Finally got it today. Had to post. It is an interesting story, too.

The map was Terra Therma, and everyone else on my team was dead, with exactly eight enemy players remaining. I was spaced out and hunting a DC. After killing it, they knew where I was, and three of them arrived very quickly. I don't think they got what they expected, though. With those three dead, I popped my UAV, parked with my back against a wall, shut down, and wrote them a poem:

Roses are red, violets are blue.
Pucker your [censored], I'm coming for you.

Sorry, was too preoccupied to take a screenshot of that, and their replies.

Surely enough, after 20 or so seconds, and with 90 seconds left on the clock, the rest of them arrived. I thought I had the advantage, but one of them actually spotted my shut-down robot, and started firing. Fortunately, they must have had bad communication, because the rest of them kept going. I powered on, killed my attacker, and then another two of the remaining three.

The sole remaining Catapult has by then realized that Bubba's gon' have his way, and started to run away. While slower, I managed to catch him in an open turn, and forced him to turn to face me. My teammates were hootin' and hollerin', but still, my last shot was delayed and deliberate...Because I had to finger-find my screenshot button:

final kill
scoreboard

Now, here's the kicker: I have something like 8,000 matches in this game, and have never gotten the achievement until now. I most likely have close to 200 games in which I got 7 kills. I have always played solo, and didn't group queue farm way back after release. This stupid achievement has been so frustrating and discouraging, and it never helped that I tend to play with melee builds, but I finally got it.

Ah, so it was your Mauler in red/blue livery and MLG Pro letters that I wasted on Grim Plexus Escort mission, while your tried hiding behind a pillar. Cool.

Michael you so pathetic.
He never said "I never lose a match" he did state " I have played at least 8000 matches
And never once represented that he was some "Mech God"
You can't be happy for a guy.
Haters gotta hate . . . and brag about "how they killed that guy" . . here's a pimp slap for you.

Maybe?

I don't have a perfect recollection of every single match I've played. What were you in?

Chill, mate, this was no attempt to brag or denigrate a fellow player. I posted what I did, because it's rare for me to encounter other forum members in game, considering all of us have a fair number of mechs we play. It's almost impossible to remember people's names and what mechs they pilot, in a hectic match. What's sticks to mind are camos and striking ones at that. Blitz MLG Pro Mauler caught my attention immediately.

I was in a Marauder IIC, you were giving me harassing fire from right flank at long range. At one time I said "screw it" and went from the hill after you, caught you near the area with 4 buildings and a landing pad, just off the Theta capture point. Love that camo on your Mauler. If you got other interesting camos like that you should post some screenshots in the camo thread.

Oh, I remember that one. You were in a red-ish Marauder, and you chased me around the pillar. To be fair, I just killed like two of your stragglers (I remember one being a Centurion very clearly), and I saw most of your team's blob on the map turning to head toward me. I was banged up at that point, so I let my trained, razor-sharp instincts take over.

And promptly ran around like a headless chicken.

As far as camos go, I tend to make funny/rage-inducing ones. Neon paints, ugly Christmas sweaters, color-mismatched 90s tracksuits, red/white/blue with "USA USA" or "TRUMP" in big letters, et cetera. There was one specific thing I had on an Awesome before I sold it that people actually told me was literally painful to look at (some kind of dazzle/neon combination). I noticed that people focus me down and try to go out of their way to kill me more often than if I just run a generic paint job. It's funny.

Just got ace of spades in my Redline, 9 kills!

[Steel Raven]

My Favorite title of the game

[Damogag]

Ok Stupid Question. Is Ace of Spades achieved by 8 kmdds or 8 killing blows or 8 solo kills, or some combination?

Does NOT have to be 'Solo Kill', and MUST NOT be 'KMDD'... You absolutely have to land 8 'Killing Blow' yourself.

Okay, now I'm really curious because this was so recent: what did he say?
