I've done all of those except number 1... however one of my personal most common ones are in games with frag grenades, where I accidentally throw the grenade at a wall, it bounces back at me, and I get blown to bits =/

In battlefield 2, I jumped out of a tank, and was immediately run over. >.

Those are some pretty good ones, though I have one to add: I was playing through BF2 one time, and went into this alley. Suddenly, my character dropped dead, and not because of another player's gun or knife. While left with nothing to say besides "WTF?", I notice some vehicle wreckage bouncing around at insanely high speed-clearly some sort of physics glitch. Good thing no one else noticed that, or otherwise I'd probably have been the laughingstock of the entire server. Has that ever happened to you?

Telefragging was hilarous. Remember a game where everyone used translocators.

I really, really, REALLY hate getting run over in FPS games. Although running over someone with a quad in Quake Wars made me feel all warm and fuzzy :P

The most embarrassing way to die is to get killed by a closing door in Blood 2. The door would close and trap you between it and the frame, while your health drops down to 0 and you get gibbed.

Having someone use the tail on a helo as a bat on me was probably the worst ways to go.

The barnacle gun from Opposing Force (HL expansion) was a pretty embaressing way to go. I mean to get killed with it you basically need to be standing still and thats a big no-no in deathmatch, right?

OK, pretty funny. I'll make my own list of embarrasing ways to die in Call of Duty:

* Failure to find the bomb in S&D and losing because time runs out.

* Standing too close to the bomb when it explodes - especially if you set the bomb yourself.

* Falling from a building and dying.

* Calling in an airstrike on your own team and dying over and over again each time it hits a teammate.

* Running over your teammates with a tank and dying.

* Accidentially pushing the direction keys and falling down in the water when a new round starts on that british island-map.

* Cooking a grenade and forgetting to throw it at the enemy.

* Not paying attention and getting bashed from behind by the enemy.

Dying in any of these ways will most likely have other players spam "OMG! NOOB!!" all over the screen.

I remember once in Project Reality (Battlefield 2 mod) when I was driving a forklift truck and my team was totally slaughtering the enemy...

The enemy started on a carrier and had to land on shore with choppers. My team had the whole shore covered so every time the enemy landed they died. I was kind of bored so I decided to enter a forklift truck and drive around a little. After a couple of minutes of driving around the streets and pretending I was running from the cops, I noticed a chopper flying over me. He flew really low, like 5 meters above the ground. He flew towards a sandy open hill 100 meters up ahead and landed next to it. A couple of marines jumped of, 4 of them to be exact. After dropping the guys of, the chopper flew of and out of my sight in between some buildings. I knew those guys on the ground would get swarmed by my team so I decided to give them something to play with before they would get killed.

I accelerated and drove full speed towards the hill. At the same time I started hitting the horn like crazy.

"BEEEEEEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP..."

If there was a way I also would've yelled at the enemy trough my mic: "Yo USA! WAAAAZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" But too bad I could only speak directly to my own squad and saying the above to my own teammates would've been highly inappropriate, since they were Arabs... Atleast they looked like Arabs but they sounded German and British.

Anyway, so I drive up the hill, while hitting the horn randomly "BEEEEEEEEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP...". Obviously I got the enemies' attention. It seemed some of them were surprised, they just stood there and just looked at me. Only one of them was taking shots at me. However, he didn't hit me at all, all the shots bounced of the forklift platform. So I keep driving full speed while hitting the horn "BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEP BEEP..." and yelling to myself "USA WAAAAZZZAAAAAAAAAAAA!". I keep getting closer and the distance between them and me was getting smaller rapidly. That one enemy was still firing at me and those other 3 were still just looking at me. Maybe they were waiting for their teammate to kill me or maybe they were just looking in amazement at what I was doing or maybe there were just braindead. I'm guessing it was the latter one but what I do know for sure is that they were just standing there doing nothing. And I was still doing my own thing. Driving a forklift like a maniac towards an enemy position ontop of a hill while hitting the horn randomly and screaming:

"YO USA! WAAAAAAAZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Finally when the distance in between me and them was less then 15 meters, something happend... The 3 guys that were just standing there, just looking at me, suddenly they turned around and started running. Yeah, and that one guy was still taking shots at me. So I did what every sane person with a drivers licence would do. I had 2 choices:

A. Hit the pedal to the metal, evade the gunman and call 911 (optional: and/or your team).

B. Hit the pedal to the metal, sound the horn rapidly, scream "USA WAAAZZZAAAAAAAAAAA!" and don't change direction.

B was always the right answer during my drivers licence exam. So I chose for B. I kept driving at full speed towards the marine and BAM! Roadkill! At that point I couldn't actually believe that I was still alive. But there was no time to celebrate. I had a job to do! No idea what it was but I knew I had one. So I saw the 3 other guys running for their lives down the hill. I just wanted to scare them, I didn't want to kill them yet. So I drove down the hill while doing my thing and I kept a safe distance. The marines were running like crazy but one of them thought he could outsmart me. He stopped, turned around and took some potshots at me. I quickly evaluated the situation and applied the knowledge I had learned during my drivers licence exam: I chose for B. I went full speed towards him. He quickly took a right turn and started running, but it was already to late. I was already ontop of him, literally. BAM! Roadkill!

The other 2 were smarter. They just kept on running and didn't look back. They took a right turn and started running towards a hole in a fence. I knew that if they would've reached the hole I wouldn't be able to get them. I had to do something! And I had to do it quick! Really quick! I had to do something... But what? What would any sane person with a drivers licence do? Hmm... Yes! That's it!

Full speed!

"BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEP"

"WAAAZZAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

BA-BAM! At that point I heard the Commander say: DOUBLE KILL! Or maybe that was just in my head...

Anyway, who would've guessed that a maniac in a forklift truck could drive up an enemy fortified hill, while smashing the horn randomly and screaming "USA WAAAZZZAAAAAAAAAA!" and would actually succeed in killing the enemy?

Another great one is splash damage. The other day I was playing Quake 4 in single player, got excited after getting past a hard bit, so I went up to a Strogg corpse and started randomly hyperblasting him. I died after 3 shots...

The link is down... but I remember seeing a few funny deaths, like being crushed by a falling team member (both with & w/o a parachute) or a crate in BF2, being rail gunned in Quake 3 in mid air over a pit thus stopping the person & giving him a suicide, & of course grabbing the "Bouncing Anti-matter" ball with the gravity gun in Half-Life 2 DM & returning it to the sender.

Im gunna go with the SanPan boat in BF:vietnam. It was the viet cong boat that had no weapons on it. Basicly you got in it, it moved slow as hell, you were better off walking. BUT you could take it far away from the main fighting and snipe in it. ANd since you were in it. It would say" joe (sanpans) terdly". Its a rarity. Just like in BF2 the RIB (rubber raft) is very rare.
