- You can use it to stick two enemies together, forcing them in an eternal bro-hug.
- You can whip an enemy into the air, then juggle him with bullets.
- You can pull down giant statues of presumably evil dictators.
- You can attach a man to the back of a small, personal jet, like a can fastened to the back of an automobile carrying a newlywed couple.

We've seen a great deal of media for Just Cause 2 which shows the protagonist's physics-defying grappling hook in action, but the latest Avalanche Studios mini-doc really displays the tool's destructive properties. Here's just a few uses for the game's grapple-arm, as demonstrated in the video above:

I don't... I think I'm "trailing" behind.

No, it's in the headline.
Maybe I'm having trouble "grasping" your concept, but to me my "angle" seemed fine.

I think you need to rethink your approach. That wall is tough to get a hook on...

I think your mind was "attached" to something else there.

just once I want to be able to Grapple Through somebody, or just Grapple specific parts of their body and attach it to a falling rock while the guy is attached to a telephone pole, you know stuff to show off some rediculously gnarly gibbing.

Grappling hooks are awesome point blank!
They need no one to prove their awesomeness!
This game looks great so far and I hope it doesn't disappoint

This game makes me lol. I may buy it for the lols, but def not for the realistic physics. It looks more like a 10 year old boy with ADD's interpretation of the Matrix.

It's looking a little like 'spider-man' with guns at the moment....

I love the look of this game!
Obviously it doesn't have realistic physics, nor does it even make sense (infinite parachute bag, wtf?). But that doesn't mean it's not going to be a badass fun game!

Looking forward to it, even if I do spend 15 hours catpulting people into the sky with explosive barrels..
It'd be great if they added in some kind of physicality to the 'rope'.. If you could take the top off a car by 'grappling' two trees together.. OOH, and if there were different materials for it!.. You could make a super bungee people catapult!
