What I'm talking about is that you are so close to glory then something incredibly unlucky happens ex. lag, flying mongoose, banshee part splatters you, etc. or perhaps you have been on the verge of getting an amazing perfecting then you accidently commit suicide......
I accidentally a whole flag one time. It was really sucky. I was carrying the flag, then I accidentally the whole flag. My team yelled at me for a while. It was on Narrows to, so if I accidentally the flag, then we lose it. Plus, it was at the ending half minute or so, and there was no way we could get the flag back in time.

I accidentally the bomb one time during an assault game in valhalla. I was in the warthog and we were like 15 feet from the base and I accidentally the bomb. We were in sudden death so it accidentally a tie game.
I was on the bottom floor of Guardian and I threw a sticky into the gold lift. I waited a second then went up the lift. For some reason my sticky was still there and it stuck me. Suicide.
This was on Standoff. So there I was, on the left Dish side of the red base. You know, by the Needler and Bubble shield. I picked up the needler. And I was like,"yea." Then two people on a mongoose come racing towards me. So Im like,"LOLOLOLLOLOOLOL!" And I starting spraying all my pink needles at the mongoose they were on. Like a million needles were on the goose and I thought it would surely asplode. And it did, but it didnt. Yes the needles caused an explosion, but it didnt hurt any of them. Instead the explosion caused caused them to have an ENORMOUS TURBO CHARGED BOOST. They went at like LIGHT SPPPEEEEEEEDD!!!!!! Straight at me. I had no time to react. I was confused, and apalled that such a thing would happen to me. I mean, I never fail this bad, ever. As I saw the goose now 5 inches above the ground and accelerating constantly at 500 mps, I thought to myself. IM GOING TO BE ON HIS MONTAGEEEEE!!!!!NNNOOOOOO!!!!!!! I was splattered, surely. With enough force to send my body, sliding on the dirt all the way back to invis. SADFACE.
Hmmm i have had lots of fails but my dumbest one was in a game of Splockets on rats nest. I got on the mongoose for quick transport to the middle. nobody was there so i kept going until i saw a blue person on another mongoose. He saw me to and we both jumped off our mongooses. This player had terrible aim not getting anywhere near me when he shot his rocket. So anyway i shot at him. I lowered his shields and blew up his mongoose. Problem was the mongoose came flying at me and SPLAT i was dead and he got the kill
I went over the big air lift on Narrows and threw a sticky grenade at 2 guys in the middle next to the fusion coils. I got a double kill then got to the other side and was right behind their whole team. I got about two more kills, then I got too excited and started missing my shots and in the end died. I was so angry. Lots of times this happens, it seems. Another time I threw a power drain in the lift at narrows, then in mid air I threw a grenade at the other side. I got a triple kill, then came out to the last guy who was just standing there. I waited there thinking, man this is awesome, when all the sudden he turns around and kills me. It sucked also.
