This is where you can post about the Impossible Shot you've pulled off. Shots that you're sure aren't going to connect or have any effect, and yet you shoot anyway and it pays off big time.

Mine happened just yesterday on our clan server. It was CTF Gephy and I was chasing down the flag carrier's ghost in a banshee. He was quite a ways ahead of my Banshee just going out of sight under the center spire. I knew I wouldn't be able to catch up to him before he ducked into the side entrances under the enemy base. So I just thought "What the Hell" and shot the FRG through one of the gaps in the spire. Well, I got lucky, smoked him with it and sent him on a one way trip to oblivion, returned the flag and my team mate won the game.

Just thinking about that brings warm feelings. :)

Lol... A lot of the time if i see a hog coming or somebody with a tank or something, i'll see them, jump up from behind a hill, fire a rocket, duck behind the hill again and BOOM they're sent flying, even if they're far away like near their base i only need a second to calculate my shot lol.

Lol one kinda lucky shot i had once, well it was more luck than wateva... I sneakily approached a hill.. Popped my head over and BAM there was a tank in my face!! Luckily i ducked down just in time to avoid the tank shell, so as soon as he fired that, i stood up, lobbed a plasma grenade at the retreating tank, and the nade stuck to his forehead hahah BOOM! He gets blown up, i get their tank, take it back to base "tank anyone?" lol

I have 2. One I had a video of but I got rid of it. I was on top of my base sniping the enemy base. one of the enemy jumps off the base right in front of that little hill in front of the base I take a shot and right as his head disappears behind the hill my bullet gets him in the head. It was amazing the bullet had to of just missed the tip of the hill by and inch.

Another one was CTF and 2 guys in an enemy hog got our flag. While the hog was moving I shot to gunner in the head and he dropped the flag, then the driver came back and got the flag and drove off again then I shot again and got a head shot on the driver.

I've done my favorite "impossible shot" a couple times. On Gephyro I grab the rocket launcher and climb up the wire so I'm up high over my base entrance. When I hear the enemy get the flag and start to get away ina ghost on the lower level, I fire two rockets on either side of the base of the center pillar. Three times I've killed the fleeing flag carrier.

Here's two of my 'impossible shots', one giving out, one receiving.

The first was on Danger Canyon, Assault. I was defending on the sniper's ridge. Along comes a convoy of 2 hogs and a ghost, totally loaded to the brim with passengers and gunners. I shrug, and try to pick off the gunners for the hogs, and take my first shot.

Bang. A red flag flies through the air. I managed to hit the driver of the MG hog right through the head with the first bullet, and he had the flag. He, and I went WTF?

I believe a couple of people accused me of cheating and quit after that.


The second impossible shot was on Timberland. I was on the top of my base, and fighting an equally skilled opponent. I managed to clip him, when all of a sudden things got horribly laggy, so I dodged back behind the door-column at the top and waited for my shields to recharge. 5 seconds later, I fall over, dead- he had managed to shoot me through the lag, after I had went round the corner, and catch my head - it was literally an impossible shot.

That was a weird game.

TUI, well i suppose people wouldn't know, its not on the front page, you have to look in the stickies for it, well sticky guide anyways.

Well one time on a maw gathering, on ice fields i believe, i was walking out of a narrow passage, came out saw fastmatt, i shot a sniper round and got him, I beleive I got him in the nuts, lol. It looked like he was holding his nuts in pain lol when the death animation took place. It was pretty funny, lol one hit kill in the most odd places, well I suppose if you got shot there, then it would be a instant kill, lol.

Probably lag, I notice it too, I'll shoot someone point blank with a shot gun and they don't die, then they shoot me from like 12 meters away and I die instantly.

Thank Gearbox for a wonderful porting job.

BTW: Is Gearbox even still around? Or did the go the way of so many other Software companies like Troika and Taldren?

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Had a flagger in a shee on Gephy, hovering under the map, refusing to score. I jumped off with a rocket launcher hoping to fire under but noticed he was on our side, and I was on the enemy side. I turned and fired anyway. The rocket tore across the length of the map and took him down. I was pleased.

i have 2. Well, one is a stick, but i guess that counts.

In Danger Canyon i was covering the place from the cliff, and saw that the red team had the flag. So i was alert when I saw a ghost coming buy and went onto the ramp. I knew i couldnt hit him, but i just said "what the hell" and squeezed of a shot while he was in the air. Next thing i know, he's dead and the flag is falling. I was like WTF?? And so was he. I was then accused of having an aimbot and all that crap.

The second is on Blood Gulch. I was running up to the blue base and saw a guy appear on top of the base and he started shooting at me. He was running between the spire with the sniper rifle behind it and the teleporter, shooting me as he went between them. I threw a plasma nade for no reason, and he went out from behind a spire and the grenade stuck to his face. Lol that was the most awesome stick i have ever done. This is all true content i didnt make any of this up.

Mine would have to be the time I killed someone by shooting them in the foot. See I try to go stealthy on occassion...it usually ends up with me holding a rocket launcher up to the back of someones heads...anyways I was attempting to do that, and popped one into his foot. He was clueless, called me an aimbotter and left.

Saw a ghost in BG in a rocket game going at full speed at our base. I lead my rocket shot in front of it (yes, I lead with a rocket at a vehicle going left 50 feet in front of me) and it hit the ghost exactly at the driver's body. Everyone was like......WTF?!!
