I have to say that the ODST drop was definitely one of my favorites because I always wanted to see what an ODST drop was like in first person, and let me tell you that I was not disappointed.
Anyways, post a favorite gaming moment and feel free to include more than one.

The boss fight itself is great, and probably one of the greatest boss fights of all time. Basically, for those who don't know, the boss fight is a sniper duel that spans multiple areas. The End can be hiding in one of several vantage points in each area, and you have to track him down and get him before he gets you. His rifle fires tranquilizers, which rapidly deplete your stamina. And once your stamina is gone, it's not a game over; you get carried back to a jail quite a ways back, and you have to escape and make your way all the way back just so you can try battling the geezer again. It's as much a test of endurance and wits as it is a test of sniping skill. Anyway, my favorite moment and what really cemented that boss fight as my all-time favorite went like this: I was hiding in some grass, with my sniper rifle ready (When you have the sniper rifle equipped, you're forced into first-person view). The battle had been going on for quite awhile. My stamina was low, but I didn't want to hunt for food because I was too afraid The End would spot me and shoot at me; it happened before I went into hiding (You see him shoot you from [i]his[/i] POV, which is awesome). I must have been in the grass for five minutes, surveying his possible location with my sniper rifle. All of a sudden, I hear him talking, and I think to myself, "Wow, he sounds like he's [i]really[/i] close by." So, I unequipped the sniper rifle, and the first thing I see is The End standing right behind me. Naturally, I was shocked that he had snuck up on me, and as soon as I tried to move, he shot me in the head with a tranquilizer dart. I was knocked out, carried all the way back to a prison cell. I escaped, and made the trek all the way back to The End, to have another shot at him. I wasn't even angry when it happened. The fact that he snuck up on me was more impressive than infuriating. That moment left such an impression on me, that no other boss fight ever could possibly surpass. It's just simply the greatest boss fight of all time.
