I'm sorry I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am. Please let me flex my ego on the internet some.
Fixed for clarity.
My best fight ever happened rather recently. About three weeks ago I was dropping with three other guys in my 2xGauss / 1xERPPC 'phract and we ended up on the low side of River City. Two of the 4 not in my group immediately made a beeline for the G rush and I told my guys to follow them thinking the mob mentality would pull the rest along. Lo and behold, I was wrong, the other two not in my group started pushing for upper city. By this point I was scouting up the river from the wharf area in G4 and saw two or three of the enemy moving toward the upper city across from their base. Thinking I could even that equation out for the two on my team heading that way I followed them towards upper city.
Just as I got to the broken bridge my two friendlies piled into upper city and were instantly engaged by a ferocious amount of fire and they turned and tried to run pulling a K2 PPC/LL sniper and a hunchback into the open. I put a gauss and ppc round into the head of the cat and another gauss into its CT then saw more movement behind the buildings so I threw my mech left and put a full alpha into the cat's CT wiping away all of the remaining armor and causing him to find some cover. One of my teammates went down at this point but the enemy hunchback was in the open still so I put an alpha into his right torso stripping all his armor there then the other enemy mech that was hiding behind the buildings until now stepped into the open, only problem was it was three mechs. A fatlas, cataphract, and commando all started advancing towards my remaining friendly while I started reporting over TS to my teammates that I was going to die and that the majority of the enemy force was in upper city. I alphaed the cataphract but screwed it up so hit each torso section with one weapon then ducked into the buildings, slammed my throttle in reverse, and popped back out to alpha the atlas in his left torso.
Meanwhile my other teammates had run into two enemy scouts but the scouts had just brushed past them and were headed for our base. One of the guys in my group ran for their base and started capping, the other four (two in my team, two randoms) booked it for our base to stop the cap while I'm busy telling them I can't hold the guys in upper city back.
I backed to just out from the base of the short cliff so the enemy would have to come right up to the ledge to even see me when the K2 decided to pop his head over. I promptly alphaed the K2 in his CT and he fell over but the hunchback and commando were close on his heels. Pivoting my legs right while twisting left I started moving back to the buildings again as the commando ran a lap around me lasers blazing into my armor. The hunchback had an AC20 that wasn't dead yet so he was my priority target, but I missed my shot completely and he put an AC20 round with some lasers into my left torso bringing it down to red armor. My second shot on the hunchback was perfection, not only did his torso fall off but he must have had ammo fitted there as he fell over dead on the spot. At this point I was backed into the open area between the skyscraper and two buildings just inside the map bounds with the commando still running around me. I maneuvered so he wouldn't be able to run a full circle and waited for him to have to run away or stop then put him down cold with an alpha in his back and a warning that I was at 25% gauss ammo.
Back at my base they had put down one enemy but were still tangoing with a spider that was just stalling them all. No one was moving to assist me and I realized I was just going to have to do the best I could to soften them up before I bit it then pray my team would ignore the spider long enough to not die.
Sliding my throttle up to halfway I cautiously stuck my mostly healthy right torso out from behind the buildings and was promptly struck by double gauss rounds to my right arm from the cataphract. I snapped off an alpha into his right torso and danced back behind the building to wait for my weapon recycle. Betting the cataphract had an XL I decided I could sacrifice my right arm and the gauss rifle in it to take him down so I moved into the open for another shot. The enemy cataphract shot me again but this time his aim was all on my right torso, stripping most of its armor and leaving it dark orange. My aim was the same point I had hit last time though and my gamble paid off as he became a smoking pile of scrap.
It was down to me and the atlas at this point, my friendlies were dancing with a spider while ignoring me, the one teammate was halfway done capping their base, and I was red/orange armor everywhere but my CT and legs. The atlas pilot must have been unsure at this point, he had a D-DC with ecm, 2xMLas, gauss, AC2, and 3xSRM6's but he walked into the open at the top of the ridge and fired only his SRM's at 220 meters. I alphaed his left torso again knowing the shotgun SRM's would be the most dangerous to me what with an XL engine fitted and my torsos orange or worse, his missiles ripped into my remaining armor stripping me to internals on both left and right torsos. The atlas' left torso was red internals though so I danced in the open while I rode my ERPPC trigger knowing it would recycle first and betting the atlas' pilot would miss his shots. I was sweating to hold my reticle steady on his left torso while dancing and was surprised when it went off, stripping his left torso and arm. I glanced at my ammo, four rounds of gauss left, and steadied my nerves. Throwing caution to the wind I moved to bring the fight to him as he stepped down the cliff. I alphaed his right torso and twisted to present my left arm and back armor as it was the healthiest. He blew my left arm to red internals and my left torso rear armor to orange. I pivoted back, ERPPCed his torso, then cut right by him and presented my rear CT and RT with critical heat alarms blaring. His shots flew wide as I was running past with him going the opposite direction. My gauss recycled and I turned to face him drawing a bead where I thought he would put his right torso when he faced me. My guess was perfect, he turned and placed his right torso directly under my reticle, I squeezed my trigger hammering out my last gauss rounds and a final ERPPC shot to put me into overheat shutdown. Through the red haze I saw the sparks and destruction my final shots had wrought, the enemy atlas was torso-less and weaponless, a dead enemy hulk waiting to be put down.
The friendlies were still entertaining the spider, my teammate was tens of seconds from the cap win, and I had an enemy atlas dead to rights after a hard fought battle. I would not be denied my kill. I slapped my override and told my teammate to get off the cap. The enemy atlas player disconnected at this point but I rhythmically cored him out using my single ERPPC then sighed and started heading to my base to help with the spider. At this point my teammate laughed at me and stepped back on the enemy cap to win the match.
That's my best match to date. Lots of other matches out there for me, lots with higher damage numbers or more kills per match but this is the special one. It's the only one I remember well enough to tell about it. :3

. Whole situation was too much for our dragon pilot who said F* this and DCed so we were down to 5vs8. Luckily enemy K2 DCed minute later so we ended 5vs7.
