I can see in you stats that there is the ability to kill with grapple hooks/zip lines.  Has anyone done this or is it just the way it appears in your stats? 

If you have killed with either - let me know - it must be funny as hell to kill with a zip line,..

I'm not 100% sure, but I've always heard that you can't.

Yes Masterstyle posted a screenie in the Forklift kill thread where he and some other guy actually where killed by a grappling hook. But maybe he had just been doing some changes on his localization files..

Yes, for the millionth time, it is possible to get the server to display someone [GrapplingHook] someone else without changing any localization files.

1. Lay Claymore/AT mine.
2. Deploy grapple.
3. Climb grapple.
4. Remain on grapple until someone detonates and dies via said Claymore/AT mine.

OK I can underdstand that - would be cool if you could fire a zip line into someones chest though

Agreed.

I've wanted the ability to stomp on a prone sniper/MG's head since my Day of Defeat days.

There's a screenshot showing 'grappling hook' kills too.

All I want is to be able to use the grappling hook inventively.

Like dragging snipers off balconies, hitching rides on tanks/helis, and using it in conjunctuon with a chopper's rotor blades to hurl people across the map. (Hook on, get on the rope, spin up, then let go and pop the chute.) And maybe a melee attack with it. *splurtch* *rip* *splatter*

Or, of course, to be able to dangle things off the end. Hanging AT mines, lowering claymores onto squads from the roof, and tagging tanks with roped C4.

Yep. Do a search, there was a thread only recently.

Oh yeah, that ripping would be great...
Like SCORPION in the MORTAL KOMBAT series...
You see this guy lying on a roff, *zipline*, *pull*, *booming voice*"Come over here" and then a knife-pwn...

That would make the game fun...

thats still confusing though, because only snipers/engys can lay mines but they don't get the hooks...?  Now that would be sweet if a sniper planted claymores and got on a long zipline for the zip kill

That would be awesome! Think of this hypothetical situation, Your AT you're behind a wall and outta ammo, You have only your knife and Grapple, Theres an apc looking for you and a Blackhawk hovering above you, what do you do? Die? Surrender? Neither! You take the grappling hook latch on to the Blackhawk, It starts to rise you hold on for dear life, You pull yourself slowly up the rope into the heli, You see the feet of an enemy soldier, You pull him out of the heli the other soldiers look to see what happened, You transfer over to the other side right beneath them, You get on the heli push both of them out, Knife the 2 gunners, And go for the pilot, You kill him and take control if the Blackhawk, You land it right to the side of the apc switch to gunner position and tear it up!
You fly off to meet your teammates and save the day.

(Allright i admit is saw this in an action movie)

i have killed by landing on people so maybe you can kill by zip lining over them.

I haven't done it and I don't think you can with the grappling hook, but my clan mate speciallizes in getting kills with the zip line. I believe that you have to be pretty close when you do it. Like when you go for a knife, try using the zip line to get the kill instead.

I call BS.

Let me repeat what's in the linked-to thread: Chuy tells us there's no data for a zipline kill in the stats feed. That's gospel until some evidence comes along to the contrary, so your clanmate must either be mistaken or, well, you know the other option.

Give us his PID and we'll check his stats.

Same, i saw a commander in warlord, had about 4-5 go's at him directly witht the zip, but nothing, tried different spots too...

I haven killed any 1 else with them but I have fired the zip and for some reason been lunched off a building to my death.  Which caused me to have a major tantrum + shouting at SF.
