So...what was your most memorable, epic, heroic ect moment in playing any game.

Mine would have to be when I was playing SH3. It was nearly sun down on the great high seas. I was stalking one a convoy of ships composed mostly of large cargo ships, I was waiting till night fall to strike. Although soon me and my crew would be running out of air and have to surface. I planned to make a quick attack and then surface, head full speed in the opposite direction of the nearest escort, and dive as deep as I could as soon as all oxygen was replenished. This would not be the case. I was busy scoping out the best targets while keeping a close eye on the two escorts that were guarding the rear end of the convoy. And then as I looked around through my periscope I quickly said to myself "where the hell did other one go". I almost instinctively looked aft of my sub and there he was coming in at full speed, not even time to lower my periscope. I broke away from the convoy intent on losing this escort, knowing if I didn't shake him soon he would land a set of depth charges on us making it even harder to escape. Of coarse I couldn't afford this as we were low on air. Sure enough he lands 2 depth charges right on us. That SOB comes around again; nails us hard. About half a dozen men down on deck three compartments flooding fast. This continues for about ten minutes before I decide to blow ballasts and surface. With nearly zero chances of survival, it was our only chance (go figure). At this point I accidentally hit the play media button on my keyboard and The Last Stand begins to play (orchestra, trumpets). I try to out run him but it's no use, so the battle becomes my deck gun against a fully armed escort. By some stoke of luck we actually defeated the escort (must have hit ammunition stash). During the battle we were hit several time by the escort. When we sailed back into port not to my surprise our hull integrity was only 7%.

So between the coincidental orchestral symphony playing, the beautiful sun set, and the classic case of David vs. Goliath this has to be the most epic moment of gaming history for me.

Halo 2, Midship. A 25 point death match between me, my friend, and his neighbor.

At the time the pecking order in terms of skill was: Friend's neighbor < Me < My friend.

I spent most of the match picking on the neighbor kid, as I knew I wouldn't be able to win enough times against the other opponent. This worked, I tied my friend for the lead at 24 points. One more kill would end the match.

I grabbed the dual needlers ( http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/heart.gif ), and prayed to find an easy victim. Midship is a very small map, I would have to find my friend's neighbor very quickly; a 30 second budget, being generous.

I never found him, however. Instead I ran into none other than the man I was tied with. He was carrying a battle rifle, a weapon he had mastered above all others.

I unleashed my can of Shaq-fu first, dumping a good drag of bright-pink needles into his breastplate.

He charged through the girly-colored procession and unleashed his own foray in the form of a plasma grenade. It did what plasma grenades do; melded into my own armor and began to amass toward it's explosion.

The slightest sliver of a second separated the detonation of my needles and the burst of the grenade.

I won. And have not yet lived that moment down.

Well now, mine is by no means heroic, nor would I call it epic...it was however memorable.

Back in 1999 I was playing BATTLEZONE online on HEAT.NET a LOT. I was really into the Deathmatch games, and would play for hours. LOTS of hours http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

One Sunday afternoon, I was in a pretty good match where I and two friends were playing as a team against 3 other guys. Now we had a serious advantage because were were using Roger Wilco for voice chat which was really new at the time and very few folks were using it.

Now we had been at it for quite some time, and it was pretty intense. We had a pretty good lead on them, and nature had been calling to me for some time, and finally I just HAD to go, or I was going to be sitting in a wet seat http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

So, I parked myself off in a corner, and told my buds that I was gonna take a quick whizz, and to keep me safe until I got back. I then, turned my swivel chair, and took a quick step in the directions of the john, and...

Have you ever sat for a long time with your legs crossed, and have one 'go to sleep'? I mean SERIOUSLY 'to sleep', to the point that it won't support you until you get some blood flowing? I have, and on that occasion it did. Now this wouldn't normally present a problem as you just wait until most of the tingling goes away, and you can use the leg. However, THIS time, I was moving fast and didn't have time to realize my condition.

I turned.

I Launched (with the good leg).

I crumpled to the floor after hearing a loud 'pop' from my right ankle as it folded under me due to absolutely no feeling in my right leg. Seconds later, I DID get feeling, and it wasn't plesant. That damned ankle HURT! I tried to stand, and couldn't, and ended up CRAWLING to the john on my hands and knees, and sitting to pee. As it turned out, that wasn't too bad of an idea, as the pain was getting so intense that I started to get tunnel vision like I was going to pass out, so sitting with my head down between my knees turned out to be a good option.

Well, that ended my BZ for the afternoon. In fact, I couldn't go into work on Mon and Tue because my ankle had swelled up so bad. To this day, I don't know whether I actually broke my ankle, or just seriously sprained it. All I know is that it hurt, and it was a month or two until I could really put any stress on it without some pain.

Now as bad as that was, what was worse was explaining to my employer, family, and friends, that, "Yes, I did it playing a game on my computer." Yes, I know I'm 54 but what does that have to do with it?".

Now there was one good thing out of the whole affair. HEAT.NET gave out PURPLE HEART awards for guys that got hurt somehow when playing online, and I was one of the very few that got one http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

playing NHL 95, I was down a goal with 5 seconds left. Stanley Cup finals, playing as the New York Rangers, skated out of my own end and with time winding down took a last desperate shot from the red line. The opposition goalie still in, Esa Tikkanen took a wicked slapshot and scored with 0.5 left on the clock. I then went on to win in OT.

On Battlefield Vietnam when I went all "Rambo" and hid in the back of an enemy MIL, placed c4 in it. Waited for a load of guys to get in then ran past them jumped out the back, parachuted then detonated the c4 killing about 9 of them.

I got a lot of insults over chat after that.

Ill say one thing, no game has ever produced such epic moments for me as il2 has. There are just too many to list.

I shared great partnerships, flew high altitude bombruns with coordinated escorts, flew low level bombing runs on sub pens and even flew displays for friends, this game just did it all for me, all of the highs and lows and wows a game should have. And i cant wait to be doing it all again. Even the landings produced in this game can be as tense as the high points of other games. One landing on a carrier?? yes please.

Other epic games? Show me them and ill give them a go. Ok i admit B17 was pretty heavy sometimes, with fighters all over you as you aimed the sight, and MOHFrontline was great for its time. Im also getting some pretty dramatic stuff out of F1 at the moment, but nothing comes close to the times ive had with this. It can just be so intense sometimes, so fun.

I can think of a few throughout the years, but a recent one sticks in my head.

I logged onto UKDed3, my first time flying on that server. The map was Murmansk Summer, I was in a La-5FN. I took off, meandered around for a couple of minutes, until I saw some tracer fire. made my way there, gaining some altitude along the way. I see a 109 just finish off a teammate, so I dove on him, but he spotted me as he was zooming up. He jinked quite a bit, defeating my shots each time, but I finally shot him down.

Just them, I saw the a message saying that there was 5 minutes left on this mission. Ok, back to base. Before I could gain some altitude, another 109 comes racing in, firing his guns. He missed, and we went into a wild dogfight. about 30 seconds in, I had an oppotunity, so I went for it......and my guns were dry. No ammo what so ever. D'Oh!

Ok, can't run, he'll take me down. No choice but to continue with the dogfight, maybe force him to crash, or the time will run out on the map. At the moment neither of us had no clear advantage.

And so, we continued to maneuver around each other until the time ran out on the map, about 4 minutes, and it ended in a draw. The things that stuck out in my mind was that my opponent was really good, I was actually holding my own, and had a couple of chances to shoot him down if I had ammo. AFAIK, he still had ammo, but never fired at me again. Either he was waiting for the right moment, or I danced around him enough to stay out of his line of fire. And lastly, I rarely fly the La5-FN. I was feeling pretty good after that one.

One other that was crazy. When I picked up Baldur's Gate, I sat down and played for about 12 hours straight, with the occasional bathroom and snack break. 12 hours, and I had barely scratched the surface of that wonderful game.

one that springs to mind - first time i'd played FSM's luftwaffe pilot:afrika corp campaign. there i was, all bombed up to raid an airfield, when we get bounced on take off by a mass of enemy fighters. somehow managed to prevent all but one friendly loss and got 9 kills to boot. one of those rare occasions (for me at least)where every round seemed to find pilot, fuel tank or engine.

I used to play BZ on HEAT.NET back then too.

My most epic game happened when I was visiting a friend who was a beginner with BZ. He was busy playing a 1 vs 1 strategy match online when I showed up at his house. I was talking with his wife and kids in another part of the house when he yelled that he was getting his butt kicked, and could I take over for him.

I ran into the room and traded places with him at the computer. I took a quick situation assessment, and it didn't look good. (When we was in the bocage country, we was assaulted by them Tigers! You know what I mean by "assaulted"? Well, I mean assaulted! http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif)

He set up his base in a big cul-de-sac, and was trapped. I was in a "Grizzly" hovertank. Instead on trying to repair the base like he was trying to do, I took the fight outside and got the opponent in a bottleneck between ridges where he couldn't flank me. At the same time I was trying to stay alive, I was giving repair orders, having the factories build new units, and have ammo and repair packs dropped to me.

At some point my ship was destroyed, and I was consequently ejected from my tank. (in BZ, when a ship was destroyed, the pilot ejected high into the air and slowly drifted back down to the ground.) My base was then completely destroyed. After that, I was on foot. I would snipe his tanks and commandeer them when opportunity knocked. I knew how to get up onto the plateau whereas he did not, and would hit his base from there if I could. (At one point, he thought I was cheating, so I then told him the method of how to go about getting up onto the plateau to allay his suspicion.) He would finally zero in and start having arty dropped on me, making me have to break off the attack. This game lasted approx. eight hours, with him trying to use everything he had to hunt me down. I think I wore out a few pairs of vitual boots with all of the running around that I did. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/winky.gif

He finally got me, and he messaged me afterwards. He wrote "You are bad@ss!" He went on to write that it was THE best game that he played so far because of the suspense of not knowing where I was going to be next gave him the heebie-jeebies. I don't remember his moniker, but I do remember that he was from Louisiana.

RAF_OldBuzzard, what was your BZ handle? I played as "Ironbar", and as "Rowdy Yates".

Remember the OFC Clan (Old Farts' Clan), where to be 60+ years old to qualify for membership, or something like that?

Do you remember the LoC (Lords of Chaos) Clan, and how they would play polite and sucker unsuspecting new players into a deathmatch, and then proceed to ******** them 6-1? They tried to do this to me a few times, but I got my virtual pound of flesh from them. After they tried a few more times to get revenge, they didn't do it anymore. I would wait out into the lobby, and when I saw them text and lure someone into a game, I would jump into the room before the LoC Clan members could lock it with their one victim inside. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/59.gif I dislike virtual bullies worse than the ones in real life.

About the Roger Wilco: I found out completely by accident that there were three guys working at the same company that I did who played BZ. They worked in the software, electronics, and hardware design departments. They also were roommates who had their gaming computers set up in the same room, and would talk to one another when playing. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/shady.gif I always assumed that they were using Roger Wilco! That explained why they were so good at tactics. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-very-happy.gif

My "epic" moment came when I was playing the very last level of X-wing Alliance, and I was escaping the Death Star after blowing up the reactor.
Getting in and launching the kill blow was quite easy but getting out again was as hard as a T Rex's turd to complete, what was worse was that you had to fly a different route than the one you used to get in. I had gotten quite tired at that time of the in game music and I had taken to playing CDs in Media Player in the background, at the time I had a Queen album on, A Kind Of Magic to be precise.
As I turned to leave after blowing up the reactor I pressed play and I had One Vision blasting down my headphones as I made my escape, The song came to an end just as I reached the exit for my escape.
Another more recent one was on Lock On, on the second mission of the Su-27 campaign where you have to intercept the HVA (a C130 I think). I conducted a radar silent attack using the IRST. During the final seconds before I launched my attack I kept thinking "I hope my wingnut doesn't bollocks this up", luckily he just pottered off somewhere and let me get on with the job at hand (like IL-2 the AI in Lock On has brain farts too http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/51.gif).

That was a great game. Not as great as Tie Fighter, but pretty close. I recall having a hell of a time with that last mission. Then again, the really hard Death Star mission was at the end of the original X-Wing. That was tough!

My BZ handle was OldBuzzard to start with and then changed to OldBuzzardOFC.

I WAS the OFC and it was 50 to join and then dropped to 45 to join...however, no one else had the cajones to admit how old they were so the OFC didn't really exist in BZ http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/51.gif

I was primaraly a Razor guy. I could rock and roll in a DM with that...especially with a TAG cannon. The guys with the Rocket Tanks hated me cause I could drop navs to decoy them. I think I was one of the few that used a joystick instead of the keyboard, and I had the old Sidewinder Pro pretty well programmed.

Ejections were fun, We found out that in the Collisium map, that if you stacked a bunch of mines at the bottom of the steps, and then came down to them in a Bomber that you would clear the center column, go to the farside of the map, and bounce off the side. If you worked it right, you could either land on top of the column, of just clear it, and land back where you started from.

If you remember HEAT.NET ran all sorts or promotions/giveaways, and I got one SERIOUS bunch of goodies for being one of about 3 or 4 guys that logged on and played on HEAT.NET every day for a whole year. Among other things, I scored a VooDoo Banshee card from that. Later, in one of the BZ only promotions I won a 3COM(?) 56K GAMEING Modum, which was THE kickass modem of the day. Unfortunately, I had just upgraded to DSL about a month before that.

I still have BZ, and there is still a BZ community out there. I may have to load it up, and see how it works with my X52

Man, you did play a lot. I used a 1st gen. sidewinder(which I still have.)when I played. Using this stick definitely gave an advantage in that the twist grip allowed you to strafe with ease. I would usually play online on friday-Saturday nights. Because I would play a lot of BZ strategy games, I ended up playing these 1-6 hour 1 vs 1 marathons against the people who specialized in them.

I finally realized how much time I was spending with the game when my friends began to wonder where I was after I quit answering the phone during these matches. Also, I learned from other people's examples that male/female relationships do not mix well with habitual online gaming. This is why I do not play with online games/explosives anymore. ("Hey, do you want to watch a movie with me tonight?" "Nah, I'm playing IL2 online right now, and I can't let my squadron down because we're almost to the target. I won't abandon them now." http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/winky.gif)

I used to love the BZ deathmatch games. I learned lots of tactics from other people using them on me, such as dropping mines near the ammo and powerup locations. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-very-happy.gif

I have BZ loaded on my computer, and play it once in a while. It works great with a Radeon x1900 card, and a Thrustmaster Afterburner FFB. I also have BZ II, but never liked it near as well as the first one.

Do you have the big map pack that had lots of player made single player scenarios and MP maps, or the "Red Odyssey" add on that pitted you against the Red Chinese instead of the Soviet Union?

Many epic moments after years of gaming, but the most momentous for me was playing a table-top game campaign of Star Fleet battles.

I was playing the Gorn empire and one of neighbors was a obnxious guy running the Lyrans who had kicked my *** last campaign when I was a noobie.

The Lyrans were fairly fast ships to begin, with far-reaching firepower, and his guy bent the rules a bit to create an even faster battle fleet.

Part of the trick of SFB is allocating limited power to move, fire weapons, etc, but this guy created a command ship squadron that could fire at long range AND move quickly. He used a converted fleet tug with a battle pallet to create a 8 disrupter cruiser, which was more firepower than his dreadnought!

The Gorn had powerful ships, but were armed with plasma torpedoes which packed a big punch, but had to be launched and track targets, losing energy with distance. They also took 3x as long to arm as his heavy weapons. I could bolt the torps, making them into innaccurate direct-fire weapons, but the hit chances were not great, and with Electronic warfare, my chances would be pitiful.

With this guy's speed and ability to fire and hit immediately, it looked to everyone like I was going down as he could shoot me from even a short distance, and then zip away as my torpedoes trailed, and died, behind him.

My only advantages were.

*I could field all cruisers and a DN, while he was forced to field some smaller ships

*My ships could absorb more of a beating.

*In his race to build his uber-fleet
his did not develop fighter or missile tech.

But, my fighter also used plasma, so their offensive use was limited.

I sat down to figure out how to beat this guy when no one else thought I could.

I realized several things:

1-While he deployed EW ships, he could not cover all his ships with EW protection.

2-While his tug had the most firepower, it also had the weakest shielding of almost all the units.

3-The Tug also did not have much auxiliary engine power, which mean damage to its engines would immediately slow it down. All the other ships had some reserve engine power.

4-Slow ships and plasma meant death to the ships.

5-My fighters, while not offensive, were EXTREMELY good at defense.

6-This guy was arrogant and it could be used against him.

When the battle took place, the Lyrans swung in close to nail me good. Even with evasive maneuvering, he severely damaged a carrier but not enough to knock it out of the fight and I barreled forward.

He turned, but too late, and had not bothered to power up his Electronic warfare. I closed to near close range, and when he turned his flank shields to me, I let rip with everything I had with no firing penalties.

The bolted torps and phasers obliterated the tug's shield easily, and $&%&!* it up good. The damage to its engines meant it could not maintain fleet speed for the rest of the battle.

What ensued was the Lyrans kept using their DN to try and drag the tug to keep up, lest it fall prey to my slowly advancing fighters. This kept them distracted for half the time.

For the other half, whenever the Lyrans tried to attack me while I was rearming, my fighter would get in their face and they could not get past them to land a good blow on my ships. At one point the fighters fired their phasers en masse and wrecked a battle cruiser's shield.

They got some shots in, but for every 3 glancing one they landed, I hit them hard when I was rearmed.

By the end, they had to abandon the battle tug, and lost two additional warships before fleeing.

While I had several ships damaged, none were lost or even critically off-line. I only lost a few fighters.

I beat this guy so bad, he wouldn't even play out the rest of the scenario, but handed it off to someone else to finish.

My only regret was that the campaign did not go long enough to reach his homeworld.
