-500 points in 5 seconds, or, why I play Battlefield
Post Body

Hey Reddit, I'd like to share something that happened to me in a game last night:

We're defending on Atacama desert (one of my favorite maps, it plays to DICE's vehicle strengths)

Anyways, I'm tired of them suicide-ATVing the objective, so I placed a antitank mine pretty far in front of the building containing the MCOM. Sure enough, pretty soon some kid cruises down on a quad covered in C4, planning to suicide the objective, hits my mine, the quad catapults into the building and explodes, which collapses the building.

Since my mine set off his C4 which set off the destruction 2.0, I got -250 for destroying the station, and negative points for half my team dying when the building collapsed on them.

I couldn't even get angry about it, because it was SO COOL. These types of moments are why I play Battlefield. The hallmark of the Battlefield series is these user-created moments, which could be the finale cinematic set-piece of other games.

When you're running up a hill and a plane buzzes inches from your face, shooting out from the other side of the hill, skimming the grass.

When a tank shoots a helicopter out of the air that was trying to roadkill you, and it flips forward over your head and crashes into the building behind you.

And yes, when a quad bike hits a mine, flies through the air and collapses a building and wins the round, giving some poor schmuck on the other team -500 points.
