Been a memorable year in TT.

Even though I wasted a lot of hours/ time looking for a good game, there were some incredible moments/memories on the fields of scrum.

I recall one incredible pass by Major Pain and one amazing move by Azazel.

Major Pain's pass was in Team Scrum on one of frantic maps.

The goal was on a hill and the Major had the flag. As he so often does, MP was wandering around the goal waiting for a break so that he could make a move at it. (If you have played against him, you know the tactic too well.)

Unfortunately, he was having no luck since the other team kept spawning too well; so he was making a run away from the goal, toward his team. A number of us were driving toward him.

I was making a straight line for the goal and hit a bounce-up pad as MP was coming toward me, his back to the goal. He had a defender behind him and there was one other opposing team member near the goal. I was at the height of the bounce and MP stopped in a small valley and waited, the opposing team was shooting him up as he waited.

I don't know how he got the location so right, but he set up so that I landed right on top of him, took the flag, and then bounced over the other team's player that was behind him. I had room to maneuver and I ran around a rock and jumped into the goal. I was mortally afraid that I would blow the amazing assist and not score. Someone said G1 to me for the goal. I was so stunned at MP's incredible pass that I couldn't even type a response and the game moved on quickly. MP finally said, "What about that pass?" Man, it was incredible. G1 MP!

The second was Az in a game of indy scrum on Medulla Mesa.

The goal was on the grass by the trees. There were five or six players either crowding the goal or on the hill beside it. Az was running toward the goal, angling up the hill in a curve. He flew up in the air enough at the top of the hill that he landed on top of one tank, spinning a 360 turn as he went. Then he skipped on the tops of one or more other tanks (it happened fast) and went through the goal. Absolutely amazing.

Well I don't remeber all the details but we had a full house in MM mods one night.
ok here is what I posted that night after the games !

Some very hard, fast games ! With some major Blood Baths at theGoal ! Goals that seem to take for ever and a year to make, some sweet swish shots,unreal moves and passes,The Hale Mary Pass from Max to me all the way on the other side of map for a 3 second jog to the goal to win the game(some one had blocked Max on a speed arrow on the far side off the map ! I was just killed 2 seconds before hand and spawned at the goal, next thing I know 5 seconds are left on the clock game is tied up and Max starts screaming "PASS" ! Right after max screamed "Pass" he dies but for some reason who ever blocked and killed him the scrum didn't stick ! It soared throught the air all the way across the map straight at me ) Last but not least the High Flying Acrobatic Moves that would of even made God say," OMG ! " Well there is mine, there are so many more but that is the one that sticks out in my mind ! B)

LW!

If you hit an arrow pad right , you can slam into a player carrying the flag and the flag sails a Hail Mary mile like that. And it is especially nice if you catch it near the goal and score, eh?!

Man it was awsome, for a split second there I forgot we were playing scrum ! :P

There were so many memorable scoring drives, but the best one by far was the one by 44 that I dedicated an entire thread to several months ago!
I can't find it on here (and there is still NO search feature!), but it's on here. 44 was smoking and facing 9 opponents camping the goal on a hill.
He did several circles around everyone and used the arrow pad to fly backwards up a hill and into the goal. Awesome stuff.

The other memorable thing about TT2004 were all of the incredible Team Scrum games that Demolition, Sniper and I played recently.
The same with Memphis. Whenever we played together, we never seemed to lose (as a matter of fact, we usually dominated with scores like 19-4 and 18-5, etc.).

Other highlights for 2004 were the fresh new MODs from MM, Dash and Rooster! They renewed the game for us all!

I just thought of another one ! Was no really great scoring drives but it was some of the best team work I have seen yet ! It was Gladiator, Fried Chicken & me (as SmokeSome) vs. 5 others ! Here is a picture from that match it only shows the scores !

As you can see by the names there the out come should of been the other way around ! B)

@Wolf
Yes! That was one of the best ts games I've ever played in. We were outnumbered (4 of them were very good scrummers) and the score did not reflect how intense it was! The three of us worked extremely well together as if we've played many times before!!! Sadly, that was our first and last time as a team.

Hey I am more then willing to get together and practice, play or take a run at the Champs ! Just drop me a line on when you want to hook up ! B)

If you have played sports, you have memories of good plays that you relish over the years.

It's odd to me that I am recalling some of the good TT plays in the same way that I recall my football or basketball memories.

MP's pass is ranked up there with the time I took an option quarterback's pitch-out and ran 60 yards for a touchdown in a high school. I was playing outside linebacker/defensive end...

Or the time in basketball that I and another player sky-ed over the rim and alley-ooped the ball in together.

Can this be good, though!!! Does this mean that staring at a computer monitor too long has altered my brain memory capabilities or what?! Actually, maybe my DNA is altering as I play and I am evolving into a new species... Humanus Neurosia TT or something. Where is 56K's head-wrap? ;)

LMAO :P

I believe the most amazing thing I've seen was when Tally swiped the scrum from me in midair on Freudian Flats. I was was going to launch from the arrow on the back side of that penninsula (for lack of better description) near the ammo gate. When I hit the arrow (which was, in retrospect, at the wrong angle...) I saw Tally hit the bounce pad in front of the ammo gate at the same time & we collided in midair. All of my forward energy (& the scrum!) was transferred to Ho, who was bumped in the direction of the goal & eventually scored. Plenty of people have knocked the scrum from someone by waiting above the arrow for the hapless scrum carrier who launches into them, but I'd never seen this act of aerial thievery performed before or since!

O dude, I remember after the goal, we were both like, no freaking way :).
That was hilarious. We couldn't believe what happened.
It's one thing to time a pad for a steal, but doing it into the air....
I don't think I've seen/done it since either.
