Commanding from 2nd CC, see our main base (IPs, ups, etc) getting hammered by full suite of dinosaurs, last remnants of the defending force fighting a losing, desperate battle.
YOU WILL NOT DIE ALONE FELLOW HUMANS. On the mic: "I'M COMING IN"
Drop an sg near my CC, trigger a final beacon at the main base, jump out of the chair and grab the shotty, get beaconed into the fray, stand with my fellow soldiers as we die in glorious, blazing, mortal combat.
Maybe this has happened to you.
You see that lone marine who has been picking off your stranglers defending a location alone. You're trailed by a lerk, fade and another skulk. Then suddenly right as your about to sink you greedy teeth into the marine. "OHHHHa" He committed suicide.
Aliens held one hive in Docking and Marines were dominating. In a last ditch effort a final rush was made on Terminal and all IPs, obs and phase were destroyed. There were no alien survivors and only two Marines who phased through after the beacon to egg lock us and subsequently could not return.
I being a total noob at the time was the first to die and the first to respawn with another guy using our last two eggs. I charged at terminal with him and together we took out one marine. My team mate died in doing so and the other Marine was already mostly finished rebuilding an IP. I floor skulked directly at him and in his cockyness I guess he figured that the floor skulk n00b was worth stopping the build to shoot.
He put several bullets in me and definitely would have killed me with his rifle...
If not for me accidentally setting off his own mine killing us both and securing a glorious alien victory.
I was commanding a game on summit, we had a PG from sub to crevice. There was a lerk who kept harassing that crevice PG for a long time, our guys managed to bring him down to very little HP and that annoying bird flew under rocks, probably to wait for safer time to go back home. By that moment, I hated him so much, as he was such a pain in the arse, I scanned crevice, logged out, phased through, jumped from the cliff and killed him in a most badass way possible while falling to my death. Didn't even forget to taunt.
Not to diminish your accomplishment but it's not the first time I've seen that.
I've personally seen a guy do that with an exo to a skulk for lulz and I've been the lerk receiving a blow from a guy with a grenade launcher who I apparently was really upsetting. I've also heard of kills like this from a few steam friends. Although I can't imagine it would ever get old to witness.
Kudos on having the good sense to scan first though. I bet he thought twice about fuckin with you after that.
My most embarrassing death is actually the reason I still play NS2. I was a total brand new n00by and went Onos because OBVIOUSLY the big rhino that costs 75 res is the most powerful... Some guy with a jetpack spent all his ammo on our hive and I chased him to falls where he solo welded me to death. I rage quit hard but from there on I promised myself I'd get better.
Actually, you can walk over the rails at the crevice entrance next to atrium. From the rocks there you get a clear LoS on everything hiding beneath the platform. No need to suicide.
Being focused down by a crew of frustrated, try-hard marines ( that really should have been shooting at other players ) after becoming too confident as a front line combat gorge.
We ware losing pretty badly and all gorges ran to cross to prepare for a hivedrop so no one healed the hive! i spotted a tunnel in reactor core and aliens was not aware of me knowing about it so i called a beacon and commander was really quick on responding to this final ALL-or-Nothing.
Its very dark and did not pic up my mic, but i am saying like follow me, dont shoot the tunnel!!! and all enter it, then countdown for popping out on the other side
I once aliased this dude's name 1:1, I pretended to be the original and called a vote to kick the "aliaser". All the dumb asses on the server couldn't tell which one is which and they all voted F1 and got the guy I aliased vote kicked.
The 2nd time I did it, everyone on the server decided to kick us both just to be sure.

Also, just a few days ago, I was playing on a rookie server (don't blame me, only server with open slots and acceptable ping), lucky for me, the marine comm was pretty experienced, and we rushed the alien hive. While all the greenies were getting bitten on and dying, I jp'd on top of the hive, and started shooting it, then started axing it. Commander then drops me cat packs on top of the hive and I'm taking out roughly 2% a seconds when the last marine goes down, and I'm the only one left in the hive room. All I can hear is the jumping of skulks, flapping of lerks, and the rumbling of oni, all scrambling around the base of the hive looking for the attacker. Thank god it was a rookie server, they all paused to type as the hive exploded, and I jp'd away.
Funny thing is, I died from some hydras on the way back. What an inglorious death.
Also, on another pug, I was fighting some div-2 comp player who was absolutely dominating as a lerk, and although I was dominating too, it wasn't nearly to his extent. I bought a JP and GL to continue my one-man siege against departures, but when I got to departures, that one lerk was there, waiting. I fired a grenade at it in mid-air, which bounced off the wall and hit the passing lerk underneath, wiping it out for good. We all cheered and celebrated until he returned as a fade with vengeance.
Earlier today I failed miserably when I tried to kill a skulk biting down crossroads extractor. He chomps it down and I run out of bullets in both guns but nearly kill him (despite firing like a stormtrooper), so I try to finish him off with my axe. He escapes down the bottomless pit by the pipe-junction/maintanance-access walkway and where I discover that he has tucked himself away in the lowest corner of the pit. I jump down, land on his head, axe him down, then fall to my death:

Disappointed one cannot perform the ultimate anymore -- self kill on mines causing hive death. Maybe I'll have to try with hand grenades.

Yeah, you're sick now.
please, treat it as read-only as replying to a 2 year old thread might be considered an act of necromancy, upsetting the forum gods.
