For those matches with epic endings.

Everyone dies except the Atlas who was capping so kept our point score up enough to win.

Spoiler

A Dire Wolf does the exact same thing.

Example of those rare tie endings.

Yes it came down to my Panther vs a Dire Wolf who had yellow CT internals in the last 2-3 minutes. I did try to kill him, ran out of SMRs then he shot off my MPLs so I stayed out of sight for somewhere up to 30 seconds.

Spoiler

Pilot hit Advanced Zoom just as I took the screenshot, he said he never saw an Atlas so shot up.

Close games. Love that Atlas screen shot.

I had one game that stands out. I was the final player in a CW match, with 1 minute and change left I killed the last enemy mech, limped up to the omega - and proceeded to shoot it with my 3 medium lasers (SRM ammo gone) in my Wolvernine 7K. In the last 6 second the Omega blew. Was a good game, praise my team because I did not do well that game.

The mechs in those first two matches got lucky. I facepalm every time a 100-tonner attempts to cap by himself instead of attacking. I had a King Crab do that on my team last night in Assault on the Bog map. He was last man standing (because he wandered off to the enemy base alone) and did <50 damage.

Last week we had a crazy PUG match on Canyon Network.

It was a very even fight, never a team over 2 kills from the other, and the tides kept on changing.

I was one of the last 3 guys on my team in a Panther that was cored everywhere w no arm.

Eventually it came down to two guys, one on each team, both CT cored. Our guy was a hellbringer did an ambush to the other guy (a thunderbolt I think). Invisible rock made our guys shot miss. Then they started to reposition.

Our guy had a CERPPC and a few med lasers. The enemy had 2 large and some wub. Our guy got his distance, waited, saw the enemy and shot! He hit the enemy's side torso. The enemy dropped to the Canyon.

Both guys seeing that time was running out sought each other, only to find each other with 5 seconds left.

The match ended in a tie. Probably the only truly deserved tie I've played.

At work now so no pic. But still EPIC.

When you end a match with Evil Conquest Points.

Matches with only 1 Mech left standing.

Earlier today I had a match where my (B)Adder got 1233 damage and 4 kills...


We were on Moonbase and most of my team had died. Myself and a friendly Doomcrow had retreated to the outer wall perimeter from our red team pursuers. I think there was something like 6 or 7 enemies alive at this point. No fewer than 5. We actually managed to take out of those several damaged enemies as they funneled in the doorway/around the corner and tried to trade salvos with us. If they had all pushed us at once, they probably would have won...but they were very reluctant if not a bit cowardly.

I was in a position where I could snipe their faces with my dual LPL, so when they tried to peek out they got hit in the face by 26 points of long-range laser vomit. Since they didn't bother twisting all that much, their juicy XLs and/or CTs were delicious. *Licks lips*

Eventually the Crow got papercutted to death and it was just me. I took down another red team Grasshopper and then it was just me and an orange-CT Battlemaster. At this point I had a cherry red CT, a destroyed leg, an orange remaining leg, and moderately damaged everything else. He knew his Medium Lasers would lose a ranged fight against me horribly, so he started to move in closer...

I hit override in antipation of a thermal shutdown from firing, and I let loose another salvo at him...but he managed to get covered by a terrain crater just in time to not die. Meanwhile, my heat bar exceeded 100%, and so I finally died from overheating. If I had not gotten slightly triggerhappy at the last moment, there was a very significant chance I could have dropped him and won the match (if I could react faster than he did, because he could have finished me with one hit easily).


I WAS ONE SALVO AWAY FROM CARRYING HARD AND ALMOST SINGLEHANDEDLY WINNING THE MATCH WITH AN ADDER! WITH JUST 2 LARGE PULSES!

But still, even with my derp error, it was a legit ggclose. Clothes game.

Here's one of a few match videos I have of epic matches.



Me and 3 members of the Seraphim's 7th company with a lance from the FWLM have a wild match with a fitting ending.

Music was added in game, so it's even more amazing when I think of it in a technical way.

[Kjudoon]

Some would consider this the perfect loss. Personally, it drives me crazy that I found perfect music to fit what happened. It's a long match, but worth seeing it to the very end all the way through IMHO.

[Kjudoon]

Talk about your building tension! What started out as a slow and sedate match on Alpine Peaks turned into an orgy of steel, light and flame with one bad kitty in the middle of the final fracas. The Panther has 9 lives folks, and burned off at least 7 here.

[Porcorosso101]

Massive brawl on crater map - our last Raven X with LPLs is orange/red all over and legged. The last enemy raven mech has disconnected at his base with all his defence turrets operational....

So we are keep constantly advising him to back off, one missile will get his last leg...he sneaks up to enemy base and gets high ground. 60 secs left on clock to go for a draw, spots the dnc enemy raven at max LPL range, so he shoots and he keeps hill humping to avoid the turret missiles, with last 3 secs on clock, he gets the side torso XL engine: WIN!!!

Suddenly the VOIP was filled with congrats our team, amazing match,totally nail biting!

[Wildstreak]

First Johnny Five thought the 5th was a discon I was going to give to the Atlas-S but he died from turrets on the way.

From sometime ago.

Got down to us 2 vs a Stalker near the Island in the water of Crimson Strait and the Raven was banged up so I had to play target circling him while we picked him apart. Was 3 of them vs 2 of us before that too.


Never saw a Discon survive before, we just could not find him.


Last enemy was a Crab, Panther overheated so it was 100 tonner vs 100 tonner.


2 v 2 near end, enemy had a Locust and one other. Funny thing was the 1 other and allied Mad Dog both ran no Energy so both were outta ammo. 1 other died to the Crab then the Locust tried pecking at them then isolating the Dog but lost.

[LordKnightFandragon]

This match was epic simply because it didnt revolve around the damn Nascar crater and a 2 minute 1-12 wipe....Instead, the enemy team decided they would fight from the hills off the left? A line I think it was. Our team took the crater and held our base. THey struck early, getting 0-1, but we eventually struck back, 3-1, and it was a nice back and forth for awhile until finally it was 11-6, they had one mostly dead spider left who hid in base. And much to my amazement the team didnt rush into the gun turrets and die to a mostly cored out SDR, thinking "easy kill"........

Eventually the SDR, after a minute or so of peeking behind a big canister in the fuel plant just rushed us and ended it.

As boring as this game is most times, occasionally, a good game comes along that makes it feel like it has some fun in it.

LOL, that was an epic match, pretty awesome outcome there. They tried base rush, you all stuffed it badly.

[Kjudoon]

Jumping off Sniper Peak, I felt like an X-Games Motocross rider. If you could have heard the chatter, it'd have been better to watch, but I didn't have my in client VOIP set up yet for that.

I was sure I was dead at any second after I got to the second atlas as has happened so many times before.
