mine was when i was in my cent al and i got atacked by a fairly healthy catapult and i was on critical i had 2 med pulse lasers left and i killed him along with a heavily damaged stalker and i won the game with 1000 damage!

[DegeneratePervert]

When my friend and I ended up on opposing teams, and I one-shot his Atlas with my AC/20 Catapult. Not that impressive, I know, but it felt good.

[TheMadPoet]

My most intense kill(s) were pre-ecm days in my Raven 3L, with 3 med lasers and two srm6's. We were playing Frozen City map and I ended up being the last mech on my team still alive, with three enemies still ticking. I ran to cap...as it was my only choice really, and they came after me. The first was an enemy catapult, and I used the surrounding buildings to my advantage, firing and ducking.

I only had a top speed of just over 100kph in that build, but was manuevarable enough to keep hitting and running. Then a hunchback shows up and I was picking away at both of them. I managed to kill the Pult, then was dancing with the Hunchy and I was real banged up by this time.

Suddenly there is the third enemy mech, another Hunchback. I got lucky and he got caught up in the cap structure and I got a nice clean back shot on him to finish him, and then the last hunch made a run for it, Just as I was aiming at his nice red back, I got the cap and the victory.

Was great, with my team cheering me on in chat.

First time I used the 6xSRM6 Catapult. This was well before ECM was released, mind you, back when people were raging over the Streak Cats, and I was laughing at everyone.

Second match I took it out, River City. Walked across the water from the lower side to lower city. 2v1ed a Hunchback and an Atlas, came out with hardly a scratch (I killed them both in 2-3 Alpha strikes each).
-------------------

Second favorite was the one that gave me my first 1k damage game.

[Malora Sidewinder]

There was a lagmando with 400 ping running ECM on our team. i took a few seconds to line up my gauss shot next to the ship on forest colony. as soon as i squeeze the trigger, my teammate in the lagmando runs out next to the ship, intercepts my gauss slug dead on crit center torso and explodes.

Soloing a fresh Atlas with my 2D with three streaks on Caustic.
Have come close since, but nothing else to write about.

[Beo Vulf]

Alpha strike to the face of a trash talking raven pilot which dropes him like a rock.

[M0oP0o]

First match after latest netcode fix.

Aimed at a Raven and when I fired, it died.

[XanderTuringVTuber]

Back in closed beta, I was pugging in my Founder's Atlas, on forest colony. Game is going normally, I stay at medium range and play defensively. I get a single kill with my Gauss, nothing too special there. Enemy scouts start capping, so I turn around(I'm still close to the base) and find 2 Jenners harassing a friendly K2. The K2 and I fight them, and I take one out with with my 2 SRM's, and the other with a Gauss slug as he circles past. I feel nice, 3 kills, but the K2 lost a leg and an arm. So, I decide to stick with him and we snipe a little.

Trouble brews. The last other members on our team are killed, leaving me and the K2 against an Awesome, an Atlas, and a Hunchback. Luckily, they all have little armor on their CTs. I back up, advising the K2 to do the same, but in his turning around,he gets shot and dies. I move up over the hill and spot the Atlas, and the Hunchback and Awesome are behind a hill, coming to join him. Enemy Atlas and I have a shootout, but I Gauss him in the CT as he comes across the cauldron, and he goes down. The Awesome and the Hunchback start to approach, the Awesome in front and the Hunch to my left flank. The Hunchback arrives first, I turn around and launch my SRMs and Gauss into him, killing him as the Awesome comes over the hill.

...then the Awesome turns around and starts running away. I chase him over the hill and Alpha in his rear torso, leaving me with the only 6-kill game I've ever had, in a last stand, pugging.

[DrSecretStache]

This.

[Hot Rod]

i'm in internals, powering up after overheat and made a left turn.
trying to retain lock on the cat i fought before. getting hit by ac5 fire and kinda scared (like when you get jumped) i pulled the trigger.

the LL sweeps over the whole screen getting near the head of the cat and an explosion happens in the background.

i killed the ac5 mech in a super lucky stray shot and the cat felt a second after that.

[Joseph Mallan]

I Killed Myownfather. The name didn't make a lot of sense till I got the kill shot. And the game posted up, "Joseph Mallan Killed Hisownfather."

Absolute win for a name!

[Nathan Foxbane]

Not my most satisfying kills, but by far my most amusing are old ones. When I first got my CDA-3C I think it was, just before ECM got put in, I put just an ER PPC on it, added DHS and endosteel on it, and maxed the armor. First game in it and I could not hit a 'Mech with the ER PPC to save my life, missed every shot. I still managed to kill two lights, both with collisions. I am sure the Jenner that was the last 'Mech on the other team left standing had some choice words on his end when my Cicada ran him down and smashed through his rear torso.

Doing conquest in forest colony the other day in my CDA 3-C, running with another Cicada, capping spots, an opposing Dragon comes up and tries to bully the cap, Both Cicadas did a COD on the Dragon in opposite directions, we picked his mech clean. We proceeded to another cap and picked an Atlas as well. It was so fluid and effortless like dancing, around them. Wish I remembered they other players name.

[Moridan]

Two come to mind:

First was in my tiny Com-2D. After running around being a general nuisance in a River City PUG, I found myself as the last person alive on my team. Two people left on the opposing team, and they decided to try and cap us. I rush back to our base to find... 2 D-DC Atlases. I dodged and weaved between buildings taking shots of opportunity. I was able to pull one away from the other so I could counter their ECM to hit with my streaks. I finally take him down but I am out of streaks. I go back to the other Atlas and do pretty well but he eventually legs me... and its over. Was.. so... close...

Second happened the other night with a 4 man in Forest Colony. I was in my Twin-Gauss IM and my team was out numbered with three enemy mechs remaining. Running low on ammo, It looked like it was over but then within 30 seconds... I spotted a UAC phrack on a distant hillside, pulled the trigger. Went down. Noticed a Med mech coming down the valley to close on me. Pulled the trigger, and he exploded in a ball of sparks. The last was a Jenner that was circling my last remaining teammate. From my vantage point on top of a hill, I looked almost straight down on the light and twitched with my last shot, putting him down. I was screaming along with my team in TS, was flipping glorious.

[StolenPopemobile]

Two of them.

First was a brawl on Forest Colony, I was in my DRG-5N which sported a Gauss and a pair of AC/2s, just after their projectile speed was buffed. I cut left at the pipe-bridge and dropped down into the stream, heading for the open water, only to realize that there was a Hunchback coming upstream from the water, with a gausscat trailing him close behind and slightly to the left. I admit to panicking; I was critical in a number of locations and carrying a whole lot of AC/2 ammo. So I snapped off a not-well-aimed shot with the Gauss, which missed the hunchback entirely. It did, however, core out the gausscat just behind him. Because I totally meant to do that, right?

Second one was on Frozen City, I'm in the same Dragon. My team is being overrun down near the crashed dropship, and there's this Raven running through, lagshield in full effect, legging everyone he sees. He gets behind me as I'm busy applying dakka to an Awesome, and removes my right leg. His mistake, though, is running directly past me in a straight line, back to front. I twist away from the Awesome, try to line up a shot on the Raven, fully expecting him to turn and waste my round. He didn't turn. He didn't get the fancy tumbling death-animation - he just stopped dead in his tracks and went directly to spectator mode. I hope it surprised the heck out of him. He deserved it.

Love how he didnt move, you basically stunned him!

[BaronofBeanDip]

Saw a dragon using a gauss in one arm. Was in a HBK-4H, with a LBX-10 instead of the AC10. I decided that dragon should no longer have that gauss. When he saw me, he was in pretty decent shape, so he charged up to me. We were up close when I put the first LBX shot into his gauss arm, followed with 4 medium lasers. So now he starts running. It's on frozen city, so the terrain is pretty rough, so his higher speed doesn't help that much.

I catch up with him near Theta, and he turns to fight again. I put another LBX round into that arm, and the gauss goes red. Then a chain reaction of explosions happen, and he's missing half his mech. Not sure if he had any ammo in that torso, or if the gauss detonating managed to do all that, but my next volley put him down.

Never got to see a critical up close like that before.

[Asegai eB]

on my Catapult while I was still trying out weapons and how they work, getting overzealous with my PPC/Gauss Rifle combo and it results in overheating. The split second I shut down an Atlas comes around a corner and starts having the time of his life. Regain power, Alpha strike his head off, and go back to getting shut down... just couldn't stop feeling good about myself xP
