What is the most fun you have had in NS2?

I keep seeing too many 'feedback' type threads (the kind where opinions clash and argument is raised on a specific topic), and it's kinda got me down. Don't get me wrong: this is a beta and we are meant to give feedback, but I think we need to have a 'light' thread to cool off and share stories.

So -- what is the most fun you have had in NS2? It could be a specific experience, a realization, or anything that made you say "Wow, that was fun!"

For me, the most fun I have had is with the Onos. I was on the Alien side, and we were about to lose. Quickly before our third Hive fell, I evolved into an Onos. While the Marine team was burning infestation and throwing creep onto my beloved Hive, I was barreling toward the Marine base. After ducking through the hallways (you often get stuck), I reached the Marine base and ran up to the Command Station. Using my giant gorilla-like front paws, I smashed the Command Station and we won right before the Marines killed the last Hive. Sure, it was a cheesy win, but it was definitely the most fun I have had so far in NS2.

What about you? What is the most fun you have had?

    Huge lerk killstreaks are really fun.
    Getting a pub team that can actually coordinate and pull off big pushes is also great. Just now, a bunch of us corralled some new players through a phase gate and shot up a hive. I think they got the picture about how NS works pretty quickly from that :)

    Perfectly locking down a room with a phase gate, armory and turrets with MACs is cute too.

    At the moment nothing compares to the experiences I have had in NS1, however so far I have been really enjoying the new fade, (as opposed to the ghost shadow instant teleport fade), this new version is so much better and just a blast to play.

    Had some pretty awesome games on the 420 clan server, learning how to use skulks and doing double gassing runs w/lerk with a friend has been great. I really like this game. And I gotta say shotgun spiking people in the back is awesome. There hasn't been an fps game in years I've been able to play for 4 hours straight (other than games from like 2003).

    First game of 194 last night on mineshaft is probably the most fun I've had to date.

    Game had been running a while already when I joined, marines controlled most of the map, onos' roaming everywhere just seemed a matter of time. However they couldn't quite break the marine base and some good teamwork on the marine side kept on managing to push and take down the odd hive. 2 hours or so passed with us jp/pg rushing hives before being pushed back and the hive being rebuilt, people screaming at each other over comms, etc etc and we finally managed to win. T'was great.

    comming in b193. almost every marine had voice, and everyone followed instructions. we dominated the entire game and i didn't build a single sentry until the aliens were pinned to 1 hive.

    I was marine commander last night on mineshaft(g, if anyone remember?) and was lucky to have a team that was willing to communicate. We got res up quick and locked down 3 techpoints before starting an huge push that in the end took out all the 3 alien hives! It was a blast and everyone did a great job!

    Jetpash rushes on Summit are pretty awesome to behold, just needs Ride of the Valkyries playing to complete the scene. Just a couple of hours ago there was a tense moment in Mineshaft where the phase-gate got destroyed leaving me to defend a command chair while my team-mates rushed to back me up, I had no idea where they due to the jetpack map glitch and they arrived just when things started to get out of control.
