I managed to take a break from my busy schedule and played on the EU CTF Bungies servers the other day, and had two moments of pure team-joy-ness.
First, on sidewinder. I just was trying my patented 'single man ghost cap' vs a very good team (think they were on teamspeak or something) and go in and grab the flag, running over an RL guard. Then things start to go pear-shaped as a manned enemy rocket hog enters the base and shoots me, taking me to 2 health (thank god for that overshield). One more shot would kill me.
Then, a teammate hops down the ladder with a fuel rod, shoots the hog while taking a rocket (meant for me) in the face. The fuel rod blast manages to throw the hog up and back just enough for me to edge my battered ghost out the door, and managed to escape to score the third flag.
The second was on Timberland. I went in the red base on foot (invisible) and snuck past a flamer guy to grab the flag. I grabbed it, but immediately 5 guys spawned outside, and chased me with AR fire and grenades, so I ran further in the base. So, there's three reds going through the entrance, while I run for it, then A HOG DRIVES THROUGH THE BASE, AND I GET SUCKED INTO IT. It was sweet, the hog driver kills the three on his first pass, and I manage to get out of the base in one piece.
That time, I lost the flag (damn snipers) but it was one SWEET flag run.
