In Halo 3 I sniped my friend through a window, then he said "WTF"

Was playing Guitar Hero and didnt hear a burglar come up behind me and smash me over the head with a crowbar. I died on the operating table but they resuscitated me, and I am now recovering. As for my friends, they were pretty sympathetic at first but a couple of months on, if I forget something or complain of headaches they tell me I'm being a pussy and to stop milking it.

funniest death I experienced was in CoD4. My friends and I were doing a private match and of course I was getting the shit kicked outta me. So, I got bored and pulled out the sniper with the flash bangs. spent the rest of the match flash banging everyone. one friend was getting hit more than anyone else. In an act of revenge, he snuck up behind me to knife me. But of course, I knew he was behind me and dropped a flash bang right before he got me. Cussing and screaming because he couldn't see shit. ahhh... what music to my ears lol

Elgringobandito hasn't understood this has he? That wasn't very funny...

Most hilarious death for me was on Halo 3. I was looking around with a sniper rifle when I heard a motor coming up behind me. I turned and was looking right down the barrel of a scorpion tank. Greatest replay ever.

Quaidis:
Back in the days of Final Fantasy VII, I wanted to fight the Midgar Zolom on my first pass by that area - instead of taking out the time to catch a chocobo and avoid it. After all, why would they put a ridiculously impossible-to-defeat monster there if there wasn't some way to defeat it?

So I spent quite a while running up and down the landscape, buffing up my characters. In this quest, Aerith was an absolutely necessary party member as her limit breaks at that time not only healed the party completely, but also made them temporarily invincible (At least I believe that was what occurred; it was a long time ago and my knowledge of the special attacks in a wretchedly over-indulged rpg are limited.)

Finally, while with a friend to give guidance, I fought the Midgar Zolom for the n'th time, a few times, and achieved the goal - to have Aerith survive the one 'insta-kill' move. After all, if she survived, she could revive Cloud and I could continue my battle efforts.

When she survived, my friend and I shouted, "She lived, she lived!" only to have the Zolom tail smack her immediately afterward. ... "She's dead, she's dead!"

That was my most hilarious death.

Needless to say, I would not be defeated. I spent much more time grinding and finally was able to beat the Zolom. And I did, indeed, beat the thing on the first time through. The downside is that a second later, it initiated another battle without giving me any time to run away. So I did give up with crushed spirits.

God, did you see how much EXP it gave you after it died. That's only sightly better than the Tonberry from FFVIII on.

Team Fortress 2, my sentry killed me because a spy undisguised in front of me, and I was in front of my sentry.

Halo 2

I was about 10 matches into playing on Live. It was the train station map, on which I'd made note that there were trains operating on the track. Yet I still got run over 5 minutes into the match...

In COD 4 me and two friends are playing a custom old school game. Friend A tells Friend B and I to stand on opposite sides of an alley. We do so without hesitation. FA commences to bring out a SAW and play Buddy Roulette... He starts spinning, bullets flying everywhere. I start laughing maniacally, break out my Desert Eagle and shoot him in the head.
I laughed until I cried.

I once watched my friend when he was playing spiderman 2 when it first came out ages ago, for the ps2. He jumped off the empire state building, landed on part of it that was jutting out and bounced, then fell and bounced again, then landed. Pretty funny.

OK

The level is Delta Halo (from Halo 2) when the Pelican comes to drop off the Scorpion just before the bridge you have to lower. I stand under the Scorpion to prevent it from dropping, when we (me and my brother) discover it's possible to pile vehicles on top of the Pelican by jumping them over this hill. Naturally the first thing we do is pile everything we can on and discover that the Pelcan sinks. This allows things other than Ghosts to be put on, which is exactly what we did. Even put a Wraith on.

So now my brother and a hillarious assortment of vehicles is on top of the Pelican and I step out from under the Scorpion (or out of as it had sank into me), and the Pelican begins to rise or tries to. What actually happened was it didn't move and started shaking from side to side. I hop on and my brother gets in the Wraith and pushes a bunch of Ghosts off. The dropship now rises more successfully, eventually reaching ideal height and taking off. We slide off and think "all that work for nothing."

But what's this? The Warthog and a Ghost stayed on, they had traction. Thus we repeat the endeavor and try to brace ourselves against a Warthog so that we may ride the Pelican and see where it goes. Failure yet again.

Alright we need some barrier to the sides as well as the back. A Wraith, it's got a perfect space in between two wings (a tank with wings, aren't we lucky). Repeat again, this time using the Wraith to brace ourselves. Failure once again, the Pelican shakes the Wraith off before it even leaves.

Repeat yet again, this time we steady the Wraith on the way up (with some careful driving) then jump out when the Pelican stabilizes for take off (and it was like take off, sudden enormous acceleration, just horizontal instead of verticle). Success! We ride the Pelican, giddy with exitement. And we were soon splattered by the Wraith as it and the Pelican passed through the invisble wall. It was worth it to see two Master Chiefs falling at the same speed, flailing in perfect unison, precisely parallel with each other as a pelican with a Wraith on it speed in to the distance.

On a related note we were doing that again and the Pelican was angled downward by the weight when it took off, hitting a rock. We pushed it with the Wraith to dislodge it, then it crashed promptly into another rock. Pushed it again and it flew straight into the cliff, for some reason it was turned nose downward bye the cliff (it crashed into it at an upward angle). And it kept crashing into little outcroppings as it angled ever more towards nose straight down. It eventually passed that angle and something clicked, it stopped rocketing forward and just started spinning in place. We approached causiously to inspect it and when I got near enough it said "Press X to flip Banshee."

I'm thinking, "no fracking way, we might get to fly this" (every Halo fan's dream since The Silent Cartographer). So I flip it, and it just doesn't behave right. The entire enormous craft just started spinning rapidly and moving away from me, morphing through geometry with the only solid part aparently being the cockpit. It eventually settles almost perfectly upsidedown so I flip the "Banshee" again. The same effect, only this time it starts rolling towards the cliff.

"No save it!" And my brother tried in vain, it start spinning faster and moved back up the slope a ways then tumbled towards the cliff again. We tried to get in it for quite awhile but it eventually fell over the abyss. We followed proclaiming that we'd save it and yelling "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" as we fell to our deaths with it. The Pelican simply spun wildly on top of the water as we died.

Ahh, good times. And my mom still doesn't understand what all the screaming was for :).

Ace Combat (4? 5?) (Sorry my memory has gone fuzzy)

I'm in Free Flight mode using the 'Raptor' aircraft. I climb to 50,000 feet, and then plunge back down to earth with full afterburners blazing. After I level out (at 200 feet) I am going incredibly fast, and I decide to fire a missile (for the hell of it). Well, it turns out I was going 'slightly' faster than my missile, so I flip the camera 180 degrees to admire the fact I was outrunning a missile.

Then I ran into the inconveniently placed mountainside.

Just had the best kill on GTA 4 (original, I know).

Was sniping people in the middle of the road, when I see one guy try running away from the spinning rotors of a helicopter flying towards him. Looking down the scope of my rifle I can see the helicopter gaining ground on this one poor man as he frantically sprints to get away.
Now, I've got the runner's head firmly in my sights, and I squeeze the trigger.

Just as his head explodes in a red mist, he disappears into the rotors of the helicopter. Looked cool, but I bet the pilot was pissed.

in Unreal Tournament '04 I was playing Onslaught on Torlan, which has a really high tower in the middle. Now I managed to get into a flyer, got up there, but my flyer was shot off by someone else. I got stuck on a really high tower, so I decide to look for the shortest fall available and cross my fingers. As I was falling, a tank shell (of all things) hit me in the face. still my definition of 'lucky shot'

BF1942 LAN match.

Twas the night before...Tuesday and nothing stirred....Except for some nerds in a basement. As the head shots multiplied a good game was had by all until one frightful day the Hey Joe had his mouse disconnected in the middle of a tense fight. The other guy noticed I wasn't moving for some reason, and took the opportunity to stab me in the face and then teabag my corpse.

road rash 64. When ever you get hit by oncoming traffic head on a glitch occurs were your just sent flying like 50,000 ft up in the air and your bike flys up there too, hilarious. Me my buddies thats all we would do on that game was see who could fly the farthest. haha

2 scenes from Battlefield: Bad Company.

One scene was where my friend was testing out his rocket launcher. He fired at a shed, and as I was watching it come apart, one of the sides comes flying at me and hits me right in the face. Instant death.

Next respawn, I stand away a bit, to ensure nothing of the like happens to me again. Quietly standing a considerable distance from me, my friend launches his rocket. Due to some insane twist of fate, he misses the target completely, the rocket flying wide. However, it does impact a few foot beyond his intended bullseye. A couple of trees fall over. Including the one that crushed me. Ow.

Cutting my own head off with the ripper in UT 99.

In the original Rainbow Six, I was with two other guys. The plan to raid a room was to have the guy with the shotgun breach the door and then me tossing in a frag grenade, and blitzing in once it went off. Unfortunately, I stupidly threw the grenade at the door when it was still closed and it bounced back onto our feet, guy with the shotgun panics and accidentally shoots me at point blank range, and my grenade blew up the two remaining guys in my squad.

God, did you see how much EXP it gave you after it died. That's only sightly better than the Tonberry from FFVIII on.

I don't really remember every detail due to how many years it's been, but I believe after I beat it, I was subsequently (and quite immediately) killed when it attacked me the second time - so therefore I didn't quite register how much exp I received through all of my happiness, then shock. I really couldn't beat it and walk away without getting attacked again. I forgot if it was possible to escape from the zolom battles at all.

Ohh dear. Okay, I'll contribute my bit.

See, I either die in weird ways or NOT die when I truly should have.

I was a level... mm, a level 8, I think, in NWN1. I was running a DM-ed module with characters that existed on the persistent world that the DM ran. The others were around level 18.

Pertinent info: I am 10 levels lower than everyone else on the team. My luck is ODD.

Being a nice guy, Sword (the DM) lets me run along with them anyway. Heck, I don't mind dying, why not? So we're running this quest, story and all, and I'm staying behind everyone, shooting a bow. I was actually doing really well... until someone stepped on a lightning trap.

Two rooms and a hallway away.

There is No Way Possible for that lightning to have hit me from that distance, through that many walls, but due to an utter freak accident, I was instantly struck dead.

Shortly after this, they started using me to hold all the res scrolls except for a few, as I started staying alive in impossible situations.

A few minutes later, I was the only one left alive, running around in circles from a demon which was FAR stronger than me, that I could not damage, and that had run out of spells killing my teammates. I ended up saving everyone by running like hell and burning Res scrolls. I also mysteriously survived being the first person to run into a dragon. Even my animal companion, which I had only JUST got, survived it.

But no, a lightning trap half a dungeon away takes me out. *thud*

Halo 2. The aerial battle at the floating Covenant air mine (or whatever it was). I was co-op playing with my friend, chasing the Heretic in a Banshee and I had a good lock on him, too, I was shooting him on his left side anti-grav wing. Like an ass, I hit the dismount button, and exited the Banshee in mid-air. The camera watched me fall out of sight, limbs flailing ludicrously. That's not the funny part, though. Of course when you die in co-op, you respawn next to your ally. I, of course, respawned next to him-outside the banshee he was in. Naturally I fell to my death again, limbs flailing ludicrously...again. He landed right afterwards so it wouldn't happen a third time.

Another funny one in Halo 2. I was playing with the same friend, this time in deathmatch. I had a rocket launcher. He came running up on me and I saw him from a mile away. He saw the rocket launcher in my hand when he was about 30 feet away and goes to freakin out cuz we're in the middle of a long hallway and he has nowhere to go. He goes to jumpin around hopin I'll pop off a round and miss him. I follow his jumping and fire one off and hit him, full-on, direct hit, at the exact peak of his jump. He ends up twenty feet away, all rag-dolled with his limbs all twisted and clusterfucked. It was great.

In GTA IV. I jumped out of an helicopter and landed in the water. When I looked up I noticed that something was coming...

Right...while these aint stictly my own deaths they ant half funny ;)

Both of these hillarious deaths happened while playing Battle Field 2 at my m8s house.

The first time Id ever been on a BF game so i was rly enjoying myself, we played on a map with an aircraft carrier, so after pissing around a bit in planes we decided to have a bit of a fight...

Well I of couse got in a tank and he got in a plane so i was pretty much dead, I ran away and managed to make it to a bunker which stopped him from bombing me. I didnt quite know what the controls were still so I clicked the fire button to see what would happen. I cant see outside other than a small gap in the wall which i fire though...a few seconds pass and he comes wizzing past at top speed (with boosters on and everything) and then he just blows up xD

I had sniped him with a tank xD

Annd the second (same map about a year later)... I was teamkilling (for giggles) and i was the commander... for some reason they couldnt kick me xD
Well after ariliery sriking my aircraft carrier i decided to drop a crate on somr random guy who was taking off in a chopper. It took so long getting down that he had moved out of the way by the time it had arrived. I was just about to use some other "weapons of mass destrucion" when i saw one of my teams' planes fly straight into it xD. A few minutes later he typed something like "WTF who put the f*king box there! I just flew into a crate did any1 see?"

I pissed myself i rly did...Death by crate... what are the chances? xD

Remember Driver on PS1? The first one. The GOOD one.

I loved the movie creator function in that game so I made a lot of films of car chases. The best ever was a survivor game, in which I'm on the run from an endless supply of cops. After a few minutes of the usual duck, dodge, scrape-'em-off-with-a-building. I was caught between two cops in the middle of a park. I try to reverse out of the wedge and another cop slides in on an angle, jostling us all around. By now, my car is caught in a U-shaped pocket of cop cars. I start to back out when suddenly the whole screen goes green. Then blue. Then green again, but this time with a collection of cop cars, looking very small. Blue again. Green again, but now the cop cars are a lot bigger. Blue. And CRASH.

I wound the tape back and set the camera down next to the closing crash. While I was backing out of that little pocket, a forth cop came barrelling over the hill toward us. His car hit mine at top speed and the physics engine, not sure what else to do, launched my car straight up into the air about 60-70 feet. I then spun end-over-end before slamming down hood first on that cop.

I watched that amazing crash over and over. I mourn the data-loss of that memory card.

In GoldenEye, I had practiced in the Facility multiplayer stage for hours upon hours before an informal tournament me and my friends were having. Why? So I could memorize EVERY. SINGLE. SPAWN. POINT. And I did.

Come tourney time, I always picked Proximity Mines as my weapon of choice. I would essentially go around planting them in seemingly random places...until the others started to realize what I was doing. One kill for me turned into about ten every single time. Needless to say, I made it up to the finals.

In the final round, I simply did the exact same thing as I had always been doing until then...but my opponent had been watching what I had done to get to this point. He waited in one of the big side rooms toward the end of the stage, and threw his own mines in the spawn points in that area. Then, he waited. Just...waited. Since the score was 0-0 and I wanted those bragging rights, I knew I had no choice but to go in after him...only for me to realize halfway there that he had set a single mine at a point that was NOT a spawn point.

Final score was about 5 to negative 15. I got blown up by my own mines over. And over. And over. To this day, he has never let me forget it. And I still laugh about it.

mine has to be BF 2142. My friend and I were in a walker and I got out pick up a guy's pack.(He was an egineer.) and when I started to run back to the walker, my friend started to move towards me and I got kicked halfway across the street, bowled into another guy and we both died.

I don't suppose it would be considered funny (well, not for my team anyway), but I was playing a match of Search and Destroy on Call of Duty 4, and the enemy had planted the bomb. I'd managed to take out the last enemy, and all I had to do was defuse the bomb. I was just defusing the bomb (which you have to do by pressing "X"), and I ran up to the bomb tapping "X". I'd forgot that I had previously planted C4's on the target (which you detonate by double tapping "X"). I'm sure you can understand what happened...

Well ive been killed by a flash bang in css!
My friend threw it over a wall and it landed on my head

And my favourite kill ever was on cod4 i had shot a guy a few times on hardcore so i knew he was almost dead so i chuck a stun grenade around the corner and it goes off, which killed him!
So i got a kill with a stun grenade without direct impact.

Oh i have been killed on cod4 by triggering my own claymor and blowing myself up. Must have been serious lag because there was no-one but team mates for miles

This didnt happen to me, but i was there when it happened.

Me and my friend were playing halo 3 on legendary and we're pinned down inside a small building by a wraith. He decides to run out to try and kill the wraith. He takes 2 steps out the door when a hornet drops out of the sky and kills him. I start laughing like a madman; the game must have heard me, becouse the wraith immediatly blew me up through a hole in the celing.

Another time, we were playing the first level of halo 3(still on legendary)and i tell him to move out from behind the rock we were hiding behind to check for snipers. He walks out and stands there for a full minute, then runs to kill the brutes who were in our way. I take off, and 3 seconds later i get sniped by a jackel who apparently hated me.

what is this "death" of which you speak?

A couple years ago, I gave Halo my first play. Sort of shooting around on the first level while my friend watched. Not very good at shooters, my frustration grew higher and higher as the heat seeking needlers of the little imp monsters kept getting me. There wasn't a whole heckuva lot I could do.

After dying for the umpteenth time, once again, I turned to my friend, frustrated, and proclaimed angrily (and without thinking), "I got purple things up my butt again!"

Still haven't lived it down...

On CoD4, i killed a guy an
