During the tourney I saw an ember suffer an ammo explosion, then superman off the upper platform on crimson to belly flop in the water. I laughed so hard I wound up knocking my mouse behind my desk and frantically running around keyboard-only with my torso twisted completely to the side

The other notable one was a highlander that jumped over me, got "stuck" hovering above our base on caustic... when he died, he launched WAY up in the air and landed out in the water. I don't have either on video

Does anyone have video of exceptionally awesome deaths? Anyone capture a stalker sliding face first down the mountains in alpine? A raven "rolling over" after taking a gauss? Post 'em up! Or tell us about them

Speaking of embers, I've seen some do hilarious cart wheels when trying to scout on the hill at saddle after getting their XL popped by Gauss.

See, I think it's also due to people stashing ammo in the CT

I'd love them to impliment critical mass explosions.

I saw a last survivor Stalker die and fall forward onto the Ember shooting at him. He was the last death so it must have been hilarious for the Ember pilot to have his controls locked while a giant Stalker fell into him nose-first.

I think the best ones are when you see a Light getting ganked by an AC20 or a Gauss/PPC combo. I saw a Spider come charging at YLW, and when he got hit he just muppet-flopped over the head of the YLW.

My favorite so far was a Kit Fox in midjump getting CT Cored, it hit the ground on its head, its legs folded over its CT and its JJs kept firing at random, so it looked it like was having nitro farts.

And I would love it if people would remember that doesn't happen in the lore with fusion engines. It came about because of Michael Stackpole books and the intro cutscenes of the video games....who all got it wrong.

"But it looks cool, dude! That is now nuclear reactors work!"

No, they don't.

It even has a name in the BattleTech boardgame circles. Stackpolling.

Good to know, I'm still trying to catch up on 30 years of lore even if they are basics.

I'm really hoping some PGI guys come along with some good ones

when you're the dev, you can script out ALL sorts of hilarity.
FREE PR! Show us some splosions!

Haven't seen a REALLY good rag-doll death since CB and the intro of the Raven....

While hunting two urban Dire Whales, I came across this fabulous individual, in his natural habitat.

Are you serious?!? You just gonna stand there while looks for his contact lenses?

This afternoon I was on Alpine and I encountered an enemy Shadow Hawk who ran up a hill and into my team. When he died he fell on his back, and then proceeded to roll down the hill. It took almost a minute for his corpse to roll all the way down. It was pretty amusing to watch.

[SaltBeef]

I think I got one of my warhawk with floating arms legs and torso's. If I find it I will post.

[Impyrium]

This guy sorta just... froze mid arm ejection. They say the white of my Timber Wolf turns Daishis to stone. I suppose this one looked me in the eye.
