Subject: Your "Spartan Time" Moments.

In case you don't know what Spartan Time is (books ftw), it is basically bullet time. Or, for people who have never watched the matrix, when things seem like they're going in slow-mo...

Anywho, My Spartan Time Moments:

Turf: Rumble Pit ( back when it was ranked): Rumble Slayer:

I had a BR and a full compliment of frag grenades, so I see three guys fighting, their shields drop, and as I threw three grenades my perception suddenly slowed and I saw the grenades explode, I moved in and I saw one guy still there, shields down, so I plug him one with my BR. END RESULT: Triple Kill

Warlock: Team Slayer or Rumble pit I can't quite remember:

I was by where the flag or bomb normally spawned and saw some guys fighting near where the fan throws you to. I throw two grenades, and as the first one exploded I went into Spartan Time and saw the second explode aswell. END RESULT: One heck of a dropped jaw and a killtacular.

Lockout: Custom Game: Juggernaut variant:

I was the Juggernaut and had a rocket launcher, four players were in the main courtyard, as I jumped off the sniper spawn looked down at the four players and fired. END RESULT: Something so cool I can't describe and a killtacular.

What are some of your Spartan Time moments?

And -blam!- went into slow mo type perception?

When this guy was walking and I couldn't aim the sniper for -blam!- back then, so I eventually got the reticle on his head. Took like 10 seconds.

Bullet Time FTW

got a jumping noscope followed by 2 headshots (triplekill) with a sniper when my shields were down, And today on turf, took down a sniper, killed a guy with a shotgun with an smg, then assassinated a guy who had jumped down to kill me in a matter of maybe 5 seconds, but it felt a lot longer.

On Midship, I'd lined up perfectly for a long-range stick. I press LT, and as the plasma grenade leaves my hand, A TEAMMATE SPAWNS IN FRONT OF ME.
All I could think was: Please don't hit. Please don't hit. Please don't hit. And then it stuck my teammate. The longest ½ second of my life.

Great thread!
And I have to say, it was today, just a few minutes ago. It's not up on Bungie.net yet but soon. It was in insane game, my first Killamjaro EVER, although it was laggy so I didn't get to hear the awesome guy say it. :-(
I was also no-scoping like crazy with the sniper, something I've NEVER been able to do.

Wow. You guys actually had adrenaline dumps from playing a video game? Because that is what causes the altered time perception, an adrenaline dump. Next to testosterone, epinephrine and norepinephine are the best drugs ever, and the DEA can't do a d@mned thing about them.

I find this terribly amusing. If you go to pieces playing a game in a sterile environment, how do you think you will react to real live combat in the Middle East? And you are going to go. The invasion of Iran is going to necessitate a draft, and that means you guys.

lol Ok, Jim Jones. I don't want to get in trouble by going off on a long tirade about why this simply won't happen, but ok.

Anyway, I have never had an adrenaline rush playing this game... My coolest moment was in Waterworks though. There was a sniper up high picking off my teammates all round me. I ran up, grabbed the sniper rifle in the red base, aimed at him, and we had a Saving Private Ryan-esque moment.

For those not in the know, there is a scene in that movie where a sniper on the ground shoots a sniper in a high building and the bullet goes through the German sniper's scope, into his eye.

Things didn't go into slow motion for me (I have never gotten that worked up playing Halo 2), but it was awesome nonetheless.

Greatest of all time

49-49

I'm camping airlift at the OS side of ivory tower. My teamates say they are at shotty side, i throw an plasma grenade towards shotty side. **Enter Spartan Mode**. A guy comes out from behind a wall and his head is engulfed in blue. THE END.

Nobody gives a -blam!- how brave or awesome you are for being your soldier. If all soldiers are as big an -blam!- as you I hope they all get blown to hell by insurgents. The war in Iraq is a.....sorry, its against the rules to have a political conversation.

Leaves the forums, it will be a much happier place without you.

Halo 1.
1 v 1
Prisoner.

My friend is up at his favorite spot, the sniper spawn. I have a single frag grenade, my hope is to bounce it off the ceiling and land it at his feet, killing him. Instead, just as he peeks his head out to snipe me, time slows down. The frag flys from my hands. The planets and stars aline. Divine intervention occures. My frag grenade hits his visor, and on the split screen I gasp, wide-eyed and speechless, as the freg grenade bounces inbetween his helmet and visor, a shower of sparks flying from his face. A moment later it exploded, he was dead, and I had successfully stuck a man with a frag grenade.

The end.

Halo 2.
Zombies.
Zanzibar.

It was near the end of the game, only 2 people still humans. We were in the water, near the wall at the attacker spawn, fending off Zombies. He had the sniper, I had a BR. The weapons were set to no respawn, so we were very cautious about using ammo. Anyway, He soon ran out of Sniper ammo, and had only a sword left. He charge an oncoming zombie, and was pretty much instantly killed. Eventually, it was me vs 8 zombies. I had 90 rounds left in my BR, and the zombies were closing in fast.

I entered the zone.

2 were charging to my right, I quickly turned, and popped them in the head.
DOUBLE KILL!

Another was coming from that direction. Bam, he falls.
TRIPLE KILL!

There was 3 to the north wall. 3 bursts rang out.
KILLTACU- KILL FR- KILLTROCITY!

2 more appeared. 2 bursts.
KILLIMINJARO! KILLIMINJARO!

I had wiped out there entire team.

But they kept coming. Soon, i ran out of ammo. Pulled out my sword.
"MORTAL COMBAT!" I yelled, and charged a Zombie, but alas he struck me down. It was over.

And that, children is the story of my first 2 Killiminjaros, and an Overkill:
