I made this topic so we could share our finest, bravest and most embarassing moments when fighting demon or human in the world of Doom3.
Today in multiplayer I went toe to toe with some guy, everyone else was fighting elsewhere It was a showdown between me, the rusty amature, fighting his first returning match after a month or three of cold turkey vs a pro, honing his skills since the day he bought D3, ready to fry some noob (probably).
I was chased into the rocket launcher room of the Alpha(?Delta?) Labs, with only 25 health, to find my nemesis had already beaten me to the rocket spawn point. I deftly side stepped his rockets feeling my persuer would enjoy them more then I ever would. And then there were two.
My nemesis had obviously been waiting at the spawn point forever so I used his reload time to snatch up the shotgun from my persuer's evapourated corpse. And tried to down him at a distance rather than close the distance to his rockets. He was as nimble as I so there we were, dancing backward and forward around the partition, bounding forward when I could and retreating when it started getting hot.
We did this for what seemed like an eternity. Both of us locked in matrix like combat as we shifted from brute weapons to the machineguns. I, spraying the opposite wall with chaingun bullets and he, waving his machinegun around like a lightsaber, trying to cut me up. He didn't though, my fast paced dodging was too much for him. And his for me. Of course I was moving so eratically my shots were flying all over the shop.
You are a lucky man, thinks I as I reached for my pistol, but I am a dead shot with this baby. He too had run out of clips and was readying his pistol. In all modesty I have never met a noob or pro to match my Pistol while Dodging skill, so I laid into the moving target hitting chest and head, it was a matter of time...
Then the Rocket Launcher spawned.
In horror I witnessed the rocket zooming towards my future position. Whether misfired or skill I don't know, but it hit me. Doing 0 damage. I sprinted for the aclove on my left and holed up in there so I could type 'wtf' 'invincible???' while that heartless fiend caried on maiming me, or trying to. It must have been a glitch or a hidden code I hit while dodging or something. Whatever, he would pay.
As he unloaded his rockets on my immortal shell, I flung a grenade in his direction. He simply said 'hacks' and signed off and my grenade exploded next to me. Hurting me.. Next thing I know a godly voice says: You Lose. Then I beheld red team's victory on the score table. I thought we were playing deathmatch :(
Maybe you guys will present your stories, if you can be bothered, with a little less dramatization :P
