Several amazing games I've played.

Game number one
Background story:
The map was Karath, and we (the aliens) had the upper hand. A sturdy builder moved the base to the elevator room as soon as the game began. Unfortunately, the game was a rather small one and as most small games go, there were only a few good players. On the aliens side, only two players were getting kills; a marvelous (but quiet) goon named Andy, and I (Repentance).
The humans sent waves and waves of footsoldiers (and by that I mean humans without armor) at us, only to be chomped up and quickly digested by Andy and I (who were both camping base). The entire hummie army soon got fed up, and using strategic tactics were able to down me and Andy a couple times. Before we knew it, they were overwhelming us with Lasguns, Psaws and an assortment of UBERPROLEET weapons.
Andy and I pulled off a goon pounce-chomp combo, and repelled the human attack.

The juicy part(s):
We waited at base for s3 was only a block away, but after several minutes no attack sprung. I decided to scout it out. Running around the place, I found myself outside (ya'know, the place where there's snow everywhere and stuff?) and just as I was about to entire the door, I looked up...
The humans had built a repeater, a telenode, and several turrets at the top of the building (right next to the vent THAT LED STRAIGHT TO THE ELEVATOR ROOM!)
I hurried back to base, knowing to find what I'd expect. I quickly jumped next to the overmind (that was stationed at the top of the ele room) and checked if it could be fired at from the vent. Luckily for us, we had a competent builder and no bullet would graze the overmind if the human just crouched at the vent opening and fired.
I hung around and before I knew it, two hummies had entered the room and unloaded their clips into our base (their names were [SWAT]Yang and cpSeraph. The rest of my team could not protect the overmind as they were all tyrants. So only I (the lone dretch) attempted to fend off the duo. While I ran around biting, the humans destroyed both our eggs and the overmind. Knowing their task to be complete, the hurried back into the vents...but not without me killing cpSeraph as he was just about to enter the vents. And so the surprise attackers retreated.

WE WERE SCREWED!

We had no builders, no eggs, no overmind. All we had were two tyrants, an advanced dragoon (who evolved just as the overmind fell), and a dretch. A quick conversation took place and we decided to storm the undefended human base. The majority of the human army was stationed at the vents outside, so when we arrived at the default human base at Karath, there were only two meager soldiers and a few turrets to deal with. We crushed their entire base without losing a single life. But our job was not yet over.
Everyone rushed outside to fight the battle that we all knew we were going to lose. Every...single...human...player stood outside, several carrying jetpacks, waiting for us. As a dretch, I was downed early off in the battle. But although knowing the alien's fate, and knowing that I could no longer spawn, I decided to record the battle. Simply amazing. The video is available on demand)

[TK] Slashe, who was our only adv. goon, (and with the support of the two tyrants) sniped the repeator, then the turrets and finished off the last human builder (cpSeraph). Surprisingly, with no base at all and the entire human team against them, the aliens pulled off a win.

IT WUZ TEH BEST GAEM EVAR!







Game number two (much shorter).

I joined the game (Tremor was the map), and realized that the aliens had no spawns left. No base left. Only two players. MoherSoldier and Herios[Polska] were still alive. At my time of joining the game, Moher had around 40 kills. Herios had about 20.
The entire human army chased after Moher (as he was the only tyrant above ground). I watched the episode as a spectator and when Moher was finally finished off by several Bsuits, moher had 68 kills. With the entire human team against him, Moher lasted long enough to take down 28 players with him (heck, I don't even get 28 kills when I have a team backing me up!). And so the game came down to humans vs. one last tyrant.

The thing that won/tied the aliens the game:
HERIOS WAS TEH STUCK IN TEH SEWERS/BASEMENT/MAZE.

To cut the story short, no one could kill Herios due to the maze. Herios picked off the humans one by one, soon starving them of credits. The timelimit was 55, and when I had to leave the game at 53 minutes, Herios had 101 kills. I bet aliens tied that game.


Please post any of your games that you thought to be amazing (and hopefully recorded).
here is the love?

I played a pretty amazing game on Transit the other day (ironically I had just started the thread asking about tips for it). It was roughly 8v8 if I remember right. I joined about 5 minutes into the game and somehow the humans had already manage to move the base to the sand area underneath the trains.

I joined aliens and noticed that I was in position 1 of the spawn queue with 6 spawns. The alien builders had simply deconned most of the original base and egg-spammed, sticking eggs in the most obscure places in the map (under trains, cloudy area above default human, etc.), don't remember where OM originally was, but it migrated around throughout the game. Was pretty effective until SD hit later in the game.

Their base was basically inpenetrable; we ended up just trying to draw them out of the base to get a few kills. We fed them to S3 at about the same time we hit S2, but that actually helped a bit because they actually started coming out of the base. We had a few good goons and maras who took out lone humans here and there.

Unfortunately the inevitable egg hunt kept us struggling to hold our own. We hit S3 only a few minutes before sudden death; tyrants were basically useless but adv goons were a bit effective. We managed to take out a few of their turrets and possibly a telenode, but their base was still pretty much unbreakable.

For the longest time we were stuck with a single egg left on the balcony that humans couldn't seem to find. With about 10 minutes left before the time limit (this server had a very long SD, somewhere around 20 minutes) the humans finally took out our last egg, and we were stuck with a hodge-podge of various non-granger aliens. We managed to run around the map and stay alive until the game ran out, but it was one of the few times I've seen humans more or less dominate a long game on Transit.


So to everyone who says that Transit sucks and it's never any fun, you're quite wrong. 8)

Beating humans as a tyrant on your own isn't really that hard, it depends on whether the humans understand the concept of TEAM. As i've managed to beat an 8 human team on my own as a tyrant on Nexus. Purely because they were all scattered and on their own and i'd just make the odd pass at their base destroying turrets til I finished it.

One of the most amazing battles ever took place at Tremor.

Us bugs had a couple feeders, and we got chased into the basement.

It was looking grim, but we somehow managed to hold out against the humans until we hit S3.

From there, we managed to push them back and destroy their base.

It was really something.

That story made me remember this match... ATCS map vote was called in the beginning of the map so ignore it.

I'm amazed at the people who evolved into Tyrants.
2?
No, three?

My favorite game was on arachnid. We had moved into that little red place right under the stairs near the original base. Tyrants were constantly attacking the base. It looks like we would lose for sure. I counted at leat 5 or 6 tyrants. When SD hit, i decided that instead of camping like the rest of my team, i would try to attack the alien base. I got a luci and a jet and managed to get up the vent by the stairs. Then, I ran towards the default alien base through the vent. Luckily, they had not moved. I killed 2 eggs before i died myself. I did the same thing again, this time killing 1 egg before running away. Soon, aliens started specing themselves. I asked if i got all the eggs, and then St. Anger (i think it was him) said something like "SHUT UP OM", go i guessed that the overmind was saying that it needed spawns.  It took a while to kill the mara and tyrant, but we won. I thought we were going to lose for sure. I think everyone was too busy bashing one person on our team, 'Brad Pitt's son' or something, and saying how much brad pitt sucked, to notice that their base was being attacked. Most definitely one of the funnest games i've played.

yeah, no one would have bothered him except he kept saying stupid things like "have you seen brad pitt's abs" and "brad pitt can't die". after that, everyone bashed him. however, he was a decent builder and player and didn't feed, so i just left him alone.
