Greatest Losses

RoyceSraphim

I know that we all have tales of our great victories, for we are penny arcade. We all have tales of how other people's failures make us laugh, and whether those people are humans or AI, it is funny all the same.

But now, share with us your tails of defeat that were the greatest and most enjoyable, over whelmed by an APC rush? Someone jump on your tank in Blood Gulch and pop you in your head? Did all your teammates drop out and you took on an entire CT team only to die by the hand of the final SAS member?

Share and rejoice in defeat.

My contribution will come later after I hit the club.

One of my greatest losses was in Battlefield 2, on the map with the radio station. I'm on USMC and it's a losing battle. Our tickets are dropping rapidly, and we're barely holding on to the few command points we have left. The squad I was in decides to not go quietly, so we dig in at the command point near the water. Most of the squad is hiding behind sandbags, while I climbed to the roof with the anti-tank launcher. The MEC starts to send waves of troops from the water and in APCs to take the post, so we open fire. MEC troops drop left and right and the street is filled with blow up vehicles. Meanwhile, the commander is telling us to take a point across the map, so we conveniently ignore him and continue our defense. We hold it for a while longer and another wave comes in along with a tank. We hold together, and so now there's a tank burning in the road. I look above and see a MEC helicopter coming in low to strafe the squad members on the ground. I swivel my launcher a few inches above it, and fire. The helicopter lifts right into the rocket and goes down in flames. The round ended soon afterwards, but our squad still held onto that command point.
