I was playing MW2 this last week and there were 4 of us (multiplayer) getting ready to bust into a room and take down some fools! I said I was going to throw a flashbang and then we could take them down. Not paying attention to what I was doing, I tossed the flashband and I bounced it off the frame of the door. Landed back on the floor at our feet and went off. Needless to say, all four of us were taken out by the "fools" were going to take out. I got to hear some new combos of words about me, my mom and a goat.

Yeah, I rulez!

Wanna admit to yours or point and laugh at mine?

Have fun!

hmm today I threw a flashbang in cod:mw2, dazed the guy, saw he was dazed then for whatever reason threw another flashbang that bounced off him, came back and dazed me and then I got shot as he recovered from the first. Mad Skills.

The first time i played Spec Ops at my friends house, it was the Breach and Clear mission. He's switching his guns to have a good layout, when i just set the charge,
run in guns blazing, tossing nades wildly. Cause of mission failure? The nades kill us both.

Demolition where they had 3 guys surrounding the last bomb-site - I believe the one inside in Sub Base.

My friends were talking about how to approach it when I screamed "LEEEERRROOOOYY JEEENNKKKIINNSSS" and lobbed a Stun, and then ran in with a .44 Tactical Knife.

Piao.

Recently in a Gears of War 2 game (on the Blood Drive map), I was on the COG team with some randies, and we decided to rush the Locust team. We originally planned to do it carefully, lobbing smoke grenades over their cover and advancing with our shotguns out, but instead I decided to do it the exciting way and ran in revving my chainsaw bayonet. The rest of my team just went 'meh' and did the same thing, but we weren't anticipating the half-dozen grenades stuck to the pillars they taking cover behind.

Alas, poor Carmine, I knew him well.

About three months or so after Halo 3 came out, my two brothers and myself finally managed to arrange a night to try out xbox LIVE for the first time.

None of us had played a shooter online before, and our first match was this one with a base either end, and warthogs and mongooses you could ride on. It was also really hilly and a long map. (ie I can't remember the name.)

We literally had no idea what to do other than the fact we'd played co-op and single player to death. Then my middle brother (I'm eldest) suddenly had the idea lets use the Warthog.
So there we are, I'm in the passanger seat, my youngest bro is in the gun and we fly over the first hill, mow down a guy coming over it, and shoot the other two following behind.

We then drove around for what seemed like ages, the other players clearly wheren't sure if we where just mad, or pro's because they kept really stand offish. After one finally flipped the warthog they battered us for another few mins until two logged out in disgust.

It was a beautiful moment though, I'd have loved to hear what they where saying when this warthog flew over the crest of the hill and tore them to pieces.

I think my best Jenkins moment would be MW2 a couple nights ago.

We were playing Skidrow and there was a Soviet Sniper in the second floor of the building across from the bookstore. I had managed to sneak up to the staircase by going in on the side, and was ready to rush him. I went tearing in, and accidentally tossed my frag, which bounced off him and hit me in the face, stunning us both and landing right between us.

I'm sure you can guess what happened next


Another Rangers player saw it and said "Just like the real thing."

I had a pretty terrible moment on Pokemon Battle Revolution (this sorta qualifies, right?). My team was Arcanine, Breloom and Garchomp. Arcanine always led off to get the initial Intimidate, but my opponent led off with Tentacruel. Arc's movepool is normal or fire physical, so I immediately swap out knowing I can do nothing and I'm about to get Surfed. In comes Garchomp (Choicebanded), and he gets Ice Beamed. Ouch. I pull out Breloom and he gets Ice Beamed, but Focus Sash keeps him alive as he Spores. Tentacruel remains asleep the next turn as I Focus Punch, failing to kill due to type resistance (even though I could have chosen Thunder Punch >.< damned force of habit). Tenty wakes up and Ice Beams again for splatso on Breloom. I shift back into Arcanine and get Ice Beamed again, and I get Frozen! An Ice Beam and a crit later, I'm done. My whole team wiped out by a Choice Scarfed Tentacruel.

I dont know if this counts but when ever im in a co-op with a friend im always leroy. i run into the fray gunzablazin. i tend to die that way fast. it makes my friend mad sometimes. especially if it is one of those games where its where the partner have to revive.

Your friend got made? I wouldn't piss him off if I were you, made men can be very dangerous.

3v3 DoW 2 match. 3 nids v 3 orks. Hmmm... Both rushed and each destroyed ech others bases while we were away. We run low on req so I go to capture some points. Running some rippers there and get caught by big mek. Do I run away? No. I send in my Ravener and guess what. He Mods some how and blasts me in face with plasa thingy. Me deady...

I would do that in borderlands a lot when I played as Brick. Tap my "KILL EVERYONE button" and just WAAAGH right into things. Sometimes I would forget that I wasn't brick any more and try that with my soldier character...my soldier tended to get knocked down lots

There was this old 360 game called Chromehounds, about these giant robots walking around. I can't count the number of times I got sniped in the side while I ran ahead, I know there has got to be some leroy moment from that game that I was a part of, but I can't remember it. (maybe it was the time we decided to all cannon rush, and we crashed right into the enemy team...and they were all rocket hounds or something.)

a buddy of mine from work and i frequently play MW2 online together, so one day he suggests we go play HCTDM... my first kill for about 5 minutes: my buddy...who is on MY TEAM!!!!

basically the way it went down: we were playing on Scrapyard, and im running through one of the airplane tubes toward the L shaped building, whereupon i see muzzle flash in the window of the second floor. Being that im toting my FMJ M4 carbine.. i just let off a nice little burst into the area where a body would be in relation to the muzzle. unfortunately, the muzzle flash belonged to my buddy.

When i charged by myself into an army of vechiles in halo 3 with a plasma greande and a bubble shield and a sniper rifle and a plasma pistol XD. needless to say i killed everything some how. 8 players down. then i was wide eyed and wide mouthed and then i get hit by my own team! -.- dumbasses.
In MW2 i held onto a postion by myself with a automatic gun and a Javelin. i shot my javelin at a heli it exploded. and i took my automatic rifle and started shooting randomly into a sniper postion. somehow i get shot in the head by a sniper me and him both died at the same time! then i respawn and a care package lands on me! That really pissed me off then i play it agian i respawn then i am camped for the rest of the game!

New Jenkins moment:

Playing Domination in Terminal last night on MW2. Got a 7 kill streak by mowing people down as they tried to rush the escalator. I then promptly said "Come get some!" into my desk mic.

A Soviet player responded, saying "Alright, if that's what you want."

I then got a Predator Missile in the face via the huge skylight above me

Everyone had a good chuckle over that.

MY leeroy jenkins moments were in the the first Left for dead on vs.

Our team was running out of the alley on No mercy, and taking it really slow but i didnt have time to be waiting (i had to be out in like 15 mins) So i thought to myself screw this ! And just ran out in the middle of the street with a shotgun blazing punting all the infected, none of the sepcial infected could touch me, i hit the alarmed car too summoning a horde as i ran for the safe room, got in closed the door as myteammates were dying, but i thought it was cruel to do that so ran back out only to be met by one angry hunter finishing me off as well as my team mates.

Hearing their screams of rage i left chuckling

You know what would've solved that problem? Roman-Themed Space Marines

HaHa, I would gladly give you my seargent model if you liked them so much

but your right Roman-themes Space Marines would have solved the hunter clawing my face of haha

I'm new to MW2, but on the rainy map I was chasing down a dude, and jumped off a really tall building. I wound up killing myself in the fall right in front of the guy I was chasing :(

The demo's new shield unlock is essentially made of this.

Well, I was actually on the opposite side of this (As in, it was my team wining because of it) but this happened to me in Left 4 Dead 2 the other night. I was playing Versus on Dark Carnival (Stage 2 at the time - the Fairgrounds) and the entire enemy team just charged the level. They immediately got scattered by a Charger, one person got grabbed by a Smoker, and another got dragged away by a Jockey. As the last member was chasing after the Jockey (Who had run out of line of sight by then) our fourth team member, a Hunter, jumped on him and ended the round in about thirty seconds.

Yeah...there was much ragequitting after that one. I think they managed 28 points out of a possible 500 (600 with the survival bonus).

MW2

Skidrow

I was in the washing machine room trying to get up into the main building (2 guys on radar)..im running Marathon, Light weight, Commando, tac knife, and a carepackage in my hand...

I rush around the door knife 1 guy, hide back in, rush right back out knife another guy that was coming at the door...i see 3 blips behind me ont he radar so im like o shee.. so i run into the w/ the building (good sniper building) by the stair case/alley w/ the dumpster and wait.. they are coming at me, then i see 2 more blips behind me coming thru the building... i somehow managed to finagle my way jumping doorways and knifed all of them to get the game winning kill >.<

1 guy w/ a knife > 7 guys w/ guns

was playing at a local lan center...my buddies that were playing/watching all got a good laugh

And yet, it also features very much win...

Best Leeroy Jenkins moment I've read yet. The Soviet player's nonchalant comment rules.

I know. By the sounds of it, I wasn't the only one laughing up tears after that. The game literally came to a standstill for about 2 minutes so that everyone could compose themselves again.


Another good Jenkins moment I was witness to was a game winning kill, in which a TF141 Player snuck up behind an OPFOR player in Favela and told him to turn around. He then blew the guy's nuts off with his Spas-12 and got the game-winner for it

Ah man don't get me started on flash bangs and ROE. I used to play America's Army and nothing was worse than having a great K/D ratio then accidently dropping a 203 thorugh the window and nuking your team mates haha. I spent a lot of time in Levenworth

... you might have misread the OP.



I reinstalled Titan Quest the other day and respecced my keyboard to suit my mutant left handed ways. I couldn't remember my old keyboard layout so I make a new layout that seems reasonable. Half the other players are back in town but I don't care, my defender is getting pretty tough and I've got a good supply of potions. I charge into a tough fight and see my health start dropping, so I hit Num Pad 0 for a potion... except that was the old keyboard setting, and now Num Pad 0 is weapon swap. So now I'm the middle of combat, drinking no potion and wielding the bow I picked up at first level.

I was playing battlefield 2 on my PS2 and rushed in to get the artillery strike. I killed an opposing player and proceeded to look for my targets. The map was very blue and the only reds were in vehicles, couldn't hit the jeep but saw a tank on the bridge along with a lot of blues near it. Using my logic I struck the bridge and... killed my entire team. The tank was perfectly safe because the fether driving it had gotten stuck in the waterway below the bridge(which is inaccessible to most vehicle btw) and my guys were on top of the bridge.

I heard "Quit the game now." and several other words over my mic.

Playing Fifa '09 at school today, Arsenal Vs. Man. United
I got three players sent of during normal play, but still managed to hold a 2-2 draw.
It then carried on to extra time, where I managed to score.
Final minute of game time, fouled someone in my penalty area, and got another player sent off.
had to forfeit the match because I didn't have enough players, and so lost
