great story.

i was playing sidewinder ctf today. blue was spawn-camping inside our base with two guys, one on a ghost. he finally grabs the flag and takes off. i respawn and kill the other guy, then jump in another ghost to go get our flag back.

i thought there was no way i'd get there in time. however, as i approached their base, i see that he flipped his ghost over a hog near their base. i knew i'd have to play this just right to save the day.

i could have started shooting him, but instead i went to the other side and entered right after he does. after the roof clears the screen i see that he's about to score. i floor it and ram him about a half-second before he scores. i get out, return our flag, get theirs and fly back to our base.

needless to say, he was pissed.

after i ran him over he immediately typed "host you need to ban bigpimpin! he's hacking!"

it was classic.

please share some of your best flag saves.

Respawn after enemy killed me protecting flag around my base, carrier is walking it thru the port in Blood Gulch and his teammates are coving well. Hop in a hog and floor it straight for the enemy base get over the hill and see that I can probably clip him before he gets to the side base entrance. Start taking covering fire including a rocket that explodes under the hog. Me and hog go airbourne, hog lands on the flag carrier and flattens him. I land on the flag and return it with one bar of health. I get hosed down by the rest of the enemy reading a chorus of OMFG! and Are you kidding me?

we r?

The following story takes place on Blood Gulch

So my ally gets shot down by a rocket, the enemy has no more rockets, I swing by in a warthog, gunner gives covering fire, I pick up flag by a simple "exit and re-enter move" done by hitting "E" to escape then tapping it very quickly after picking up flag to drive the hog. I saved the day also by driving over portal, killing red team who had our flag, gunner returns it, and he gets sniped, while I score flag.

Also, I am playing wizard. We are down 2-0, and I changed teams to the losing team to make it fair. I grab flag, whack enemy, return flag, score, repeat again, and every time I lose it, I melee the enemy in the back to return it, so they can't score. They came very close to scoring, they were behind me with flag, I hopped over and behind him to kill him in a flag battle, returns flag, survives pistols and shotties, loses flag, ally picks up and scores, 3-2 win for us!

This isnt really a save but it was freaking funny. One of my teamates got the flag but he got shot sumhow the game glitched out and the flag actually flew directly to our base unfortunately we werent able to get to it in time but the flag landed only 2 meters away from our base!

Here's an easy-to-read story:

Did a 2 vs. 2 scrim on Blood Gulch.

Flagbearer got flag and ran both of us over with a hog. When he gets halfway across the map I respawn. I get the sniper rifle and stay on top of my base. He enters through the front door of his base to cap and I headshot him from my base. His teammate tries to get the flag and I headshot him from across the map too. Flag gets reset. W00t chants follow...

Fastmatt, just watched the vid 'teh explosion' in your sig.

LMFGDAO!

Back to topic..

Was on generaphobia, and the guy had just came in with rockets, and grabbed the flag. He went through the tele, and got in a shee.

I pistoled, but as everyone knows 1 mag aint enough, and then you got that reload time.

Anyways, he did as predicted, and went under the ledge. Me, figuring hes low on shield, falls off (after reloading) and shoots him in the back, he dies, I die, flag falls to bottom and returns.

Sadly, thus started the 'WTF??!?! OMG cheater!!'.

'Hes hacking! Through the floor, OMFG'

*sighs*

ok this isnt realy a awesome save but it was freakin funny (like the previos post). In blood gulch i was on blue, and the red team was doing GREAT as far as teamwork goes. so they send one fully loaded hog (from now on FLH) and one with just a gunner (now GH). so the GH mows my team down while the passenger in the FLG takes our flag. I manage to nade the GH and me and my team mow down the survivors. I can see that the FLG has gotten away though, but im not willing to give up. So i grab a sniper and go through the teleporter. I see that the flag carrier has jumped up on the teleporter and i humping it.(guess he was saying that we got owned). So POW headshot. although i couldnt keep all of the reds from getting the flag again, i do take down another 3 or 4. Lol after that we all had a good, long, laugh.
