My best memory was the night me and two of my friends invented Warthog Wars. Let me explain how it works. This is a game for 2 players. Start a multiplayer Slayer match on the Blood Gulch level. Each person gets in a warthog, no weapons of any kind are allowed to be used(but can be picked up). The point of the game is to ram the other warthog knock the driver out and run his ass over before he can get back in. In the case of a double knock out, it is a fist fight to the death(this is where picking up the bigger weapons can come in handy). This is alot harder than is sounds and, after playing this for several years for many hours on end, has yet to get old. Many crazy wrecks and events have ensued playing this game. We also modified the game to involve a 3rd person. This version, we called Run Rabbit Run. Start the game with the same options as Warthog Wars, but in this game instead of trying the kill each other, the two warthog drivers are trying to kill the guy who is on foot(the rabbit) trying to make it from one base to the other in one piece. The rabbit is allowed to use only the 8 grenades(4 plasma, 4 frag) he started with. We keep our own scoring: If the rabbit makes it, he earns 3 pts and the chance to run again. If he is run down, the driver of the warthog that kills him gets 1pt and then becomes the rabbit. We play first one to 15pts wins. This game could also be played with 2 rabbits.
I've always been curious if any one else out there has invented games like this .
But if i had to pin down one single event, it had to be what we now call "The Ultimate -blam!- Move" because if you pull off this once in a lifetime move, you just undeniably made the other person your -blam!-. My friend and I were playing Warthog wars. I knocked him out and while trying to run him over, I hit and ramped his warthog. Mine started to do a back flip and kicked me out straight up in the air. My upside down warthog then lands on and squishes my fleeing friend, and I landed and stood quite triumphantly on the under carriage my warthog with his dead corpse underneath. Despite the freak accidental nature of this event, it all happend quite smoothly and looked intentional. This happened over a year ago and we have yet to reproduce anything close to it.
