When I either submit defeat and re-use the previous animation or find/make a better one.

Once shot somebody from across the map in Halo 2 with blind luck. Granted, I was in the tank, so that wasn't too impressive in and of itself, but the game told me I had sniped my opponent. Laughs were had.

Another time on Halo 2, in the stage with the train (Terminal, iirc), friend of mine fired a rocket launcher. Misses me, and I manage to kill him right after that. He respawns a few seconds later, and immediatly suicides. Like, before there was even time to throw grenades to kill himself. Turns out the rocket hit him just as he spawned.

Still Halo 2; start of a standard capture-the-flag game on Coagulation/BloodGulch where I'm on Blue Team. I take gunner on the Warthog, friend of mine rides shotgun, my brother drives. We're approaching the Red team base, and a grenade explodes from under us.

We go flying.

After a second or two of doing barrel rolls in the air, we land directly on top of Red teams base, with the Warthog poised and ready to drive away. I hop out, land inside the base, throw the flag up to my friend. He hops back in the Warthog, and I go into the basement and hide. Nobody sees me. The Warthog makes it back to base, scores the flag, and begins a return trip. NOBODY is inside the base, so I grab the flag as the Warthog starts to get near, and hop in as it pulls up. We ended up ahead 2-0 in less than 2 minutes, and the Red team all ragequit right after that.

Fun times, that Halo 2. Shame I don't play many multiplayer games >.>

Since rocket launchers stories seem to be so very popular, I do recall a time back in Alien vs Predator 2 where in a level featuring a dropship bay, I fired a rocket into the bay corner on general principle because I am a suspicious sort.

Dead predator fell down.

Huzzah for paranoia!

Oh, and I managed to shoot down an airplane in Unreal with a tank cannon once. Not too shabby!

More rocket launcher fun: My favorite kill I ever was awarded was on TF2. A demoman and soldier dropped down right in front of me from a higher platform. I was a pyro. I reflexively reflected a rocket back towards the soldier. It was a crit and it killed them both.

Soldier: "...well played."

I had to explain that I just got lucky.

I've managed to have two soldiers shoot rockets at me, one was a crocket. I apparently killed the one who shot the crocket with the other one and vice-versa, as I didn't get the "kill a soldier with his own reflected crit rocket" achievement. As a Heavy, I once got saved from getting sniped by a cloaked spy. Sniper was aiming for my head and the spy jumped and got headshot'd, but saved me. He didn't plan on it, though. He made sure to point it out that I owed him.
