Best moments thread.

Post by TheMusician321 » 26 Jan 2017, 12:22

since we didn't have one, i figured I should make it, post your best RP/marine-like/xeno-like moments here, stuff like going full on spec ops, stealthily infiltrating a place, a show of good team work by xenos, or ingenious marine work.

When you just a little Young Hunter and big daddy Ancient Hunter teams up with you on your hunting missions till you reach Elite and he suddenly dies... and then you go Ancient and go on to kill twenty other marines while nearly solo pushing the marines back to LZ1.

That round ended in admin bombardment on xenos even though most of the marines were hiding on Sulaco and we still had a Queen just because of how many come backs xenos made that round to the point that it lasted for about 4-5 hours.

Being SL, losing a foot to a hunter, being stabilized and put into a wheelchair, continuing to fight underground on Ice, killing a Drone and critting a Hivelord, proceeded to take a few men with me while still in my chair to go rescue remnants of Wookie's assault.

Got hit by a Crusher charge, facehugged, had both my hands cut off, still managed to stay out of paincrit for long enough to move away on my own, got hit by a full burst of a HPR and died.

Got wheeled back to a medic, and despite being handless, footless, and most likely lacking a working bone structure and/or internal organs, I was successfuly defibbed and evacced from the planet, afterwards I was transformed into Robocop and went back down onto the planet just in time to kill a larva that popped out of a marine, cover an engi as he fixed T-Comms and head underground to help Wookie finish the fight.

Marine Major baby.

Also Duke 'Shield' basically drove me everywhere while I was in the chair and pulled me out of the fight after I died, basically being my guardian angel. Never forget.

I had many moments of greatness, however small they may be...

Such as the time when, as an SL during a last stand at Nexus, I held off two crushers from breaking the last 2 sentries we had with a bootknife and nothing more. An event so impressive that Xur himself was amused by this.

Or the time when I managed to fight a ravager in melee combat.. and won.

And then there was the time when as a CO, after losing the ground war with the xenos and having been betrayed and mutinied by my remaining marines, I managed to regain their love and adoration by using a GL to kill their queen while she taunted us from the cockpit of the dropship, and then proceeded to bravely blow up several other xenos as the marines cried out "the CO is a hero!". We won the defense, by the way.

There are so many moments I am proud of, or that I find cinematic and memorable.. But I can only recall so much in detail.
Sometimes, bravery comes from the most unlikely sources.

I Once had to held bridge alone with 2 other marines while the entire hive was coming for us, literally. I remember when I saw at least some hunters, one crusher, a boiler, runners and the queen coming by the north shore. When the queen came, I went to the south shore, shooting It with burst-fire. Sadly, one of the marines that was with me got dragged Though a boiler cloud. I tried to save him, still, they dragged that marine to the hive. The sentry critted one hunter, I finalized the job. Then the crusher came In and the me and the other marine held Him while some runners were getting hit by the sentry. After, the queen came back with the Boiler. Before her screech, we managed to crit the Boiler and the sentry explosion also critted more 2 tier ones or tier twos. They started to drag Us, but I escaped the grip and ran like a coward to hydro while from no where, a ravager started to chase me. When I got there, more marines had arrived to join our "lost" battle. Sadly, some CPL blocked the window's entrance, making me get r*** by the ravager. I don't know how, but I got out alive only to be injured for the rest of the round, until a got decaped later on.

I once, fought off 2 crushers and one ravagers as SL In pain crit. Got charged, didn't died, got stomped, didn't died. I was infected and trying to increase marine morale that round. It was my second match with the role, so I started to think my armor was op as hell. When the queen came, ALL marines started to go south like a cinematic scene. We were all together, some were grabbing the injured and dead ones back, while others were fighting the xenos like beasts. We were basically forming a enormous line across the river, shooting everything At our back, without FF or anything like that. In that "movie-scene", I burst out while crossing the river with everyone watching SSGT Heering dying by the lizard scum. It was so epic when I started to dodge the charges, shouting to marines they orders, getting extremely injured but standing up. It was just amazing.


There was one time, In a honor duel with a predator, that I managed to cut his hand with a knife and gutted the shit out from his chest. I still have lost the battle, but I injured him enough.

In Icy, I robusted a ravager with a fire axe, just to get FFed to death. He already was damaged from some shots but, I got him.

Some moments I took back hydro... Some moments, I OBed comms, and got lynched by Apophis and by the marines... Sometimes I damage the marines system good, while others I help the marines with something important...

Living through the entire round as a Hunter, the marines outnumbered our asses from 12 - 60 so we did the best thing that came to our minds... we all decided ravage the marines asses in groups, demoralize the nearby pred, and then when shit couldn't get any more real, we killed the shitty Commander Balto, and raised several beautiful larvae who then grew up to fight on the front lines of the Whiskey Outpost. But this isn't a story of a time when xenos turned it into a xeno major from what was supposed to be a marine major.

At the end of it, before anyone was able to react, I jumped into pod 3 as the marines were EVAcing, delimbed 4 marines, tanked the BC'd shots from an SMG and tail stabbed a PMC in his eyes. Then the Queen and the other guys (our crusher, spitter, and other hunter) came in, and showed those pussies what dying truly was, they died... but they showed their asses who was the true predator of the galaxy!
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

Uganda Squad Best squad


One time, while I was bravo SL, I was defending North of nexus with other two marines and a sentry, I was full of incendiary slugs and we held off a crusher, a carrier and a hunter. But command set retreat so everyone started to run to LZ1 while the two marines the sentry and me stay in North of nexus (I dint see the command announcement and the other two marines stay with me because of my "Bravery"). We held it pretty good until I saw the CO and XO yell at me: What the fuck are you doing SL? Get the hell out of there, so I run to LZ2 trough West nexus, in the way, I buckshoted a runner and killed him, the other two marines got hugged, then a crusher was waiting for me in the airlock, so I decided to rush and he stomp, I got a few slashes, I got up and I started to shoot the crusher while I was escaping, then the crusher just retreated and I got to LZ2, just to fall in paincrit, then a ravager, a hunter and a sentinel come to me, and I said: GG, but the aliens didn't hugg me, they just nested me and go to LZ1, I was talking in bravo headset telling: Please don't forget Uganda Squad, the CO even made a announcement: Bravo SL who fought with bravery and was the last man standing in nexus, want us to remember Uganda Squad.

Funny thing was that I killed the crusher, then I got nested but not infected, was in LZ2 yelling at command for a rescue for like 30 minutes until ayyliums realized that I was not hugged and a rav came and huged me

Fun thing 2: I bust a larvae, and the larvae was the crusher that I killed jeje

Fun thing 3: The XO who refused to rescue me was NoahKirchner
