too many duds....

[AlphaCueUp]

aside from the AT rocket p[assing through vehicles...theres other weapons that are duds, for lack of a better word...the only one i seen discussed is the AT rocket...

Im tired of firing tv missles in attack heli, only to hear the sound, but nothing happens, and i have to wait for it to reload...and the hundreds of knife hits ive gotten that make that nice squish sound, but nothing happens...ive had to hit ppl with the knife as many as four times before the guy dies.....does the knife issue partial damage sometimes? or is it always supposed to be 1 hit kill?

if you add all these unfair 'misses' i got, i would have atleast 200 more kills.....no fairsies

are there anymore weapons that fire duds (or dont fire) in the game?

Yes, the knife sucks. It can be useful, but it wont register 50% of the time.

Re: too many duds....

Also the supply drop when commander will do this...It will say supplies airdropping now...then nothing happens and you have to wait for it to reload.

Re: too many duds....

It's just the lame hit detection. I get dust clouds on people's faces when I snipe sometimes.
I do think one dustcloud session may have been due to a cheater, though. He ran into a whole squad with his PKM on auto. They lit him up, and I shot him in the head three times. He just sat there in the prone, laying waste to six guys. A tank tried shooting with the .50 cal, the guy didn't die until arty came in and killed him.

I've had grenades not go off, just disappear after a few seconds.
APC missiles go right through the target... tank's main gun "fire", but the shell either vanishes or goes astray, something glitches.
DAO also has given me a lotta trouble with hits not registering... I mean, nearly close enough to knife a guy, and shot after shot fails to hit?

And yes, TVGMs have failed on me LOTS... "misfires", failure to steer, pass through target

Re: too many duds....

I think a lot of it has to do with lag. I was in a squad the other day at the construction site at Sharqi when we ran into one lone guy at close range and we all started blasting. I dumped THREE magazines into him (not exaggerating) over the next few seconds. Not to mention what the rest of the squad hit him with at a range of about 5 "video game feet"away... AND HE NEVER DIED. I was screaming for an admin, yelling HAX at the top of my lungs until I realized that he hadn't killed any of us either...

Exactly how I feel, both the knife and tv missile thing are extremely annoying.

I fire the TV missile but nothing fires and it just re reloads.

The knife is ALWAYS supposed to be one hit kill if it hits and I think its bullcrap that I have knifed people in the face only to be blasted 2 seconds later...and I die and they don't wtf...

First off, 4k for 2 7900s even overclocked and custom cooling....youve been ripped off whatever u have.

Second, link me your stats, if you haven't seen these bugs chances are you haven't played the game very much.

It has nothing to do with graphics or comp specs...its all software.

Re: too many duds....

happens with some guns. i've had a "gun jam" before, where i click and i can't fire unless i click again.Rare, but annoying.

Well.. I'm not sure where I heard this, but apparently "Heavy" (Support, AT) classes have "Head Armor", I'm not sure if it's true though.

What I Have noticed though, is that whenever I aim for the legs, or hit prone during a knife fight, I stab them in the foot and they die almost all the time. Try it for yourself and see..

Re: too many duds....

sometimes i get the TV missles on attack heli to 'jam' where no matter how many time si click, nothing happens....it only works if i switch out of TV mode, then back in again....and usually, i have to wait for it to reload again.....wtf?
