In a mobile rocket launcher with NK passengers - one on the gun. We spy an enemy, ram him and he drives off, we chase. My bloke fires at the vehicle, but we're going downhill and we go past our own rocket! Then we ram the enemy up a small ramp, they fly up into the air, we brake, the rocket hits him mid-air, he explodes and the debris + bodies fall down into a canyon. Yes.
Place C4 on a car. Get in a helicopter and winch the car in the air. Fly towards the enemy, but release quite early with plenty of swing. Car goes miles, crash helicopter and jump out. Car bounces down the road, whip out the detonator and BOOM!
Surgically striking the wrong buildings...
Placing a pile of cars and a helicopter on a pile of C4. I couldn't find the helicopter afterwards, and one of the cars went clean over a building and landed on someone.
Placing C4 in the road, driving fast towards it, jumping out and detonating as he car passes over.
Winching a UN armoured car in a helicopter that isn't powerful enough to lift it properly - you can squish people all over the roads.
Winching cars full of NK soldiers, then throwing them at other helcopters and into the sea/bridges/buildings/anything.
This game rules more than anything. Looks great, plays great, and the explosions are phenomonal.

I tried using the winch on one of those large Allied transport choppers in mid air on an inflight NK chopper. It was working fine at first, the driver of the other chopper turned his blades off, then suddenly he had a spasm and flew straight up into the bottom of my helicopter and we both crashed.
There was another time when I flew up to the top of a building and planted 4 pieces of C4 on the roof. Just as I was about to fly off and blow it up some tw@t started shooting me, thinking I'd changed my weapon to sniper rifle I go to shoot him back but instead blow the C4 up with me standing on top of it. My guy flew fooking miles up in the air along with my helicopter which looked hella funny.
Oh and last night I lined up about 10 Lorries in the middle of a road. Got one of the Korean Delivery trucks and planted 8 bits of C4 on the back then drove it into the lorries and blew it up.
Oh and using those Allied transport choppers to lift up buses is a hell of a lot of fun. Specially making them fly off into buildings or dropping them on pedestrians.

Many many great momens, just abit pieced off trying to do the first ace contract.
when it touched me intimately and told me it was 'our little secret'
I had an excellent moment where I spotted a T-54, an NK Sangri Scout and a handful of troops at the top of a hill. I was in a Chinese Land-Rover-esque Scout. They were pointing away from me, but rather than waste RPG rounds on them, I thought I'd be seriously cheeky and drive around the road block.
The grin was wiped from my face when I hit some uneven ground and landed the Jeep upside down, about 5 metres in front of the T-54. Profanity was expressed at the ridiculously none-urgent way my character went about getting out of the doomed wreckage. Several seconds later and a tank round sent me straight to hell.
It's one of them games where even losing is sometimes fun.

I'm afraid not.
Simple one:
Driving up and down a small hill then half way up another being tailed by the chinese whilst rescuing a hostage.
I jumped out, the truck carried on for about 20/30m and over the hill comes the little chinese vehicle looking like an airport luggage thing that drives people through airports.
Anyway I have my sniper-rifle shoot the driver as it comes over the hill and as the vehicle swerves out of control I take out the gunner.
The whole thing went off with a SAS style of military precision it was very movie-like. I was dead chuffed as I got in to the van again and me and the hostage cooly drove off.
Not very destructive, just very cool and filmic.
Other than that:
Taking down a card whilst he was being filmed by a camera crew. I stealthily sniped the guard patrolling round the filimg without raising the alarm then sneaked up behind the card and took him down right on camera!
Sitting in the bushes, like Sam Fisher, doing air strikes on a mafia controlled zone because I felt like it. Levelled two city blocks worth of buildings with precision strikes.
