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 think I know the place, luckily I flew there so I didn't have to go through that hassle, but there should have been a blueprint's box and lost treasure. You'll have to go back up and see... :P

it's such a great game it needs to be multiplayer. with two x-boxes and a co-op mode, it'd be reason enough to lose a job or fail a degree.

It's like the bit in The Longest Day when they go to destroy the biggest gun and then find out it hasn't been installed yet!
Mabye something nasty'll turn up there later and I'll have to go do it again: if so... uh... FIX!!! :D

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.

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.
