XCOM: Enemy Unkown.
My most skilled and trusted soldier, Major Hans Berger, the only rookie to survive the scripted tutorial, died in the most honourable way possible.
He had been taking point the whole of the assault on the alien's base in South America (i think that was where it was).
Then a routine action went wrong. Spot enemies, watch them take cover, shoot them. This particular pod consisted of two Chrysalids and a Muton Berserker (the red melee guy).
My turn had just ended. I watched as Hans took a brutal blow from the berserker and somehow survived two more melee attacks from the Chrysalids. Then it was my turn. Hans was boxed in. He physically could not move. And so, he gave his life for the good of humanity. Pulling out his rocket launcher Hans had the last laugh.
So did I, actually. Physics glitches out and everyone was flung to the far corners of the map.
Can't wait to recreate it in XCOM 2.

3 consecutive melees? That's badass. My guys regularly miss at 95% hit chance.

I remember one of Hans' darkest moments... Failing a 99% on a -blam!-ING Sectoid

I had an assault dude not 4 tiles from a chrysalid and he missed twice with his shotgun, once at 95% and again at 97%. It was also in the alien base, coincidentally.
