Re: Vehicle Drops are messed up!!

So, yesterday I'm playing on Sharqi Peninsula, and I'm in a tank, capturing a control point. No one else is around, and my tank is at 100% health. Then, I see a shadow of a jeep being "vehicle dropped" on me. I think to myself, that's not gonna do anything. I'm in a heavy tank, that's just a little car."

But before I could even finish that thought, the car landed on me and my tank just EXPLODED!! I'm not talking it was steadily taking damage, it just went from 100% to KABOOM, instantly.

What the crap is that all about?

Happened to me two more times that game in different locations. That's gotta be messed up.

Welcome to patch 1.3. They fixed Sq hopping and add the cartillery exploit!

GOOD JOB EA!

New slogan for EA: EA. We will give you 16oz of SUGAR and throw a pound of SH1T at you.

As for snipers, these drops are no big deals. Hold the E button, or any assigned ones (for instance one mouse button), when you plan to stay at one spot.
I have taken tons of vehicles, no deaths. Entered vehicles on roof tops. Gone over the edge with them. Hit E button midair (free falling), and kept it in. Re-entered as I hit the ground. Perfect health, and a nice vehicle.

What I do not get is all of these artillery strikes... :rock: Do not miss them.
But I would rather have APC-drops.:)
Artillery will be back when commanders have no luck with their drops...

Re: Vehicle Drops are messed up!!

Done it all with the jeep drop- tanks, helicopters in flight or grounded, planes stationary or taking off and the one that must get to players most snipers getting crushed by jeeps. They should have thought it through, it took the average player two mins to think

“ Wait I can do this with the jeep to kill”

I’m an older gamer and I’d have been embarrassed by that add on, I mean your fighting in your tank holding a point on the map does the artillery kill you no, does the great pilot in the jet get you nope, is it the cobra rising out of the tree’s to deliver a killer blow nope but a silly jeep softly falling by shoot on top of your tank. “ get a grip and wake up”


Obviously the kids have been left to support the game with the real developers moving to 2142………

Re: Vehicle Drops are messed up!!

i hate the cartillery... it is 2 fast after 30sec or something you can use it again ... its even more effective than the art. which need 60sec..
snipers don't stand a chance against it.. you (almost) never c it comin...

Re: Vehicle Drops are messed up!!

Wierd, as commander I've dropped cars on tanks to no avail =[

Re: Vehicle Drops are messed up!!

Re: Vehicle Drops are messed up!!

I have dropped cars onto the MEC helo at Sharqi, while the rotors were spinning, and it just sat there. No boom. Car just falls off the top, as they take off, through the whirling rotor blades and doesn't hurt it one bit.

Does anyone know how to apply for a job at DICE? I have no programming experience whatsoever, so I should fit right in. I bet I could do a better job than they can.

Re: Vehicle Drops are messed up!!

Did you ever stop to think that maybe like other things they didn't see folk using it like it has been used (and henceforth abused)? Stop with the bashing, they don't make you drop it on enemies and such and if the commander is actually helping his squads you should not see it.

However I will admit that what is happening is wrong and no matter how much they tested it I bet you not one of their testers thought to use it as a weapon - they implemented it to see if it can be used to get around, not as a weapon and so didn't test that type of thing, they played the game as it was 'meant' to be played.

Currently doing a Games Software Design course at uni and one of the things I am learning is to expect the unexpected from players (Such as killing plot related main characters and breaking the game...) but even then, you can still miss things.
