser of our own behind us and I suddenly heard a high pitched whining sound and then a huge green line cut across my vision and cut it in half. I was like, WTF that things the size of my school and it blew up! and then an EVEN BIGGER battleship emerged from the nebula clouds and I heard the whining noise again, I moved all power to my engines and hit the thrusters like hell. It was so awsome and epic seeing two battleships fight while midget fighters swarm around them. I was doing dive bombs with my mates as well under heavy flak. the screen would be rocking and shaking with warnings going off but we just had to get close enough to drop our payload. at 30% integrity I released a bomb and pulled up, but I my freinds where too close. the explosion finished them as well as the battleship and they had to watch me do the rest of the mission. great times.

Heh

Why was that a GIF, y'idiot?

got to be HL2... took out bout 10 combines when one lobbed a grenade over a low wall.... right where i was hiding, and I quickly swapped to Gravity Gun, picked it, an 'gave it back.' PWNAGE!!!! I felt soooo good after that!

Carrying all the turrets you collect all the way though Nova Prospekt to the end part with the large teleporter, at which point you have 7-8 turrets or so. Setting them all up and then just sitting back and watching the combine getting owned, also when you rise up in the teleporter watching the elites try and storm in and just get hacked down without losing a single turret.

Being in a helicopter dog fight in Opperation Flashpoint, running out of ammo in your light attack chopper and bailing out, as you paracute down feeling safe as you are far too small a target to be cut down with the chain gun or rockets, then watching is horror as your best friend (and enemy at the time) chops you into peices by flying at you rotors first in his Hind.
