I'm pretty good (har!) as a heavy in TF2, but I'm neither the best heavy nor really good in general.

I didn't mention TF2 since it's rediculously easy to counter-class someone in that game. Heavy camping the cart? Backstab time!

That said, i've seen some amazing players in my time. I've seen demomen hold up a cart single-handedly, heavies push the payload through the entire map in a single life, and Engineers stop an assault dead even with half a team spamming rockets at their sentry. Even though i wouldn't bet on it, i enjoy TF2 like no other

Of all the games I've played, I was probably best at Quake3. Nowhere near pro level, but I was pretty good. Unfortunately, I can't really spend enough time these days getting good at games.

I just read the second part of your post :/

I recommend Il-2 as a great combat flight simulator. Its WW2 but there are plenty of mods out there for it. Aces High is good as well if you dont mind paying the 15$ a month.

Dota (Warcraft 4 custom map)......so much of my HS life was spent in that game....haven't touched it in ages, but I bet I still got the old skills kicking around somewhere.

Red Orchestra hands-down. I've played in unofficial matches with two great clans in a match and did a lot to affect the victory. (And I'm not in a clan myself)

Any Total War game.
Bad Company 2.
Tekken 6.
Madden (but the game sucks Backbreaker FTW!)
Perhaps Vegas 2.
I'm pretty darn good at TF2.

Age of empires two. I wrote a knight rush guide. Yeah I like to think I was pretty damn good at that game.

I'm fantastic at rtw as well. And here's something reallyyyyyyyyy old school, civilization colonization.

Wow, it seems I am not the only one who was in love with AoE II. Wonderful game really and most of the tactics are applied to the MTW 1. Like the camels, and pikes vs. cavalry etc. Even the mercenaries and bribes. Yes, my favourite enemy (yes, enemy!) was the Persians because they allowed me to build an Imperial guard of elephants via spreading of the Orthodox religion (monks were my favourite unit, btw). Ah, yes, since the AoE II dates my love for the Byzantines. Wonderful game! I still play it occasionally.

Perhaps one of the greatest battle I had was a simulation of the Mongol invasion in AoE II. 3 vs 5 system on the Arabian map. My (the Byzantines) allies were the Chinese and the Persians, the enemy were 4 Mongol armies + 1 Turkish army. It was a very bloody victory. The Chinese seuffered the initial blow and although they survived, they had a ghostly existance until the end of the game, slowly recovering their population. The dirty work was done by me and the Persians. I remember the desert map just beautifully contrasted the pre-New year snow.

Yeah me too, playing it back in school will always be a fond memory. For me it would either be Quake 3 or Halflife 2: Deathmatch. I had become pretty good at that before I stopped.
