Anyone had any cool/funny moments?

A soon-to-be-classic one : the proxy on the bumper in DesolateDominion : donnng ! donnng ! donnng ! donnng ! donnng !.......

And in Compressed, the proxy stuck into the elevator's rails, preventing it to work !
Lifts should be forbidden to proxies !

Just got done from an off line game. Not sure who it was but we had been firing with ERDW and neither was hitting the other...so we danced around a bit more finally we both stoped for a second he pulled the tigger I pulled the trigger...we got each other. It was funny to see both skeletons fall backwards at the same time

When I use the Gravity Vortox, I have a blast with that weapon and I kill myself with it %70 of the time. When I think I'm far away enough, I'm not and get sucked in. When I use my grapple and gravity belt and when my hook gets pulled towards the black hole, I'm like "NO!!!!!"! This mostly happens on Invasion when I use it on a group of monsters.

I love watching proxies play trampoline on completely vertical jumppads... They just sit there and bounce for an eternity, chatting randomly as they do... It was the funniest thing when two proxies bouncing next to each other seemed to be having a conversation!

I was coming back to the base carrying the enemy flag, but someone was coming behind me with a vortex !

Cling ! Clung ! Whooooosh ! He launches the Vortex on our flag.

Faster than lighning, I hang on my grapple to save my ass, but... too late !

I got sucked into the vortex, to our flag.... and scored

Well I can only speak for myself, but I usually vote DM, smallish maps, until there are a minimum of 6 players.

I myself just don't think 2 on 2 is CTF really. IMO it takes at least 3 per team. And even then, if the map that wins the vote is Face3 (arrgghh!) then even 3 per team aint gonna do it for me. If you see me playing Face 3 with 2 or 3 per team, I'm probably actually afk, smoking a cig and chatting, or just goofing off in the map somewhere.

It just don't get it for me is all. If there is 5 or less, I'd rather go to ChaosDM1 or something. If we are lucky and 7 or 8 or more players continue to show up as they have, then I'll vote CTF with you every time.

I prefer playing CTF, and I don't mind being 2 vs 2. It in CTF that the mines get really strategic. And the vortex too, as you can see !
I never thought a vortex could be used to escape the ennemy by being sucked into it !

I'm a fan of BR in normal weapons, but I didn't get into Chaos BR. The essence of BR is the translocator, and it doesn't fit into Chaos, IMHO (I tried BR, with no translocator, flag drop on grapple)

Edit, could a moderator split the topic, please, so as we can discuss the different game types in Chaos outside the funny story thread ?

You should try one of these conventions in Arizona. We play all kinds of gametypes, as well as DM... At Leprecon in May, we played tons of Invasion... It was so much fun with all the players we had on the LAN that it nearly gave my friend a heart attack! I swear, he actually said, if I pass out, call 911, and he seemed really serious when he said it.

But anyway, there's nothing like a good game of invasion with 10 players... Imagine what it will be like in Chaos with 16+ players (we will have a sponsor donate 20 or more computers at Hexacon)... It's next week and it's going to be awesome.

Plus we'll also probably run BR, DOM, DDOM, LMS, CTF... And possibly some non-UT2003 games (Sometimes I forget that there's other games out there too!)...

this is kinda related, only in the sence that the EDRW is an instagib though walls thing...
anyone play Wheel of TIme? Remember BaleFire?
It used to be the least used weapon, but it was FUN in the beginning, had a huge kick for high jumps, etc.

well, lining a guy up, shot, killed him, a guy behind the wall, and another guy a level down across the map...

most I ever got was four in one shot.

then there is the Balefire Jump to higher level (Look down and fire) and killing the guy under you....muahaha

ahem...

well, best moment in Chaos...
Arena Mutator with only the Proxies....there were 5 bots...and HUNDEREDS of proxies.

Gonna have to try that proxy idea at Hex.

I can just see it now: "Dude, why did you make it Proxy Arena?"

"Cuz I love proxies"

"You suck."

Ahh, good times...

funniest firemine happening:
TeamGreed
No Score or Time limits
0% Friendly Fire
AR-Frigate:Entrance of "Frigate"
what happened: I layed 10 mines all the way down the entrance doorway, making them completly block the door. My frendly bot, comes from the inside and another from the outside. The inside bot hit the lasers while the outside one got him stuck.
Conclusion: They both died, and i was caught in the blast.
Me: first firemine explosion: lowered my health to 1. An enemy bot came along and chucked a poison grenade at me. The grenade missed. I hit him with my last firemine and blew us both up.
Final conclusion: Rings everywhere because all three bots and I were Greedy.

i hate playing the small maps, i can own when playing in a map that i can move around it, there have been several games where i jump on a server with like 6 players and i end up winning with like 6 deaths and i started half way through the match.... now those are a blast

CTF Citadel
I take the ennemy flag and run outside, but the way is blocked by two firemines, and an ennemy is after me

I jump over the two mines

, and run outside.
Behind me I hear the two mines "booooom", and see messages like

"dave killed himself with his own mine"
Dave : "BOOOOOOO !!!"
