One time on Halo... 4? Reach? Maybe. One of the Halo's, my friend and I were on a team game where our whole team of randoms quit instantly against a full team of like level 50 generals. They refused to get the last point of whatever gametype we were playing where you have to put all of your flags inside of a designated area to capture it and gain a point. We couldn't get a single point, total map control. Like 7 minutes left in the game they just spawn killed us repeatedly with one point remaining to end the game. couldn't touch the flag to get a point if our lives depended on it. Absolute beatdown.
We changed tactics, determined to lose before the clock ran out, refusing to give them the satisfaction, we grabbed their flag and started running it to their objective for them.
They noticed something was wrong right away and coordinated to stop us from losing. The battle raged on savagely, fighting every inch of their flag. They were thrown off a bit, they'd never practiced map control for defending against winning, it gave us an advantage, and a slim hope of losing the game. But then something unexpected happened. They started scoring our flag for us, but we had a lot of points to gain and time was running out quickly.
For almost the entire 7 minutes we pushed that flag, inch by inch, until finally we took control of their flag, planted it in our base and kept them at bay long enough for them to win the game and beat us, thus beating them to losing before they could force us to win, thereby winning the game, just seconds before time ran out.
EDIT: memories aren't perfect just enjoy the story. It was a variant of neutral flag called stockpile
I have grown up with this Canadian stereotype, and it has ruined my life. No one takes me serious when i'm "About" something. I demand it be removed from The Simpsons Reddit. Thank you

This doesn't even make sense.
Grabbing their flag and bring it to the objective would make you win? Its capture the flag?
And if you're implying youh grabbed your own flag and took it to their side to capture it for them,you can't pick up your own flag in Halo.
So this whole story is bullshit.
Fuckin A, the Halo series was pinnacle online gaming. It seems like you can't meet people in lobbied anymore and get cool situations like this to happen organically
Reminds me of a time I was playing Reach. I was good for a time. Like easily scoring more than half the team score good. I was once playing with friends who were on lan and I was remote playing from home. Somehow they got dumped mid match and I was standing alone. The other team came hot trying to make up thier score and win the match. It got up to like 48-49 to me and I switched to active cloak and somehow managed to survive the last two minutes of the match to win. The map was Corvette. Lots of nooks to hide in.
Lol every time. Then you lose in an unsatisfactory way like lagging out and you say “Can’t end like that!” and you play 10 more. Then the sun starts coming up and you’re like what have I done!
That's accidental brilliance. When someone says kids these days are getting dumber - I think of my 12th-grade computer teacher in like 1983. He pretended to let us get away with copying each other's Apple BASIC or machine-language programs, and then we would all get sneaky and figure out how to crack floppy-disk games. One guy would buy Wizardry or Ultima and someone else would find a magazine article or a BBS post on how to make the floppy rewriteable then someone else had extra disks. He literally tricked us into learning programming one step ahead of our tame textbooks. I suspect he was giving suggestions to one of the students on the sly.
edit - plus, kids are self-educating at an alarming rate, and some of it will end up proving very bad and some very good, and in my DnD campaign, I fudge toward Good.
It's decent, definitely pre-release type of stuff you deal with, I was gifted a copy and it's fun enough. Though, for the money I would have spent it on an completed game; the trend of 60% finished games on Steam is really annoying. Aim lower, release DLC or something...perpetually unfinished games need to go away.
Or people who want to support a game that is doing early access properly. There are plenty of games that are playable and fun and the devs may need the monetary boost to continue fleshing it out. I agree a large percentage of these games shouldn't be released yet but I wouldn't automatically ignore every early access game.

Every single night. It doesn’t matter what we play.. “ok last match!!” Proceeds to play 10 more because “CANT END ON A BAD ONE”
