The most leet moment I can remember happened nearly 2 weeks ago, when, after bailing from a Liberator, armed only with a Rocklet and clad in Agile Armor, I took out a group of 6 NC.
I was doing Liberator strafing runs with the 35mm nosefun on some NC while defending a nearby friendly TR base. I managed to kill 3 or 4 NC before concentrated fire heavily damaged my aircraft and required me to bail. As I bailed from the lib, I realized I was dropping into the very group of NC who had shot me down and was assaulting the base. Pulling my Rocklet on the way down, I hoped for the best.
As I landed, I realized I was staring at an NC who had his Pheonix launcher equipped. I quickly switched to secondary fire mode and wasted him with a flurry of Rocklets before he could react.
Another NC nearby saw the kill and pulled a Sweeper. He came after me firing. He was at medium range however, and his shots did little damage as I sent Rocklet after Rocklet smashing into the ground at his feet. He succumbed to the last Rocklet in my clip, so I reloaded as I hid behind a tree.
I look out from my cover to see 2 more NC coming after me. One of them was armed with a Jackhammer I think, and I'm not sure what the other one was carrying. They were running in close proximity to one another, and so I figured that I'd just spam Rocklets at em with secondary mode and do as much damage as possible before I died. To my surprise, the one carrying the JH died! I quickly ducked behind a rock again to reload, and waited for the other guy to come around the edge of the rock. I kind of anticipated his arrival, so I was ready with the Rocklet on secondary mode again. Just as I see him start to come around the edge of the rock, I pull the trigger. I must have caught him by surprise because he didn't even get a shot off at me. I can't even remember what gun he was using, it was kind of hard to tell because he was covered in Rocklet explosions, lol!
Feeling pretty kickass, I ventured out from behind my rock. I could see an NC firing a Pheonix from a short distance away, and emboldened by my recent victories, I charged him firing Rocklets in single mode. He turned, looked at me, and fired a Pheonix off at me, missing. He moved behind his tree, and I assumed he was pulling out another weapon. I kept up my charge, firing rocklets near the base of the tree. A moment later he pops out with a Guass rifle and pegs me with a few shots. I quickly hide behind a tree, and since my clip is empty, I reload. I peek out, and he's still there, crouching behind the tree waiting for me. I strafe out from behind the tree, firing more Rocklets at the tree's base, killing him.
At this point, I decided to make my way back into the base. I run along the outside edge of the base wall, making for the courtyard gate. As I turn the corner, an NC with a Thumper spots me. He fires off a plasma 'nade at me from medium range, missing (yeah don't ask me how) and then pegs me with another. I charge at him firing my Rocklet thinking "ok this guy is definately going to bring me down, I'm badly hurt, 1 more nade and I'm dead." However, after hitting me with the second grenade, he has to reload. I took advantage of the time to charge at him, pumping all 6 Rocklets into him, killing him just as he prepares to hit me with his reloaded Thumper.
I head into the relative safety in the courtyard, and crouch behind some crates as I take a few screenshots of the kill messages in the chat window. I complete this, and head for the main door as I only have a few Rocklets left in my inventory! At this point, I holster my Rocklet Gun, and just as I'm about to pass through the doorway, a cloaker comes up behind me and AMPs me to death.
I've also had a few other pretty leet kills, including several of my sniper kills. I killed a loaded Vanguard with my Bolt Driver last week, it had taken heavy damage and was trying to escape.
::POW:: ::BOOOM!:: The next day I did the same thing with an enemy Skyguard who was causing me much pain. I love it when stuff like this happens in game, but for some reason its NEVER when I'm running FRAPS!
