I was playng instagib the other day when I totally owned some guys when they lined up and I instagib'ed 4 people in a row!
So I was running around and a spammed a rocket into a door and it slapped this poor sucker in the face. I then jumped off the top of the level and instagibbed him with my railgun as I was falling. Dont think he had time to blink!
