The Most Epic Battle Experience You've Encounter In A Game?

MOH, COD, MGS3, and Maybe Shadow of The Collosus.

Also, parts of Crysis. The assault level comes to mind.

my most memorable battle comes from rome total war. i was at the hieght of my m power in the game and my empire was huge. there were very few factions left to get in my way at this stage.

so i was sieging another city (as one does in rome total war) and i wanted to move some catapults (well the roman version of those..onnagars if i remember right but the memories fuzzy) up to assist with taking the city. i was ROMAN and ill be dammed if i waited to siege a city....bloody egyptians.

so anywho i was moving my catapults up to the city, with a light escort of some cavelry, to the city when i got ambushed by a pretty sizeable egyptian army. so it was me on top of a hill with a unit of cavelry. i switched my catapults to fire fireballs and i used my cavelry to hold attacking units at bay for as long as possible. i also, dangerously, fired at charging enemy forces even when my horses were engageing them (and my guys took a few hits). my basic tactic was to force them up the hill and break their morale be inflicting heavy casualties....a last ditch desperate effory. luckily, the AI didnt like the idea of charginf artillery thats on top of a hill so most of the time it circeled. when it did send soemthing my way, i generally managed to inflict some heavy casualties on the unit before it got to the top of the hill. if it was infentry then my horses would just mop them up but i let the enemy charriots retreat and regroup. so it was a case of the enemy circeling my position, trying to flank me (i would turn a catapult to an enemy atempting to flank and lob foreballs at them. the ai would then retreat) and me battering them with fireballs (scoring some very jammy hits i have to say :D). after about half an hour, my horse were effectively gone and one of my catapults was destroyed. however the AI eventually decided to retreat due to heavy casualties, a dead general and a demoralised army.

jammiest victory i ever had in the game :D. the best generals are those that are lucky i suppose :P.

a 3 hour battle of TF2 on cp_orange_x finally erupting in us winning.

Dopemonk736

Same for me basically, except our game lasted for nearly five or six hours, alot of people just abandoned the game leaving the other side empty giving us a big advantage where we finally won, but that game got pretty intense, people were flying everywhere.

I think its when i beated Pokemon Blue, i was so happy lol, but that was like 7 years agoPlzDuntBanMe

It's such an easy game.

[insert giant medieval 2 or Supreme Commander battle story here]

-hell, most of my most epic and awesome battles are in RTS games.

[QUOTE="vfibsux"]

I have a couple, the first time I played the first Russia mission in Call of Duty, the one where you cross on the boat and storm the city. Was in awe.

Darth_Kane

Yeah me too

Me too Guys that was the most Awesome battle in any game ever

1. 'The Red Square mission' in Call Of Duty 1

2. Tank Battle in Crysis

3. 'Shock and Awe' in Call Of Duty 4

4. 'Crew Expendable' in Call Of Duty 4

sniper level in cod4jimhogg

That was another intense one.

I'd have to say in Call of Duty when playing as the Russians. When your on the boat crossing the river and then you land and storm the city. It was just amazing.

darkminus

That was mine as well, I think the music had a lot to do with that as well, was very immersive.

That was such a beautiful moment in CoD. I have to agree with that being my favorite. It was frantic, gritty, and so well executed.

Tanks in L4D.

Also, this one time I ran straight up to a witch and shot her in the face. My heart was pouning REALLY fast! :lol:

I have a couple....

Battlefield 2- I was in this squad that killed at least 70 some people before we all went down, so much fun.\

Rome: Total War- Early in Jului Capmaign with a bunch of the cheap horses rushing up on the generals :D

Well my best battle experience and the newest one was with M2TW

I was Kingdom of Jerusalem and well some pesky guys came knocking my door oh yes the Mongols there were like 9 whole armies cant rememmber well of the number but I know 4 of them came to my territory with the family heir. I knew they were coming so I was prepared with 2 full armies of my best units one with one of my best generals the other one with a kid. So the battle started and I was heavy outnumbered but doesnt mattered my general had a trait and he hated mongols :) to make the story shot I won it was a complete bloodbath and the kid died but I felt so good after the battle beacuase I had to use some damn tactics

Another great battle was of course The White Forest Strider attack - I tried it again on my lag free computer - it was really cool this time around!

Who agrees with me with the white forest? Raise your hand!

biggest_loser

Me(raising hand) The white forest was very entertaining. That being said Ep 1 had an entertaining and epic final battle in the train yard as well. (not to the scale of the thite forest, but still good.

the closing missions in mass effect such a big intense build up love it!Beaglesniffer

Intense untill the very last bit, where it's just people discussing politics.:cry:

My Personal favourite is definately the white forest strider attack. Every part of that level felt like an action movie. A really, really good action movie.

Or the first few levels of System Shock 2, where you're just like WTTFFFFF!!!!111

Off the top of my head, that spider mastermind boss in Doom 2 was epic. It was this massive dark room with a raised platform in one corner where the mastermind was. Here I am thinking I'm the **** with my BFG, feed him some shotgun shells then I fire off my last remaining BFG shot... and he's still standing. Then I proceeded to unload buckets of chaingun ammo on his face until finally he somehow dies with my ammo almost gone and health depleted.

Ahhhh, those were the days of badass bosses. No weak spot that you had to shoot when the boss was doing a ballerina pose with his left foot and right arm up in order to kill him... the boss' weak spot was lots of bullets.

Off the top of my head..

First time I completed Arelinthe Island in Aheron's Call.

Holding off the Mogrol Hordes in MT:W with my small army of Highly upgraded Jasnissary Heavy Infantry.

Planscape Torment, when the whole scale and scope of the plot and your character starts sinking in.

The White Forest Strider Attack was pretty good.

I would have to say the final battle against Ganon in Zelda OOT.

the most memorable one has to be the D-Day mission WAAAAY back in Medal of Honour: Allied Assault. i was seriously stunned back then.

When the revolt starts in city 17

Edit: apparently I have replied to this epic gravedig before.

Well, A well played AoE II:TC match is just as good.

Serious Sam: The First Encounter.

Final boss.

You fight off wave after wave of dozens of enemies firing lazers and missles and hurling themselves at you and whatnot. Screaming kamikazes. Wearbulls. Total chaos, carnage, and insanity. I emerged victorious.

Then I turned around and saw THIS.

:shock: :o :cry:

/run

Every Rome Total War and Medieval 2 Total War battle.

Every Homeworld battle.

Some of Warhammer's battles and COH's too.

COD4 were the nuke goes off, omg, i cried.

Devil may cry 4 final boss battle and the one before.

*Spoiler*

Dante vs Savior and Nero vs Sanctus,those were epic :D

*End of spoiler*

Am I the only one that still thinks that MoHAA's Normandy beach level (aka rip off of Saving Private Ryan) is the most intense level in any game ever created? It blew me away at that time. Sigh, I miss quality MoH-games.

That and FF10 is quite "epic", I guess.

Dawn of War:dark Crusade

i had a 5 minute meat grinder in front of my base, in which a krootox, avatar of khhaine, baneblade, and my chaos demon prince square off. if the damage was persistent, the 5 minute struggle would have resulted in the bridge being incinerated. the fighting got so bad my HD 3870 on lowest settings was having issues.

Jinroh_basic

me too, that was awesome.

The game just went live and my guild was low level. We heard about some action in the Midgard zone and went out. We found an alliance raid of like 100+ people seiging a keep. I did nothing more than stand around and shoot arrows at some people, but the epicness of the battle shocked me. We ended up winning.

- As said previously, Normany Beach from MoH and Red Square from CoD.

- I also thought there were some epic moments in Lost Planet with some of the bosses

- The battle for Minas Tirith in Battle for Middle-Earth was pretty damn epic as well

The final battle in Crysis wins for me hands down...........taking on an alien too big to describe on the deck of a burning aircraft carrier cannot be topped! Huskerz09
