Imagine grabbing a guy in standard fashion. Then, while you're holding him up, you can jump from a high ledge and use him to break your fall. That would allow for some awesomely tense getaways.

Also, why does throwing a guy into a another guy not knock "another guy" down?

nice name lol

I like this

Also, I'm really wondering why we can't disarm enemies. We see Prophet do it from first person perspective in the beginning. Maybe 2x-tapping "x" could do it. Maybe just human enemies, too; you could make it so the player can't disarm Ceph and it could be inferred that it's because their exoskeletons are two strong or something (easier just to throw the whole thing than wrestle a gun out of its hand).

These are just a couple places where the "be a complete badass" angle this game takes loses some steam.

Disarming enemies would be awesome.
Also, to take the gun and turn it straight around and pop them in the head.
Shame.
