What was your biggest epic fail when playing online?
I had ran into a room, threw a stun grenade, of course stunned myself, and I figured I was going to die, so mine as well try to blindfire and take the enemy down. I ended up getting killed and watching my Killcam; the guy wasn't even stunned by the grenade, he just went prone in the corner and watched me stab the air three times and empty an entire clip while spinning in circles before walking up and stabbing me in the back.
Well, this happened twice but I threw a care package in a corner and killed a spawning teammate when the box fell.
One hilarious moment stands out in my mind.
My friends and I were playing search and destroy. I was the only one still alive on my team sneaking around trying to kill the remaining members of the other team. Long story short, I threw a flash bang up a set of stairs, it bounced back and somehow blew up an explosive barrel right next to me.
Killed a teammate with a care package on accident, got knifed from behind, and the enemy stole my care package that I just killed my teammate with.
Last thirty seconds of search&destroy i was arming the bomb with about 30 secs left and i was the only one on my team alive. I got too excited and stopped holding the button on accident. We lost the last round and the whole game because of me. I also forgot to leave b4 the scoreboard showed so for about a minute i had to endure the cruelty of my team.
P.S. Sorry that team. :(
I had the same thing happen to me only i did have someone watching me...my friend had not called in a supply crate before. i was showing him how it works and told him to throw it into an open area. i told him that they can kill you if you have it fall on you and to make sure you are away from it. as soon as it dropped, it rolled right on to me. his girlfriend was in his living room watching him play and of course he told her what i had just said and what had happened. thought that was kind a dumb of me.
You know how you sometime get into those awkward situations when you are walking down the street and another person is coming towards you and you both try to step aside, but both go in the same direction so it takes you several tries to get around? I had something like this happen except in reverse when both me and my brother stumbled into each other and started trying to knife one an other, we both sidestepped and dodged each other knife attempts over and over and could not connect for at least 3-4 tries from each of us, spinning and strafing like 2 retards until one of us finally connected (don't even remember who) laughed till I had to go take a leak.
On Terminal, I was care package knifing (I was bored). I was in the airplane and lunged and missed a kid 4 times in a row. I eventually got him, but it was still awful :(
On the road that goes up the hill on the side of Favela, i was down at the bottom near the blown out cars. I shot a enemy who came towards me with a riot shield. I picked the shield up, got two steps forward when the same guy comes round the corner, again with the sheild. For about 30 seconds we engage in a tense bump off. We ircle, me catching his throwing knife on the sield, him doing the same to me, and so on. Things get to the point of desperation, when an enemy pave low flies by and guns me down. I naturaly sit back, but it turns ou i hadnt been doing so well and was still alive, in Final Stand. The guy moves in on me, i fire wildly. He's about to finish me off when a semtex flies past, goes off throwing him over my head. Rejoicing, I get back up, round the corner and am killed by a burst of machine-gun fire.
Nothing hugely epic, but I have my matches where I'll basically outline the enemy with bullets and miss the easiest kills imaginable. I also have a tendency to flash my own teammates or frag them while playing hardcore.
in Derail
with a 23 killstreak with the nuke equipped
I plant a claymore at the corner of the entrance of the big building and hide behind barrels,
I come out due to alot of my team being around, as I walk to the entrance, a crouched guy turns the corner which I knife accordingly as he walked to the entrance which in turn, triggered my claymore... which then exploded in my face ending my 24 killstreak, one kill away from the nuke lol
" I played online. "OH SNAP
for me, my first S&D match coming from CoD4, I didn't know Underpass that well. I was the last man alive in the last round in over time, and I jumped off the ledge and died and lost the game for our team. so bad, but so funny.
also, by mistake marked a care package inside of a building on high rise and my AC 130 landed on the roof ._.
CTF, was in overtime and I did not know all you had to do was touch the enemy flag. So like the camping faggot I am i sat quietly near our flag and waited for a dude to run up on it, thinking heheheh ill get the extra 50 points and wait for this guy to pick it up and then kill him. Then he touched it, we lost, and god damn i felt like an idiot
Not my fault, but here is the biggest epic fail I have had on the game:
Playing on terminal, domination, minding my own business when some dude kills me.
I spawn, immediately knifed the moment I spawn, respawn by A.
The second I spawn a noob tube directly hits me, I respawn outside near the airplane.
Before I even have a chance to move anywhere a care package lands on my face and I die.
Yeah I was laughing yet also fairly pissed (insta dying 3 times in a row is annoying).
I was playing Free-For-All on Karachi. I saw an enemy that went into a building. I ran into the building, and tossed a stun grenade. The grenade then proceeded to land in front of my feet instead of behind a wall, blinding and disorienting me. I was then forced to watch an extremely slow death as the guy came around the corner and knifed me in the face. Fail.
" Well, this happened twice but I threw a care package in a corner and killed a spawning teammate when the box fell. "I have had multiple dumb teammates stand (or go prone) on my markers and kill themselves. Always frustrating to know that they probably did it to be dumb.
I can't think of something dumb enough for myself, but I have seen quite a few frustrating carepackages fall on the overpass on Underpass. AC-130s like to land up there.
" @CitizenKane: This but it was my own grenade :( Crushed by my own care packages, falling off highrise, flashing or stunning self in front of half the enemy team etc etc "That sucks duder. I also died from a care package that was leaned against a wall and then suddenly fell on me and killed me. ~__~
I was playing wasteland on ground war with my trusty barret 50cal. Somehow I get behind three enemies in a trench. They are completely oblivious to my presence. As I aim down the sights I notice they are all lining up perfectly. In my head im thinking 'triple collateral'. I have never hit a triple in all my time with CoD4, WaW or MW2. My moment had finally come. There was no way I could miss. So without further ado, I take the shot.
For a moment I couldn’t understand what had happened. I here my rifles bang, but I hear no hitmarkers and I have gained no points. Yet a gargantuan cloud of smoke emanates from the trench were those three men were just moments before.
My teammates predator missile has blown them all to smithereens.
To make things worse, he is triumphantly boasting about his triple kill over his headset.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
I was 1 kill away from getting an EMP when the sky was filled with an enemy AC130, Harrier and Pavelow.... saw a guy hiding in the window overlooking the storage in Skidrow so i thought I'd throw a Semtex in there..... and as has happened countless times before i had Tactical Insertion on and didn't realize it. His killcam was of me running, walking slowly and dropping a TI, then killing me..... twice.
I was on a 23 kill streak on Safehouse, with a nuke equipped. I was outside, and looked at my radar and a predator missile dropped on my ass. Ouch...
Once agro'd a random mob in Black Wing Lair while in a 40 player raid in WoW. I didn't notice because he didn't follow me initially, it wasn't until a minute or so later when I had rejoined my group that I realized he had pathed a different way to get to me, bringing with him a few hundred of his friends. Safe to say I wasn't very popular for a good week or so after my fully epic'd hardcore raid guild was wiped in seconds by 'the new guy' lol.
I called in a care package and as usual, few of my nearby teammates came running in hopes of ninja'ing the package in case I get sniped or something. Well the package lands on this little bump in the terrain, giving it some real horizontal velocity, killing all three of us and then some player ends up stealing in.
Lining up a perfect headshot on an enemy sniper in that big outdoor map with the underground tunnels and trenches. I stealthed half way across the map and was in the grass behind a vehicle, but I managed to spot him (he was murdering my team).
Pulled the trigger, felt the Intervention's kick, re-centered and saw a cloud of smoke from a Grenade. On top of not getting the kill, I immediately get razed by automatic fire.
Or emptying a half a mag into a guy only to get an assist from a friendly blind firing a hundred feet away. At a different enemy.
The one thing I hate though is when you know an enemy's coming so you crouch and wait, only for two teammates to run at you right when "Enemy Predator Missile Inbound!" is heard. Oh yeah, on Quarry, the red warehouse area...the building closest to the level boundary...I was right outside the door when I hear the warning and see the red circle appear. I turn around and sprint right into the doorway. I would have lived if I had made it inside the building.
Instead, a teammate goes sprinting out of the door the same time I try to go in, even though the game yelled at us telling a missile was inbound. Another teammate was close by, and *bam*. Triple kill. I watched the killcam going "Damn you, Damn you, Damn you."
Then again, there's also the times where it seems you're invincible or amazing, so it evens out. I don't think I'll ever forget my first Care Package/Predator Missile/Airstrike combo. Sometimes you just go on crazy kill sprees out of no-where.
@Lazyaza: I remember when Gnomer was glitched (not sure if it still is, haven't played in forever) and if you were too low of a level, you would aggro the fucking boss from the beginning of the damn instance, bringing almost the entire place with him. Like, you would get down the hallway and just see a freaking sea of enemies hauling ass ready to rape you.
Tried to nade a camper in Hardcore Team Deathmatch in Terminal. He was above where I was so I was trying to semtex the roof just above him. Instead I missed, semtex hit the wall next to me, I was stuck on some baggage and couldn't flee. Death.
My mate had died prior to that and was watching my progress.
Suffice to say he laughed. A lot
