Death by TNT Crate ... - by Rolander

I am sure everyone creative (plus malicious plus whatever) made excellent uses of the abundance of TNT crates scattered all over the Story game.
This happened in a Multiplayer net game.
One night I connectted for a net game for some fun. I normally experience a lag of 500 ms if not much worse so naturally in headtohead skirmishes I was always getting steamrolled.
One day in the Vanderburg (Command?) mulitplayer map, I walked up a flight of stairs rarely used by most. At a landing overlooking a passageway below, I found 2 TNT crates.
Being a little childish, I picked up one of them and lobbed it over the railing down to the passageway below. I heard a nice "booom" and giggled a bit. I then noticed there was only one more crate so I decided to throw it too and be done with it ...
... when I threw the second crate, another player just happened to be down there by the passageway ... :wot:
That poor guy was killed by me with a TNT crate ... :eww: I only wish that I had a screenshot of that moment ...
From then on, every time I saw a TNT crate in MP games, I will pick it up and find somewhere to throw :angel:

Other creative ways to kill people:
1) Get on a high ledge and drop on to their heads.
2) Drop a heavy object on their heads.
3) Shove a poison barrel into a doorway, tap it to start it leaking, and watch as enemies who try to come through get hung up and choke to death on the fumes.

Y'know it is a pity that in DX the Lifting Aug does not allow JC to throw TNT Crates and barrels at a considerable range.
Otherwise...
MJ12 Trooper: INCOMING!
Toxic gas barrel flies overhead ...
MIB: I wasn't notified that Denton has the capability to use unconventional missiles ...
TNT Crate lands in the midst of a squad of Troopers ... now gibbed.
WIB: Attention! Denton may have advanced projectile lobbing ability ...
WIB got crushed by a Large Metal Crate.
MIB: Noted.
Meanwhile, JC Denton finds the wreakage of a car ...

6) Cripple as many limbs as you can without actually killing them. Sometimes enemies will drop their weapons and run.
But that's just my sadistic side.:devil:

Giving JC super hurling strength was one of the things I made sure to add. It's a lot of fun hurling the patrol boat around Liberty Island :D

I prefere lobbing basket balls at them until they keel over from the dreaded Shaq Attack.
