Post your greatest moments here.

Two words: Paratroop raid.

I drove a heli high above enemy territory: "Hop out!" All 6 of us parachuted down.

I can't beleive tehy actually listened to the generic voice comm! We ended up spreading a lot of havok and capping the middle flag.
 
I've had quite a few great moments. Some of them being bland, like when I see myself at the top of the list for my team, when I was the single, lone squad leader with no squad members... actively doing missions for my commander. I'm seriously getting my groove back that I had with 1942! Woot.


Anyways... I snuck my way close to an enemy base, launching my grenade rounds from my rifle(assault class), getting some 'amazing' long shots as I moved in. Then I switched to intense firefight mode, running around sandbags and unloading a few rounds of lead into a few guy's heads, occasionally rapidly switching to my pistol to finish them off(DAMN, the pistol's ROCK! I've gotten like 50 kills with them).

So i'm sitting here, rather alone in this enemy base, and one of those fast dune buggy type vehicles spawn, and I make a run for it. Bullets go whizzing by my head, and kick up dirt all around me as I hop into the drivers seat, and pull it into reverse. Little did I know, an enemy was behind me and I ran over him going backwards. Straightening it out in the proper exit I wanted to take, I high-tailed it out of the place and zoomed on towards the safety of my easternmost base(I was MEC). Getting a repair, I had two guys hop in, and I took them on a sweet joyride. We zoomed on up towards the flag with the giant crane(on an aside note, the buggies are sweeet fun driving), and I sped down the main street there going parralell with the crane, and crashed into two guys and making another limp badly. Up popped an enemy soldier with a rocket launcher on his back, from the curved downward slop I haven't yet gotten to, and he fired. It zoomed straight ahead at me, wavering from side to side a bit. And at the last moment, I turned right just slightly and it zoomed down the side of my vehicle, and I crushed him with the full force of my buggy. Upon reaching the end of the road into the sand, I turned around, and was preparing for another such experience, with my two gunners mowing down guys to the right and left and straight ahead of me. However, as I was speeding into my next run, there was a lone trooper in the middle of the road, and with one, loud 'BANG' my life ended as he sniped me... the crazy driver.

FUN STUFF! :cheers:

What halflife2.net teams? You guys are all playing on the same server!?
 
The Blackhawk is an AWESOME killing machine. It was just me (the pilot) and some random gunner on the side. We went to one of the capped flags and I started circling around it at a low altitude, about 70ft above the ground. I kept circling and my gunner kept drilling the enemy. We racked up about 20 kills on that town alone, although the enemy quickly adapted and started using rockets. Imagine two black hawks just circling around in opposite clocks, pummeling the enemy's town. Although...finding a counter to tanks is difficult, thankfully they aren't very adept at shooting down blackhawks.

Hehe. I shot down a blackhawk who was flying low, and from a rather far distance. In fact, it was a member of these boards. I think it was Rakurai... was it?
 
I'd say one of the coolest moments for me during the day was making a shot at a moving MEC chopper from the hotel pt. all the way past the center beach pt in a tank. Just watching the shell fly for a second or two then seeing a satisfying explosion and see two kills pop up on the board :)

And it seems they've figured out how to have 64 bots on the 32 player map.

I rather "earn" mine.
I can deal with the cool weapons already in the demo until the release ;D
 
Another great moment, me and a friend single handedly took over an enemy base. We attacked the first base along the coastline but started off sneaky. I shot 2 guys and then all hell broke lose. The USA team must have sent just about every one of their soldiers to that base to protect it. We had guys coming up from behind us, but my friend took them out. After shooting about 3 more americans, I was hit by a stray bullet. Luckily, my friend was a medic and was able to revive me. We took out a few more enemies before having to fall back. About 5 minutes later, we arrived in tanks and easily captured the base. We then went on to capture all the coastal bases, while Alpha squad took care of the rest. Fun game!!
 
just got out of a game with some Hl2.netters, Marksman, Foxtrot, Pauly, Jimbo, Amish, Dalamari, shakermaker, Axyon and quite a few others

anyway we grabbed the boat (on the USMC) and headed for shore... along comes this Jet fighter headed straight towards us, our Gunner fires frantically at the jet, most of us start firing with our weapons too... The Jet starts spitting out a large amount of machine gun fire from the nose mounted cannon, water splashing everywhere, shell casings flying in the air, adrenaline pumping, view shaking as our boat rocks from the incoming fire, and shakes hard as the Jet passes inches above our heads


that was effing unbelievable, we all were like.. omg that was AWESOME.. and we were alive to boot ;)

I have to say it was so cinematic, it was like a scripted sequence in another game like MOHAA or something, but like on crack... and completely realtime/dynamic from another player.
this game is chock full of moments like this,.
 
Getting bombed to bits by a SU-37 aircraft when I and around 12 other guys running around on the carrier.

M-M-M-M-M-MONSTER KILL!
 
mine would be earlier today, i was playing with shaker in our 2man squad. :p

we basically just took vehicles and bombed around the map, anyway on our way to 1 of the flags on the beach we got caught in our apc by an enemy 1, the 'dingdingding' warning alarm went off, i quickly jumped out thinking that our apc would blow but luckily for shaker it didnt, but obviously not for me.

eek, i was caught in the open as i watched shaker speed off to the flag, i quickly weaved, dodged, bunnyhoped out of the apcs fire, loaded a grenade into my m4, fire, bang, not dead. quickly i dodged and jumped out of its fire, loaded another grenade boom, explosion, up it went, 2 inside dead, but the fun didnt end there.

i heard the approaching sound of a buggy @ full pelt, i turned around and saw it heading right for me, the guy was trying to run me over. i just in time loaded another grenade and hit the buggy straight on, exploding and coming to a stop literally infront of me, awesome it was, like black hawk down or sumit.

playing tonight in the squad was awesome too, particurly the 1st hl2net squad i was in, taking the hotel flag while gingerninja, foxtrot and i covered the flagtakers from above on the hotels roof was awesome, it was cool when a enemy apc raced into the area threatening to rob us of a flagtake, but my trusty grenade launcher came in handy again, BOOM, 2 more kills. :D
 
My moment of the day:

The squad's moving towards the western beach spawn. It's heavily defended. We're in the dunes -no cover- so we gotta move fast. A tank spawns and the enemy takes it. It rides into the open so I take a shot with my POW. A hit. The tank reverses back to the flag. I fire again but miss coz it hides behind a couple of shacks. There's a small alley thru which I can spot the tank. I take a shot. it goes over the dunes, thru the alley, into the tank which explodes. My best MP shot ever. And of course we took the flag after that.

That was also a very cool moment. I'm surprised we all lived. Altho we got fragged by that tank when we approached the coast ....
 
I just got back from a game where I was MEC. I flew one of my planes over the US carrier, ejected, and floated down, killing two people from the air. I then got in the Huey and three guys ran up thinking I was on their team and they were all around me and couldn't get in so I lifted up ten feet and then fell back down in the copter, killing all three. It was hilarious!
 
An entertaining yet fecking annoying encounter with Foxtrot over and over - I'd see him in his AH-1, so I'd fire up the Mi-28 and chase after him, chase him for about ten minutes hitting him quite a few times, which either resulting in him turning around and putting 15 missiles in me, or him going to the carrier and repairing while the AA defenses kicked the shit out of me. :(

Still fun though :)
 
Well... I got into a plane, americans... and proceeded to have one of my most awesome runs in BF2. I used to be a very talented pilot in 1942, but man... I was doing sweet here. About 8 enemy planes downed, two being on the runway... numerous AA launchers strafed and destroyed resulting in a kill for me(mainly at the MEC base). Lots of bombing kills and strafing run kills..

And so.. with all that, being the best pilot on the team not having died once yet, I got a couple friendly kills in a heavily contested hotzone with lots of enemies, and a couple friendlies killed in a strafing run at a seemingly empty enemy base, and I got kicked. ARGGGGH!
 
Today's greatest moments would have to be:

1. I'm squad leader, we're taking a boat from the carrier to go down the ruver. There's 4 of us total in the boat. A chopper starts coming from our 3 o'clock with a gunner guns blazing and rockets flying. I turn the boat sharply to the right going straight at him to cut under his rocket and gunfire. He passes over us and rounds on us again. The next 10-15 seconds are me swerving the boat back and forth dodging the shots coming from the gunner. Water is splashing left and right, rockets explode near our boat. One pass the chopper manages to kill all 3 of my squadmates. I'm the last one left. I manage to keep the boat moving and stay alive. Either the chopper got shot down or he ran out of ammo because we didn't see him again.

2. I was driving a buggy (with Redundant and Raziaar)from the construction site towards the hotel because the point was neutral and we had to reinforce it. I tear in through the dirt road entering the area and veer to the right where an MEC soldier had just hopped into a tank. Obviously we were gonna get roasted by this guy in a simple tank shell or a spurt from his machine gun so I tear RIGHT past him towards the hills at the back of the area (towards the red zone). You know how the area is surrounded by walls - I went up the hill just a bit by the beach-side wall and turned and cruised down the opposite side as the tank fired and missed with a shot. We tore ass away towards a beach spawn point instead :p

Here's my screen of the day. This guy got blasted by a bombing run that left him...impaled I guess.

however the chopper didn't kill me, only Raziaar and Crazy, I just switched to the gunner position when I saw Raz get blown away.
:)

chopper musta ran outta ammo, or figured we weren't worth the effort, I wonder if it was the same guy we blew up at the heli pad when we got to their base. (Raz took him out as an Anti-Tank)
 
damn I wish I had taken a screenshot when I was spec ops, and I placed a couple C4 charges on the runway, and I ran at the UAV drone station, put some c4 on that.. and I timed it that the plane that was taking off went over the C4 just as I got outta range, and I blew both the Jet and the UAV hut up in the same button press.

I was like "Guys check this out" ,.... BLAM!
:)
ah well. next time.
 
Being chased by a tank near the construction site, all my squadies dead, bar a real lifesaver taking both 50 cals for me :)

manage to dip into cover, right infront of a mec squad!

Open up, with the clear element of surprise nail all 3 of them.

the tank moves past me looking the over way, I sprint out, drop 2 det charges on the back of the tank, as it's driving away I'm standing in the middle of the road, c4 det in on hand, it trys to turn a corner and I push the button.

lol, I was driving that boat... I saw it and just thought "wow..." then realised I was driving at the last moment and tried to turn away! :p
 
Greatest moment was in a game earlier yesterday morning, when myself and some other squadmates (who also happened to be clanmates) had just captured Olive Hill and were heading through this walled area to the next command point. For absolutely no reason, I hit the Z key to go prone as we were running. Soon as I did, an enemy jeep passed over me, literally; I was between the wheels. My two teammates jumped out of the way and the jeep smashed into a wall. I popped up from behind it and shot the driver and the gunner, as my teammate Vaspire killed the passenger gunner and my other comrade Weet hopped into the driver's seat. We mobbed outta there towards the next command point when a second enemy jeep started coming at us, so Weet drives us straight at it and flips our jeep over on top of theirs as we all hop out. Later he was remarking that he bodyslammed it.

Second greatest moment was when I was leading a much larger squad on the USMC team, where we all filled out a blackhawk on the carrier (I was in the right-hand gunner position, since I can't fly that thing yet), and I was screaming at people, "Mount up!" We headed off towards the western-most coastal command point on the map, and I'm shouting to my squad, "You three parachute on my mark! Pilot, circle overhead and get me over the flag; I'll give you guys cover!" Once we were over the command point I yelled, "Bail!" and the guys in the back leap out the side, parachute down and start mopping up the enemies as I'm using the chaingun to take out infantry, tanks, and APCs. After we took the command point I told the pilot to land and we picked up our troops (I revived some of them) and moved on to the next point. It was just a really awesome teamwork moment.

Honorable mention goes to the time I was also on USMC, standing on that big silo at the MEC base with two teammates (one being my friend Weet), and this MEC chopper is doing runs at us, firing missiles. I'd heal and revive my squadmates, the thing keeps flying at us and we're running low on ammo, so the next time it heads right for us I put a couple pistol shots through the glass and blow the whole thing up. It crashed into the side of the silo. We were all laughing and saying, "Saving Private Ryan!" (an allusion to the scene where Tom Hanks is firing at the tank with the pistol).
 
This game really does play out like a war movie, except it's different and new every time around.
 
Other moments. I was playing on a server yesterday. My squad (3 members) got in one of the buggies at one of the beach bases. The base next to us was held by the USMC, so there was heavy fighting between the two bases (we were MEC). There were over a dozen soldiers on both sides lying prone between the two bases, hugging cover and generally looking fkn war-like. We flew past them in the buggy and jumped into the base, running over three enemies and then getting out and taking out another 10 or so from behind / suprise, giving our teammates a chance to move up.

It was excellent.
 
Just had a great game on the NEKKID server. I went to take one of the coastal bases from the USMC, when I spotted two of their tanks rolling in from the distance. They quickly destroyed my stolen APC, leaving me and the stinger site. I got off a couple of shots at the lead tank, but realised that my number was up.
Then Maybehere swooped in one of the MiGs, dropped his plane on the rear tank, ejecting safely at exactly the same time that I blew up the lead tank. Then we took the flag, and marched off for tea and biscuits.
