This Troper had an entire round as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome. The setup was a four Heavy team staggered against a single Scout(me) with five points. I systematically captured every point and killed each heavy at least three times using a strategy of erratically zipping around like the Road Runner on crack and dumping the Shortstop into anything that moved. The impressive part is that I didn't take a single point of damage.

This troper, playing as a Medic in the Granary, once ubered a Spy. Immediately after the effects wore off, I was gibbed by a Demoman. God was apparently trying to punish me for my stupidity.

This Troper witnessed his friend have a CrowningMomentOfAwesome. To set the stage, I was a soldier, he was a pyro, and we were facing a RED pyro(Also a friend of mine) on one of the bridges in koth_viaduct. The RED pyro airblasted my friend in the air, and I shot a rocket at the RED's feet, launching him in the air. Both start to fall, but before the RED pyro could hit the ground, my BLU friend shoots him out of the air with the shotgun.

This troper was on a 24/7 turbine server. I built a sentry and a dispenser beside a shipping container. 78 kills, 54 assists, survived 4 Ubers and I was killed 5 times. It took 7 heavies to stop me. Hell yeah!

I had two, both as spies. The first, pl_badwater, both me and a friend on defense. We both pick spies and hide to the left of the spawn point (facing the gates). Two heavies pop out in front of us and head toward the carts. Sensing an opportunity too good to be passed up, we glance at each other, and without a word decloak. I go left, he goes right, and we backstab both heavies '''at the same time'''. And we get away scot-free not a second after. The second, with the same friend, took place in ctf_2fort. They had set up 3 sentries guarded by 3 engineers in the courtyard. These three had repelled an uber. My friend and I infiltrate their base, and observe. I decloak, stab and sap a sentry on the top floor. The second sentry couldn't reach me, and just as the third sentry turns to kill me, I hear another stab and sap go off. By now the third engineer figured out he had a spy infestation, so he turns toward my friend, grabbing his shotgun. He ducks into another room as I headshot him with an Ambassador. He turns toward me and my friend pops out again, with a normal revolver, and pumps two shots into his body. I disguise and sap the last sentry, but a heavy notices and revs his gun at me. However, he had stepped to far forward. My friend jumps from the balcony, lands on the heavy and stabs him at the same time (while yelling "ALTAIR!" over the mic; we officially renamed the move that afterwards). We split up and got the intel back, though it did cost him his life (a pyro found him).

This Troper was playing Engineer on a payload map. The enemy was too close to victory for a teleporter to be useful, so I stuck to Sentry and Dispenser. They could barely make any sort of progress, and I was kicking ass. But, there was one spy who kept sneaking up behind me and trying to kill me, only succeeding once and not living long enough to enjoy it. Luckily, he was using the Your Eternal Reward, so when he tried to decloak to backstab me my sentry gun would blow him up (Which freaked me out every time, since it would turn and face me, beeping to indicate it was planning to kill something.) Still, I got paranoid, and until the end of the round I would occasionally whip around and swing at the air to try and get him. I did awesome that round. Between the spy and the others trying to move the cart? 13 kills, 6 assists, and 7 attempts on my life. I was tweaking out for an hour after that.

This troper still remembers one of the first days he was playing this game, ableit on the Xbox 360 version, and was trying out spy on 2fort. Though he was doing realtively terrible, at one point he was just walking around stabbing his knife in front of him in his base... and at one point, the spy did the backstab animation, and a spy corpse appeared in front of me. Still to this day the best moment I have ever had as spy.

This troper had a CrowningMomentOfFunny. My favorite server encourages people to have random discussions over mic, and two different conversations about different topics were going on. Lots of people were talking at once, and one guy said sarcastically, "Why doesn't everyone make all their statements...AT ONCE?" Sure enough, everyone started spouting random gibberish into their mic, and for some reason, everyone all stopped at the same time, EXCEPT FOR ME...just as I said, "YOU'RE FAT!" Everyone was laughing so hard that nobody noticed the Payload cart had advanced two points while the hysterics were going on.

Dunno how often it occurs, but this is still my personal favorite moment ever. I was relatively new on what is my favorite server, and we were doing a Payload map, BLU team. I forget the name, but it was the map with the cart replaced by a man-eating train. I was alternating between Pyro and Scout, and we pretty much demolished them until we reached the final point. They had managed to build up a NASTY sentry nest, along with decent Snipers and solid defense. I changed to Spy, but for shits and giggles I decided to run head-first into the base a few times while cloaking. After getting killed after the 5th or 6th time, I decided enough was enough and snuck around the side-routes to get behind them. Sure enough, they were staring straight ahead, expecting me to come from the front again. I proceeded to backstab 3 Engineers, sap all their stuff, and backstab almost everyone else in front of me. I ended up riding the train to victory while Spycrabbing. All in a day's work.

This troper was on the losing end of a dustbowl game, when someone had the idea to micspam. At first, we thought it was all to annoy us further, when suddenly Make A Man Out Of You from Mulan started playing. This lead to a full scale charge against the BLU team, and as the song ended, one Heavy said "You are dead! Not big surprise!"

Me playing on CP_dustbowl, set up a classic sticky trap, My brother of all people wandered into it. #QUOTE# (IMK) Dallenson ([=EVILvil=]) [Insert sticky picture here] aoirann

After being a team player and refraining from playing engineer at all until the spam died down, this troper was playing KOTH_Sawmill and finally had a chance to play engineer again. He had tinkered with the new weapons in private and had grown partial to the Gunslinger. After capping the point, I went out the other side and over to the right, looking for someone to fight. Little did I know that suddenly a Pyro and medic were rounding the corner, while a spy and another engineer were up above on the bridge. Upon seeing the pyro, I hightailed it directly towards the water, firing my shotgun all the while. They gave chase, the medic shooting needles and the spy and engineer dropping down and joining in. I danced around, wounding whoever I could, actually managing to down the other engineer, and frantically reloading. I was on fire but doused myself in the water before grabbing the health kit on the log. The pyro was very confused when he couldn't hurt me any more. Then the sniper arrived from behind, trying to potshot me. Then I got the most evil idea. I whipped out my PDA and dropped a mini sentry Under the Water. Suddenly they were all distracted by the bullets coming from nowhere. I killed the sniper with my shotgun and pistol while my sentry got the pyro and spy. The medic was driven away. More enemies were coming so I hightailed it out of there, reaching the safety of my teammates with an incredible 9 hp left and 4 kills to my name. I actually shouted into the mic "I AM THE KING OF ENGINEERS!"

On Egypt during the final cap point, a teammate and I put up two sentry/dispenser combos next to each other overlooking the one-way door behind the cap point. Cue the appearance of ''two'' pairs of Ubercharged Medi/Heavies - each had a frantic race to outlast the other four, we engies constantly repairing our turrets and dispensers while the Medi/Heavies sat and sprayed us with minigun fire for 10 seconds. We managed out outlive them, but then an Ubered Demo came out and stickyed our Engie post to hell.

Defending the last point on CP_Dustbowl. Everyone on Red was way far forward, and I was a Medic looking to get in on the Curb-stomp. However, I suddenly remembered how many matches are lost due to a ridiculously fast back cap. I immediately turn around and sure enough, Scout on the last point! I round the corner and see him all the way across. With no other choice, I fire my Crusader's Crossbow. THUNK! Stick and kill the scout for 64 damage and defend the point with a sliver remaining. Needless to say, my team stayed close to the base for the rest of the match.

This Troper witnessed a CrowningMomentOfAwesome on a battle at cp_dustbowl. Now, sadly, I was dead when this happened. I was playing as an Engineer, with my sentry set up and fully upgraded, guarding Stage 2, point 2. I was doing decently, but not good enough to stop a Natascha-wielding Heavy from charging towards the point. He managed to destroy my sentry and kill me as I fled for my life back towards spawn. (Bear in mind, this is before the additional disadvantage was added to Natascha.) This Heavy decided not to cap the point, choosing instead to kill my teammates. I thought we'd lost for sure, but then a Medic wielding an Ubersaw popped up from behind that rock with the large health pack behind it. He charged towards the Heavy, saw drawn. Of course, the first thing I thought was "He's an idiot." The Heavy fired wildly at the Medic, pumping what should have been a lethal amount of lead into him. But somehow, the Medic survived long enough to crit-saw the Heavy to death. The Heavy then said to us, "How the Hell did you bumrush a Heavy from full health with an Ubersaw?" To which the Medic responded, "Luck."

While playing on 2fort classic as a spy, this troper went up to backstab an annoying huntsman sniper on the battlements. He had a razorback, so I whip out the revolver and somehow only hit him once at point blank range. Cue running back out the battlements while shooting, and watching in horror as a pyro and a demoman join the chase. So I frantically backpedal towards the sewer entrance, dodging grenades, fire and arrows, and somehow takes down all three of them within 4 clips of revolver ammo before hitting the sewer. The only other thing I've done remotely close to this was walking out the wrong base as an engi and wrenching a preoccupied full health heavy to death.

This troper was once so irritated in a round of Hydro at the enemy team of all-engineers that he finally just went spy. I disguised as an enemy spy, running through all of their stuff shouting SPY! SPY! to point myself out and sappered all of their stuff as I went. I backstabbed more than a dozen engineers and destroyed over 50 points of buildings before we finally pushed through their wall of sentry nests. They had gone from an 8 or so minute standoff to watching helplessly as one spy sprints through their equipment, sappering everything in sight faster than they can repair it. The embarassing part for them was that they were using macros to knock off the sappers, and I wasn't using anything to set them, and they still couldn't stop me. They all knew that the spy was an enemy, and where I was, but were just helpless to stop me as I sucked out health and destroyed everything that had held off our entire 16 person team for most of the entire match. The finale of that CrowningMomentOfAwesome was that as my team capped the point, I stood in front of the last enemy nest that had about 5 engineers desperately trying to fix their sentries, dropped cloak, brushed off my suit and then flicked a cigarette onto their corpses and got the fanfare of getting the acheivement for having given them a screenshot of me tossing a butte onto their body. This troper has never beaten that score-run yet. That ~60 point massacre stands proudly against all my other runs.

This troper Was playing on CP balloon race, as a soldier. The balloon was about to get to high up to reach normally, the teleporter onto it was too far away, so what does this troper do? rocket jump onto it in a mini CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

Last cap on Granary, and this troper is playing soldier. I rocket jump into the air, hit a sentry twice to kill it and it's engi, and then I get a crit, killing heavy standing on the point, and filling my rage meter. I then reload, call that in, and my team steamrolls the final point. Best part is my final kill before we cap- I dominate a pyro, and I get this quote- #QUOTE#'''Soldier''': If god had wanted you to live, he would not have created ME!"

Holy crap, that's exactly what happened in Meet The Soldier

This troper was on the receiving end of what looked like a Crowning Moment of Awesome. I was heading towards the last capture point on Dustbowl (I think it was Dustbowl, the last point was the one under the rocket) with a group of about four or five teammates, when a Demoman and a Medic ambushed us from behind. The Medic deployed his ubercharge (which turns the medic and whoever he's healing invincible for ten seconds) as the Demo launched himself above us with a sticky bomb. While in the air, he then launched several more stickies around our little group, detonating them as he hit the ground and reducing all of us Blues to stains on the walls. If there was ever a moment for the Demoman to automatically say a quote, there is only one that would fit: #QUOTE#'''Demoman''': "Heh, imagine if I hadn't been drunk!"

This troper once stormed a room full of sentries, their Engineers standing next to Dispeners, and a Pyro AS a Pyro and survived to kill them all. 'Without a Medic healing for half the process.' Granted, a Demoman blew him up afew seconds after, but it was still awesome.

This troper was once playing a Pyro being healed by a Medic on the 2Fort map. I was running down the bridge when suddenly three Heavies came down and started firing at us. RIGHT THEN I was Ubercharged and burned the lot of them to death. Once the Uber was over, I raised my flamethrower above my head, cackling in triumph (and getting two Acheivements as well). Unfortunately, my victory was short-lived when a Sniper shot me in the ass. Literally, I was lying on the ground dead with an arrow plunged in my ass. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Few things are as awesome and funny as two pyros in an extended axe duel.

This Troper once outsmarted enemy team with public chat in 2Fort: He went down to enemy sewers as a demoman and sticky-bombed the whole ceiling. Then he wrote in the public chat: "Guys, come help me. I have tele and dispenser up in enemy sewers and I need backup so I can get a sentry up." Opposing team player answered: "Thanks for info!" In a few moments half of the opposing team came rumbling down to sewers only to realize they were fooled few milliseconds too late... cue the flying bloody body parts and a lot of aggressive swearing on the mic.

I still think I've done the most awesome kill when I as a spy managed to stab a cloaked spy in the back of the head.

I consider the first time I took down a Sentry as a Sniper: I ran to cover, and then shot the Sentry. When the Engie came out to heal it, I killed him. Then I blew up the Sentry. And then I ran in and melee'd his Dispenser to death for good measure.

And taking down a Sentry as a Scout. With a pistol.

This is why I love being Pyro. We were on a custom map (I think it was CP_BlackMesa or something), and we were down to our last point. The enemy team came charging in, but they didn't notice that I was hiding above a door they were using to get there. I recall there being two medics, a heavy, a demo, a scout, and a pyro. When the last one was through the room, I lept down and charged them from behind. I use the Backburner. The entire attack force was dead in five seconds, and that bought my team time to regain ground.

Two of my first headshots as Sniper were a moving Scout and a fully cloaked Spy.

I was playing as sniper on 2fort, down in the sewer area. I take a shot out of boredom and a misclick, and next thing I know, one (fully cloaked) dead spy, one achievement get. And it was hilarious.

In the first round of Dustbowl, everyone was trying to be a Scout and Heavy in my team. Little did we know, the enemy team was all Engineers. After being absolutely slaughtered repeatedly by Sentries, I realized after turning the camera when it was showing which sentry killed me, that only one Engineer was near the point, out of range of all the other Engineer camping spots. I promptly changed into a Spy, disguised myself as an Engineer, and cloaked as I approached the Engineer by the point, whom was almost done upgrading his sentry. I got behind him with my knife ready, and was prepared to pull a suicidal move, and just stab the Engineer and let the sentry kill me. To my suprise, as I decloaked behind the Engineer, another friendly spy decloaked in front of him, with Sapper ready. I backstabbed the Engineer at the same time he sapped the sentry. Upon sapping the sentry, he shot it once, revealing himself as I ran up to the point to capture it. He pulled out his knife as well and stood next to me as we stood there, facing the same way. We both taunted at the same time, and as we both thrust our knives forward at the end of our taunts, the Sentry exploded, and time had been added.

I remember the end of a round in an Arena match on Granary. Two engineers were left on the control point. The BLU engineer taunts his opponent, the RED one rushes forward with his shotgun, and is promptly turned into mincemeat by a BLU sentry between the crates. Who says Spies are the only ones who can be Magnificent Bastards?

I got one soon after joining a clan. I was invited in to a match by one of my friends. After a while, me and him end up fighting each other, me a Medic healing a Pyro, him, a Pyro being healed by a medic. My Pyro and his Medic both go down, and I'm left as one of the least combat-oriented classes against someone with a flamethrower and far more experience. I manage to take him down with nothing but my Blaughtsauger, even with him getting the health and ammo packs nearby. Said friend happened to be an admin of the clan I was in.

I once, as a medic, strayed from my buddy to land a ubersaw hit on a heavy. Not only did I get the hit, but I managed to kill the heavy in the process.

once I was on my own as a medic, with low health. I was in the enemy base. i saw a heavy gunning down my teammates, so i circle strafe the heavy with the uber-saw, killing him and proceeding to uber another teammate to win the match. A CrowningMomentOfAwesome if I ever saw one.

My own personal CrowningMomentOfAwesome was on a custom map, cp_aqua. I was defending, and the final control point in aqua is at the back of a long, narrow cave. The enemy had a huge base set up basically just outside our reach, so we were turtling and trying to run out the clock. Cue my class change to sniper. One life; 19 kills, 11 headshots. I basically won the game for us. Counter snipers? Dead. Medics? Dead. Spies? Dead. It was brutal, and wonderful.

I had exactly the same experience on a different map. I cant remember what it was but it was a custom attack/defend map with blus attacking from a boat. I was sniping from a large tower overlooking the boat. I think one person made past it onto solid ground. 15 headshots, and numerous bodyshots. That is the only time Im ever going to come anywhere near that number.

Pyros seem to get a lot of these moments, and it's for a simple reason- as a Pyro, you ''are'' a CrowningMomentOfAwesome. Everyone on the other team is scared of you. You are the only class who fights best at close range. You fight at close range in a game ''built around guns'', so when you kill someone, it's always personal- not like a long-range sniper shot, where it's just business, or a Demoman's bombs, which are indiscriminate and not personally targeted at you. No, the Pyro kills you from '''right there''', dammit, right in your face, and so your enemies always get a good look at you. It's why people hate them- no other class inspires as much sheer terror as Pyros do. You'd rather have a Spy, who at least has the decency to kill you from behind, than stand face to face with a gas-masked horror whose sole purpose in life is to set fire to your mortal body.

I agree with this. The muffled laughing scream, the mask, the ''bloody axe covered in barbed wire'' coming down in an overhanded chop? Pyros are damn movie monsters

As a n00b W+M1 Pyro on a instant-respawn Viaduct map, I managed to help annoy an enemy Engineer (being supported by a Dispenser AND a Medic, no less) into moving his build. Yeah, I died about five times more than they did, but that was still an awesome feeling.

Can I argue one point? Heavies are also best at close range. Just sayin'.

Really? Just yesterday in 2fort I dominated a heavy as a pyro with nothing but my degreaser and strafing. He went down fast and hard, and finished off my Makin' Bacon achievement. Did I mention I kept this domination running for the entire match, start to finish while capping the intel three times (one time it was in our base, dropped by a dead scout)?

I can tell of two [=CMOAs=], one belongs to my friend and the other to me, we play arena mostly and alternate between medic+attack class, if we survive we remain as we are, if we both die we swap medic, playing on arena badlands, my friend and I survived about five or so consecutive rounds and my friend playing pyro decided to charge directly through the enemy front door leading to the center bridge, filled with enemies, I tell him over the mic not to rush in. He ignores me and charges right on in, I decide not to get killed following him, and run around the back, cue loads of death notices and him charging out the side door, with about half health remaining, to be greeted by me saying "Oh nevermind, you killed them ALL." All he says "Yep." over the course of that round, no one else on our 9 vs. 9 team kills anyone, he kills every last enemy, mine takes place on the same map, with me as medic, entire team and friend dead, up against a heavy, he is revving up to easily kill me, my blutsauger has been emptied into him and I can't spare the reload, so I charge him with ubersaw and kill him, a sniper jarates me and knocks me down to ten health with his kukri, so I get away from him and manage to blutsauger him, the point becomes available, so I head for it, reloading my blut and giving myself a bit of time for my health, a pyro attacks me and I manage to backpeddle and fill him with needles, the last was a scout, who decided to charge directly at me while being pelted with needles, but surviving that and getting into melee distance, charged nicely into my ubersaw.

After hitting a scout with a flare on Wathctower, he attempted to dive off said tower and into the water to extinguish himself. Halfway through the dive, he died from the burning and his charre corpse hit the water.

While playing on the CTF version of Sawmill, this troper finally got the Foul Territory achievement ("Cause an environmental death by stunning an enemy."). Seeing as not many maps ''have'' environmental hazards, the Sandman is a bit hard to hit with, it can generally only fire once every ten seconds unless you miss, and your opponent slides to a stop based on their velocity before being stunned, this can be rather difficult. So how does this troper earn said achievement? An enemy pyro and scout are running toward him, and he whips out his Sandman, hoping to stun the pyro, who is much slower. Instead, he hits the scout instead. He slides to a stop right on the track of the sawblade, only to succumb to the mighty human-sized ripsaw that was headed straight for him, earning this troper a quite hard-to-get achievement legitimately. That felt great.

While playing on the custom map CP Balloon Race, the other team had gotten slightly farther ahead and higher up on the flight to the third point. This troper, as a Pyro, was reflecting rockets from the other team's soldiers when, by a freak accident, he ended up sending an arrow right into the sniper who fired it's head. This troper knows that that would be a moment that he couldn't top.

This Troper was once in the Lumberyard arena, and I'd recently gotten the Huntsman. I stood from the upper floor of the base, took aim at a Pyro and fired. I missed. But, as luck would have it, I hit a fully cloaked spy instead. Got an achievement, too.

Another time a CP map (Gravelpit I think), the second point was under a merciless attack by the enemy team. I, as a Spy, circled around the enemy barrage as they capped the point. Coming from behind I managed to take out the entire six-person attack group at once and defend the point.

Once again, a level-one sentry of mine managed several kills in koth_sawmill while I built teles and a dispenser to support our cause. The opposing team didn't manage to destroy it until sometime later, at which time I rebuilt it and upgraded it to Level 3. I managed to successfully use the same technique for three consecutive rounds, the other team perpetually failing to stop our barrage.

A more noobish moment, but one nonetheless. Arena being my main gamemode, I see a lot of AFKs. Once, as Spy, I went to taunt kill a known AFK with the fencing taunt. Being careless, though, allowed a Demoman to notice me. As I was in mid-taunt, he came to kill me. But he was too late. By then I was executing the final thrust, taking both the AFK and the careless Demo.

This Troper has had a grand share on his most played map (tc_Hydro, Fast-Respawn and 24/7), but his most recent example is his managing to get The Argyle Sap ("Kill an Engineer, his Sentry Gun, and his Dispenser all in one stickybomb detonation.") I went around the back tunnel where I ran into and a had match with a Force-A-Nature wielding scout, who dropped me to 11 health before I managed to bomb him with a stickybomb. With no Medics nearby and the scout poised to come back soon, I decided to go for broke and run into the enemy base. Little did I know that the rest of my team was pushing in from the front entrance - and that everyone was focusing on them. Running underneath the main road to their point, I planted stickybombs on a distracted Sentry nest, managing to kill the Engineer, his entire nest, and two medics, all in one concentrated blast before anyone actually saw him. All this troper had to say for himself? "Sentry Down, move in!"

The biggest Wall Banger moment with the game occurred once in 2Fort: This troper was sneaking in the enemy sewers as a BLU Spy, followed by BLU Pyro. Despite the very clear directions("WAIT. HERE.") given to the Pyro he managed to get this troper killed by running into the vision of RED Lv3 Sentry, which first shot this cloaked Spy to death before giving the Pyro what he deserved.

This troper was playing Engineer once and repairing a sentry gun that had been busted up to the point that it was close to blowing up, and as this was happening I hear the same Scout who had damaged the sentry run up to try to kill me. I turn around, *WHAM!* crit wrench to the head and one dead Scout, and without missing a beat go back to repairing the sentry, which promptly blows up three other players coming in. The entire server burst out laughing.

On the same server in 2Fort as Engineer and getting the "Enemy has captured our intelligence!" message, running down the spiral staircase and coming face to face with the Spy carrying the intel. One hit with the wrench, one dead Spy, one suitcase of saved intel. Not bad for a SquishyWizard character who is usually disadvantaged without a sentry nearby.

And she once witnessed a Heavy on Payload get ''48 kills'' in one life. He started laughing maniacally over the voice chat and no one could blame him.

I was that Heavy, and I am actually a bit saddened by that. I play Sniper and Scout for the most part, but I know I will never top that one day as Heavy, when the spirits of a hundred Russian mercenaries took over my body and created art on the canvas that was my enemies' corpses.

Arena mode always makes these moments so much sweeter, because you know your dead enemies have nothing to do but curse at you and wait for the next round or ragequit. This troper was messing around as a Demoman on a server running Arena Nucleus, using the Chargin' Targe and the Eyelander. At the start of the round, I hang a right into the outer corridor which heads directly to the enemy spawn. Halfway to their spawn there is a small landing with a staircase on both sides which separates the hallway and creates a blind spot. Deciding to roll the dice on this one, I charge up the staircase and meet a Medic halfway down the other side with my sword, scoring a one-hit kill and the First Blood crit bonus. Before his teammates can react, I whip out my grenade launcher and proceed to insta-gib the Soldier, Scout, and Medic that were all following behind him. 15 seconds into the match and I wiped out half the enemy team. Guts and glory, lads!

This Troper has:

Batted a Heavy to death.

Revolvered a Heavy to death.

Backstabbed 2 snipers, an Engineer, sapped all his buildings, and ''got away clean''. All minor to most, but major [=CMOAs=] for me.

This troper joined two teammates in switching to Medic to support a failing RED team (stage 3 of Dustbowl). We ran out of spawn together... right as BLU captured the first point. This locked the spawn door and left us stranded in that hallway, with no pockets to help us break out as the BLU team powered forward outside. To make things worse, two Demomen jumped up almost immediately to clear the hallway. They made quick work of my poor colleagues while I desperately dodged and spammed the Blutsauger, and to my utter surprise I destroyed both Demomen without taking much damage. Of course, now I was a lone Medic stuck behind enemy lines. I decided to suicide it and just charge the BLU team's flank in hopes of providing some kind of distraction (in my panic forgetting the likely-to-be-safer underground route). BLU was all clustered at the final corner as expected, and I ran toward them, needles flying. I don't remember whether I scored any kills, but somehow I was able to make it through their entire team back to the last point, where I could finally support my comrades.

My personal CrowningMomentOfAwesome happened in Badwater Basin, the payload map. A soldier, scout, and a heavy were on the cart, and they had just gotten the it to the second checkpoint. I was playing a Pyro on the defending team, with the basic flamethrower. They managed to kill the other two people on my team, while I was off lost back near the first checkpoint. I saw where they were, and climbed up to the top of the building. All this time, probably the best player on our team was watching me, waiting to respawn, and saying 'where are you? Get back to the fight...Oh, I see what you're doing.' I then jumped down from the roof, igniting and killing all three of them within 6 seconds, and taunting afterward, netting myself an achievement. Keep in mind this was about a week after I finally got the game. Some others are more awesome, but I was a total noob when I did this.

As a Medic on Badlands, I crossed paths with a supposedly allied Demoman that pinged my paranoia meter, so I circled around behind him and poked at him with my Ubersaw--and ended up backstabbing a Spy.

Say, you didn't happen to be anywhere near Russia when this happened, did you?

Similarly, this troper was playing Pyro on Operative and spotted an allied Pyro on the other side of the Intel Room, and just because fired my Flare Gun at them, only to end up igniting (and killing!) an enemy Spy. The cursing on the All Talk from said Spy was ''hilarious''.

This troper was just standing around guarding the briefcase while playing as a Pyro. Out of boredom I decided to do the KamehameHadoken taunt and ended up killing a cloaked enemy spy.

As a spy, try backstabbing a rocket jumping Soldier or Demoman ''out of the air''. The setup is very specific, since they need to be near a ledge, but it '''will''' be awesome and you '''will''' hear cursing if All-Talk is on.

This troper's proudest moment remains the time he single-handedly won a Dustbowl game. I was on BLU, last map of Dustbowl, playing as a Pyro. We couldn't get the last control point, so I ran into a building, came out on the ledge to the left of the point, jumped down, and proceeded to cook everyone there. I remember there being a Medic, an Engineer, and his level 1 sentry, but I'm pretty sure there were others there too. I ended up single-handedly taking the point. Not bad, considering I'm not very good at the game.

As a Medic this troper has syringe gunned a Heavy to death.

I was a Soldier in this one. A Pyro had just finished torching the Scout that was going through the lower levels with me on the way to cap their intel. I immediately chased him down and pummeled him to death with my shovel while I was on fire.

2fort, BLU intel room, two Sentries, two Engineers. I show up and proceed to destroy both Sentry guns and their Engineers while only being reduced to half my health. Also Soldier.

Pyro for this one. After being sniped about eight times by this one Sniper, I fired my flare gun at him. I hoped I'd kill him, but what I didn't count on was a teammate of mine being there. He backstabbed the Sniper right after I had ignited him.

Not so much a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for me as it was the guy who did it. I was a Sniper in 2fort's battlements (Yes I frequently play 2fort) and I just happened to get ambushed by this Medic. Medic nails me with his Bonesaw. My freezecam shot shows me flying through the air I come back out to the battlements when I respawn. When I pull up my scope I can see my body laying on ''their'' battlements.

Pure dumb luck. This Pyro managed to barbecue me. By the time the freeze cam comes up, some Demo on my team's decapitated said Pyro. My freezecam was a close-up of the Pyro's severed head nearly filling the screen.

Huntsman duel on 2fort battlements. My crappy aim and complete and utter dumb luck led to me missing the enemy Sniper...but hitting a cloaked Spy and pinning him to the wall. By the crotch.

Two Heavies. One bridge. FingerGun ShowdownAtHighNoon!!! (This troper won)

That taunt is beautiful. I have used it to kill a cloaked spy and have seen it used to take a rocket-jumping soldier out of the air.

Once in the [=2Fort=] sewers I (a Medic) came across a duel between Eyelander-wielding Demomen from each team. The enemy team's Demoman decapitated my ally- in response I simply pumped the enemy Demoman full of syringes for the kill.

Shortly after the game came out, so it was still all the default maps. I joined a game on Granary, where the opposing team had six engineers and was controlling the map by advancing sentries. I picked Spy and cloaked and ran to where the engineers were building all their sentries and dispensers and snuck up behind one of them and backstabbed him, then ran to the sentry and dispenser he had built and blew them up and re-cloaked. When he respawned, he came running back to the same spot, where I waited until he had built his gear again, then backstabbed and destroyed his equipment again, then disguised myself as an engineer. I ran towards one of the other engineers who thought I was his teammate, backstabbed him and destroyed his equipment. I proceeded to do the same thing to the remaining engineers and their equipment ''before any of them had time to respawn.'' Because they had distributed their buildings for maximum coverage, they weren't easily visible to each other, so they couldn't see me disguise myself. ''Not one of them'' had time to catch on that I was a disguised spy and not their teammate running to help them defend against me. When they respawned, they all ran back and started rebuilding their gear in the same places, whereupon I ''did exactly the same thing.'' Right after that, ''the entire opposing'' team RageQuit and we won the match.

This Troper was a lone Pyro guarding the intelligence on ctf_turbine. A Soldier/Demo/Medic combo barges in and I'm caught in the long hallway. The Soldier fires a critical rocket at me, and I reflect it for a triple kill and an achievement. Never laughed so hard in all my [=TF2=] days. I have also collaborated with a friendly Spy over Ventrilo to break a Sentry deadlock. He quickly sapped a bunch of sentries and I ran in and torched the place. A Heavy popped out of respawn, and I managed to circle-strafe him to death. One teammate commented: "Who says Spies are useless?".

This troper once turned an EpicFail into an Epic Win when, as a Soldier, she accidentally hit taunt with the Equalizer equipped, blowing herself up. The Epic Win was that I took a disguised Spy with me.

Once as a Spy, this troper sapped an enemy sentry, only for an Engineer and Pyro to come out of hiding. The sapper was smashed, but apparently my acting was good enough that they didn't even think I was the culprit. Even the Pyro.

As a Sniper, I got a headshot on a Scout while being hit with some heavy lag.

I was in a Sniper duel on 2fort, and eventually got dominated by the other guy. I couldn't beat him, so I thought "Screw this" and switched to a Spy. I snuck behind enemy lines up to their battlements and backstabbed him and two other Snipers in quick succession. The third one I dominated.

While playing Arena_Watchtower, this troper once scored the round-winning kill by jumping from a height of 40 feet and getting a backstab on a Pyro who was spraying flames straight up in the air. Why did he preform such a risky maneuver? The Pyro insulted Texas.

So we shouldn't say anything bad about dumb ol' Texas?

After grinding and getting the second Soldier Milestone, This Troper obtained the Direct Hit. The very ''first'' shot with it, I killed a Pyro.

It must've been over a year ago, but This Troper fondly remembers the day he pulled off a textbook Spy-Cap. Cloak past the battle over the first point, then patiently wait on the second point disguised as a Pyro. A Demo comes by and falls for my disguise, hanging out with me on the point. As soon as the first point is captured, I stab the Demo, and knife taunt on the point, winning the match.

My own personal DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck was the time I was a Spy on 2fort. I carefully selected a disguise, cloaked, then leapt from the battlements, aiming for the water- and ran face-first into an enemy Scout in mid-air, and fell straight down to a rampaging enemy Pyro. #QUOTE#'''Some Guy on the Server:''' "That was just bad luck."

This troper will occasionally organize his entire team to do something incredibly silly, while the other side plays serious. Typically it works out better in the end for us. But my favorite ever had to be on Convoy V1(a custom map), I got the whole of RED to go medic, and form a medic train(one medic heals the medic in front of them in a long conga line). We marched our way over to the enemies intel, then split into three teams, each taking one entrance. On the count of three we rushed in, syringe guns blazing. Unbeknownst to us, the entire BLU team had gone engy and were camping in the intel, and the fight on the inside was absolutely massive. In the end, 8 of our 16 medics survived, with all the engies and level three sentries destroyed. The enemy never recovered, and we capped three times for the win. It was truly an epic day.

This troper's best moment: I was on 2-Fort (playing red) helping sheppard a sentry as a backblast pyro. The sentry was located just inside the "Foyer" (the "room" to the right, opposite the entrance of the sewers and underneath the "hayloft" as you enter a base). The opposing team had already built a minibase in the sewers and were coming out of it in force (a medic, some scouts and pyros two demomen and a couple of soldiers). At that moment a spy appeared from nowhere and sapped our sentry, then at the same time the Blu's medic (who luckily had a kritzkreig, not a proper uber) ubered and their demoman let off a volly of crit grenades, followed by his collegue. This, of course, left me standing in front of a sapped sentry with 8 instant gibs staring me in the face, so I did what any sensible (or as sensible as one would consider one) pyro would do, and deflected them. The blus chose that moment to move forward and at the same time the medic used his waining kritz to uber a soldier. One second passed and he fired, as did the other soldier. I deflected the crocket, sending it flying back into the sewers and taking out the medic and second soldier, while the rest of the force charged right into my freshly deflected grenades. The end result; I killed almost 2/3 of the blu team with deflects, earned two dominations (from previous kills), the engineer was able to save his sentry and the ubered soldier (who had some overheal that allowed him to survive the splash damage from the crit-grenades) earned the "backdraft dodger" achievement when I undermined this all by trying to W+M1 him (having already taken damage from the second soldier's rocket, which I obviously didn't deflect) as he ran back into the sewers (he died from the flames shortly after, this was before the days of "The Equalizer", mind you). The spy who first sapped the sentry made it to the water and lived to cloak another round.

A Crowning Moment of MagnificentBastard for This Troper was when he was playing, of all classes he never plays as, Scout, on 2Fort. Me and another Scout had snuck inside the RED base through all the fighting outside, and got into the basement that holds the intelligence. He reached the Intelligence Room before I did, but just as I was ready to go in, I heard a flamethrower blasting in, and the hectic cries of the Scout I had been following screaming "FOYAH FOYAH FOYAH!!!". So, I stopped, peaked a look around the corner, and noticed it was a Pyro accompanied by a Medic. My first plan was to wait until they left the room, or I got reinforcements. But, the Pyro started fooling around, unaware that I was just outside the room, and started spraying fire carelessly for a minute... until he ran out of ammo for it. Then, I ran in, bat in hand, and smacked the living shit out of the munition-less Pyro. I think the Medic was too panicked to act, because at first he shot me with syringes, but then accidentally taunted me... and I used the chance to smack his face with my baseball bat. At first, I considered taunting them, but given I would've lost precious seconds if I did, I just picked the Intelligence, and ran the fuck back to our base, only running into one enemy whom I avoided, and I delivered the Intelligence to our team. THIS is the proof the BLU Scout is the son of the RED Spy.

This troper, while playing as a demoman on 2fort, fired a stickybomb onto one of the wooden ramps that lead to the entrance, which I used for a stickybomb jump to get up to the top. At the same time as I jumped, a soldier came out, and completely by accident, I killed him with the explosion damage. Later in the game, I saw this pyro who looked kind of suspicious, and i expected he might be a spy, so I fired a grenade at him, and it turned out he wasn't a spy, and the grenade passed harmlessly through him, the guy behind him (who was also the soldier before) however, ''was'' a spy, and the same grenade killed him. Even later, I was in the respawn point (the one on the far right of the map), and out of boredom launched a grenade in no general direction. It went down the left corridor and down the hole at the end, where it killed a guy who had our intelligence. It was the same guy. I had dominated someone completely by accident.

Was his name Agrajag?

This troper has two moments of awsome to speak of on the Xbox 360 version of [=TF2=]. First was a short, simple little incident on 2fort. I was a Sniper and i saw an Engie run out and jump off the battlements as i was standing around in scope. I tried to shoot him, but i missied the headshot and instead killed the FULLY CLOAKED SPY that was, quite literally, right behind him. The other moment was while i was on Defense on Gravel Pit. I was playing a Pyro and was defending point B. I died, then marched back out to B, meeting a team mate in the process to assist me, and got killed again while getting a kill from the grave due to fire damage. Third time heading back to B, halfway there the enemy team started capping. normally i'd have given up and retreated to defend point C, but i was in a bad mood so i charged out to B and entered from the side farthest from my spawn. I snuck up on about 6 guys, a Medic, a Heavy, and a Soldier mixed among them as best as i can remember, and i blazed a trail of fire through the entire bunch of them in a few seconds and cleared the entire point by myself. I called it the "Miracle of Point B".

I am normally ''the'' worst Demoman ever, and one day, playing Demo for shits 'n' gigs in a 4-a-side server, the enemies had 3 Engies and a Medic, in the 2fort basement. I managed to set out my 8 stickies, that they took out all 3 engies, 2 of the sentries, severely damaging the other one and I fired 2 stickies (one crit) at the wall nearest to me and ran. The Medic was very surprised to be insta-gibbed, and the Ubercharged Heavy-Medic pair on my team were disappointed that I had left so little for them. The Sniper also thought it was awesome that all of the enemies died at once, asking how the f* ck Plumbum 09 (my Gamertag) did that.

This Troper's admitted bad "best moments" (he's a newb, give him a break) include the time he got lost as a Pyro in Egypt, which he had never played before then, and ending up behind enemy lines, on their ''completely undefended point.'' He won the game for RED. Another time, his twitchy alt-fire finger finally failed to screw him and his patient over as a Medic, as he ubered a Pyro which proceeded to completely destroy three sentries guarding the enemy's point. Also, there was the time when he scored twenty headshots in a row as a Sniper before realizing he was playing against bots.

Somehow, while playing 2Fort, each team somehow managed to get their ENTIRE team into each other's base. Except for This Troper, who was left out of the loop. He was patrolling the base as a Pyro, when suddenly, the largest group of enemies he's EVER seen in the game charges around the corner. He fled up to the battlements and waited for them to come to him, at which point he jumped off and ignited them all, killing the medic immediately. Without the medic, everyone proceeded to die of fire.

Except the Heavy. This Troper respawned and tried to go back to that area to see if anyone was still alive, only to hear the sound of a Heavy nomming away. Rounding a corner, lo and behold a Heavy with a Sandvich. He tried to burn him to death, but failed to do anything but get some hilarious comments ("OH MY GOD, HE'S MELTING ME!). Pretending to give up, he went back around the corner and waited for him to come back out. Said Heavy proceeded to die of shotgun to the face.

One day, he was practicing with the Demoman, one of his worst classes, in Badlands. He laid some stickies on the ground in front of the last point, when suddenly another Demo comes rushing around the corner, brandishing a Half-Zaitoichi. He Targe Charged straight at the point, when This Troper detonated his bombs. The other Demo flew straight forward, hit the wall behind the point flat on his back upside-down, then slid onto his head like something out of a cartoon. The server demanded to know why This Troper and his Engie buddy were laughing so damn hard.

Once, I was playing Demoman on Xbox 360 2fort, and I met an enemy Demoman. We both layed four stickybombs on the bridge, and lobbed grenades at each other. I won by detonating my stickys, sending his into the water and charging at him with grenades flying, bottling him when I got in range

This troper experienced his own Spy crowning moment of awesome and a dethroning moment of suck in the same round. I was playing Arena on Lumberyard doing rather well, very rare when I play arena. Anyway, the opposing team had killed all but two of us, myself and a scout. Our dead teammates informed us of a sentry nest where an engineer and soldier were camping. The scout tried to pick off the sentry from a distance, becoming a red, chunky mist in the process. I made a mad dash towards the sentries, disguised as another engineer. I sapped the sentry, backstabbed the soldier and used the Ambassador to finish off the engineer. The last member on their team, a Sniper, was still hanging by the log that crosses the canyon. I figured this would be an easy battle, so I snuck up on him with the cloak and dagger. In my over confidence however, he noticed me and we got into a melee duel. He jarated me, and then critted me, sending me sending me into what he called "a piss covered fall into an abyss, that's the death all spies deserve." A crowning moment of awesome for him for sure. Me? Not my greatest moment.

With the release of the ''SamAndMax'' hats one mod on this troper's usual server, who, for the most part is fairly quiet and calm, got the bunny hat and proceeded to go on a rampage as a Soldier, cackling "bunny bunny bunny!" into his mic and laughing hysterically the whole time. With anyone else it would have been irritating and made me mute him, but the fact that it was ''him'' made it hysterically funny to the point that I got blown up multiple times by him due to laughing too hard to dodge, and we wondered if he'd honestly gone insane. (He didn't... we think)

This troper also saw a team of mostly Scouts with Bunny hats sweep a payload level. Why? Because the Bunny hats make you go fasta.

I was once on BLU in 2fort, when RED managed to build a minibase... in our intelligence room, which stalled the game for a good half hour. By the time they were gone, they were up 2-0. A full hour later... BLU won 3-2.

This was on the Xbox 360 version of [=TF2=], but I now own the PC version, so hopefully I'll get another moment like this. I was playing as a Demoman in a round where we were getting shoved back into our base. Two Engineers had managed to get into an outside corner of our fort and build their dispensers and level 3 sentries. They were joined by a Medic/Heavy pair, who seemed practically invincible because the Heavy was covered by the Medic and both dispensers. Walking past the sheet metal wall on the top of the battlements would result in nearly instant death. So I'm sitting behind the sheet metal wall, trying to figure out a solution, when I realize there's no roof over the sheet metal. So I take a moment to get a good angle, fire nearly straight up, and set all 8 of my stickies just in front of the wall. Then I back off and hit LT, hoping that I got the shots right. I hear my Demo yell "Kablooie!" as the damage toll hits - I killed both sentries, both dispensers, one teleporter exit, one Engineer, and the Medic/Heavy pair with one detonation. Cue shouting and high-fiving with my brother.

This troper recently had two great 2fort moments. One was playing as Medic on a team which just lost the round- Got hit by a rocket, was blown ''across the water'' to my team's base and ended up surviving the humiliation. The second was as Engineer in a different server, in which I built up a base in the enemy sewers and managed to keep everything up through about three uber attacks, racking up 11 sentry kills before finally getting killed.

Another recent moment from this same troper: Defending the intelligence on Doublecross with the Heavy's tauntkill.

This Troper was Defending as Soldier on Dustbowl Stage 3 on the 360 version (Don't worry, I now own the updated PC version), where BLU managed to cap the first point fairly quickly and were pushing hard for the second. What did This Troper do? He got a Medic, charged straight on to the offensive, and managed to hold BLU back at their first exit gate Twice over. I shit you not. I got 15 kills in one life, a little over twice as many players on that team.I got Ubered about 3 times in that rampage against the BLU pansies. But then I got a little cocky. Sure I held THE ENTIRE ENEMY TEAM BACK MORE THAN TWICE OVER, but then I decided to rocket jump to get some aerial attacks done. This of course exposed my medic whom promptly got the shit beat out of him by a Pyro and Demoman. What did I do? I tried to retreat, but the maggots finally got some balls and charged ME during my retreat. I'm gibbed, but I held them off long enough for them to be unable to cap the point in time. Now if only This Troper hadn't turned off his 360 before it could save that record to my stats... Now I have no proof as to how badass I was with a blob of pixels that call things of a different color maggots.

And to add on to my [=CMOAs=]. I was a spy disguised as a pyro on Defense on Egypt Stage 3. I headed into a mini-base with an engineer, his toys, and a medic. Medic starts healing what he thinks is a hurt Pyro. I say Thanks with voice commands for good measure. Then I sap the engineers sentry, back stab him, and get in a melee fight with the medic. I ended up dieing getting the Constructus Interuptus, Insurance Fraud, Sapsucker, and Spy Milestone 1 along with a 2nd Ambassador which will eventually become scrap metal, in one life.

I don't usually care about hats, but the day as an Engineer I got a RandomlyDrops... Engineer's Cap was a very happy day since it's my most played class.

On the other end of the spectrum, a guy on my usual server almost RageQuit and ''uninstalled'' [=TF2=] ''entirely'' when he crafted a couple hats together... and got a camera beard. We now say that Valve might as well have just given him the Trollface when that happened.

On the same end of the spectrum, my first hat craft? Why none other than the Triboniophorus Tyrannus.

This troper is a terrible sniper, but tried it anyway. Staring down the scope at the enemy base, I noticed very little resistance on the top flo- IS THAT HEAVY DOING THE TAU- *dead* I then went back to spy/pyro-ing.

I was playing on 2fort like I always do. I was a Demoman and my friend was a Medic. We were in the enemy base in a winning game and the enemies were about to capture the intelligence. I place 8 stickies at the end of a hallway outside. My friend yells "Bring the Thunder!" and ubers me. Without realizing it, I detonate all eight of the stickies that I'm standing in. I kill 3 people and the man holding the intel while flying into the sky at the speed of sound. Me and my friend live through the incident and laugh the rest of the game.

Imagine you'r a Soldier. You're charging out of spawn at the start of a round on Arena_Offblast. You've also got a Medic ramming his medigun firmly into your back and a Heavy bringing up the rear. Then some nutjob Pyro speeds around the ledge between the cliff and the shed and jumps at you. You fire a rocket at his feet when he lands, only for him to jump over it and get propelled over you by the explosion, dousing you, the Medic and the Heavy in the process. That Pyro was me, and I then proceeded to get shredded to giblets, and I wouldn't have gone out any other way.

I was playing 2fort as medic and, I'll admit, was a bit early on the uber. Me and my Heavy got separated, but unlike him, I was still invulnerable. The Sentry the other team had up was positioned '''just''' right to send me flying into their intel room. Two dead Scouts and a dead Pyro later, this troper had the intel. I '''did''' get blown up on my way out, but I left several members of the opposing team wondering over the voice chat 'How the f** k did he get in there?'.

This troper once did something very lol worthy, he lost the mach and procieded to heavy taunt a soldier comes dashing in equalizer brandashed and my finger gun SHOT HIM IN THE LEG AND HE PROCIDED TO FRONT FLIP. I love team fortress.

Same troper, this time i was playing as a spy on CP_warpath2. This troper backstabbed a soldier and netted a revenge this troper then turned around and saw another soldier running away with the Equalizer. This troper than got out his revolver and shot him netting another revenge.Thing is this troper has a comp than can barely run tf2 and its best settings and can almost hit the broadside of a heavy. so its a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for me.

I was playing as Pyro, my favourite class, on a custom map with a tower in the middle (Cl_Orange_TX, or something like that). I was at the top of the tower, defending the point, when an enemy Heavy came...I burnt him a little, but seeing I had no chance, I used my propelling-attack (well, don't know it's name in english^^') to send him out of the tower...And THEN, I jumped after him, and Axetinguished him to death in mid-air.

On Goldrush stage 2, there were 3 Engineer setups, all in the best spaces. A Quick-Fix Medic had built up his charge, and ubered a heavy...who was almost instantly headshot. In desperation he Ubercharged me, whereupon I pulled out my Homewrecker and destroyed 2 full setups in 5 swings and killed both the Engineers before destroying the third while still being healed. #QUOTE#'''Opposing Engineer''': Okay, I'm gonna use the Homewrecker from now on.

Compressed Air Blast? Also, I was once pyro on 2Fort, set a guy on fire, and just as he jumped into the river I pulled out my shotgun and blasted him out of the air.

One lone scout. Two heavies and a soldier with the direct hit defending the cap. I run in, leaping about like an insane chihuahua on amphetamines, blasting my scattergun indiscriminately. Out of sheer luck and insanity, I not only took all three down, but capped the point too. Those $400 bullets ain't so good when they can't hit nothin!

On 2Fort, I was a RED pyro. I jumped in the water to defend the intelligence, and got the defence in the BLU sewer, right at the edge of the water. A RED scout (probably the same guy) came back, picked up the intelligence and started towards the water, while I was holding the flamethrower. I fired as a reflex, and by sheer force of luck I got crits and killed him instantly. After that a BLU heavy showed up from the fort direction, and me and a RED soldier who had showed up in the meantime... both died. But the heavy missed the intelligence by less than half a second. Yeah, I was swiss cheese at the time, but I still felt awesome.

I was at my friend's house and she had just started playing. I managed to get 27 headshots in one life on 2Fort, to this day I just wish it could have been in my stats, not hers

I was playing on a dice mod server running Hoodoo and lost all weapons as a spy. I then hid in the corner by the Offensive spawn and then ran out and backstabbed a line of people advancing up. With no disguise or cloak, I backstabbed 10 people.

I was recently on the receiving end of a team-wide CrowningMomentOfAwesome at 2fort. Somehow, with perfectly balanced teams, two demomen, a medic, and an engineer snuck into our base and proceeded to spawn camp us. Then another engie built his sentry outside our battlements, preventing any and all escape. The remaining team members hunted down anyone still alive, the ending result being the entire blue team being locked inside their own span points for the entirety of a thirty minute round. And believe me, they took their sweet time retrieving that intelligence.

Couldn't one of you have gone medic and built up an ubercharge to break out with?

I managed to literally hang an enemy Spy on the wall with an arrow through his head. My dead teammates appreciated the moment I took to look at the poor guy, even though it got me killed. #QUOTE#DEAD* T-Jack:''' "Hello, sir, I brought that Spy you ordered. Where should I put it?" "Just hang it anywhere."

One awesome moment: It's a 2 against 1 [=KotH=] match (Sawmill) and nobody was capping. I was a Sniper, and my partner was a Spah. The only enemy was a Spah. He turned invisible, and mah Spah chased him down. I shot one fully-charged Sniper round just before the enemy Spah got in, and it was a one-shot kill. Note that this Spah was COMPLETELY INVISIBLE.

In HallOfDeath, this troper was Sniper and got the team's first three kills of the match, all of them headshots, and all of them fully charged, with me standing in plain sight. I unlocked the Be Effecient Achievement and netted a Jarate.

This troper was playing on 2 Fort with a friend, and we were both Engineers. We put two level 3 sentries guarding the one entrance that anyone used to the intel room, and the awesome comes in when any idiot Spy that walks in the room gets 4 miniguns to the face. A friend of mine was playing as the Sniper, and had the Huntsman equipped. An enemy Demoman took the time to taunt a friendly corpse, and just when he lifted his crotch flap my friend sent a fully-charged arrow straight to the Demoman's junk. It pinned him to the wall.

This Troper would like to show what happens when people are DistractedByTheSexy.

This troper played on a server that was fairly small, as there were about 5 people on it at the time. When we went to cp_steel, he convinced his teammate to go punching Heavy with him. There were taunt kills, one of which was used on a disguised Spy by him with absolutely perfect timing. Earlier on the same server, he abused the glitch where you taunt and cloak at the same time as Spy to net about two tauntkills. He loves alltalk forever now.

Same troper, only now with the story about being a defensive Spy on cp_dustbowl. Kills included were dodging an entire clip of Soldier shotgun to revolver kill, backstabbing a Medic and facestabbing the same Soldier, backstabbing a Sniper to the point where he broke out a razorback, backstabbing a Scout a spit second before he finished gulping down some Bonk!, and backstabbing a fully cloaked Spy. Said soldier used the "slay" command fairly often that match (he was an admin) and I ended with about 89 points. He now loves the Cloak and Dagger.

Low on health and panicking, this troper (a Pyro at the time) was being chased by a Sniper with a readied arrow. It flew straight at me and I hit M2 in a panic. By sheer luck, I not only reflected the arrow perfectly, it was a headshot as well.

Not quite as win a story as anything else on here, but I blame [=TF2=] for my Engineering degree. I do not build sentries, though.

This Troper pulled off the single most hilarious thing possible in [=TF2=]. I was on the Orange N5 server that is basically my [=TF2=] home, and we were having fun with melee only. Me, a Sandvich Heavy, invited a Red Sandvich heavy to the middle tower for a Sandvich feast. The Red Heavy (whom we shall call LB freashmeat107)came up and feasted with me. Al was happy, until I took my fists out while he was eating and Taunt killed him off the Tower. Soon after, I was eating on the BLU Olympic Pedestal like thing when a Soldier (ol LB freshmeat107)came up to me and asked if I was the guy who owned him like that. I use the Voice command to make Heavy give one of his funnier "Yes"es, and he crit-shovels me onto BLU bases' control point. Many lols ensued over Voice and Text chat.

The troper: @/DoctorWorm. The map: plr_pipeline. The enemy cart was near the end of the line, so I had gone Demoman and put all 8 of my stickies on the cart. In comes an ubercharged Pyro, who starts killing all the immediate defenders (there were only 3 or so people near the cart, and one was a Sniper, so he pretty much had control of the area). Acting on instinct, as he passes the cart, I set off my stickies. Of course, he wasn't killed, but he was thrown clear to the other end of the map.

I managed once to chain-stab the '''whole enemy team'''.

One hilarious thing that happened on this troper's server occurred when a Spy tried to sneak past three pyros, but unfortunately for him they not only caught on and lit him on fire, but also backed him into a corner and juggled him in the air with the airblast until he died. It wasn't funny for the Spy, but for everyone else it was hilarious.

shortly after the introduction of the skullcutter, I managed to jump into the middle of a group of 4 enemy players, including a heavy, and decapitated them all.

This troper is a self admitted shitty spy, so one day on 2Fort she attempted to sneak in but round up getting lit on fire by a Pyro in the enemy fort's entrance. While making a break for the water, that same pyro blasted me into the air, and I then got juggled in the air by a Soldier's rockets. The amazing part was that I only died from the fall damage... on my own fort's front steps. The only response I could come up with: #QUOTE#"Well, that didn't work."

As a Spy on Granary, I was running to the front lines cloaked as a team-mate (I was using the Dead Ringer, so my usual strategy is to cloak as one of my team, activate the Dead Ringer, and go Leeroy Jenkins on whoever is closest on the enemy team), when I spotted a Scout running toward me. Since he was moving fairly slow, I deduced he was an enemy Spy, so without even thinking about it, as he ran past me, I turned, instantly backstabbed him, and kept running forwards without even pausing. His reaction (All-talk was on) was even better: #QUOTE#"How the f* ck did he know I was a spy?!"

Final point on Dustbowl, this troper on RED team, BLU team is getting hammered. Suddenly, one of the BLU team members begins to micspam... the first English Pokemon theme. The BLU team immediately began to storm the point, eventually kicking everyone's ass and capping the final point. The song ended right as Humiliation started up. Never before has there been such a golden moment such as that since then. #QUOTE# This troper had a similar effect happen once, only it was someone micspamming Don't Stop Believin' on the last stage of Pipeline. Same results nontheless.

I once infiltrated the enemy base on 2fort as a Spy, and sneaked past the level 3 Sentry gun to a Sniper station, where I recharged my cloak and disguised as a RED Sniper, genericly looking forward as if I were actually camping to snipe the opposing team. I waited a few minutes until I pulled the Sapper and went to the Sentry(Which was set up outside the spawn room) and layed it before sneaking back to the Sniper station. The Engie came back in time to take my Sapper off, but dissapeared, giving me enough time to sap it again. He fixed it once more, but the next time I laid my sapper I finished his Sentry gun and ran back to the Sniper station. I was sure the enemy Engie and Pyro had seen me, but after around 3 minutes I was able to run back to my base with no problems.

This was due to dumb luck more than anything, but I was in once in our base on Well when a group of enemy players consisting of a Heavy, Medic, Soldier and Demoman came in through one of the doors and destroyed the sentry there, and as I was rushing over to get them our team secured the intel, giving me crits. Massive [=PWNage=] followed as all four died pretty much instantly from the crit flames, and even though I died too from a well placed Skullcutter attack I couldn't resist a BondOneLiner in a fake Southern accent: #QUOTE#And stay outta ma base!

Getting three chain headshots in a row. On moving targets. This Troper was a BLU Sniper on Dustbowl, first stage, on offense. I was barely standing out of the ramp on the left side of the spawn, just sweeping for targets while my teammates tried to cap the first point. Then, in quick succession, I sniped and headshot a Soldier, his Medic and a Demoman as they emerged from a doorway near the point.

Also, every time I managed to get a kill by simply reflecting a rocket back at a Soldier. An even more epic moment would come whenever I intercepted a rocket-jumping Soldier mid-flight with the rocket he shot at me. #QUOTE#The best bit? He didn't die, flew straight up to the top of the map, fell back down and died from fall damage.

Another CrowningMomentOfAwesome to add : As a Spy on RED, pl_pipeline, second stage. Rushing to stop the enemy cart, I run to it disguised and find two Heavies and two Soldiers pushing it along. In one quick swoop, I backstab all four of them and run away, cackling evily into voicechat. I do remember some of my teammates noticing that and going : #QUOTE#"Nice job."

The huntsman has beomce this Troper's best friend. Thrice it has served me through sheer coincidence to get me spectacular kills. First off was Headshotting a fully cloaked spy who ran in front of the sniper I was trying to shoot. Second: I had the Huntsman pulled as far back as it could go and just as it was released, a Soldier Rocket-Jumped into my Headshot, Directly in front of me. Finally, A demo was melee slaughtering the other snipers on 2Fort and I heard them yell. I was about to fire my arrow when I turned to see what had happened. My grip on the mouse slipped and I accidently fired the arrow...Straight into the Demo's head.

I remember when I decided I was going to main the huntsman. On a map, cant remember but I think it was a 5-point map, I was throwing arrows into a group of people. I was getting some headshots, when a scout comes up and start beating me with his bat. I was able to Jarate him before he came and was able to no-charge headshot him. The kicker, he was circle strafing me at the time.

This happened to me about 8 months ago, but forever made me believe the regular flamethrower is better than the Backburner: It was Dustbowl Stage 1 defending the second cap. I walk up the stairs to the one-way gate and see a few [=BLUs=] inside, of those a Soldier about to run out and attack. Out of instinct I hit M2 just before the gate opens, with both of us about 2 feet from either side of the gate; a split second later the Soldier is gibbed and I get sent flying off the platform, hurt but miraculously still alive. Turns out the rocket he shot was critical, and my point blank reflect saved my skin and gave me the Hotshot achievement. I'm still amazed of the timing and luck this required to this day.

I was on a server that had been set so it didn't do the post-death zoom-in to your killer. Playing a sniper I managed to get behind the choke points and park myself in a corner off to the side of their spawn point exits, facing back toward my own lines. As they gathered around the bomb to try and move it forward, I would snipe one whenever they moved forward enough so that they'd think it could have been someone in front of them, unless I had to let them move forward so I could run out and grab more ammo and get back into my hide before one of them spawned and saw me. It was nineteen headshots in a row later before someone caught on that they weren't facing a super-sniper in ''front'' of them that they couldn't find, but a quite ordinary sniper ''behind'' them.

This was an old one back in the older [=TF2=] days before unlocks and achievements but going in as an ubered Pyro to clear out a group of Level 3 Enemy Sentries on the 2Fort Bridge was pure awesomeness.

I decide to light a teammate's Huntsman arrow on fire and hit a spy, who promptly jumps in the water a second late and dies.

A comparatively mild moment, but made me laugh my ass off nonetheless. I was a Demoman trying to get a Scout out of the vents on Turbine, and fired off two grenades before the Scout shot and finished me off. I then watch as the Scout stops to reload... and gets blown up by one of the grenades that had rolled right under his feet. WIN.

As a Demoman on 2Fort, I was coming out the entrance and ran right into a Pyro. Retreating into my base, a Scout rushed out of the sewers and into the long hall. As I came into the courtyard, I remembered that I had mined both the ground-level entrances, allowing me to turn both pursuing enemies into goo.

OK, this was truly awesome. Demoknight with sword and shield. red team, 2fort. Trying to attack blu base from within blu sewers with a bunch of other guys. we are totally outnumbered. A kritzkrieg solly is coming my way, while a sniper and a scout are on the sewer stairs. I targe-charge. The rocket hits just in front of me and I go FLLLLLLLLLLLLYING! My Targe slams into the sniper on the steps head-on, killing him. The crowd roars In-Game. at the EXACT SAME MOMENT, my fully critical sword cleanly decapitates the unfortunate scout just below me. Cue everyone their saying, on voice chat, that I was the luckiest sonovabitch in the game, perhaps ever. I respond by killing and taking the heads of the kritzmedic and the no-longer-kritz soldier. Then, respond in voice chat, perfectly deadpan: "Just as planned..." (not really). /Awesome

I used to host a dedicated server for some friends. I called it "Kadorholland Spy Academy and Achievement Bank", due to my tendency to exclusively play Spy on it and the absurd rate at which people on the server would unlock achievements. One time, I coerced some friends in my team's intel room on Turbine into a two-on-one melee duel. I was delightfully amused when my very first attack fatally facestabbed one of the two opponents.

I also once managed to dominate an Arena match as a Medic, causing a teammate to ask if I was a "pro battle medic". Sometimes I surprise myself with how lucky I get at this game.

Me again. I was playing as Sniper on a server run by a Steam group I'm a member of, on ctf_doublecross. Teams were unbalanced in the enemy's favor, and the game warned that teams would be auto-balanced in a few seconds. I head onto the upper bridge and look onto the lower one to see a heavy and medic combo running towards my base. I take aim on the Medic and fire. I kill him in one shot and get an achievement because he had an undeployed Ubercharge. At the exact moment of his death, he's moved over to my team. The best part? Our team had no medics at the time, and he pretty much said I had earned our team one with that shot.

This troper was playing team fortress 2 for the free weekend so i tried out each class i was terrible with all classes except the pyro. so i decided to try him out. the end result was 18 kills and 10 deaths. to this day this troper wish he had brought [=TF2=].

This troper was witness to a game of tennis between a Soldier and Pyro. Compression blast for the win, yo.

This troper isn't that good at Team Fortress 2, but does have some moments that stand out for him.

1: Although this will probably be considered noobish, I got involved in a sniping standoff on 2Fort's battlements and managed to dominate an enemy Sniper (netting the achievement for that and also one for killing 10 enemy Snipers).

2: Also on 2Fort, as a Soldier I gibbed a Spy disguised as me, running into our base.

3: Same map (I do play other maps, honest), I managed to build a Level 3 sentry in the enemy sewers and kill about 4 enemies before it got sapped.

That is all.

Not just for me. But any player who has recieved a community weapon http://www.tf2items.com/lists/community_weapons/ . It's not often that game developers will recognize community contributions.

Going Heavy right after the Engineer Update, I expected to be shot down by a sentry at every turn. Proceed to me single-handedly ROLLING the other team (with the help of the occasional Medic, natch), two or three times. I've never played a round as Heavy that ended so well.

This troper had one with the new engi mini sentry, he was running around in the new payload map upward as his team was desperatly trying to hole the point, i was going to put my mini sentry soemwhere to interfere with enemy advances but the i heard a noise, placing my sentry behind me at an entrace to a large drain i came upon a demoman and 2 medic trying to do the ubersaw-ubercharge combe thing, i shot at them and ran. Cue a demo being killed by my mini sentry due to low helth, me shooting the medics more as the run towards the min sentry and succeed in killing it. What happens next you ask? 2 revenge crits to the face happened.

This troper remembers multiple 1-on-1 deathmatches with friends. for example, me and a bud were dueling, he was a sniper, i was a scout. i try to double-jump onto his battlement, i fail, and i see him scoped in at my base. so what do i do? i get in close and give him some shotgun mouthwash. another one is my epic sniper kill on a scout, who jumped onto the bridge, or would have, had it not been for that shot. it was a bodyshot, but it registered as a crit, and he goes flying INTO the river. then, there was the incident of the 2-on-1 match i jumped into on 2fort. 2 guys playing engineer, and one blind pyro rush later, i go demo and destroy all their little toys. they were so mad, they ragequitted. but my FAVORITE moment by far, is when you set someone on fire, he goes for water, but he dies LITERIALLY one step away from moist relief from his immolation.

This Troper once, as a pyro, went behind enemy lines on Viaduct during a lag spike and took advantage of the the then sentry-less engys with lesser computers than mine by beating them and their despencers to death with the Homewrecker. In that one life I killed 4 engys 2 dispencers and 1 oblivious sniper using only the Homewrecker and helped cap the point after that.

This Troper is generally a modest person to the point of exasperating his friends and family and fully believes that any CrowningMomentOfAwesome I have with most classes are simply a matter of the right man in the right place, not skill. I say these things so that when I say that my switching to medic almost always foreshadows a CrowningMomentOfAwesome either for me, my buddy, or often both you will know this is not just a prideful boast. Pretty much any game I play as medic will have at least a few Crowning Moments Of Awesome including a few of the following: Ubering a Pyro/Heavy/Demoman and wiping out an entire sentry farm, holding off half the enemy team at a chock point unsupported for at least a minute using only the syringe gun, spotting the clever spy who is actually doing a nearly ideal job of blending in using my highly tuned Medisenses then dominating the spy repeatedly and even finding him where he is cloaked in a corner hopping not to be noticed, taking out the sentry farm which has survived everything else we've throw at it using just the syringe gun, or serving as an annoying distraction which eventually causes the other team to leave their base en-masse to teach me a lesson only for them to find that my teammates seize on the opportunity to completely wipe out their base and set up their own teleporters/dispensers/sentries and effectively end the match for good. Additionally my medic is constantly jumping, ducking, spinning around to scan behind him, moving back and forth, backward and forward, partly due to my ADHD and partly due to the fact that this causes me to rarely be caught unaware by sneaky spies or sniped by anyone less than the very best snipers. Due to these things and the fact that my Medic always wears Max's Hat (which is the top half a bunny's head), he is both a literal and non-literal a Bunny Ears Medic. Since I've played medic almost exclusively since the start of beta, and played nearly 100 hours of medic class alone, my medic is basically a walking history of awesome.

This Troper was playing on a PL map (I forget which one) two days before the Engineer update went live on a server that tends to be less than serious. Tired of the usual "melee only" style of gameplay that tends to get used, I suggest "Hey guys, Why don't we have an Engi Hoe Down." Almost instantly, EVERYONE switched to engineer and jumped on the payload. WE all put up dispensers in front of the payload (just something stupid to do) and made a "no sentry" policy as someone actually played hoe down music and we all just spammed the dancing taunt for the entire round. After the payload reached the ened and the teams switched, we all went pyro on someone elses suggestion, the guy playing the music switched to 80's rock, and we proceeded to have a low-gravity, high flying Pyro rock concert. Not so much a CrowningMomentOfAwesome as a Crowning Moment of Funny, but still worth mentioning.

This Troper was playing on pl_2Fort as a Sniper, and was trying to tauntkill a Scout that was trying to tauntkill friendly Sniper. However, another teammate killed the Scout before I could finish my taunt, but a cloaked Spy walked in front of me as the taunt finished and I killed him instead.

In the 2Fort sewers, I found, flamed and Axstinguished three Spies in a row.

Tropers/{{Excel-2010}}. There are few things I love in ''Team Fortress 2'' more than the sound of the Huntsman scoring a hit. Hearing it four times in a row even more so.

This troper has two, both involving Heavy, 1 on the 360 and 1 on the PC.

360: I was on well and for some reason I was monkeying around on the top floor of our base, when a bucnh of people were taking over the first control point, what did I do? Well I jumped down the 2 floors, landed on my knee and started firing my gun, effectively wiping out the team on the cp.

PC Version: I was on arena, and I was the only one left against 8 of them I fought against 2 soldiers who blew me up but I was stil alive, killed both of them, found an enemy spy, and shot him with a shotgun.

Xbox 360 version. I had just been killed by an enemy Pyro. The freezecam was that of him taunting me with the whole "flamethrower-shaking" deal-- Meanwhile, behind him, in that one split-second before his knife kills the poor sod, is a friendly Spy. It was quite magnificent to behold, really.

On Fastlane, as a Scout, I ran up behind an enemy Heavy and killed him with the scattergun and pistol before he even turned around.

Both times that I joined a map with only one person on each team, the single enemy tried to get away with disguising as me.

As a BLU Medic on 2fort, my Soldier patient and I rushed into RED's Intel room with a ubercharge managed to get rid of a sentry...After the uber went off and the soldier died. So naturally I took the intel and RAN THE FUCK into the sewers and guess who was waiting at my team's side of the sewer. THE ENTIRE RED TEAM. Complete with every class. So instead of being smart and let the timer reset, me and my fellow teammates decided to rush the intel, resetting the time while getting it closer to the exit so we can rush through the bridge exit. After a few minutes and many, many dead BLU teammates and a few of them dominated, I, the medic who got it there in the first place got it back and went through the empty RED base and on the bridge with a Sniper as an escort (This was before the class updates). We may have lost the round, but it was hilarious that no one was defending their own base. Now only if All-talk was on the rage would've been epic.

Defending our last CP on Dustbowl. The enemy makes a last push, two übercharged pairs run in and defeat our last Sentries in seconds. The two übercharges fade away, now 4 people are capable of capping. The last CP, as you may know, is capped within a few moments. And then I exploded my stickies and the ragequit began. Ever since I love the Scottish Resistance.

It was a king-of-the-hill match, our team was really close to the victory, and rockets had taken my Soldier down to ''one HP''. I could either flee and heal, or go on an Equalizer rampage. I chose the rampage. I ran around the blue team, whacking four people (including a Pyro) and dominating someone until my team won. Without taking a single blow.

This troper's personal CrowningMomentOfAwesome came while playing a Pyro. By sheer luck I managed to get a headshot on a Huntsman wielding Sniper ''with his own flaming arrow''.

This troper, who primarily plays as Soldier, was defending a control point which ended up being contested by '''three''' Scouts and a Demoman, all of whom began swarming her. Quickly as possible, she whipped out the shovel and proceeded to bash in the brains of all four in a little under a minute. Of course, I didn't do it completely alone. You deserve a medal, Doc!

The other day, on a custom DM (deathmatch) map, the enemy team had secured our top floor (the only thing worth fighting for). As a soldier, with the rocket launcer, buff banner, and equaliser, managed to help destroy three sentries and kill five enemies. By myself. When I was done, I taunted. 'MAGGOTS!'

A CrowningMomentOfFunny. My brother was playing as a spy and decided to annoy this poor Engineer, who was guarding the intel. He kept sapping the guy's sentries/dispensers and then re-cloaking. It was so amusing; the Engie kept shooting at the air trying to find my brother. #QUOTE#'''Enemy Engie:''' THERE'S A **** ING SPY IN HERE! #QUOTE#'''Enemy Engie:''' Wait I think I see him. #QUOTE#'''Brother:''' Wow, you're really paranoid! ;) #QUOTE#'''Enemy Engie:''' Shut up! >:( #QUOTE#'''Enemy Engie:''' I need a freakin' pyro down here! #QUOTE#'''Brother:''' I ain't 'fraid o' no ghosts... #QUOTE#'''Brother's Team mate:''' Who you gonna call? #QUOTE#'''Enemy Engie:''' Ghostbusters!....or Chuck Norris...

I really enjoy playing Pyro, regardless of his balance issues and controversial tactics. I once topped the scoreboard and dominated three players: A Soldier, an Engie and a friggin' ''Heavy'', all thanks to a mix of Flamer/Flare Gun/Axtinguisher. That felt good. Also: Having a 7:1 kill/death ratio at the end of a match despite playing as the class everyone claims can be utterly wasted by any moderately skilled player at any range.

On Sawmill KOTH, the goal is to keep the enemy off the center point while you team holds it. As Pyro, I ran down to the enemy spawn area and hid behind a shack. I then popped some flares at the enemy snipers to distract them from my team. After killing one, another Huntsman user (DemonicSpiders to certain classes) jumped down and let loose an arrow. A lucky twitch-airblast resulted in the reflected arrow getting a headshot kill on a poor Soldier. Then a Scout came, leading to a frantic strafe-fight where I was rapidly shooting flares and puffing with the flamethrower while the Sniper sent arrows at me. None of us managed to score a single hit. The soldier respawned and came back, but was Axtinguished very quickly. The Scout was ignited, the Sniper decided to melee but was killed. The long, awkward fight ended when finally a Heavy rolled out and minigunned me to death. The Scout died from fire on his way back to spawn. We all wen't "...wow" in the chat. :)

The new movable sentries offer many opportunities for [=CMoFs=]. My best one so far was on the first heat of pipeline. The enemy team had built up heavily in their sniper nest above our spawn and their engineers were starting to set up. I was in the process of upgrading a new sentry so I dutifully shlepped it underneath them and upstairs without anyone noticing. I set it up behind them, and 2 snipers, 1 engineer, 1 demoman and 1 soldier all managed to miss its setup noise until it was up to level 2 and already hailing bullets into their backs. It was a close thing but I managed to keep it alive long enough to kill every single one of them. I got an achievement and the distraction won us that heat.

This troper definitely had a personal CrowningMomentOfAwesome. On her second or third time playing Engineer, at ctf_well, and on BLU, she plants a dispenser and sentry at a corner near her base adjacent to the water. After upgrading both to level 3, and getting it, herself, and her dispenser destroyed by a RED soldier, she respawned and planted the whole operation over again, determined. A fellow BLU Engineer put up the same exact setup as this troper's on the other end. Since nobody is killing this troper's brand-new level 3 buildings, she goes and helps upgrade the other BLU Engineer's buildings to level 3. Suddenly, the RED team is utterly unable to pass into our base. At all. This troper sits proudly behind her sentry and both defends the intel and grants the friendly Scouts a free way in to score. 20 sentry kills later, an Ubered Demo destroys her sentry. However, a BLU scout happened to score our winning capture at the same time, so BLU dominated nevertheless.

While on the desert variant of 2Fort, this troper (playing Pyro) ran into the BLU Soldier and Pyro backed up by their Medic. Not wanting a fight, I airblasted them back to escape. The Soldier shot a rocket as I ran and I tried to return it, but ended up gibbing the Pyro instead. This little victory was cut short by me dying shortly after.

Randomizer arena, 2 on my team left and 5 on theirs, spy with bat and minigun, whole enemy team unaware I'm right behind them until I begin gunning them down.

Shortly after the Engineer Update, the entire Red team decided to go Engineer on cp_Well and slowly advanced the sentries up the map with massive pwnage. Someone then began to micspam "Cotton Eyed Joe", so Blu team had to watch their last point get captured by a bunch of Engies in the middle of a hoedown. It was ''hysterical''.

You know that room with the big health pack and the big metal pack in Convoy? There's one on each side, and it's in the tunnel area. Anyhoo, I was a pyro (my favorite class) and I saw through the window that there was a lonely Engineer inside. Easy kill, right? Wrong - I went in to find that there was also a level 2 sentry inside! So, how'd I get out of this mess? I lit up the engy, and kept shooting flames at the sentry while circle-strafing it until it blew up. By this point, the engy was shooting at me and had gotten the health pack, so I lit him up again, airblasted him into a corner, and SMASHED him with the Axtinguisher! Unfortunately, my mic wasn't working, so I couldn't tell my team of this amazing achievement...

This troper just, as a Medic with a Pyro, captured the intel 5 times in a row on ctf_well, only stopping because the pyro quit. Almost all of the entire other team were Scouts.

This Troper was playing a medic on koth_sawmill. We were losing the round, not having even gotten the point for a second. With 45 seconds to go, I figure "what the heck" and go gunning after a chargin targe/eyelander welding demo who was guarding the point. I manage to keep him from killing me for about 20 seconds until the rest of the team shows up and manage to take him on. We then hold the point for 3 minutes until we win the round. Sadly, now that I've mentioned this personal crowning moment of awesome, I probably won't be able to repeat it.

This troper had two Heavy moments at 2Fort. The first one was merely waltzing in and out of the enemy intel and getting a capture, while meeting pretty much no resistance. And the server wasn't exactly barren either. It quickly got a "Holy crap, how did I do that" response from me even though I was pretty new to the game. The second time I've got a Medic and a Soldier helping me to get the intel, which is really close to the enemy entrance, and guarded by a Level 3 and some mean old motherhubbards wanting to tear me superfluous backsides. An Uber and a quick retreat later and this Heavy pulls in the winning capture.

This troper is admittedly a terrible Sniper, playing it for lulz or practice. It all paid off when I got seven headshots in a row the next time I played the class. I've finally earned my Sniper wings.

This troper was just screwing around on a map along with the other 2 players and the admin of the server once and accidentally got involved in a Crowning Moment of Funny. We were playing in the map's pool area where the admin could make 2 Level 3 sentries on a rotating, moving platform appear in the pool. So since three of us were Engies, for the hell of it, we decided to try and survive the sentries until they ran out of ammo. We built some dispensers that we were going to tank until the sentries were done and some teleporters in case we had to bail. The fourth player was a Heavy who just decided to hide behind some crates meanwhile. Just as the admin started up the sentries, the Heavy did the Showdown taunt and inadvertently killed this troper. Everyone started laughing their asses off, except for me, of course, since I wanted to try and survive the carnage, but the doors were blocked. One of the Engies recorded the footage and we're waiting for them to upload it. After the fun was over, the person who was the Heavy switched the Spy and disguised himself as one of my fellow Engies for fun. This troper was still pretty pissed, so he walked over to the one he thought was the former Heavy and promptly used the Kabong! taunt to kill the now Spy. This troper was decided that was the most fun he's ever had on [=TF2=].

This troper was guarding the intel as a Demoman in 2Fort one day. I had laid stickybomb traps on both entrances to the intel room, and was getting bored when a friendly Engineer ran in. Sensing something was wrong, I detonated the stickies, and lo and behold, the Engie was actually an enemy Spy who was blown to bits.

There is an achievement called "Be Efficient", where as a Sniper, you have to get three kills without missing a shot. This Troper took it several steps further. 7 kills, no shots missed, 30 seconds. Drove some people into major suspicion due to there being a hacker on the server about fourty minites beforehand.

This troper once joined a ctf_2fort server as Scout, to find 2 Heavies stood in the spawn, eating Sandviches and calling each other spies. They noticed me and called me a spy. I crouched down next to them and joined in. After a while I changed to a Heavy. By the end of the round (of which we had spent all of it in the spawn), another 2 Heavies had joined us. I left the server afterwards, but then decided to go back in. I eventually found both teams in the enemy courtyard. At least 80% of them were Heavies, eating Sandviches, calling everyone a spy, admiring each others sprays and creating glorious towers of Heavies. Best match ever.

Somehow I got a Cheater's Lament on Sept. 30, 2010. What the nonsense.]] Oh. Turns out it's part of the Mann-conomy update.

This troper is normally terrible with the Pyro's airblast, either mistiming it or forgetting entirely. So I was very surprised when an enemy Soldier leapt out at me on pl_goldrush, I fired the airblast, and killed him with a crocket right in his face (bagging the achievement)!

This Troper managed to get a Crowning Moment of Luck. This was right after the Mann-conomy update came out, and to his intruigement, crates with potentially rare stuff started appearing, but you have to buy the keys to unlock them. Right after buying a Fancy Fedora for himself (so he could look like Trilby), he started taking crate donations and unlocking them, reacting furiously when he got two Gunslingers in a row, much to the servers amusement. After the fifth one, he decided enough was enough, and stopped gambling. But then he got two more crates, and gave into the temptation. He got an Unusual Fancy Fedora, a version of the hat that is obscenely rare and has a special glow effect. Let me just reiterate that. He got an incredibly rare hat, from a crate donation that almost didnt happen, he only just decided to open two more, and got the one hat out of the selection of 73 hats? This troper dubbed it fate, and was crowned the King of Supply Crates due to that day's merriment.

While playing Spy on Turbine, this troper found three Heavies firing on my team, all of their backs turned on me. As the Spy would say, "The outcome was never really in doubt." :)

This troper was attempting to ease into playing Demoman in Dustbowl. Two full rounds [attack and defend = 1 round] and I had gotten dominated by a Soldier. Hadn't killed him once. I pretended to be depressed by sitting in spawn and chugging Scrumpy, and then when I decided to play again- Wait, what? I killed him mercilessly while defending, and finally dominated him back. The kicker is the domination line the Demo chose: #QUOTE#'''Demoman:''' Lotta good that soldier trainin' did ya! ''I'm drunk!''

The same troper also went on an Airblasting rampage as the Pyro in 2Fort. Three Soldiers and a Demoman later, I came upon a Huntsman Sniper. Luckiest airblast ever - I airblasted at EXACTLY THE SAME MOMENT that he fired the arrow. I flinched, and then laughed incredibly hard when I saw the sniper pinned to the wall by the face with his own arrow, and my Airblast kill icon in the corner of the screen.

This Troper was playing Pyro in a Black Mesa Capture the Point session. Both teams were at a stalemate, neither able to hold the points they capped. The Blue teamm had taken back their fourth point, and were holding it fiercely. As he was going back into the fray, my Pyro noticed the air vents that led directly above the point in question. The enemy Heavies and soldiers were all carelessly at the near end of the room - great for avoiding and ambushing the Reds, but not so good when a Pyro's waiting above you. The barbeque was fantastic, and allowed us to get back the point. It didn't earn us the win, but much fun was had reminding the Blues too careless to look up how easily overwhelmed they could get by the right guy in the right place.

Same troper, same server (The Halolz one), very different moment. I was again playing as a Pyro on the Egypt Capture the Point map, and our team had managed to capture one of the two points needed to win. However, the enemy team had built up a very nasty Engy nest on the final point, complete with level three sentry. Our team was getting mercilessly gunned down, but we were preparing for a big push. However, an enemy was in the way, and the pushers couldn't get past him. I was running back to the point when someone in the team told another to destroy the blockage in question. Before the other player could react, I rushed out there, expecting to wound the enemy enough for him to flee. Instead I got ubered by a Medic I hadn't seen in the rushing group, and so rushed in, destroying the sentry and other engineer buildings, forcing the enemy team to flee, and finally destroying the sticky bombs with my own body as the uber ran out. Oh, and did I mention that I had a mod that turned the uber into Bang Shishigami's theme, complete with glowing gold? The end result was a crushing victory, an enemy completely crushed, and the Arsonist achievement. Just goes to show what Bang Install can do to your average guy.

Let me tell you about The 3 Eds T-F-Krew. They are a group of [=TF2=] players who don't take things seriously. Well, on the [=TFKrew=] server, we put all-talk on. Guess what one of the members did. No, seriously, I'll answer that - A member used his mic to play Pokemon Music. I mean the 8-bit awesomeness. He played them for quite a few rounds, including when his team won. I literally laughed into the mic. ...didn't help me win a match, though.

As a member and admin on the [=TFKrew=], I just want to say it's actually very cool seeing us mentioned elsewhere. When we play we try to have as much fun as possible, so feel free to play with us again.

This troper had a similar experience on a Balloon Race server. There was someone who constantly micspammed awesome music, and took requests (Bird Is The Word was played a lot). Every time we won the match, he'd play some absolutely epic victory music. It's the most fun I've had on that game mode for a long time.

I don't like playing Medic, as it is a very stressful, thankless job, but every once in a blue moon I get hooked up with great Medic-buddies that know what they're doing, protects me from Spies, and unleashes death once I finally get that Uber built up. Icing on the cake was when my Medic-buddy and I won the round together. #QUOTE# Medic-buddy (on text chat): Best. Medic. Ever. #QUOTE# Me: *ManlyTears*

This Troper is usually on a server which has some trouble getting people to come on (if you wanna come over add me as THE flying chihuahua, tuesday and friday nights usually)so we melee fight alot. One person likes using the bonesaw beccause of the high crit chance. While having a melee fight he hit someone so hard HE CRASHED HIS COMPUTER.

This Troper was playing on Dustbowl at one point as a Spy (which he is usually terrible at, even now after playing the game for a couple of months). I was on the RED team, the map was cp_dustbowl; my team had allowed BLU to capture the first point of two. On a whim, I disguise as a BLU Medic. (This is usually a bad disguise because the Medic is slightly faster than the Spy, the Medic regains health that a disguised Spy does not, and Medics are usually actively using their Mediguns to heal key players.) Nevertheless, I merged into the crowd of players and did not attract too much attention to myself, surprisingly. Once in range, I backstabbed every single one in the crowd, instantly killing them; I was killed mere moments later, but I bought my team enough time to get a good defense up (I don't remember whether we won or not, however).

This Troper's first time playing [=TF2=], he tried out eight of the classes and sucked pretty much equally. Then in a second game he picked the Pyro while protecting the minecart thing. He then proceeded to burninate most of the opposition, including a Sniper hidden on a cliff. While singing "Living in the Sunlight Loving in the Moonlight"

Okay, this Troper was doing rather lousy on LordKat's Server (I actually got so pissed off I left and came back). So when the map changed, I switched to medic and proceeded to latch on to a pair of heavies and we capture point A and B of the new map within 30 seconds. Let me tell you, after stinking up two games prior, it's quite a compliment when the other team broadcasts over [=AllTalk=] "Someone kill that damn medic!"

I'll admit that I suck at first-person shooters. But Team Fortress 2 is the first one I picked up and continued to play, in part because of some of these reasons:

The very first time I played Sniper, I ended up in an extended long-range duel with two enemy Snipers at once. I got at least four kills before either one of them even hit me. He's since become my second-most-used class.

Racking up 11 points one of the few times I played Heavy (on Nucleus, one of my favorite maps).

Pyro, in general. It's true that you're walking awesome, because although he's the easiest class to play he's also the hardest to play properly. Getting Pyro Milestone 3 via obtaining "OMGWTFBBG" was the day I knew I'd gotten it right (along with various long-distance kills with the Flare Gun, including taking a Heavy out from full health).

I almost never play Spy despite loving the character. However, one day before the update fixing the sentry glitch, we were on 2fort with an enemy Engineer busting out mini-sentries all over the place. I decided to go Spy and sap as much as I could. In one life, I accumulated 15 points (yeah, not too great, but remember this style of game isn't my forte), which is currently my all-time best for one life with any class. I could hypothetically have gotten more if he hadn't crashed the server.

This troper thought he'd seen some epic matches before, but today (10/23/2010) will go down in history, even if the match was only me and some bots versus some other bots...

THE SITUATION: Dustbowl, final CP. 9 versus 9. I'm on defense. The enemy had captured the first 5 CPs in less than 5 minutes. There are ~15 minutes left on the clock.

THE SETUP: I set up a sentry and dispenser to the right of the last point (the right side when facing towards where BLU comes from). I didn't expect them to last long, and was ready to rebuild once they went down, and to hide in the spawn room when the enemy team inevitably swarmed this point just like all the others.

THE AWESOME PART: The sentry went down, but the dispenser lasted in that spot for the rest of the match (which was MORE THAN TEN MINUTES). And the sentry gun I put in that spot after the first one died got FORTY-ONE KILLS before exploding, not to mention nearly as many assists. (Somewhere in there I got the "Built to Last" achievement.) Once it died I went on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge with the Frontier Justice's revenge crits, racking up six or seven kills with my 35 shots (it would have been more, but I didn't want to get too close to the enemy team and risk being mowed down, leaving my Rasputin-esque dispenser totally exposed; plus they were only trickling in one at a time at that point).

Also, at some point, this happened. It's the only time I've dominated the '''entire enemy team''' in an actual honest-to-goodness match. (Note: My Steam name is "Will T." as seen in the picture - I've dropped the "[=PL7764=]" moniker pretty much everywhere except here and maybe two other places.)

THE ENDING: We still lost the match when the enemy team Zerg Rushed the point with half a dozen Soldiers, Pyros, and Demomen all swarming in at once while all our sentries were briefly all destroyed, but we defended until there were only 2 minutes left on the clock. Remember, we started with 15 minutes left. That's right - we lasted ''13 minutes'' keeping them off that one point. I like to think that one little dispenser that was there until the very, very end (it only died after the match ended) had a big part in that. I'm sure the sentry that took out 41 people all on its own (I didn't use the Wrangler with it, but I had it equipped just in case) helped too.

My final score was well over 100 points, approaching 150, with over 100 of them being my own kills. I can't find the screenshot I thought I had of the final score, but the one above was taken not long before the match ended.

Over the last week or two, This Troper's had several awesome moments as Pyro. First, I was on cp_dustbowl, and ran up to the enemy gates. As soon as they opened, I performed the Hadouken taunt. A Scout ran up... and went straight for the point. The cloaked Spy behind him burst into flames and died. Today, I:

Found 2 enemy Soldiers on a Payload match, standing around not doing anything. HADOUKEN. Both went flying off a nearby cliff.

Was on koth_badlands, when an enemy Sniper came around a corner with the Huntsman prepped, literally 3 feet in front of me. I panicked and tried to airblast him. He dropped dead, hit by the arrow he'd shot just a split second before I airblasted him.

Was on the same server as above, and did something very similar with a Level 3 Sentry and its rockets.

This troper was playing as Sniper and ran over to the side of the stage to find a good sniping location. Another sniper was already in a good spot, so I thought I'd hang around there with them. Then I noticed that their name was strangely familiar... I quickly turned round and sniped the enemy spy in the head. That'll teach them to steal my identity!

On frieght, this troper decided to give the Scottish Resistence a try for the first time ever. Our last point was under fire, and a Heavy-Medic was approaching. The Heavy was standing next to about four SR bombs I set, so I detonated them, killing no one and sending the Heavy flying over a train blocking off three fourths of our team from our point. The Heavy captured the point after killink a nearby Medic and Spy. Almost the entire server, including myself, burst out into laughter. One of the admins rage-slayed everyone and quit instead of laughing, since he was on my team.

One time, while playing Capture the Flag on 2Fort, the teams were struck with that most hated standoff: the Engineer Deadlock. Caused by a random glitch in the 360 servers, it forces everyone on both teams to play as an Engineer. Since everyone just ends up building Sentry turrets, the game can almost never end because there are at least three turrets guarding the intel. This particular time, I managed to lead my team into the other base, break through the deadlock by shotgunning the sentries, and win the match for my team after getting killed with the intel twice. Easily my [=CMoA=] as an Engineer.

This troper's aren't that spectacular, but there's more than one, so it evens out.

I was on 2Fort--Engineer. I had set up a typical basement defense (sentry on desk, dispenser in corner, teleporters outside as spy bait), and was ''incredibly'' bored. I had warded off a spy a few times, but hadn't seen him in quite a while. In my boredom, I taunt, and turn the camera to see Engie's little dance better. No sooner than I did this that I see ''the spy uncloaking himself and disguising himself as me''. He waited for my taunt to end, but by then I was onto him, backed off and plugged him full of buckshot.

Another basement defense (may have been the same one, it's been a while) had me wandering the basement, simply waiting for something to happen. I was out at the basement locker room when I hear that the intel was being taken. I calmly assume a spy had sapped my stuff and went to cut him off. I was wrong--it was a ''Pyro''. I FREAK OUT and fire my shotgun. Little did I realize that he had been wounded getting to the intel, and my shotgun kills him in ''one hit''. His corpse then comfortably slumped against the wall, sitting down. I was in ''tears'' with laughter after that.

One of the first times I had played Heavy just so happened to be 2Fort. The opposing team was giving us hell in our sewers, so I went into theirs to give them something else to worry about. I killed an Engie setting up in there, and dug my heels into the dirt. One by one, two Engies kept coming in over and over trying to unseat me. My gun constantly spinning, I simply gunned them down every time, even when they enlisted the help of a Demo and a Soldier to get me out of there. The match ended without me dying ''once''. 19 kills. Booyah.

Me and a chummer of mine cooked up a hilarious strategy for overturtled Hydro matches: We would both play Spy, and cloak into their base (this was the hard part). Then we'd find a comfy spot near the control point, and send one of us up to it, and decloak, defending himself with his revolver. Inevitably dying, I would then wait a bit before doing the same myself. The trick being that, if offset ''just'' right, the continual capturing will eventually build up to a victory. We managed to win ''three matches in a row'' in the span of about five minutes because of this--until the Demoman caught on, that is.

In addition, it seems that every time I play a Medic everyone fawns over how good I am. Where does this come from? The only amazing thing I did was a typical Ubercharge to break a sentry nest and get the second capture on 2Fort (yeah, I ''really'' like 2Fort). Despite this I was given numerous accolades, especially by my ''incredibly'' skilled Heavy buddy, who was so courteous as to ''give me his sandvich when I was low on health''. Screw me, ''this guy'' deserved the compliments. Hats off, chummer.

I've been getting better with Sniper lately, as well. Playing in Sawmill, I found a cozy spot looking into the opposing team's base inside the mill and started headshotting like nobody's business. Though I would usually be killed by a spy or wayward rockets and bullets (I only managed 12 headshots on one life, for instance), I had killed at least three Soldiers, five Heavies, three Medics, a Scout, a Demoman, six Snipers, and TWO, count 'em, TWO CLOAKED SPIES. That was a good day.

Speaking of Sawmill, another time I managed to break a 0-0 stalemate by playing Scout and taking the rooftop shortcut of sorts (by heading to the upper entrance of the mill and double-jumping over the huge fence) and other routes. By the end, I had secured all 20 captures (playing to 20), the other team had 4.

Long before the days of ''Your Eternal Reward'', I was doing some rather successful spying as RED in 2fort. After losing my streak on their battlements, I took to the sewers. I found that the lone BLU heavy in their sewer had become ''two''. I ''did'', however, have the cloak and dagger at this point, and waited behind them to see what I could do about the choke point they'd set up. Not long after I set up, the "new" heavy wandered deeper into their sewer tunnel. Seizing the opportunity, I sneak past the other heavy, uncloak behind the one walking down the hall (as a sniper, if I recall), and backstab him. Evidently, the other heavy didn't hear the kill, so I did what any sensible spy would do-- disguise and come back. I disguised as a heavy-- ''and disguised as the guy I had just slain''. I casually waltzed back, killed the original heavy (who merely saw his friend walk into a hallway ''and come back''), then let my team storm the sewers and grab the intel, winning the game not long after. CrowningMomentOfAwesome for me, and a minor CMOF when I saw Your Eternal Reward make its debut and realized it was what I did in item format.

This Troper once pulled off a very lucky kill as an Engineer on ctf_turbine. The game had just started and I decided to play Engineer for a change. I'd set up a teleporter exit in a place only Scouts, Soldiers and dispenser-jumping Engies could reach (I didn't know the dispenser way at the time, though... I tried jumping and deploying the exit) and I'd rushed off to build the entrance. I start getting impatient and whack the entrance as it's building. It activates whilst I'm on it, and I hear a low gong (thanks to a hit-ding modifier). I check the kill notifications - I manage to telefrag someone, who I could only assume was a Scout. He mentioned just how lucky that kill was, iirc. There's also the time when half the RED team camped a point on cp_fastlane with Snipers, and forced the game into sudden death, melee only. After a minute or so, the teams were down to a handful of [=REDs=] and a BLU Spy with the Cloak & Dagger. The [=REDs=] proceed to cap the centre point whilst searching for the last BLU, leaving the RED point ripe for Spy-capping. Once he's done capping, he trots off to the RED Spawn and caps the final point, whilst everyone on mic- and text-chat are showing their disbelief and laughing their heads off.

I had a rather curious experience in the game. I was playing as a Medic (which I usually do only when nobody else does) and after a while I noticed one Heavy on my team that, simply put, really knew how to take care of his Medic (giving up his Sandvich and all that). At first I thought nothing of it, but when a few rounds later we ended up in an opposite situation (I was a Heavy, he was a Medic), I suggested that we changed classes (because I recognized that he was a much better Heavy than I am). What followed was one of the oddest cases of symbiosis I've ever encountered in a multiplayer FPS game: We paired up, with me healing my partner continuously, only taking as little time as necessary to heal other teammates, and generally staying alive, and my partner (Heavy, later changed to Soldier) skillfully disassembling all threats while protecting me as well as possible. Without any words, we agreed on him taking all ammo boxes and me taking the health kits. When one of us died, the other tried to fall back to regroup. We kicked much ass that night, and I ended up adding a new Steam friend.

Most [=CMoAs=] don't begin with "So I just got headshotted.." But after a particular sniper decides to redecorate the wall with the inside of my skull, I get the zoom-in screenshot of him standing on the ledge, hat over his heart and head bowed.... With two spies, one on either side, with their knives up in the backstab position. I got the screenshot of the tenth-of-a-second before my killer's death, and it looked like a god damn promotional poster. "Join the RED spy patrol now!"

While bow-sniping, I had the unfortunate occurrence of a flare in my face. I countered by Jarateing the offending Pyro (who had his Axstinguisher out) and running at him with my Bushwacka. He wanted to axe me a question, but I gave him a sharp rebuke.

This Tropette plays Medic 99.9% of the time, and she enjoys it most of the time. Except when she's forced into it when she really wants to play Sniper because her dumbass group of friends never want to be one, so she has to do it...well, anyway, as one can guess, this cheeses This Tropette off quite a bit. Already angry, she watched her useless team faff about against FaN Scouts, Backburner Pyros, Demoknights, the whole shebang. It culminated to where she was healing a Heavy who was already fully buffed. He pulled out a Dalokoh's bar. She said "Screw it" and went Battle Medic. With the Blutsauger and Übersaw, she stormed the RED base, arc-sniping stationary Snipers and slow Heavies, sawing any Scout she came across, Übering herself when a Spy attempted to backstab her and watching him get gibbed by BLU's Soldier...It was glorious, and the angry screeching from All-Talk from both sides only made it better. That rampage left her emotionally fulfilled and satisfied for WEEKS, and she even got the Officer's Ushanka out of it!

This Troper joined a map, and saw 16 Heavies VS 16 Heavies... well, let's make that 16 Heavies VS 15 Heavies and 1 Spy. Guess which side won.

Them: Three medics, healing each other and clustered together as they ran up the second floor entrance to the mansion in cp_manor. Me: A sniper holding Jarate and with a Bushwacka at the ready, waiting around the corner. No, I don't know why they didn't have any combat classes with them. No, I don't know why none of them tried to needlegun me down. I just know that at least one of them had an uber ready, and three melee attacks later I had my Jarate Chop achievement, and without any other teammates around to distract them for me.

Just came from the Xbox 360, where I played a medic for a soldier and a demoman on Dustbowl, And we wiped the floor all through the three stages. Notable that they were quite courteous over the comms.

I was playing as a scout in turbine,a heavy was dominating me,and I didn´t capture any inteligence yet,when suddenly,right after respawning a guy entered the room and started micspaming the song ``Amazing horse´´in a loop. So as most people was being pissed off and fighting I sneaked onto the inteligence room at the speed of well....A scout,picked up the inteligence and escaped to my base followed by me doing the shotgun taunt.I repeated the process another time as the song continued,but the third time,the heavy who dominated me before appeared was in front of the inteligence,we fought in a one on one battle wich I won by dodging his bullets and beating him up with the sandman,then I picked up the inteligence and escaped again to my base,then I got the ``triple steal´´ achievement and said goodbye to everyone on the server as I did the bat taunt(No relation with batman)

This Troper once decided to not take a 3 on 3 match of Badwater Basin seriously, and decided to just go around trying to get kills with just Powerjack and refusing to cap unless the cart was two inches away from the point. I ended up in second place on the scoreboard. One encounter ended with me killing all three opponents in quick succession, sneaking up on a Sniper, confronting a Heavy, and smacking a Scout out of the air.

So I actually have 3 [=CMoAs=] to myself on the PS3 version, each as a Sniper on 2Fort. The first time, I had managed to get 5 headshots with in 6-7 seconds all together, even warranting a shocked "Oh god..." from one of my teammates. The second was what I call my Sudden Death Massacre. It was my BLU team of 8 vs. their RED team of 8, and I managed to snipe maybe 5 people storming our base, save for a Spy and a Pyro, whom I both melee'd to death (although if it wasn't for the Engie with me nearby, that Pyro would've toasted my ass for sure, and I barely survived that fight with him). They have one remaining person left on their team, we've only suffered 2 losses. Their last guy? Quits, winning it for us. My last one actually wound up being based on a Batman Gambit. I see one of our Engies getting in a melee scuffle with a Spy on the bridge, but they're moving around so much I just can NOT get a clear shot. The Spy then seems to say "screw it", and he hits his cloak and leaves. I start aiming over next to the door into their base opposite me, and taking into account how long it would take the Spy to reach it based on just trying to picture how fast they run in my head, and try to time my shot perfectly, and I'm also fully aware that he could just as easily use the other door. Then, I pull the trigger, and behold the sight of a Spy dropping stone cold dead. Would've been cooler if it was a headshot, though.

This troper once played on the BLU team as a spy in the last stage of the Dustbowl map. As the timer was counting down, the first capture point was captured, but halted by an onslaught of [=REDs=]. The troper decided to just run past the fight, hurry to the last control point, and capture it. The RED team was surprised, the BLU team was confused, and all I had to say was "That's how spys work irl." while chuckling.

My personal DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck was when I was running up behind a enemy Soldier to hit him with my Equalizer, and, without noticing me, he rocket-jumped up to a platform and the blast damage killed me.

This Troper was playing as a pyro, and there was a spy on the opposing team that kept taunting me over the voice chat, just being kind of a dick. After three respawns of this, I whipped around and set him on fire (while he was cloaked), while he was in the middle of taunting me. He left me alone after that.

I'm admittedly a huge noob, since I only got this game recently, but I do have one moment I still find funny. I was playing 2fort on arena mode as a spy. I did my usual failspy routine, going through the sewers, camping on the other team's battlements, ect. However, I ended up surviving, with only me and an enemy soldier left. Cue the lols. He ran around my base trying to find me, while I just sort of sat under the bridge and waited for him. His teammates were even telling him where I was, but whenever they did I'd just move to a new spot. We eventually took so long that the admin killed us both so everyone else could play. He never found me.

Like the above user, I'm fairly bad, but here's some of the highlights of my first ever online match.

I killed three people as a Sniper. In the sewers.

Won a sniper war against a US player (I was playing in Cambodia on a wireless network).

Snuck in the enemy sewers as a Scout, stole their intel, ran back across the bridge roof (''in front of a level 3 sentry'' on their battlements, and the usual array of useless Snipers) and scored without firing a shot. ''Twice''.

Without trying, I once got two somewhat-difficult achievements in the same life. I decided to play Spy, then cloaked myself and headed to the enemy base. A Sniper was camping at one of the entrances, so I waited until he moved into the right spot, and BOOM BACKSTAB. Quickly cloaking again, I made my way up to the battlements, and there was another Sniper, scope zoomed, so naturally BOOM BACKSTAB #2. Cloaked again, sneaked over to the other end of the battlements, and soon enough a ''third'' Sniper walked out of the door. I waited until he was zoomed in, and BOOM BACKSTAB #3. That wonderful sound played as I realized I just got the "Triplecrossed" achievement, but wait! There's another one?! I got a second achievement from that stab- "High Value Target," since apparently that third Sniper was dominating several of my teammates. Even better, I still got two more backstabs in that life, one of my best plays as Spy. I can only imagine that I was channeling the RED Spy in "Meet the Spy."

This troper, while playing as a spy, found another spy with the same name as him. I chased him, lead him to water, and had an underwater knife fight.

Me again. I recently was playing on 2fort arena mode - I go there a lot - as a Scout, my main class. I made my way through the sewers and up into the RED courtyard, unaware that my entire team had died. It was me, a noob Scout, up against two Spies, one Pyro, a Soldier, and a Medic. So what do I do? I kill the two Spies with my Force-a-Nature at point-blank range, run across the battlements, kill the Pyro and his Medic, and then proceed to run out the door and get killed by the Soldier who was waiting for me. I wish I could have seen by dead teammate's comments, because after I died, some person commented: "Wow, he was pwning." Sure, I died, but for a noob like me, taking out four of five is pretty damn good.

A personal fail moment of mine was also as a Scout, on 2fort in capture the flag mode. So they had a pretty solid defense in the courtyard, with a sentry on the stairs leading down to the basement, another near their spawn, and a Demoman standing guard. I already had died trying to take it out, so I decided to try something new. I ran across the bridge roof and double jumped onto their battlements, drank a can of Bonk to protect myself, then ran for the ramp-staircase-thing that leads to the basement. The Engies had put a dispenser in front of the door. Not only was I trapped and unable to do anything, the Demo set off his stickies which sent me flying, the sentry juggled me around with bullets and rockets, and the Engie chased me around with his wrench. As soon as the Bonk wore off I burst into gooey red bits. The people on the RED team regarded it as a "funny and epic fail."

While playing as Christian Brutal Sniper in a Saxton hale match, this troper managed to get stuck in a corner of the map with four pyros airblasting me into the air. (I figured out the taunt scared people soon after and competence ensued). But the last man standing was a spy, who kept popping up behind me and cloaking, while I searched blindly for him. The other players were going "Warmer...warmer...no now you're cold." I did eventually win, thankfully, and lulz were had.

SPY SENTRY IN MAH TROPES?

I found myself behind enemy lines, disguised, and facing the rears of two Heavies, three medics, a soldier, a demoman and an engineer. It took me ten seconds to rack up seven backstabs and two saps, and thirty seconds more for my team to secure victory. That's when I finally realized that I was always meant to be a spy--and it was glorious.

This troper had a great day as Engi. Playing Mann Manor, I had set up a Dispenser on a ledge near the first control point (I was defending). After is way captured, I built a Sentry. The Dispenser was level 3, having a full metal supply. I successfully built a Level 3 Sentry on the other side of the ledge, near the second point. Here's the thing; every time the other team destroyed the Sentry, I already had enough metal to build a new one. It was a massacre, even with 10 minutes on their clock, the other team never managed to cap the point, and that 15 point run stands proudly among my Engi record.

Not sure if it's the right place, since it's mainly a ''BaseBreaker''/''FanDumb''/Heartwarming tale from the game, but here goes: Wiki Cap. This troper is one of the few that owns one. If you don't know, said hat sparkled a big flame wars on the Steam Forums. Unlike the Pins and Propaganda hats, the base considers the hat as an item that's earned by sucking up to the higher ups instead of hard work. It probably has to do with the fact that taking care of a wiki is less work than let's say, making items for the game or doing art, in their point of view. Cue the following usually happening in-game: Either get a random trade request with an attempt to haggle for the hat, or people taking note of the hat and make up dumb conspiracies on how to get it. It's very depressing. Today, this troper met a talkative player who noticed the hat. He gifted this troper a Vintage Dalokohs and the following words: "Thank you for you work." This troper was touched.

I was playing as Medic on Arena Mode. My team was rather bad, we kept losing and there were no good people for me to pair up with. Then, one player noticed my plight and went Heavy. We proceeded to kill most of the opposing team without any help. Next round? He waited for me to catch up with him, and then we did the exact same thing. He would give me his Sandvich, and I would keep watch while he attacked for any incoming enemies that he would otherwise not have noticed. Whenever one of us died, we would go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge at whoever killed our buddy. We had such a good run that day, the other team started complaining that Heavy/Medics were overpowered.

Pyros get a bad rep in a lot of circles. Since I play on wifi, I've had to suffer from people saying all I do is W+M1, I'm low skilled (no, my computer is bad, Get it right!), I can't do much, change to other characters, etc. Sometimes, Enough is enough... With a good medic, I was ubered, took down a sentry, Engineer, Soldier, Heavy (reflected the Sentry gun's rockets into him) and Hadokened a Scout who used a teleporter at the wrong time. The people shut up about me being a bad pyro after that.

A cool Moment for my Engineer happened recently. It was the last point on Badwater, with the enemy zooming towards the base like flies. The payload was damn close to the final point...''Nineteen kills'' and twenty-seven points later, my Engie reigns victorious alongside the other [=REDs=]. My newest high score.

This troper was playing on Medieval as a Sniper, and dominated a player with a flaming arrow. The player's displayed name? "The entire population of Canada". This troper dominated Canada.

Let's hope we never see the results of Canada getting revenge.

Yesterday, this troper had a rather interesting series of events happen to him. To wit:

First, I got into a server where they were playing at the keep. Everything seemed to be nice and dandy... until the admin summoned the Horseless Headless Horsemann. Hilarity ensued.

I got into a Control Point server where one could "roll the dice" for random effects. One guy on the opposing team, a Heavy, got a noclip effect. So he stood ''in our spawn'' and killed everyone as soon as they popped up, even managing to avoid Dead Ringer Spies due to the speed he had applied to him. It went like that the rest of the round (how his ammo didn't deplete completely I'll never know).

After that debacle ended, I got to try a Vs. Saxton Hale server for the first time, and got to be Saxton in my second round. I died, but not before taking most of the enemies with me. The next round went nearly forever because the last man alive was a Spy who refused to go out of his cloak, and the Saxton Hale player refused to just capture the point. It finally ended, thankfully.

Next up, switched servers again to King of the Hill on Nucleus. I got assigned RED team automatically, and they weren't doing very well. For the hell of it I went Scout, equipped my Shortstop and Holy Mackerel, and... proceeded to own. Despite being two or three minutes behind, I managed to even it up by single-handedly capping the point, then doing it every time the enemy took it back (sometimes with help, though). Within time we were almost neck-and-neck for time remaining. When the point wasn't being fought over, I ran around, shooting enemies to death and taking out buildings wherever I could find them- and for some reason the dispensers were ''shooting rockets.'' Before long I had the highest score on the team, owing in part to my aim and dodging suddenly being a lot better than normal- at one point I took out two Heavies and a Scout on the point on my own. It was the most fun I ever had as Scout.

Finally, I went into a Payload game, where, despite the numbers displayed, I was the only one there. I went Heavy and decided to get the Pushkin the Cart achievement. Before the game started, I ate a Sandvich. And ate it again... and again... soon I realized that although the Sandvich wasn't depleted, it count as being eaten for the Konspicuous Konsumption achievement. So I stood on top of the cart and ate Sandviches for two rounds, eventually earning that achievement, and the achievement for firing $200,000 worth of rounds in a single life during a point where I got bored of eating, and the achievement I initially set out to earn- along with a Heavy milestone! After that I called it quits for the day, but damn if it wasn't all fun and productive. Except for that cheating Heavy in our spawn.

This troper has two he can remember. One was when I was playing with two buddies of mine, I was healing one while the other was trying to sneak up on us. This Troper, who was a Medic, saw the enemy Heavy, stopped healing my teamate, strolled over, and crit hit him with my Amputator, killing him. The other was when I managed to deflect a crit rocket, miss it's target, and hit a Heavy/Medic duo behind the solider, killing the Medic and leaving the Heavy near death.

I decided to play as Engineer on cp_Granary for a change of pace a few weeks ago. I built my sentry on the catwalk thingy above my team's second control point, set up a dispenser next to it, and built a teleporter to the little hallway with a hole at the end near the center point. My teleporter racked up 73 total teleports before it was destroyed. My sentry killed around 10 people as I stayed near it to keep it protected. I eventually moved it up to the front lines, put it on top of those big shipping things, and laughed in sadistic glee as it scored 25 more kills. I basically won the round that day; it took TWO ubered Heavies to take my little sentry out. That one round earned me 31 points in one life.

Another moment that stands out for me was when I, as a Medic with an Ubersaw, beat an Engineer and a Soldier in a one-on-one melee duel in Arena Mode. Said Soldier had the Equalizer out.

I'm usually a horrible Demoman, but once I somehow managed to dominate three players by setting up the most obvious sticky trap ever repeatedly. It was on 2fort; I'd place a bunch of stickies around the entrance to my team's sewers, wait below for someone to chase me, lead them to my trap, and promptly blow them up. I was laughing my ass off. No one seemed to catch on to what I was doing.

This Troper isn't exactly very good at this game, but IMO he had a few [=CMOAs=]:

As a Soldier on 2Fort, I managed(with help of Equalizer) to get enemy Intelligence and return it back to us. I've had 7 hp left.

As a Sniper on [=DeGroot=] Keep, duel between me and overconfident Demoknight. Okay, I panicked, but I managed to luckily stab-arrow him and get the achievement. On the other hand, he got better in our second duel and managed to FlashStep my incoming arrow and simply cut my head clean off.

As a Scout on Vikings, I managed to get two achievements(No Hitter and Triple Steal) by getting enemy's Intelligence FIVE TIMES IN A ROW and making the score equal. Again however, they got better and simply built a Sentry in our base, in point where Briefcases should be dropped. It wasn't a very likeable experience.

As a Sniper again on [=DoubleCross=] (Which is, hands down, my favourite map) I became ridicoulously paranoid(Though it's maybe because of my sensitive earphones), to this point I managed to actually dominate one Spy with trusty combo "Jarate+Shiv". This jar of urine is actually useful(I used to use SMG as my secondary, but turns out that rushing at Jarate'd Spy with your trusty Kukri is much more efficient. And it looks awesome.)

As much as I love this game, I think I still have a long way to go before I consider myself really good at it, so genuine [=CMOA=]s are pretty rare for me. But the closest I came to one was when I played on Yukon for the first time. I was playing as a Soldier, I was still getting used to the map, and we were slowly losing. At one point, I had just a few health points left, and there was a swarm of [=BLU=]s trying to capture one of our points. I knew I was going to get killed no matter what I did, so I figured I might as well try to go out with a bang; that is, I aimed my Direct Hit at the enemy team and hoped for the best. As it turned out, my shot was very well-timed - it hit the Sniper that killed me, and I got an assist kill with a friendly Soldier, garnering me the Mutually Assured Destruction, Brothers in Harms, ''and'' Soldier Milestone 2 achievements all at once. Feeling more confident in myself, I began racking up more kills, beating my previous kill record as Soldier, and raising my score from near the bottom of the list to the third-best player on the team that round. We still lost, but I honestly didn't mind.

This troper recently had a [=CMOA=] of his own while playing the first Dustbowl CP map. A level 3 sentry gun was up on the point, and our team was gathering around our awesome medic while he built up his uber charge in that little side tunnel. He just finished charging it up and was about to rush in when I went through the door to take out the sentry as a Demoman. The medic thought I was the person he was going to uber, so he went out behind me and ubered me. I shot all 4 of the pill grenades, and (thanks to my horrible aiming skills) only 1 actually hit it. The medic had realized his mistake of ubering the wrong person and went on to uber the soldier. I hadn't noticed. The sentry's engineer wrangled his sentry to start shooting it at me. I didn't have time for silly things like "reloading" so I took out my trusty DEMOPAN and went to town on the sentry. I wedged myself behind it in such a way that the engineer couldn't get a shot, so he unwrangled to let the sentry aim on its own. The sentry never got the chance. I then proceeded to try to demopan everyone else on the point, missing horribly and getting blown up for my troubles.

After this, I said something like "Well I'm down, but I Demopan'd the sentry down." The medic from earlier's response: "I saw that. I'm trying to get over how blown my mind is... You took down a wrangled level 3 sentry with a ''Demopan''."

I was having a rather bad match on pl_badwater against a much better RED team, but I managed to do some awesome thing right before the timer went out. I sticky-jumped from the BLU base to the sign on the building near the first point, killed about three or four people with nades from my vantage point, and then a Pyro standing on the ledge, well out of the flames' normal reach, somehow set me on fire and killed me (not using a Flare Gun). :|

This troper was once playing on Dustbowl and having a rotten round, I just couldn't get into my mojo for ANY CLASS. So after a string of 8 dominations against me I loudly yell "Screw it!" over the mic and pressed the random class button. I was class shifted to a demoman and just as I pulled my grenade launcher out the announcer loudly calls out that our last control point was under attack, in a fit of anger I pull the sticky launcher and rush into the room to see all eight players who were dominating me sitting right on the point which was being locked by several desperate scouts. With a rush I used their distraction to empty 10-12 sitckies on the point, having finished with all but one scout they turn to me and I loudly taunt "KABEWM". They look down and the only thing they said was a faint "Ah...Shit" over the mic before an instant 8 kill and 8 revenges. A true epic moment if one exists.

This troper has two. Once, on 2Fort, the RED team was trapped by the whole of BLU, who had set up an impenetrable offense. Now, this server had a limit on the number of engies per team, so I went engie, and suicide ran off the balcony to count the sentries set up. Most, if not all of them, were outside our front door. Upon respawn, I laid a teleporter, and took to the sewer to infiltrate the BLU base. Happily, everyone on BLU was preoccupied with holding the line, so I met no resistance, and made it to their intel room, and was able to set up a base without being spotted. You can imagine their surprise when someone noticed the large amount of [=REDs=] in their intel room.

This same troper was also on CP_Well as a BLU sniper. Usually, you hear stories of people scoring lucky headshots on cloaked spys. This one was me actively trying to hit a cloaked spy. We had taken the center point, and were working on taking the first RED point. I was one of two snipers watching the doors to take care of anyone who got through. I saw the door on the left (from RED base) open, and noticed a spy cloaking as he exited. Knowing he would be going after me if I didn't kill him, I lined up my crosshairs, mentally calculated where his head would be at a certain moment, and pulled the trigger, hoping that my guess was correct. Cue a headshot spy suddenly appearing as I fired.

A while back, this trouper had one on the Second half of an attack/defend control point map (can't remember which, sadly). The RED team had us completely locked out the last point and slowly were pushing us back in an all out advancing offense. So I switched to scout, a class I am personally only able to troll as, downed my can of BONK! and ran past the enemy team. Before they could react, I had taken their control point, and only one person even slowed me down and I killed him with two pointblank hits from the Force-of-Nature. Once the match ended I got congratulations from my teammates over the mic and chat and our opponents were shouting "WHAT THE HELL! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!"

So I was playing as a Demoman on arena_2fort. I had set up a stickytrap in our sewers, but by the time I was done, the rest of my team had died. Now I was alone, one little Demoman, up against a Sniper, a Medic, and a Pyro. Cue the other team storming down to the sewers, the Pyro instantly getting gibbed by my pipe bombs, the Sniper falling victim to my stickytrap, and the Medic exploding into a shower of gooey red bits as he tried to kill me with his syringe gun. One of my teammates actually called me "pro." I was speechless.

Whenever I manage to get a headshot with the Huntsman I always scream SKILL over the mic to make people rage.

In 2008, this troper had a game on PL_Cave. A custom made Payload map that is no longer on our servers due to bad map design. I was on RED and we were on Stage 3. I was leaving the spawn and I noticed two things: our setup time was now several minutes, and the bomb cart (which I had affectionately dubbed "Fat BLU") ''was moving by itself''. At TOP speed. I shouted over the mic "WHY IS THE BOMBCART MOVING BY ITSELF?!" Alltalk was on so cue a massive WTF from a 24 player server as Fat BLU rolled down the track ''and capped the point '''BY ITSELF'''''. And the best part? I got video of all of it!

March 16, 2011: The glitch happened '''again'''. This time on Hodoo with the dirty bomb at the last stage. Once again this troper got a recording.

Normally I play as Pyro out of habit and it's the only one I'm any good as, but I have some favorites.

Playing on Dustbowl, there were a lot of spies on the red team, or at least a couple which were really good. There was this one scout who was hanging around the spawn but not moving fast enough. So I flamed him until he used his Dead Ringer. That didn't stop me from continuing the flame barrage and killing him. I remember dominating that guy and several other dead-ringer spies. My pyro-motto: CLEANSE the team, PURGE the spy, KILL them all...

Some more Pyro-mania: Playing on Well, I was getting killed repeatedly by these two spies, however their streak of kills came to an unfortunate end when I got wise to them and flamed everyone and everything. Then I went on to cap all of the control points. They also had a sniper who tended to stare at walls. Oh what fun my flare gun had with him...

A recent rampage on Freight. I was a Medic, who on a whim paired up with a Heavy by the username of "._.". Having a nice battle on the middle point, we decided to sneak around underwater, cut down multiple enemies from behind, then went on to capture their second point almost single-handedly. We were eventually cut down on the last point only seconds from capturing by ''three'' Sentry Guns - 15 kills (I got the assists for every one), a capture, and two Ubers later. We then went on to roll their team several times on a row until the map changed, and it was ''glorious''.

This troper, while new to the game, had only 2 kills left until I got the "Hardcore" achievement,and was determined to get his final kill as the spy, my favourite class, so I went an a fastlane server. My 999th kill was an ambassador bodyshot on a burning demoman, nothing special. However, my 1000th kill went like this, a scout saw me and shot me with a force-a-nature twice and in the split second it took him to reload, I headshotted him, that's right, my 1000th kill was an AMBASSADOR HEADSHOT ON A MOVING SCOUT, after that I gave him a good shot of me adjusting my tie.

My personal Crowning Moment of Awesome occured on the Mann Manor map during the Halloween update. As it stood, I was a RED Engineer hanging just outside the door of the two story building by the first point, casually upgrading my Sentry while wondering if I would ever manage to get a Halloween mask. Then, I'm suddenly labeled IT for the Horseless Headless Horsemann. With the imminent threat of decapation looming, and nowhere else to turn, I ran upstairs, desperate to get away from the monstrosity. Sadly, however, a BLU Soldier was waiting for me. Rocket jumped, I imagine. So he fires a rocket at me, and while he misses, the shockwave sends me flying out of the window. As I'm falling, I realize that I've been blasted by a rocket, have only 11 HP left, and that the Horsemann is still on my ass. Death, I reasoned, was the only option. THEN, I saw a BLU Pyro sprinting for a Halloween Present that had just appeared under me. Aiming just right, I landed right on the present just as the Pyro was about to get to it. Apperantly, the player was so shocked that an flying Engie just landed in front of him, that I managed to tag him with my wrench, run away, and watch the Horsemann sever his masked head. So, in the course of ten seconds, I was being chased a deadly monster, blasted out of the window, fell from a two story height, tagged another player, watched him die in a most gruesome manner, and got a Medic mask to boot. I still say to this day that should be an Achievement.

I think every Spy player can agree that killing the entire team pushing the cart in payload with Your Eternal Reward is incredibly awesome. For those who don't know: Your Eternal Reward kills on backstab like the normal knife, but it disguises the Spy using it into his victim immediately without any sound or smoke. It also makes the corpse of your victim vanish almost instantly '''and''' the enemy team doesn't get a notice that somebody got backstabbed. Another thing that amused me greatly was on a server where every character automatically cries out "Spy!" when he bumps into a cloaked or disguised spy. However, that also applies to spies. So, I was playing a RED Spy, walked by a RED Sniper and he cried "Spy!". I was pretty confused, but not as confused as he was when I backstabbed him.

Again, as a Spy on a Mario Kart server (because the map itself is pretty silly, noone plays seriously), I was on BLU and there was a RED Demoman called "The Goddamn Newman" or so. Coincidentally, two Spies from our team disguised as him, so someone had the idea "Hey, let's all be Spies and disguise as Newman." We built glorious Newman towers all over the map.

I'm fairly new to the game. I can't remember the map name, but Was playing Heavy, testing out my newly acquired Brass Beast. There was a Sniper who kept headshotting me whenever i poked out to start fighting. I swapped to scout, thinking "Scout=fast=Revenge". Damn that was a good sniper. He headshotted me again. Then I remembered that the Spy can cloak. I switched to Spy, cloaked, snuck up behind him and got my first backstab. As a revenge kill, thus getting the :Come in From the Cold" achievment.

I had a personal CrowningMomentOfAwesome as a new-to-the-game Pyro who set a Demoman on fire. This Demoman then proceeded to say "Damn you, Sasha!": ::I also got a laugh out of hearing someone go "Wait, are you a GIRL?" I said "Yes, and a noob." And the guy then gave me a bunch of stuff.:

This Troper had three separate [=CMOAs=] on a single server. In one instance I was a Dead Ringer Spy, exploiting the fact that if I stood next to an enemy dispenser I can get infinite cloak. Cue my Roll The Dice move, where I got Toxic (basically kill everyone around you in a certain radius). This was right next to the enemy spawn and they had 6 engies with bases clustered around the point. Cue me sapping and destroying everything before camping right on the point, next to the spawn, as the RED team frantically tries to figure out a way to dislodge me. Second one was similar. The Enemy team had ran into our spawn to camp it. With the Ringer I managed to sneak away. However the point was guarded by a lone engie and his sentry, as well as a pyro-medic combo. I sapped the Sentry then stabbed the engie. As the pyro came to (futily) fix the sentry I snuck to the point and capped it. The Pyro managed to run to the point just as I won the round. Finally, on the defensive, I was the Pyro who snuck into the enemy's territory. running low on ammo and health, and with enemy chasing me I decided to bolt for home. A soldier conveniently comes out and, ignorant of my presence, decided to rocket jump. I freaked out and airblasted the Soldier, trying to push him away. Hilariously the air blast connected with the Rocket at the last possible moment, turning it into one of mine and making it crit. It threw the Soldier up high into the air, as well as killing a nearby Sniper who was taking aim at me. The Soldier then fell and broke his ankle, nabbing me two kills while I ran away. I couldnt stop laughing.

This troper is pretty new to the whole Team Fortress 2 scene, having only bought it a while ago and playing little bits and pieces. His friend told him that a good way to concentrate is to mute the players and the music/sound in the game, and just listen to stuff from my iPod. I decide to do just that, block everything off and hit Random, starting my online game as a Scout. Queen's "Don't Stop Me now" starts playing, to which I feel energized. I ended up stealing the intel twice in a row, killing the Medic, Spy, Pyro AND Sniper before getting taken down by the Heavy. Goes to show: When you wanna be awesome, Freddie Mercury is the man. My own little personal CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

This troper had ANOTHER [=CMOA=] the other night on Arena. Playing as a Pyro, and suddenly got swarmed by a Pyro, a Soldier, a Demo, and a Medic. I was initially gonna go down fighting and decided to make it easier on my team and get rid of the Medic ASAP. I light him on fire and the Pyro tries to airblast him, but he airblasts me and shoots me HIGH into the air. I was only at 23 Life Left and was sure to die the second I landed. I landed...on the Medic, killed him turned around, Back Burner-ed the Demo, and High tailed it out of there, with still 23 LP left.

I was playing as Hale on a Saxton Hale server and got stuck in a place where the only way out was to jump over a railing. However, I was in range of a sentry gun or two which kept pushing me back, making me unable to jump off no matter what I tried, so I was just stuck there while everyone laughed at me. I tried taunting once but for some reason that didn't work. I was there so long that I managed to work up the rage for a second taunt, which only then managed to disable the sentries, and I got off. I won.

This troper just had an awful experience playing this game for like the third time in a year. First, he played a game that seemed to last over an hour, way past the point it was fun. Second, he went through two games in a row where the host dropped the game right before our team won. Then, he ended up in two games that limited all but two or three classes, so I ended up facing a wall of turrets and was unable to play a spy. Then, wanting to play like everyone else and host things their way, I hosted a nice quick game, 1 round, 15 max minutes, 8 max people; because he wanted to play a match, finish it, and stop. For twenty minutes, nobody came, and my connection was great. Finally I gave up and tried one more game and failed to hit anything because noone would move like a normal person (though I guess that's a good strategy), so then I stopped and came here to vent. The game can be fun, but this troper is picky about his server likes. Just likes it standard.

This troper was playing pl_badwater, and his team had just been switched to BLU. During the set-up time, we discovered something: One of the spawn doors had glitched and was stuck half-open. Cue EVERYONE on the team crouching, walking under the door, and then rushing off and beating the crap out of a very confused RED.

While testing out the Sandman on 2fort, I saw a Sniper on the other team's battlements. I tossed a baseball at him, just for shits n' gigs. However, I missed the Sniper completely, and the baseball bounced off the wall, hitting an enemy Pyro on the head and killing him instantly. I even got an acheivement.

I started playing Team Fortress 2 about a month ago. After a few days' worth of online practice, I decided to hop into a public server (cp_steel), just for the hell of it. Naturally, the other players consistently handed me my ass... until I switched over to Engineer. I had spent some time browsing the Steam forums the night before, so I knew some of the basic strategies; I picked a spot near Control Point C, built a sentry there, and erected a dispenser nearby. I guess I picked a good spot, or I just did a good job defending it, because I managed to rack up 26 points (25 kills and 1 assist) before biting the dust. Engie's been my favorite class ever since.

This troper was playing as a Heavy on ctf_doublecross, trying to get the taunt kill achievement. An enemy sniper had our intel, and had taken it via the sewers, and began running up their stairs to the main level. I ran out of his sight, along the side of their base, and managed to pull off the taunt just as he rounded the corner, saving our intel and getting an achievement.

This Troper was playing Pyro on the Frontier Payload map, and after various attempts to charge through a blockade at the second to final checkpoint (the cart had made it, but we had been pushed back) had failed, including using 3 ubered heavies at once, which was defeated through sheer force of numbers, managed to sneak round the back and kill most of a 12 man team through gratuitous use of the backburner. We still lost, as we ran out of time mere seconds before reaching the final checkpoint, but singlyhandedly anilhilating the opposing team made me feel very pleased with myself.

Headshotting an invisible Spy with the Ambassador. On purpose.

During a game of Dodgeball(All pyros with nigh-infinite airblast reflecting homing missiles at eachother), an enemy Pyro decides to try for a melee kill. Hilarity ensues.

This troper once set up a level 3 sentry in the enemy base on CTF_2Fort. At least one of the guys on the other team kept running into it, repeatedly. They did manage to destroy it once, but I set ''another'' one up a few meters to the left, and the enemy scouts started feeding it again.

Once this troper went up against 5 snipers on 2Fort. My team was incompetent, and got easily sniped. I played as a scout, and managed to beat one to death with a bat. However, they then spammed jarate at me and beat me to death. I then played as a soldier and snuck up on them again and used the equalizer's taunt. Those snipers need to focus on the bottom floor too, not the TOP.

Despite primarily playing as the soldier, I am very bad at killing enemies in mid air with the rockets. However, I had two moments that were CMOA for me. There were about 6 players in the server, so we just goofed off. One of the players was playing the Demoman and was sticky jumping all over the place. I shot a rocket at the demo while he was in mid flight and killed him. The second awsome moment happened a few minutes later. I was rocket jumping towards the enemy spawning area and saw the same demo as before. Since I was in free fall, I couldn't aim well and just shot in his general direction. He stikied jumped right into my rocket and died. I believe I yelled, "Holy Crap!" over the mike.

This troper's first kill as a Sniper against an actual player? Headshot on an airborne Scout at the same moment as I died...completely by accident.

This troper's first hat was the Spiral Spallet. Followed two days later by The Proof of Purchase Hat.

A few more tales from This troper:

I keep opening crates. I can't help it. But not long ago, I found I had a spare key, and 2 crates. I naturally looked at the hats available from them: the Milkman, or the Attendant. I went for the potential Milkman, watching the countdown with fingers crossed, praying for my Milkman. ''YOU HAVE UNBOXED: THE MILKMAN.'' Set complete. HELL YES.

I had just one achievement left before reaching 100% Scout: ''First Blood Part 2'' (with the First Blood crit-buff in Arena mode, kill 5 enemy players - not in one go). With this achievement not even started due to my crap Arena skills, I'd decided to tackle this, and get some Shortstop training in. After obtaining the Milkman hat above, I had just 2 more kills to go. I went on a small 3v3 server not long ago and managed to get another. I stayed on, determined to get my last kill. I more than succeeded, and managed to get the Replay...

I have 2

I was playing sniper on 2fort and this enemy sniper was destroying. I kept trying to take him out, but he was too good. I decided to play spy even though I had never been good at it. I sneaked in and backstabbed him. I got the achievement for backstabbing someone who was dominating 3 allies. This inspired me to play spy more.

Yet again as spy. I was on an attack and defend map (forgot which) where there were 3 points and you had to get A and B before C unlocked. I used cloak and dagger to sneak up to C (on a tower). I disguised as a sniper and pretended to stand guard, and I was alone up there. Later, and allied spy came up and we both stood. The moment we captured A and B, we both dropped our disquises and capped the point before anyone knew we were there. I typed into chat "Gentlemen".

as an Engineer, I was in the room in the enemy sewers in 2Fort. a friendly scout came up to my nest and was standong still. "Spycheckin' time", I thought, and killed him in 2 swings with the Jag. a bit later I saw a scout standing idle just round the corner. Killed the same spy in to swings again. n00b.

I wanted to learn how to play as a Scout, but had never actually played as one. I had just got the Shortstop as a random drop, so the I thought the time was right. Cue me winning MVP of my team in a particularly long series of control point rounds. On my ''first time'' playing as a Scout. I'm more twitchy than I thought.

2fort, no time limit and 10 caps to win, a full 32 man server. This is a long haul game. I'm playing with two real life friends and we're using Steam Friend's voice chat to coordinate. We're losing by a couple points when we first join the server because there are near enough no defenders on Red (save a single engineer), so we set up a good defense, one friend as Engineer with a pyro/medic team supporting him, I'm the pyro. Now with a decent defense that the Blu's can't easily break our fellow Reds can actually get a good attack going. More people on Red are talking over the mic and working as a team, every Blu that arrives is either taken down by us or the sentry, ubers can't break through because I airblast them away. Anything that isn't killed is held off because while we have infinite supplies and recharging health right in the same room we're holding, they have to fall back to resupply. Eventually the scores are nearly equal and we now have several active defenders aside from us, near enough the whole of the Blu team is attacking. So we decide to move our sentry to their intel room, we head to their base by the sewers, once in the Blu base we have to use a stored ubercharge to clear sentries out of the entrance hallway, there are further sentries in the courtyard, so my friend deploys his sentry and we hold in their base until we have a second uber. Then we clear the courtyard with a second uber, and finally we move to the empty intel room, The sentry is put down and we soon have a full set up down there, including an exit teleporter which we report to our team. Eventually one Blu notices and tries to take us out, when that fails more start coming, eventually Blu is staging a full on offensive on their own intel room, which now has several engineers and a Medic/Pyro team. We start to overtake them in score as our scouts just repeteadly teleport to their room and charge the intel out. That base lasted for well over half an hour despite the number of Blus attacking it. While Red team members are having laughs over the microphone and reporting incoming attackers. This was the most fun I had in TF2, because it shows that even two or three people who are coordinated and in communication is much more effective than many more individual attackers.

A small game with only a few players on 2Fort (CTF). I managed to get 3 captures in a row as Scout. On the third one, I got to the intel basement just as the enemy Engineer picked up their turret to move it. The next round, I witnessed a CMOA as an enemy Sniper wielding a Huntsman managed to halt my escape through the sewer pipes with an arrow to the face. I ran back through to grab the intel, only getting it 5 meters before another arrow killed me. I tried for a third time, emptying both F-A-N barrels and my pistol towards them and missing before charging in with my Bat. The sniper managed to outmaneuver me, a Scout, and kill me with a Kukuri shortly before the rest of my team arrived and put him down for good.

This Troper, having just finished the training and a few rounds against bots, decided to try her hand at playing against real players. Dropping in on a King of the Hill match in Sawmill I immediately picked Pyro because I heard it's a good starter class. I positioned myself on some stairs so that I could easily ambush two of the doorways and stay away from most enemy fire. Cue two Heavies, a Medic, and a Demoman from the other team charging the area through the opposite doorway and taking out the lone Engineer on guard. After a moment to steel myself I leapt off of the stairs and started to rain fiery death on them. I managed to set them all on fire and take the Medic down to a sliver of health before three ally Soldiers burst in on a scene of mass chaos. I died in two seconds flat, but damn it was fun.

As an Engineer I was sitting around watching over my own sentry while babysitting another Engie's sentry and his teleporter. With everything maxed out and the area quiet I decided to swing my wrench around because I was just that bored but previous experience told me to stay put. I then proceeded to hit and kill a fully cloaked Spy standing right next to my buddy's sentry. Needless to say I burst out laughing.

This was an intresting capture I had. I was a spy with the Big Earner Knife (30% cloak on kill, -25 hp) I was behind the large rock with the large health pack in cp_dustbowl stage two, I was fleeing from being spotted when a demo came out and sticked bombed me, I thought for a moment I died but I saw myself get flung onto the capture point with 2 hp left, I began dodging around as people were a bit preoccupied with other things, only a few trying to get me before the point was captured for the win.

This troper was playing Egypt as a Pyro. He was in BLU team, and they had captured the first control point. But RED was defeding the other control point very well, and BLU wasn't able to get anywhere near it. With 10 seconds left, this troper ran through an alternative route, showed up behind the enemy team (which was composed by at least a Medic, a Heavy ans 2 Snipers), set them all on fire and killed half of them. The BLU team then quickly advanced and grabbed the control point. In the next round, this troper did the very same thing AGAIN, with the same 10 seconds left. This was the day he learned to love the Pyro.

A little bit of a CMOA for this troper: Within his first five minutes of playing as the Pyro, he managed to get both the Next of Kindling and Camp Fire achievements at once... while lagging horribly.

Once in a game of Attack/Defense (on Dustbowl, I think), we had made it to the final point, were starting to run out of time and the other team had a bunch of Pyros defending the point. A Engineer on the other team had a Sentry put in a place that was making it really hard to destroy it. I had tried attacking it only to have it kill me. I tried attacking it again from a different angle, it's Engineer ambushed me with his shotgun. The third time I attacked it, I was partially behind a wall where it couldn't see me, I headshotted the Engineer and took a few moments to snipe his Sentry and Dispenser, while doing so I headshoted a Pyro who I didn't even notice was there. And then I hear the Announcer say "Ten seconds left in the mission!" I was worried due to how we hadn't even started capturing the final point, then I headshotted three Pyros who were defending the point with only two or three seconds worth pf charge, then Jarated a fourth Pyro and lept down from where I was standing to try to get to the point. The Pyro killed me, but a friendly Scout came along and killed him with his Scattergun using the minicrits from the Jarate and then captured the final point, with only two seconds left. I thought that the Scout was awesome and that I had got really lucky.
