What was your 1337est moment in game? - Page 3

Official 1337est moment. This is from close to a month ago. I'd almost forgotten about how much fun this chase was.

I was being chased by two complete asses in Reavers for almost thirty minutes across Cyssor in my Deliverer. I drove over every hill, through every damn grove of trees, over water, under and over bridges, all over the damned continent.

I'd cruise into a base, sit there for a minute, and leave to go to my set waypoint. My gunners were getting pissed at these damned reavers. We drove into Honsi which had no one else in it and I went to reload the Deliverer and my front gunner repaired. The reavers cruised over and started hitting us with machine gun fire. My repair/gunner got nailed and respawned in the basement of Gunuku where he had bound himself much earlier. So now I had to drive to Gunuku which had a Large Enemy Force attacking it on the south side. The reavers made another pass and my rear gunner and I ducked out of Honsi.

The reavers were hot on our ass and I knew they'd drop off once I got to Gunuku. I pull up to the northern side of the base and it's being hacked about a zillion VS perched all over the walls and trying to break in through the main door. As I'm looking at this spectacle I forgot to take my foot off the gas so i slammed right into their cloaked AMS. Well, my gunner decides to shoot it. Hooray, now we've got Lasher spam to deal with as WELL as the damned Reavers.

I hit the gas and this turned into a high speed chase. A harasser and two reavers plus a stolen Vanguard were now on our ass. We were flying down the road and I ducked off into some woods. Just then, I hit a nice patch of Lag-berries and smashed into a tree. The reavers passed over and the harasser cruised up hitting us as it passed on the road. I reversed and pulled away from the tree, cruising through the trees and up a small hill. The Vanguard was still chasing but it finally decided to drop off.

I get a squad message saying that my forward gunner is chilling in the tower north of Gunuku. So, we turn around, to the dismay of the Harasser which zoomed by us while his gunner and my gunner exchanged harsh language and lewd gestures. I drove over a hill, back onto the road, and got a nice battery of rockets in my face. It knocked the piss out of my already very badly damaged Deliverer. I needed my repair/gunner, badly, so I flew to the north tower and drove up to the north side of it. A VS Comet was floating in my direction as I pulled up behind the base. It landed right near me and started opening up. Luckily we pulled away fast enough to get out of his field of fire and I cruised along for a minute before I felt it was safe to go back.

The Reavers had stopped to help take the tower so I figured that it was safe now to hurry up and pick up my other squad mate. I drove up to the door of the tower, waited, sent a tell to my gunner and a second later he was hopping in my Del macroing "MOVE" over and over. It was great!

We took off down the road and the damn reavers came after us. I don't kow what gave those stupid pilots a hard on for killing us but they were pissed. Plus they'd gotten repair/refit at the newly hacked Gunuku.

We pulled some seriously impressive maneuvers getting away from these reavers. I mean, I'm talking Jason Statham in "The Transporter."

Finally we got to the big lake separating Faro from Chuku and Ekera. We had about half armor left and our shield was starting to repair. The reaver had had to break off at Faro because it was under our control. Next thing I know, we're half way across the lake and the damn thing floats up behind us again. My gunners were firing in unison and as I turned and maneuvered I watched their guns rotated following the Reaver in the air.

Apparently my maneuvers were good enough and the gunnery of my guys was good enough to peel away enough armor to scare the Reaver into ducking off.

What a sweet chase. It was the most exciting moment I've had in PS. In a word, it was 1337.

Yeah, the Flail is the biggest skill substitute in this game. The NC have nothing that matches it's power. My 3rd and last time using a flail I got about 200 kills and pretty much single handedly stopped a VS zerg that was trying to emerge from a watch tower. Just wait for one of the 3 doors on my side to open and left click... 5 kills, left click... 3 kills, left click... 4 kills, etc... *yawn* Id rather fight then just rack up an impressive kill count. Though... it was amusing once, but that was enough for me. I've not used a Flail since.

Stop trying to be a jackass, I had it for one day, and used a total of four flails that whole time.

Don't insinuate that I am a skillless killwhore because I used a flail for a day. My kills are split between gauss and aircraft stuff, so go be an asshat somewhere else.

Definitely when I was in my Rexo, Pulsar/Lancer config on Ishundar. It was Akkan, we were trying to hold off the hack. After owning a bunch of Terran with my Pulsar, I see this Reaver spamming the hell out of some of our infantry forces. Eventually he goes for a U-Turn back, and with my l33t leading skills, I nailed him with my Lancer. I did the same to about five more. And no, there were no other Lancers or Starfires or anything.

I was slamming the flail not you, but if you want to take it personally then be my guest. So if I say shit stinks, you will become offended once you remember you shit too?

BUGGER · 2004-03-16, 10:51 PM

Shudup both of u.

My most 1337 moment is when i first got PS and i had baskilik (sp), a NC ANT and Harrasser (no gunner) were on a NTU run. So i stalked them untill they got their NTU's and were crossing a bridge. Then i blew up the Harrasser, and took out the ANT within the minute. I was so pumped up, then i left and i think they just went on their run again.

anyone who starts flaming in a forum being used to tell about a fun time you had in the game needs a swift kick to the testicles. this thread is for fun, not for asshats.

when i killed 7 out of 8 at backdoor whit 5 thumper nades.. (the backdoor had just 1 defender, me)

Arandmoor · 2004-03-17, 01:49 AM

I remember once my outfit-mates and I were on Tower D when a JHn00b came down the stairs and pwoned like 5 people with MCGs. I chased him up the stairs (I guess he didn't see me) and onto the roof only to figure out that instead of my MCG config, I had grabbed my Agile sniper config by accident!
He stopped to reload and heal (still somehow with his back to me) and I did the only thing I could think of at the time...

...I drilled him in the back with my repeater while he was reloading.

About a week ago I decided to spend some time on my NC toon that I had been neglecting and picked up the JH to see if it had half the stuff wrong with it that some NC I was arguing with on the station forums were saying it did.
Outside a base backdoor we engaged some TR with MCGs. I was in agile but didn't have surge, and one TR had rexo. He dropped in two bursts. A second guy was also in rexo, but my Improved Targeting told me he was wounded so I switched to primary and hammered him. Meanwhile his buddy was finishing off another NC or two with Gausses so I ducked behind a tree to reload and he didn't seem to see me (I expected to die quite soon thereafter but didn't.) finishin up reloading I poke my head around the trunk of the Iron Tree(tm) and see this guy kissing bark with a med aplicator in his hand...

...okay...(he was asking for it)...so I ran up, put my JH into secondary...and drilled him in the back.
fastest 1500 xp I've ever gotten...I felt so 1337

Later that same battle some guys from the 666th (markov) had charged into the backdoor and goten pwoned. I came running up on a fellow NC sniping down into the corridor with his gauss when the door hack timed out. Knowing full well that a TR surgile-n00b probably couldn't hold out with a gauss-toating NC at the top of the stairs I planted myself firmly in front of the closed and locked door, and crouched.

Door opened and blam-blam-blam...kill...blam-blam-blam...kill...blam-blam-blam...kill

It felt so good

Of course another NC then saw fit to drill ME in the back with his JH (either a mistake or for sitting in the doorway)...but i degress...

My last 1337 moment was reciently with my TR toon at a VS backdoor.
The lasherspam was flying up the hall thick as anything I've ever seen and TR were trying to rush them with little success.

I, on the other hand, wasn't about to run headlong into death and was just itching to play with my newly certed combat engineering.

So I set up two mines, one right outside the backdoor and another one just outside of the recess holding the door.

I hear the lasher spam die down and figure that they've finished off the other TR that went down and are either reloading, or comming up the stairs.
Well, it turns out that they were surgile n00bs that didn't have a firm grasp of the concept: "low health, no armor = bad" because they ran up the stairs, out the door, and died two by two on my shiny new mines.
They did this at least ten times before spamming the doorway with jammers first.

It felt so good

I was manning the cannons on a prowler earlier today and the driver had just rolled us into an NC base, the tank was at about 60% life and a vangaurd came up behind us and starting shooting, one shot before the prowler died the vangaurd's crew tried to bail and my shot blew up their tank and killed them both.

Heavygain · 2004-03-17, 09:20 AM

I cant think of my most 1337 moment but i think this is pretty good.

me with 1/5 health, 1 ace, infil, and a knife vs. Reaver with 1/3 armor. Im claoked and crouching and he is stalking me and is right over me, he continues to sweep around for me until he gets so close to the ground i could knife him without looking up. i plant a mine and boom, i win.

Madcow · 2004-03-17, 09:35 AM

My most recent was probably knifing 3 guys who were coming over a hilltop. I'd run out of ACEs (was in infil) and had just recently cleared some people off of the hilltop and healed myself when some guy crested the hill and I decided to go after him too. As I got to him I realized he had 2 guys with him which I hadn't noticed in time, and at this point I was sure my movement had given me away and there was no turning back. I stabbed the guy once and then made every effort to keep him between myself and his two buddies which seemed to freeze them from firing on me. He just began spamming and hoping to hit me and I stabbed him again and dropped him. I immediately changed over to one of his buddies, got the first stab easy and tried the same strategy of keeping him between me and the last guy. I missed one stab as we were each juking, and he started spamming with the cycler and I started taking damage. I got in another stab, and down he went. At this point the last guy just cuts and runs. I sheath my knife and begin following, I get close enough to him and take the knife back out and...he makes an incredible move, fake left, go right, spin while removing his weapon from the holster. I'm able to land one stab and I'm thinking that's it. Then I hear a familiar sound, the good old Magscatter. Rather than use the cycler on his back, he's for some unknown reason decided to try that on me. He gets off 2 shots which miss wildly and I stab him in the chest. Melee Booster owns.

Electrofreak · 2004-03-17, 10:08 AM

Heh. Last night, I ran up some stairs in a tower, and literally ran into a TR with a MCG. All I had was my bolt driver. Before he could even begin to fire, I pumped the shot into him and he died. I simply LOVE it when that happens.

I also was running along yesterday and I thought I saw a little shimmer/distortion several yards away, at the corner of my screen. I turned and popped off a shot, kind of just to make the cloaker back off while I switched to my grenades, and to my surprise I hit him dead on, killing him.

The Bolt Driver makes a kickass ghetto shotgun! When I'm in a tower I like to run up the stairs with my Bolt Driver, pegging an enemy I find with my round, and then quickly switching to my pistol /'nade to finish him off. Its surprising how many HA-wielders I kill this way.

SilverLord · 2004-03-17, 10:12 AM

I like to run into a zerged nme tower and run to the top of the ting and whip out my Striker and kill any and all MAXes up there, they never expect that. I would then continue to heal/repair and then head downstairs again and pick off a few infantry that are just sitting at the steps waiting for my friendlies to come up. I go back upstairs and rince and repeat until I get killed or we get the tower.

And my l33test moment from this would be 3 MAXes, and 7 infantry in one run, eventually capping the tower.

Krinsath · 2004-03-17, 10:23 AM

I'll throw another one in...illustrates NC stupidity for once.

Tower on Amerish, Kyoi I'm pretty sure...possibly Heyoka. TR are attacking from a base and hitting this NC zerg full in the face. I'm sure you know what stalemates look like. Well, the NC have their roof phoenix barrage and sniper battalion going and the TR are just getting nowhere on taking the tower.

Being the clever little elmo I am, I swing out wide of the tower (called a "flanking manuever" for those among you unfamiliar with tactics....you know who you are) and come around to the S side of the tower (all the NC are streaming out to the north). There's some lonely CE wandering around putting down mines and such on the hill so I just come up on him and waste him. How no NC noticed this, I don't know. Pick up the Gauss rifle he was carrying, figuring this would be a good weapon for a mini-SpecOp and walk into the tower. Bear in mind, this is a tower in the middle of a heavy battle and I'm wearing TR rexo. Walk up the entire tower, not a single NC shows their face. Get to the top floor and a badly wounded JH user comes in. Paste him with the Gauss easily. Go out the S side, work my way around to the side with all the NC. They're mostly agiles using bolt drivers and phoenixes. Start at one end with the Gauss, work my way to the other...killed about 7 or 8 NC and most of them didn't even look up despite the steady scrolling of people killed by a red gauss. The JH guy comes back up in a MAX, which I use my striker to pound down and a Sparrow that was following him. Deciding that I'd pushed my luck a little far, I jump over the railing and run like hell towards our lines, which as it turned out had advanced quite far with the disruption on the roof.

Stopped at an AMS to rearm and spent about five minutes laughing about how dumb those NC had been.

Peacemaker · 2004-03-17, 03:11 PM

Got in a nasty dog fight in my reaver just after the ammo patch. 5 reavers and 5 mossys on me. It took like 3 minutes but I got them all. The last two kills were done using rockets only

.

Oh yea. Hot droped on a tower once. Thought nothing of it at first... till I realised I had droped with supressor and a deci. So I went a running down the stairs. One Jackwhore, two jack whore, gauss, sniper... shit max, retreat, hot swap Deci and supressor... dead max.. hot swap... Gauss... loot gauss... CC.. cloaker... JH... Gauss... take ammo.... spawn room.... soldier arming... loot him... take his two decis.... blow tubes... hack.
