1 | * Basically any time the Frostbite 2 destruction engine is given a chance to shine: |
2 | ** The earthquake in Kurdistan that levels dozens of buildings and collapses on top of the player character. |
3 | ** The antenna/tower that falls during the attack on the paratroops. |
4 | ** "Comrades" is a great example, especially during the fight through the EURONEXT building. You can pretty much tear the whole building apart. |
5 | * The beginning of "Going Hunting." If [[SilentProtagonist Hawkins]] wasn't humming the theme to ''Film/TopGun'' it's likely you were. |
6 | -->So get your fangs out, Hawkins. We're hunting big game today. |
7 | ** Admit it, your jaw dropped when you saw that Su-27 pull a [[DodgeByBraking Pugachev's Cobra]] right in front of you. |
8 | ** While the mission itself is divisive, it cannot be denied that the opening setpiece is ''amazing'', especially when the Super Hornet shoots down the cat, climbs, and the Battlefield 3 theme kicks in. |
9 | * The ''entirety'' of "Thunder Run." You start off at the gunner seat of your M1 Abrams with the rest of your company rolling alongside to the sound of SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic. Chewing up T-72's that are dumb enough to get in your way, blowing up a battery of BM-21 rocket artillery, and rolling into the outskirts of Tehran, blowing the PLR straight to hell. The whole level is one big [=CMoA=]. |
10 | * Dmitri "Dima" Mayakovsky. Everything this guy does is awesome, from the HALO jump at the start of 'Kaffarov' to surviving a nuke, this guy is badass. |
11 | * On the multiplayer front, a patch released alongside Back to Karkand allows the huge radio tower on Caspian Border to fall. When one side only has 10 tickets left, the losing team will enact a DesperationAttack and perform an air strike on the tower. Watching the ensuing damage is pure awesome. |
12 | * Also on the multiplayer front, some of the crazy stunts you can pull. In particular, the [[FanNickname [=RendeZook=]]], which consists of ejecting from a plane when dogfighting, shooting the enemy plane with a bazooka and hopping back into your own plane to continue the flight. It is as much of a LuckBasedMission as it is a feat of skill, but when you pull it off, you look like a badass. |
13 | ** And then someone took the [=RendeZook=] and did something even more awesome. As the player in question, Stun_gravy, said in the video description, "[[CoolPlane SU-35BM]] hot on my tail. Javelin missiles locked on from the ground. Flares wouldn't do any good. There was only [[BlatantLies one reasonable option.]]" Said "reasonable option" was ejecting from his doomed jet, [[OneHitKO oneshotting]] the pilot following him with a sniper rifle [[BoomHeadshot headshot]], and then ''jumping into the dead pilot's plane as he fell past it.'' Words hardly do this one justice; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrOIgxQ--Tc here's]] the moment in all its glory. |
