Your Incredible Gaming Moments

Agreed it was a ton of fun, I loved the suppressed shotgun, hilarious. That is until the hackers went nuts and every server was ...an experience.

Well, I am nowhere near that level any more. I know I was in the top 100 on COD World at War for a bit but Ghost Recon was my pinnacle, and then college, girlfriend and full time jobs took my free time away. I am absolutely atrocious at games these days, but my kids think I’m the greatest gamer ever and that’s all I care about now.

Holy crap, that’s good!

I suck at fighting games too. I see all the Street Fighter players counting frames & whatnot… I ain’t got time for that stuff, lol.
Smash Bros. is the only fighting game I’m actually decent at.

Beating the Die Hard 2 level of Die Hard Trilogy on the PS1 with an original digital controller. I remember a professional reviewer at the time saying he thought it was all but impossible to beat it without a light gun. It was definitely hard as HELL & took many, many, many tries but i finally did it.

I have a super Hail Mary knife throw saved. Playing COD I throw a knife as I jump off an adjacent roof at what looks like a 45* angle and hit a player in the head as I’m falling switch to my shotgun and catch the last kill with a point blank shotgun blast as I fall forgetting to pull my parachute and break my legs. But the guy I shot was the very last player and I killed him first so I win with broken legs. I do have it saved on my old Xbox.

if we do not have video can not prove it.

Ah good old back in the day type stuff. Back on PS3 when Modern Warfare 2 came out, I was unstoppable with a pistol and the tactical knife. I used to get 20+ kills without firing a single shot. That was truly the last great Call of Duty IMO. The best maps and the secret locations on the maps just can't be beat. Nowadays I hardly even turn the console on, just not as interested anymore.

Back in the olden days of the original Xbox, I was ranked globally at #8 on Ghost Recon 2.

Modern warfare 2 or 3,Tea bagging a player I found lying on the ground, and then stabbing them, turns out to be the final kill, and the whole lobby gets to watch my glorious moves

I suck at gaming. Never had a Nintendo or anything growing up so lack the speed on a controller and friend would just massacre me in fighting games ( Thank Tyler…). I stay away for online multiplayer games now-days and play single player games.

That said, going back the first redo of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, the first one that had multiplayer, I was actually good at that one and regularly finished as a top player in a match. It’s not a very high bar. Did enjoy that multiplayer though.

Nothing too crazy sticks out in my sleep deprived current state, except one and even that wasn't too amazing. I remember paying Guitar Hero 3 online pretty religiously back in the day and just killing it. I recall being ranked 6th for win streak with somewhere in the high 600 wins in a row. I also remember losing and finally moving on to play something else.

Eh... Console game wise I really enjoyed beating Mega Man 3. Later learning the In/Outs of a game like Final Fantasy 6 felt really rewarding as a kid.

I picked up Counter Strike between 1.3 and 1.6 and totally sucked at these LAN parties my friend would invite me to. I could not understand it... Weekend after weekend I was just getting left in the dust. Finally after months I started to get the hang of it. Turns out a few of the folks I was playing against every weekend were basically the first 'pro' CS gamers... X-3 I think. All that ass whooping got me in shape that I can hold my own on basically any FPS game I pick up.

The last incredible gaming moment for my gaming era was Vanilla World of Warcraft. Over the first year of that game I had over 3 months time played in game. I was a minor e-celebrity on my server (Sachem on Thunderlord) and got super burned out after the game went from fighting dragons to bugs. Winning a truly pointless game of Warsong Gulch that lasted 2 hours and 13 minutes stands out.

What are some of your incredible gaming moments? Either good or bad.

A good moment from me: In ~2009 I was big on Halo 3 multiplayer, but I only played social & had a K/D of maybe .46. (yeah, I sucked) I was playing one morning after my night shift. Big Team Slayer on The Pit. I was maybe 4 beers in & said screw it- I'm going for the sniper rifle. I suck with the sniper & NEVER go for it, lol. But then semi-drunk me proceeded to throw caution to the wind, rack up a dozen kills & snag MVP for that game. Never managed to get MVP before that or since. Still dunno how I pulled that off.

EDIT: Another one: Me, my wife, my brother & his wife all play Mario Kart 8 together semi-regularly. My bro & I are very competitive with each other in Mario Kart. So we all decided to marathon all 48 races at 150cc & keep a running point total.
48 races and 2 & 1/2 hours later, my brother & I tied for the top spot in points.
