I'm sure a lot of us have had incredible matches. Some might even have had euphoric moments in the heat of battle. Post a great story you had. If you have screens of your battle, by all means show it off.

I've played this game for about a year now and I'd have to say I've had the most awesome battle today, as a locust pilot no less! It was a skirmish match, and my team wittled away until I was the only one left, against 4 enemies. I decided to huddle near the turrets of my base and luckly they came one by one. I barely managed to kill one when the next came. Finally it ended with me being legged and squaredancing with an atlas around my base, and when I finished him off, that was the most epic moment, people freaked out. Best moment ever. Not only did I do top damage as a locust, I survived through hell on only one leg. Unforgettable

Long time ago, during closed beta.

Played a match where I was in my Jenner, and the rest of the team got killed off. It was just me left against four other 'mechs.

Took all of them out on my own.

It was a good day.

I can't play like that, anymore. Having moved to Japan, my average ping has gone from 20 to 200. I can barely even use lights anymore due to rubber banding.

My best moment was when i got accepted as a closed beta tester.

Here's one of my favorite moments.

[Captain Pee Sheets]

Probably when I went 11 kills/12 assists in my Death's Knell pre-HSR.

Here's some more great stuff.









The patch before they unleashed 3rd person on us, I had 50 of my guys on fooling around in the 12 manz, saying their good-byes to the game as it were.

Out of my 84 peak players, only a mere 10 are still playing.

Not the best thing on the planet, but it was a good match and I wanted to make a video out of it. Sorry for the potato quality, I had the wrong codec set when I recorded, and the fidelity suffered If you turn on HD it's not too bad.

That being said, here you go:

well,
if your talking about a best moment...
once, on alpine, i managed to get 2 kills in one shot, using 2 ERLL. the enemy mechs were both cherry red in the CT and all i had to do was graze both of them in one shot. it was the best moment ive had in the game.

if your talking about a match...
then this would be my best match: i had to compensate for a disco and another mech who did 0 damage.


*dont ask for the build, its top secret, all i can say is... no LRMs and the alpha was 49 damage.

Well this is team base game, so for me the most epic moment is kinda like this. Lool at the chat, and sorry for English.

[Kiiyor]

I got stuck on terrain, in the exact same place on frozen 2 matches in a row. In the first one, I managed to get a kill. Someone joked that I made a good turret. On the second one, after mournfully announcing my uselessness in chat, we were down to just me in my Awesome 4xSRM6 honey badger, and 2 enemy Commandos.

I announced my intention to play dead, and lure them in. Everyone was on board. They picked at me for a while, then one of the guys on my team says "FFS, quit screwing around and headshot him". They moved in for the kill... and I blew them to smithereens. There was much rejoicing.

Also...

Me (Ember) and friend (Huginn), spreading and killing the last 11 enemies after the rest of our team was wiped out.

[Be Rough With Me Plz]

Didn't get Willard Phule's comment because everyone was leaving the match, but it went along the line of, "Your mech must have had some lag shield," and some other nonsense about my team having all the good pugs.

Made me laugh. Finally unlocking the Ace of Spades achievement as a brawler in the same match was a nice bonus.

So, my daugher has finally learned how to be gentle enough to handle our mostly tame found-it-on-the-street-as-a-kitten destroyer of shapes boxes cat, Hugo.

I just laughed so hard that he launched himself into orbit while she was ever so carefully scratching under his chin.

I think it's a show of her character that she's putting her own bandaids on. I might let her run in Sarah's mech later as a salute to her bravery.

Maybe have a tonnage limit on respawns for each team? And force all the respawns to use (c) mechs. Randomly determined (c) mechs.

Well one thing I will agree on it that it is likely that most of the people who are currently playing clan mechs are likely veterans of the game by now because you have to pretty much really like the game to invest $30-$240 on a bunch of pixels.

This may also account for the fact that Clan mechs seem OPed to some people as well. I mean generally a good pilot in a mediocre design will out perform a bad pilot in a good design so I am not sure why it is surprising anyone that the typical Clan pilot, with alot of experience in the game is just a tad better than the average pilot out there.

One of the ones that kinda stands out was playing on Alpine, had a decent team, we wore the enemy down and I said "OK, now its time. LET'S ROLL OVER THEM!" and charged in. 6 kills in under a minute

EDIT: Most kills, since the wipe would have been yesterday with 10 kills. Before that were my 8 rounds when we only had 8 man teams. If I think of it, I'll try to remember to upload screen shots.

EDIT2: Here's an 8 kill round from the old days, can't find the ones with the horrid end of round summary that were before that...




..and the 10 kill round from the other day.



...for certain there were no PPCs, but I honestly can't remember if it had Gauss or CUAC10s...I'm torn between the two since they both have big advantages over each other in certain situations.
