Just post your coolest/scariest/epicest/funniest ZED time moment! :D

One of my recent ones would be on Icebreaker, 6-man game. The wave started and we spotted a fleshpound. We had no sharpie on the team. A random commando started a long chain of ZED-time and the fleshie just raged and ran at us all in slow motion. All fire was directed at the fleshie and he just got closer and closer and BOOM, a big puff of smoke from a demoman's grenade.

From where I was standing, I could see the Fleshie enter and dissappear in the cloud of smoke, and then I saw his arm emerge from the other side. The guy who watching watching the fleshie charge at him hastily reloaded as he saw the arm appear from the smoke, believing that he was gonna get beaten to a pulp until he saw that the arm was detached from the owner and just flopped down to the ground.

Normal time resumed, which was the cue for the chorus to Disunion 2!

The six of us were like:

There was one I remember in the first few days of playing KF, that a massive grenade spam in the biggest room in KF-Manor caused 20 ZEDs (including a fleshie) to attach to the ceiling as if they were magnetised. :rolleyes:

One particular moment I remember when playing as a level 5 commando on offices on hard, I had a really tough day punching my stomach continually that day, and I really felt depressed and simply wanted to kill stuff in order to "socialize" again. And then there was this extended ZED time, where I managed to pull off around twenty headshot kills with my Scar, pulling shot after shot, dismembering clots, gorefasts, one or two stalkers and some crawlers along the lines. I managed to get around 550 kills on a five to six player game and we won. I raged through the map, and after that I felt a little better.

One time a raged FP was coming towards me and i only had a LAW..lol
he was too close for the rocket to explode so i just aimed at his head, zed time kicked in as i shot and the rocket decapitated him, BEAST.

And i think its nice when you pull off 3 headshots with the pistol in one zed time, with the 3 specimens spaced out, not in a line.

This is a classic one;

In my begginings (sharpshooter lvl3-4, before levelup pack) I was running around with dual handcannons. Most awesomest weapon to have during ZED-time. The map was Biolab, and I was at that long hall with the trader.

So, there's a horde of clots in front of me. Like, 20-30. Some distant commando triggers zed-time.

I get all fuzzy inside when I start shooting my fully loaded handcannons onto those evil clots. Heads start to pop. Each bullet coming out of my handcannons decapped AT LEAST one clot. It was raining brains.

Zed-time ended, there was one decapped clot walking around mindlessly, and 20+ dead bodies on the floor.

It was awesome.

Will re post this one :)

I remember a time when I a fairly new player (Only a level 2 medic) and I span round and saw a clot right in my face. At that moment someone else triggered ZED time a fraction before I 1 deaged it up its notrils with the handcannon at point blank range.

To this day I remember seeing its face vanish and its eyes and brain stood still in place for 1/8 of a second before rocketting up into the air in a bloody shower...

I think I wept tears of joy for the rest of the game :)

ZED time can be a lifesaver for some.

Playing on KF-Departed, after entering the office building just after we spawn, we have a fairly normal fight. There was one difference, though--there was a Level 2 berzerker on the team. I turn round to check on him and I see that he's got around 10 HP left and a group of gorefasts right on him. He begins running towards us for saftey in slo-mo and I put up my single handcannon and make a chain of headshots on those nasty lil' buggers. :mad: Brains and chips of skull fly everywhere and blood splatters on the walls and floor surrounding the doorframe. As the headless gorefasts slump to the ground, normal time resumes. Our support spec starts welding the door and our medic heals the poor little berzerker. :)

Another time, KF-Manor, one bit of ZED time saved all of us. We were all playing commandos, with bullpups and we walk out of a cave (closest to the trader, opposite the docks) and we kill this one lone gorefast. ZED time triggers. We look to the left of us and see a HUGE mob of clots, gorefasts and stalkers marching down to us from a slope. Each player has a full map in their 'pups and we all let rip at once. There's a massive hail of bullets resulting in a spray of blood and brains. All in the glory of ZED-time. :D

That's the truth. I like to play in the middle of the action. I like to play in a style that if I miss two important shots in a row, I'll die. ZED time has helped a ton. I usually play sharpshooter, but if the team doesn't have a commando, I'll switch just to have the extensions.

If you decapitate a stalker just right at ZED time, you'll see her bugeyed face fly right into your face.

Behind You!
believing that he was gonna get beaten to a pulp until he saw that the arm was detached from the owner and just flopped down to the ground.

LOL! Now thats epic slowmotion moment.

Ive had a dozen of similar moments but now that I think of it, I cant seem to remember anything. Except for one..

After I just finished a long game on normal with knife only, I bought a katana for the Patriarch wave because I didnt quite believe I had much change against him with the knife. Anyway, I let him blow up a few rockets on himself first, then I engaged him with my blade >:O. He went down quickly and tried to escape to heal but I was blocking him. At some moment he tried to jump over this window frame but at the very moment I slashed his head off and he got launched in the air in comical matter. Ofc this triggered zed-time and I kept slashing EVERY limb off his body while he was still in the air. When he finally landed on the ground there was only a torso left xD, the rest of his body parts scattered around it.

Edit: OH and LOL at the vid

i actually had 2 of these yesterday.

the first was on offices, we had 3 people at the rubbel shooting at front, and 2 low levels welding the door. a husk appears in the door and right as he shoots his fire ball it goes into zed time and in unison all 3 of us at the front line leap over the fire ball only to have it hit the support specialist who backed off from the door as he recharged. it was just awesome in zed time looking and seeing 3 ppl in the air with a fireball underneath them.

the other one was on arcade skatepark. i was playing beserker. im covering one of the doorways in the main room, when a husk appears. as i run over to go cut his head off, im about 2 strides away from him and he fires a fireball at my feet, and it goes zed time while im in mid air. as im in mid air i manage to land on top of a gorefasts head, and at the exact moment i land on his head i decapitate him with my katana. at that time i felt like i was doing a rocket jump in team fortress 2, i have never went so high from a fireball.

I'm playing with my buddy, as a lvl6 commando. He shouts over the skype (we prefer it to in-game chat) that he needs help pronto because he's overwhelmed. He was a support and just unloaded everything and switched to 9MM. I couldn't help him as I had lots of zeds chasing me and he was around the corner, but thankfully one of my SCAR headshots triggered zed time. I waited between each kill the max amount of time, just on the edge of exiting slowmo, and extended it 4x, shouting "Hope this helps!" on the mic. It helped, as he had time to take precise headshots with his 9mm and we both survived.

Commando's and berzerker's ZED-time triggers are very handy if you have to go AFK. :D

6 - Man suicidal - Bio Lab - Tenth wave
We were on the last wave, and without a medic. There were two lv6 Sharps with Xbows and a lv6 Support who had raped all the way through the ten waves with his shotgun + AA12, and I had my friend as lv6 Firebug with another lv5 Commando. I had just turned lv6 zerk a match before and apart from a fluke solo pass on Farm I had NEVER passed suicidal before in a long match.

Anyway, we got down to the last 100 and I still had half my armour left though everyone else's had gone. We lost the sharps due to a concentrated fire of about five husks :( and the Support pissed off about three Fleshpounds when it got to about 47 zeds left. ZED time saw the Support turn into a gibbering bag of crimson along with my mate and the commando who had started Zed time. The commando got rid of all the other zeds but was killed by a gang of crawlers, all in Zed time (it was really long, but so much happened in a few seconds!). I kept the zed time going yet I could see the last injured FP running towards me bright red. Last man left I charged in, and with one swing of my katana, I decapitated the metal beast as the music kicked in.

ZED time ended and I promptly murdered everything else standing as the wave ended. It was so cool :)

On the same match I had another cool moment: We then faced the Patriarch afterwards, my senses buzzing, and again one by bloody one we all got nailed and I was the last left. As I chopped away at the clots ZED time kicked in again, and Mr. P came out of nowhere to my right and for some bizarre reason, I dunno if he was wounded or not, but one swing of my katana at his head and he just like slumped to the ground with no ZED time extension, yet it was so bloody awesome I nearly hit my ceiling in joy :D It's not perhaps the 'coolest' moment in the history of KF but it was on suicidal so it felt ten times more awesome.

You properly tried this one as well, but having a scrake flying cause of the double barrel is cool. But 2 and in zed time is even more epic!

I was playing with a friend on Office. it was on hard and we were like in 4th wave before there joined more. At about round 6-7 there sudden came 2 scrakes (We were holding up on 2nd floor, where all the doors are. We were standing pretty much in the middle), and one came from one side and another one from the other. Me and my friend were both supporter and funny enough the team attacked both so they suddenly ran towards us so I just reacted out of reflex by pulling the double barrel and alt-fire the Scrake in the face, but at the same time my friend also did, but because it ran towards him and then attacked the dude behind him, he faced to fly towards us, so I trigger the zed time and suddenly, I see 2 scrakes flying xD

I remember on a custom map suicidal server 2 of us were medics, 4 were commandos, all level 6's. we were running across a room that seemed to be a bar when a fleshpound and a clot appeared behind the counter of the bar from a door of the right of it.

3 of the 4 commandos has scars, 1 had an ak, other 2 medics had the mp7 ready, a single scar pop from one of the commandos killed the clot and it went into zed time, Everyone opend up in automatic fire, shell casings fell upon the floor like a waterfall. The fleshpounds head blew to chunk and was killed; We did not stop firing.

The headless body was jutting violently left and right as the rounds were entering into his body as well as some of the rounds that missed were hitting the bar shelves behind it, beer and booze bottles shattered and exploded and puffs of smoke erupted around the body when some of the rounds hit the wood frame too as it slumped agenst the shelf and then slid down on its arse with its legs sprawled.

From that day on, I have never loved killing floor as much then as I do now.
