Battlefield Vietnam is by far the best game for griefing. Forgotten by everyone else except the people that love it, it is extremely easy to cause massive amounts of drama. In Battlefield Vietnam there are transport helicopters that you can jump into and walk around in. As in all Battlefield games there's a certain subset of gamers that love using the helicopters and believe that they are more skilled than any other player in the history of mankind. Helicopter meet mortar. See, Battlefield Vietnam also includes deployable mortars which are actually small vehicles. The mortar has one interesting physics property - it wants to make contact with level ground any way that it can. Now, Dice were kind of smart when they implemented the mortar, they made it so you couldn't deploy the mortar on top of vehicles. Unfortunately it's extremely easy to work around this and the results are hilarious. So just before a freshly spawned helicopter takes off you jump into the back of it and deploy your mortar inside, before hopping out and watching from a distance. As the helicopter takes off it seems like nothing is happening at first, then eventually whoever is flying will try and bank a bit to turn. This means that the mortar - with its physics property of wanting to reach the ground - will move towards one of the walls of the helicopter, making that side of the helicopter also want to come into contact with the ground and increasing the helicopters bank. Eventually the bank will increase so much that the mortar will move onto the ceiling of the helicopter making the ceiling want to make contact with the ground. Essentially the helicopter goes up, flips, and hits the ground upside down. Of course the person flying knows that something was wrong with the helicopter, but try telling that to 4 or 5 angry team mates that have just died. Normally one person in particular will be spectacularly butt hurt about this, claiming that the pilot is a "nub" and insisting that they fly next. That's when you do it again. The inevitable explosion on chat is hilarious.
