i was beating my friend as usual, even though i was playing a map hes good at and i'm not. anyways, i got up above him and he charged at me, i threw some nades and knocked out a lot of his health but all i had was a plasma pistol and i am not very good with it so i charged it up instead of rapid firing it. he climbed up and used his AR to gun me down, but as i died my gun released the plasma that i charged up and it killed him, winning the game for me! PWNT, needless to say he quit playing after that.

I was playing Longest with this guy, and befroe then I had not really mapped out in my head where the shotgun was (I generally do not play Longest) he got that, and got 'in the groover' with the oversheild and got up to about 13 to 0 or so. I was rather dismayed until I remembered how you kill the oversheid... With an Over-charged plasma Pistol. I came back to win a narrow 15-14 victory.

Wow let's see if I can remember oh yeah it was awesome 3 on1 me bein the lonewolf it was I think 47 to 49 for them and i needed 3 kills they needed 1(The best game I have ever played)I was in the blue base at blood and was waiting with sniper.The stupid asses actually tried to rush from all 3 ways like left center and right I stepped back crouched aimed shot the driver of the warty(he was jus gettin out) it stopped threw grenade landed on back blew up killed driver got launched hit my friend while he was jumpin up to shoot me or somethin I jumped down switched to shotty and came up behind my best friend for the kill.I hammered him in the very top of his head turned in mid air and shot him in face(he was already dead but it was sick).I won and since then my boyz cant even come close to beating me.

I have never lost so much (47) times dyin in a single game im usually under 10 now of course this was when we first got halo were all pros no matter what any1 says types wtf ever.

Oh yeah there was no radar and a team game of course death bonus slyer umm i cant remember.

Here's one of mine. My friend and I were playing 1v1. It was BG, Rockets, 200% health and shields and he was beeting me. I felt like I wasn't doing very well. Finally when the score was 10 -13 (this may sound like a fairly close game but he was easily killing me, and also shoving it in my face) I got tired of him shoving it in my face. From the score 10-13 on, he never got another kill. The score turned out to be 25-13. I never died once after his 13th kill.

I was playing capture the flag with a coouple of my friends. We had set the score limit to 10 to keep it quick. None of these friends were very good individually but put then together and they made a very difficult team to beat. We were pretty even for about 10 minutes when they figured out this panasy tactic of one of them with a rocket launcher and a sniper standing at a distance so they could snipe whoever respawned before they could get out of the way. The took a lead 8 to 1. I was able to take out the sniper and kill him every time he came back while my team mate was able to get the lead and then the win 10 to 9.

well, my favorite comebacks are between me and my friend matt. Matt is a better sniper than me so of course, we are always locked in sniper battles. One time I managed to get in the first shot but he put two in me so I had to retreat and wait for my sheilds to re gen. I only managed to get him down one health but I was brought down to three life. I waited almost five minutes and let his guard down, then vaulted out from behind the corner and pumped a full clip of sniper into him. then he kicked my ass in the rest of the game, but, he only beat me by one kill.

Here's one or two of mine:

* Playing 4 vs 1 Slayer on Hang 'Em High. I was the lone player, the other 4 were good players but not the best (me and one other friend are classed as the best in our gaming group). I gave them the choice of game variables and they picked 'Rockets Only', 200% Health, Shields on and Motion Trackers Off. It wasn't looking good for me as the score was 41-29 after abotu 15 minutes. I managed to pull in back to 43-39 with some slightly sneaky tactics (Camo whore and hiding in shadows). I only did this so it might actually give me a chance and stopped when I was only 4 kills behind (seemed like a reasonable handicap). I then pulled some great stunts that actually managed to get them to kill each other a few times. For example, I jumped off the side of one base just as an enemy threw a Plasma Grenade. It shot straight over my head and tagged his friend waiting for me below. A couple of double kills from unfortunate players standing close to each other and the score was now 41-43 to me. I then carried on to kill them in my usual fashion and met the 50 kills. I couldn't believe I actually won the game.

* Playing 3 vs 1 Oddball LAN game on Hang 'Em High. It was fair as I had my own screen (but small) and the 3 had a large TV to share. We were only playing the game to burn time as we waited for 4 more players to turn up at my house for a 4 vs 4. Same players as the above game but without one player. 1 Ball, Normal Weapons and a vow not to hide too much in the game. First to 5 minutes wins the game. I managed to get the ball after a huge scrap. I had the ball but still got a few kills from some great meleeing action. I stood round the corner from one of the corridors and someone was running my way. I passed him the ball and killed him with the Shotgun before he knew what was happening. Then after 2:54 (or so) I got killed and the ball went into enemy hands. I thought I was screwed but the team was stupid enough not to protect the guy holding the damn thing. I jumped from the top of one of the bases, meleed him to death and nicked the ball. By the way the score was then 4:10 to 2:54. I managed to keep the ball from then on to win the game.

Sure, but underneath all these great people I'm not sure it'll be appreciated. I mean, look at all of them! So pro! So talented! They are awesome at the game! Not to mention modest.

By the way, that was sarcasm.

What I'm trying to say, is that a lot of people here say they are extremely good, and like to brag, but actually suck. Ass. What's that saying? Something about - "Good players don't need to say they are good, others do it for them."

For example, Sparatan117, look at you signature.

"i can win a game of halo by just using melee attacks

i can kill a careless sparatan or elite with a sniper

i am sparatan 117 the best sniper there is period "

No. NO. You are NOT the best sniper, and wow, good for you, you can kill a careless "Sparatan". Whatever the hell that is. You obviously play against a bunch of 4 year olds. There is no way you can win a game with melee's, against seasoned players. You suck, yet you brag. Seriously.
