    Exploding Barrel

    Concept »

    An environmental hazard that can be exploited to inflict massive areal damage, exploding barrels are one of the most ubiquitous objects to be found in games. The most common methods of ignition include shooting and throwing. Exploding barrels are usually distinguished from the non-exploding kind by a conspicuous red tint.

    Best exploding barrels ever?

    Which game do you guys think has the best exploding barrels? Try to think of all the aspects: sound,flames,shrapnel,deadliness.
    My favorite are probably the orange cores/barrels in Halo 2. they made a great sound and would send bodies flailing into the sky.

    Battlefield: Bad Company 2 had some nice barrel-exploding action.

    Half Life 2 any day, especially when they're in the distance with a good sound system and they're all like BOOM... BOOM... boom... boom.

    They may not look or sound the best, but the way you can interact with them is unmatched.
