Hmm. My best kill… wasn't. Mine, that is; not directly. Indulge me as I spin the yarn…
This was on Death Island. I was in a lone hog and behind me was either Mixy or (BFM_)Jar gunning a rocket hog. Whichever one of them it was, it was that person's birthday, a fact we'd briefly discussed (congrats and so on) on Vent (and whoever it was, it was someone with mad leet gunning skills; I was literally sweating trying to stay alive!).
So anyway, they were chasing along behind me, heading past the base and towards the tunnel and then the jump. The rockets were exploding all around me and I was dodging and weaving for all I was worth. I use Push-To-Talk on Vent so nobody heard my desperate grunts, but I could hear their excited laughter and comments along the lines of “Oh, I'm gonna get you!” and “You can't run forever!” (or things to that effect).
They'd just fired the third rocket in the clip, which I'd narrowly avoided with a clever little twist manouvre just at the start of the ramp before the jump, and at this point they were just a few hog lengths behind me (dodging slows you down considerably, allowing them to catch up). It was obvious that they would be close enough that I'd be impossible to miss once we hit the jump.
Now what I could see, since I was looking ahead and planning my route, but which the gunner behind me couldn't, because he was focussing on aiming at me, was the rocket hog on my team that had apparently flipped going over the ramp and was now accelerating towards the jump again.
So with the thrill of the chase echoing over Vent, I go over the jump and just let up the “w” (forward) key so I drop straight down over the edge; and the rocket hog behind me comes over the ramp at full throttle — still reloading and still focussed on finding me — jumping over and past me…
…and straight into the rocket from my team rocket hog in front!
The Vent channel went
utterly quiet with surprise; into which I press my PTT key and in a casual deadpan tone say “Happy Birthday.” The spluttering indignation was Legendary!
The best kills I've actually gotten myself have all been random lucky shots. A couple of triple+ kills with nades from the passenger seat (iirc I once took out two hogs with a total of five enemies, with two well placed frag nades from the passenger seat; or coming out of the tunnel on Sidewinder heading to Red Base, and nading an enemy hog while we were both in the air), a few kills from the air after an enemy rocket has killed my driver and blasted my hog way up into the air on Blood Gulch (lap nav), or across-the-map kills on Blood Gulch and Sidewinder. But as I say, those have been so random and lucky I don't really count them; unlike the Death Island story above which I like to think was an uncommonly nice display of tactical racing, defensive driving, and taking advantage of team play (and, yes, I did have to say it myself
).
