So earlier today I was playing a game of Firefight Doubles on Corvette with a random. I'm sitting back and sniping, as usual, he's cycling weapons between spawns. At the time of the, um, incident, he was rocking the shotgun.
The wave is Brutes and Grunts (Arcadefight NEP). I see a squad advancing across the center, the Brute flanked wide by three Grunts. I do a quick zoom in, take aim, and land a perfect headshot on the Brute; he does a nice reverse backflip and that's that.
I un-scope and see my partner was going for the same target; he's most of the way out in the middle, about 10 feet from the now dead Brute; I didn't see him beacuse I was scoped. Problem is, all three Grunts went into suicide mode when the Brute dropped, forming a tight triangle - with him in the center.
Instantly, six grenades from the Grunts, several scattered on the ground from the last wave and the one the Brute dropped go off. (Pretty sure the ones my poor partner subsequently dropped chained in as well.) Took a few seconds for the explosions to die down and I see his corpse pinwheel down from the ceiling at the far corner of the screen.
I felt bad, but was laughing, hard.
Totally the sort of thing I'd take clips of were rendering still around, or a story post if I could. Alas, text is what you get. It was hilarious. I suspect he didn't find it quite as amusing, though.
