War Stories from the Beta : Pass Time Before Launch

My greatest War Story or moment from the Beta had to be when me and a small Fireteam of three had some fun. Usually exploration on our way to do some glitches, the Devil's Lair that is. So after encountering the Devil Walker and getting his health pretty low I had an idea of punching it to death.....because that's what Titans do right? Well after hopping on it's back and yelling "RODEOOOOO" I had begun wailing my fist into the Walker with my two friends taking some extra health off. Once everyone got on and punched the poor thing it died and we all did our supers and say on it's corpse as it were a bon-fire. The End [spoiler]It was glorious[/spoiler]

  • I wouldn't call this a war story but anyway 2 of my friends and I had just finished off scavenging for armor in caves. Well we had all found some pretty sick armor so we wanted to show it all off. My friend COLTYG1 had the great idea to go strut our stuff in the Tower. So we get to the tower and line up in a triangle like formation with me in the front. We all walk perfectly in sync straight up the steps toward the center of the Tower. Thats when people started to join in. After a minute we had 6 people walking all in sync. But thats not the best part. Halfway towards the Bounty guy I said "Screw it!" and broke out into dance! Everybody joined in and we had a 15 man dance party for a good 20 minutes. Cant wait to do it again. See ya'll star side!

    • There I was on the Venus Map flanking left on B Flag. 5 unsuspecting enemies were about to cap B Flag, when the words SUPER CHARGED flash on my screen! I double jump unleash my Nova Bomb and then BLAM 5-KILL. I slowly fell to my death barely missing the ledge feeling so pumped to do that again and again. VOIDWALKER=CONTROL FREAK

    • During one of many crucible matches as my hunter, I managed to take out an interceptor in the map on the moon while on foot. I was moving around the sides of the map towards zone A when I noticed an enemy interceptor harassing zone B. Using my assault rifle(I was out of sniper ammo) I took a few pot shots at it's driver. It started to turn towards me and shot back, but hit a piece of cover in between us with me still shooting at it. After hitting the same object multiple times it decided to try to ram me. I didn't expect to live very long with it getting that close, but I tried to double jump over it to at least not suffer the indignity of getting ran over by the thing. While in the air I threw my knife at him, hitting the driver square in the head and killing him. I took the vehicle as my prize.

      • Patrolling with my Warlock when I spotted a rookie being overwhelmed. I hopped onto my Sparrow to rush towards his aid. Got off and like a thing of beauty, BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! Four shots with my hand cannon before reloading. All four instant kill, headshots. The rookie literally just froze in awe at the bodies before glancing my way. And much like the badass I felt like, I rode off into the distance.

        • I don't consider this a war story. But last three minutes of the Beta. Me and some friends were in the tower. Just following the purple ball and shouting "IT IS OVER. ALL IS LOST. THE END TIMES HAVE COME. THE END IS HERE. ALL HOPE IS LOST. There will be a time when will rise again. To take back what is ours. To push back the darkness. We will rise again. But it will be many moons" And them we danced around and jumped off the edge. The beta ended soon after. I cried.

        • The time when Everyone in the session (all sixteen players) Fought with me against 2 Devil walkers, while in the hourly mob smash in the back of the map hopefully someone nows what I mean, It was quite a glitch and it was like a freaking war zone lol!

        • I can't recall exactly what I was doing, but it must have been one of the random events during exploration. Seemed like enemies just kept pouring into the area I was in and I kept having to back down. I'd already run out of special and alternate weapon ammo and was running pretty low on primary ammo. Just when I'd gotten my shields back up, a couple of captains round the corner on me. Two of them drop pretty quick to the last mag in my rifle, but the third is a damned elite with that blinding yellow health bar. I gave into the moment. Went with the instinct. I stabbed at him, he slammed me back. I lunged at him again, took out his shields. He slammed me back again, took out my shields. Lunging a third time and connecting...he didn't die. Stuck in place for just that moment I see him wind up to finish me off. As he does, everything fades. Everything. Whole world just gone. Servers down. Beta over. Thanks for play. I got punched so hard my beta was done.

        • Playing on First Light...I was having an intense match. I had about 35-42 (I think) kills, and my KD was going up as the game went on. The only thing standing in my way was some kid on an interceptor that just kept -blam!- me over and over again. He would then get off his sweet little ride, jump on top of debris in the back behind point A, and snipe the crap out of me. Finally, I had enough. I charged my super, fired up my golden gun, took two shots each killing unsuspecting Warlocks. I'm thinking at this point, "Shit, one left, and a knife. Make it count!" So I just chuck my throwing knife in the general direction of this kid sniping from the debris, and sure enough, dead. 200 yards away. And I still used all three shots left to get kills. A magical, magical moment.

          I was out exploring Old Russia when I came upon a small skirmish between some Fallen and Hive. I engage both parties, quickly taking them out. Suddenly vast numbers of both factions appear and i get caught in the middle of it all. One or two other solo players joined me in the epic battle. I was constantly on the verge of death, but my newfound allies and I overcame our enemies and wiped them out. It was a battle worthy of remembering. I then celebrated by riding my sparrow into the sunset... Then fell off a cliff and died. [spoiler]The End[/spoiler]

          On the Beta, there was an are past the Forgotten shore filled with level 20 hive knights. My friends refused to go into the area, but me, Im stubborn. I decide 'Hey, If I cant kill them, I want to see whats past them.' A couple of tries on my upgraded sparrow got me past the few guarding the path, and I erupt into an area with over twenty level 20 hive knights. A couple more tries (humming star wars music because if evern one shot hits me Im insta-killed. Oh yeah, this was definitely a deathstar run) and I almost get past them too. I see this big sticky lantern looking thing sitting in front of the opening of what looks like a crashed covenant ship from halo (Its wasn't but thats what it looked like. It was purple and everything. Sue me.). 'Ooh, that kind of looks like it belongs in the areas I saw on the moon trailers. Is that what they're guarding?" And then I notice that it has a health bar too. A level 20 Shrieker, the Hive equivalent of the Fallen's Servitors. It blasts me through the next few attemps. And then I get passed it too, doing an accidental but very cool barrel roll in my attems not to get blasted by the Shrieker. Down into the depths I go on my sparrow. The screen tells me that I am now entering the I emerge in a cavern with three Level 20 wizards and a crap ton of Thralls of the same level. My Sparrow is in flames. No way i'm getting it out of here. I abandon it to use the manuverability of my warlocks glide (cause I chose manueverability in the air over distance. I make a made dash, well, figuratively speaking. I jump and glide like a mad man, Wizards void energy sailing past me and Thralls scrambling to tear at my feat every time I have to land to jump again. I run through the only opening I see, going up. I run up and up, untill I emerge in the area where you must fight while trying to defuse a bomb on the Sepktis Prime Strike mission. I go back to the tunnel I had just run out of (Crazy yes but I was thinking "That can't be it, can it?") and the tunnel was blocked when I tried to go back down. I can't wait to return to the Hive who missed me in Old Russia. And the next time, It wont be a deathstar run. This time, It'll be a bloody massacre.

          During a multiplayer match on the Moon, it got to the point where there was only one or two other players on the enemy team while we still had our whole team. They were keeping the match going by capturing the objectives we weren't at but I needed sniper kills and couldn't find them. So I went on a search for the enemy. After about a minute or so I found a female hunter on the edge of the map and my first reaction was that she was sniping, but she was just sitting there. So I did what any sensible player would do. I drove over on my sparrow and before she could react I immediately started dancing. Then she started dancing to and one of my teammates came along and danced with us. Then we sat on the cliffs edge for a while when my teammate suddenly jumped off. After that another one of my teammates came and killed the enemy titan I was dancing with. I then proceeded to shoot him with all my heavy, special, and normal weapons until the end of the match. [spoiler]I also threw my knife at him and super charged him [/spoiler]

            • I was playing a crucible game with one of my friends and we were on the moon. I saw an enemy through the windows at zone C and decided to have a dance off with him. Then while we were dancing my friend came from behind and used his super on the enemy. Funniest moment for me in the beta hands down.

              • Me, and some new people I met were fighting the Devil Walker, and long story short we kept dying over and over tryin' to revive eachother but it was too funny! It was one of the best damn experiences I've ever had playing games! I've even got a video of it as a deathtage.

                    Possibly the best thing that happened was wiping out and entire team of guardians in the iron banner, they were all camping and dancing around the flag in the dome (A) didn't notice me until I launched my super at them all. It was a glorious purple explosion, we still lost the match, but damn it was fun to play. Going to be hitting multiplayer hard when I get some nice gear. :)

                      • A friend and I timed how long we could dodge the unkillable level 20 hive knights. I died instantly but he kept jumping and shooting for 15 minutes, artfully dodging everything. Couldn't stop laughing.

                        • The best war story I have is from when my friends and I decided to take on that giant, level ?? enemy in the bunker beneath the old helicopters (I think it called an ogre). We lured it out and jumped around it until we were able to punch it off the mountain, killing it. We did this twice.

                          • As Bungie was giving the '2 minute warnings' for server shut down, I sat my Warlock down on one of the antenna/outcroppings on the Tower and looked out over the Last City and the Traveler. The screen faded to black. My joyous time with the Beta was done. My long excruciating wait for Sept 9th had just begun. [spoiler]Just over 2 days to go![/spoiler]
