Your Finest Moments

[Evilkyle24]

I'll start.

I'm playing commander late night. Only about ten marines left, we got totally chewed up. So we prepare for last stand. The aliens boarded the Sulaco, and a bloody battle ensued. I proceeded to put myself in the line of fire several times to open the shuttle doors, so that the machine gun could continue suppression.

We had no explosives left, no flamers, just guns.

The aliens breach the defense and get into surgery, and I get facehuggered. John Doe tears the chestbuster out of me, and I grab a riot helmet and get back to fighting. At this point, there's maybe five marines left. We chase them out of surgery, and here's where shit gets real.

I pick up a riot shield.
I pick up two knives.

The guns are out of ammo, so I see a warrior and just charge him with the knife. He and I do a merry little dance for about five minutes, sometimes he's on top and beating my face in, sometimes I'm gutting him like a prize tuna. Eventually, he runs like a bitch and I go to the armory to get more knives. A praetorian shows up, and I stab and shoot it with a gun I picked up, the only gun out of like fifty that had any ammo, and get into the armory.

Its getting down to the wire. I grab another knife, and an LMG, and hear a LOOC Voice telling me "Hide in the closet, they'll never find you.

Fuck. That.

I turn on my headset and recite:

For two hundred years, and one hundred more,
God has smiled upon the corps
From the deserts west, to the eastern sand,
By sword by gun or by bare hand

I then run into the breifing room and fight off the praetorian, and once again begin to recite

So its been and shall be weighed
Though many are born, Few are made
Forever always, they shall remain
Dogs to loose when war is waged!


Then I charged on out there like a man, promptly lost the gun, and engaged in a frantic melee with a Praetorian, a Warrior, and a Sentinal. I get them to run, but I'm in critical condition. I stagger into the bathroom, planning on saying something like "I need a vacation", but the terrible trio come back and, after a last stand, I'm taken down.

This is better than the time aliens captured me, I had two frags and C4, I planted the C4 on my and primed both grenades and rushed the queen, she died.

Did you yell Aloha Snackbar or some other defiant one liner?

[TheCubscout]

When Cub Johnson:

-Mopped up that dried cluster of blood

-Threw away the broken alcohol bottles

-Forced the crew to pick up the cigarette that they just let fall out of their mouth

-Found interesting items in the disposals area (Taser, C4, People, Etc.)

-Laughed as marines slip foolishly on the floor, promptly pointing to the sign as they lay there

-Fought the alien menace using cleaner grenade to swipe them off their feet

-Obtained additional access 70% percent of shifts without even asking

-(Potentially) Saved someones lung by throwing away their newly purchased cigarette packet

-Was arrested for throwing away empty alcohol bottles, instead of breaking them over the crews head as demanded

-Asked for additional space cleaner from a delusional chemist, received acidic spray instead, formally returned the favor by spraying said chemist for not following orders

Survived Three alien face huggers, Two frag grenades, and being shot... Until I was chest popped. Still .I am a forever coming storm of marine power.

Last Stand in Commander's Office, stabbed a queen to death with my combat knife after getting my face raped, good times

[LordeKilly]

I've got a good one, this is an oldie too, back when Xur ruled the server pretty much.

Alright, where to start...

Ah, yes

A terrible round had just began, fights broke out in the LO line, MPs were chainsmoking idiots who just sat in the canteen, LOs were slow. It did not look good for marines.

Then, he turns to corner, a beautiful black man with a crazy haircut, destined to lead the corps to victory. Behind him followed a medical genius with his sexy black hair, an engineering pioneer and an aryan standard who could bring down a warrior by looking at him in the eyes.

"THEY'RE HERE!"

Shit picked up, the lines were finished, Bravo full of fresh marines to crush the onslaught of alium scum.

"LET'S GO LIBERATE SOME STATION, BOYS!" yelled a far eastern man, dark skinned and giant.

The shuttles stocked up and launched, we had arrived. Bravo squad bumrushing to engineering and setting it up.

Myself, being well off with a rifle, was sent with two others to raid medical for supplies, I was ok with this, the two with me didn't seem too incompetant, so we went off. Reaching the medbay, it was untouched by alien filfth, so we just got in and got out. The problem was, there were resin walls blocking the exits when we turned around to leave, and the hissing of aliens soon surrounded us. Drones and their flat deformed heads, along with hunters and their spiked crowns. It didn't look good, but with the power of morale and focused fire, we were able to take out majority before losing one to a runner, and the other bleeding from a serious of slashings. It didn't look good, Bravo was marching down to save us on the radio, but we stood no chance.

"CLICK, CLICK"

I knew I was fucked, and a warrior saw I was too. Whipping out my knife, we engaged in single combat. My leg was bleeding bad, and two other drones were trying to get my final marine. I had none of it, I finished off the warrior, his cry echoing the medbay. Drones switched to me, but i had two .44 magnums with their names on it. They met their fate. I grabbed my marine, walked to the door, I heard the gunfire of my comrades. Relieved, I set him down, began to administer first aid before passing out and entering crit.

My squad came to my rescue, finding a dead body and bandaged marine.

The sacrifice of Genghis Khan would not go without revenge, and indeed revenge was given. Bravo rushed to Virology, our engineers making quick use of their welding tools on the walls.

It's safe to say that the infestation was finished off, at the loss of many unnamed marines and hardened veterans.

Oh, you wonder the names of these heroic marines who lead the marines, and bravo squad to victory?

Banter: Xur Dergens, Mark Hanford, Dolores Waits and Jim Sanders.

[YummyToast]

Once, I believe I was playing on my character Elizabeth Reed, we were arguing with Centcomm or whatever about getting the Nuke code because the mission was going to hell. After they agreed to finally give it only to the guy rping as a relative of part of command, they told us we could only activate it if we brought him and he typed it. So we made a small group of those remaining and got to Nostromo where naturally...

everything went to hell.

We all got dragged off to different areas when aliens attacked but luckily I managed to escape the grasp of one of them, asked the guy with the nuke code where he was and began my search for him. Lucky for me he was near security where we had the nuke (We had previously secured it.) so then I found the guy but he was infected, can't remember if he was dead or not. Either way I ended up with the code and realized at this point that the Sulaco was being taken over. I knew that the aliens could use the Sulaco to spread the infection so I planned to send the nuke on a shuttle to them. Loaded the nuke on the shuttle but while I was setting it up I got attacked by a bunch of them and had to weld myself inside the shuttle.

At this point I realized that there was no way I could safely manage to activate the nuke then get outside the shuttle to send it back to Sulaco so I decided I was going to have to go with it. I set the timer for a rather small time and watched as the door to the shuttle began to crumble from acid. Ran myself to the pilot seat and sent the shuttle. Upon arrival I gave an epic one liner.

"Take this you ugly bitch!" as I unwelded and sprinted from my shuttle to the second one, aliens running on both sides of me to stop me. I managed to get inside and weld myself it so they couldn't get on and launched. Then I watched as the Sulaco exploded into a million bits. Unfortunately for me, afterwards in OOC chat people were discussing how two aliens remained on the Nostromo... I can only imagine what epic adventures took place after that round ended.

[Derpislav]

The last two rounds where I've been the medic (Lockie Hughes). I have very little actual experience with medical stuff (mostly played a chemist, several shifts as a surgeon) but I think I saved all the wounded I could reach with my horrible lag, some of them deep in crit.

One of them even said something along the lines of "You've saved my ass at least five times by now!".

[Densane]

So far, the best thing that happened to me is had my arm ripped off and lived to talk about it.

[RehabBaron]

Am alien warrior, am roleplaying roars, hisses, and other emotes with two of the first marines that come to LV-624, a parrott aproaches me from the computer it was sitting on, takes the facehugger out of my hand, drops it on the computer, and it leaps at one of the marines and they all run off.

[Densane]

I was listening too Brutal Doom soundtrack, because someone posted it in LOOC and I thought "Hey, why not"
This starts playing
https://youtu.be/wa-0hOsYTcg?t=13m22s

And then this happened when we're defending the abandoned FoB with all the flip tables from an attack.

Unknown fires the M37 Pump Shotgun point blank range at Jada 'Kilo' Brown!
Jada 'Kilo Brown is hit by the bullet in the Left Arm!
Your left arm goes flying off!
Your left hand goes flying off!
You are now carrying the M41A Rifle with one hand.
Jada 'Kilo' Brown yells, "YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!"
(put the rifle on my back, pull out a shotgun)
You fire the M37 Pump Shotgun!
The Runner (337) is hit by the bullet in the chest!

Only reason why I didn't die there was because the limb was prosthetic and I already had pain killers in me.

I then proceeds to fight the whole FoB assault one handed with just a shotgun, when I ran out of ammo, field stripped my gyro assisted shotgun and equiped it to my rifle, and fought the rest of the wave one handed with that. I had to reload it several times through the whole fight, all with one hand.

This fucking game really hates my left arm for some reason.

[CaptainBritton02]

Back when the Nostromo was a thing (like a few weeks ago), at like 2 AM, we had an actual competent commander and LOs upon a point, along with competent SLs. I was Charlie SL. I was assigned 4 incompetent ass marines. The second we get on the Nostromo a standard decides it's a good idea to follow alpha in a charge to xenobio (metamarines gooo) after i told them to hold. They got themselves captured and hugged, like most of alpha and bravo. Their dying screams over the radio brought me happiness. Then I was sitting there with the remnants of alpha and bravo, who were actually smart and stayed back with the FOB. We were ordered a full retreat, and pulled a fucking vietnam, and got the hell out, successfully I might add. Command assigned the smarter remnants of alpha and bravo to me, while new people were assigned to delta, led by a ex-bravo standard, Mike Hernandez, I think it was. We got organized, we went back, secured a FOB in arrivals, just forgetting about the old engineering one. Aliens threw everything at us, but our peace through superior firepower and mounted .50s prevailed. After every alien except a runner was killed, the commander and his LOs initiated a charge, and we hunted down and killed it. Marines Major Victory.

[Surrealistik]

Singlehandedly snatching victory from the jaws of defeat by holocausting the T3 laden alien swarm aboard the Sulaco with a bunch of remote det potassium bombs and the push of a button.

Got me temp banned (under rule 9; breaching the Sulaco/atmos fuckery), but was totally worth; the complaints/praise went on for pages. I have never seen such a reaction to anything before or since in CM.

[Derpislav]

This fucking game really hates my left arm for some reason.

I don't think I've ever ever went through a whole round without right hand fracture. The fact I've kept patching up marines every time while showing as critical on my medhud, one-handed, definitely counts as my finest moment.

[CaptainBritton02]

The last two rounds where I've been the medic (Lockie Hughes). I have very little actual experience with medical stuff (mostly played a chemist, several shifts as a surgeon) but I think I saved all the wounded I could reach with my horrible lag, some of them deep in crit.

I was in one of the rounds. I was Nathan Britton, a combat medic. I actually saved your ass more than once aswell.

[Derpislav]

Last round, the one with marine zerg rush. Kept an insane amount of critical marines alive in the caves, while also keeping less wounded ones in the fight. There were so many criticals I was literally drowning in bodies.

[Redfield5]

I killed a Xeno once.

[zwind]

This just recently happened, I made this forums account just for this.

So Alpha Squad is to go with a researcher by the name of Albert. We head up to the Northern Caves to the Abandoned FOB, we see a few aliens and get attacked by a couple. The orders become switched, Alpha is to head back to the Domes while Bravo and Charlie go explore the caves. We head back, mess around with the alcohol and have fun. We get the orders to move back to the Abandoned FOB, so we go and see a lot of aliens. I end up shooting at them too much to realize that an orbital strike had been set down near the abandoned FOB.

*boom* Alpha squad just gets destroyed by the strike.

It wasn't until after another squad mate and myself had been knocked out and can't hear before I scroll up the chat and realize we had plenty of warning for the strike. So my squadmate Jimmy Tombstone and myself (Jon Jimson) get dragged back to the Domes by the rest of the squad. I get bandaged up after spending a good time deaf because of the blast, and everyone in my squad is communicating. I get dragged onto the transport ship and am kinda getting back on my feet and my buddy Tombstone is dragged in. I jump up in joy to see he is alive and responding, only to bump the ship door open and a smaller alien grabs him and kills him. So me and half the squad head back up to the Sulaco to get healed and the whole time I am depressed that Tombstone is taken out.

Tombstone ends up being cloned and I am just so happy to see him alive. The rest of us get healed and head over to get new supplies and head out again. We start meeting at the canteen before going down when we get the "all aliens killed" message.

I just started playing this a few days ago and I have to say this is the closet I have felt to my squadron the entire time.

[Siserith Vassada]

couple weeks ago,i was a specialist, the marines were pretty messed up and scattered around the map. getting taken out one by one. so i did a little rally call. took two people from the fob with me. and proceeded to run around the map telling every scattered marine to follow me (at this point half my squad was captured and screaming where the hive was) i managed to gather about 23 marines following me and we all rushed to the hive. at the entrance about five of them fucked off for some reason and were later heard over the radio shouting that they walked off and got captured by an alien. so were pushing our way into the hive cutting our way in with the knives. were pushing our way in but a bunch of marines get hugged i did to. but we got most of them removed. i told them to make it a priority to remove them if someone gets one stuck on. and we continue pushing. we come into a room and i hear a bunch of resin doors opening and closing. so we start gunning at the wall. and six runners two ravs a hivelord and the queen go running out. she shrieks and i fire a rocket at the same time. all of us both marine and alien being stunned at the same time. a bunch more aliens showed up. spitters carriers and runners and hugged people and took off with them. a hectic fight proceeded where the queen and the rav were killed with two runners and a spitter. but most of the marines had been either captured hugged or killed. there were three marines still outside the hive. doing nothing just shooting at the aliens. instead of freeing me and two others. i eventually get free. pick up a nearby fireaxe and killed a ravager in hand to hand combat. with not even a single injury because rnjesus caused my Armour to absorb the blows. i freed five other marines and we proceeded deeper in the hive . we were nested by not hugged for some reason. but the aliens had already removed the ones that were. we looted the bodies for medical supplies. explosives and ammo. we continued farther with little resistance besides an annoying runner. we came across a ruin with an alien mask so i took it and put it on(i had lost my mask and helmet at the time) and continued farther. we came across TWO ravagers a pretorian a carrier a spitter and two runners AND A SECOND queen! the carrier threw a bunch of huggers at us taking out two marines. and killing four on my neat new alien mask me and the remaining marines killed the spitters and two runners. but the other ones got killed. a hivelord than ran out and attacked me. i then robusted it with my fireaxe taking very little injures besides a badly damaged but not broken arm. the ravagers and praetorian kill the other three marines with me. and i manage to kill a ravager with my smg and a fireaxe while escaping as the sole survivor but the ravager had broken my arm. i fall back to the fob. and there is no one there. then a runner comes out of nowhere and pounces me. i manage to get up and yank out my rocket launcher blasting it point blank and instantly killing it. aswell as breaking right leg. i manage to limp back to the shuttle and beg it to be sent. it gets sent down and as i enter it a hunter and warrior attack. i manage to hold them off until the shuttle got launched but the hunter got in the shuttle. i quickly pulled out my knife and began fighting it in hand to hand combat. and somehow managing to push it out the window of the shuttle. the shuttle arrived and as i was limping out i passed out. a marine happened by. took my axe and dragged me to the med bay. and left my axe there for me. i got fixed up by the docs and later resupplied and went back to the ground(i forgot at this time to grab a new knife)and walked into the fob. which now had three ssd squad medics. an ssd squad engineer and two marines. i got the two marines to follow me and we went around and gathered five more marines who were scattered around the map. we went back to the hive and fought our way back in. a ravager intercepted us but we managed to trap it. i ran in and killed it with my fireaxe but took pretty bad injuries. after healing up a while and the other marines that got hurt by the ravager got fixed up. we proceeded farther into the next chamber of the hive. which had two drones. a spitter a hunter two runners and the queen in it (maybe more)and a literal sea of eggs. i told everyone to wait until i did what i was going to do and i aloha akbard into the hive with my bazooka and eight grenades activating dozens of eggs but somehow not getting hugged.. i fired my bazooka stunning them and tossed around a bunch of grenades. killing most of the aliens. but i injured myself on one of my grenades. and was put in a stasis bag. eventually as i lay dying in the stasis bag the marines with me finished off the aliens and we won. (i dont know much about that alien mask. but it seemed to make me more robust and prevented more than fifteen huggers from latching onto me as i ran headfirst into a sea of eggs)
