Preface: I was playing at a LAN party last night and most of the people started leaving as it was getting around 3 in the morning (work, wives, etc, so they couldn't just stay there until 6am like I did). So the people that did stay at the party just decided to fuck around and not actually play seriously.
Story: We were on snowbound, doing rocket slayer when this happened. If your at the "base" thats shown in the map image for snow bound there are two cylinder objects coming out of the snow near a auto-turret. Next to those there are two covie supply crates and I think what is suppose to be a covie radio tower. I was heading that way with a ghost, while my friend was heading that way to, but at a 90degree angle relative to me and that covie setup. He ended up jumping out from behind the base, saw me and started tracking me with his rocket launcher. I was already boosting towards the tower in hopes of blowing my ghost and myself up because of the pretty explosion effects that result from collisions with high velocity objects and high energy tech. Well, then I saw him too, and was hoping to get a 'twofer' and blow him, my ghost and myself up from crashing into the radio tower.
What happened: Well, somehow he fired his rocket right as he was aligned with the radio tower's pole and instead of hitting me, it hit the actual pole, killed him (he was like 2ft away from the pole) and I believe caused the tower to lean over into a position that caused me to miss hitting the base and causing some pretty explosion effects. 'Twas sad for what I missed, but that was quickly antidoted with his own death, and the look of his body's posture when it hit the snow, face first. He called it, The Ostrich Faceplant.Enjoy.
