It's well documented for those that have never heard of it, it was present in Battlefield vietnam too.

Re: C4 Glitch Happens 100% Of The Time Now!!

Why am i getting it so often then if you guys never get it..

Only times Ive had it I was either lagging out or clicking frantically. When I take my time I never have the issue....

omg... i guess we're screwed then.


It happens to me a lot! It doesn't matter the ping neither. It happens the most when i'm trying to throw and switch to detonator really quick.

IT'S SO ANNOYING!!! sometimes you have it all planned out, you have a couple of c4 packs on an entrance and when you press the button from detonator switches to c4 and now you're screwed cause you have c4 at your feet where other teammates and can't detonate without causing massive teamkilling. In the meanwhile all vehicles are entering to the carefully planned gate.

Question:Hop on a server, try it several times WHILE TAKING YOUR TIME. Does it still happen?

That's the thing, no one is talking about the "let me put a little c4 here and there, and carefully planning and camping" situation. We're talking about the times when there's a gunner on the tank already shooting at you and the turret is quickly pointing in your direction. There's no "take your time" there and certainly no time for bugs which is why is so aggravating.

So then the real question then becomes is it a bug, or instead a draw time issue OR maybe just players clicking to many buttons in the heat of the moment?

ok, let me explain it carefully to you since you seem to be unable to comprehend what has already been said in previous posts.

You lay down a packet of c4 and switch back to detonator. (most of the times quickly, but for my experience a full 2 seconds can pass by and it will still do it.)
Your model is now holding the detonator (you can see it on the screen).
You press it and immediately switches back to C4. Since you pressed the button, he throws an extra package of c4 at your feet.

Now, I'm sure you're skepticism comes from the fact BF2 has been a bug free rock solid game and EA would never release a product unfinished.

Calm down dude. I am well aware of the problem, have experienced it myself, however only in the heat of battle or when lagging, the rest of the time its not an issue for me.

Do me a favour, go on a server, try planting C4 and waiting ohh, lets say 5 seconds, and then tell me if it still switches back.

And yes, this game was definitely a buggy peice of pooh when released. It is better now but there are still issues. Please point out where in my previous posting I said it was perfect.

sigh... are you even reading? I told you already, we're not talking about the sit and wait situations. We're talking about ...
you know what... forget it. Talking to you reminds me of EA.

Re: C4 Glitch Happens 100% Of The Time Now!!

WTH!!!
Everytime I lay 1 C4 pack, and move away, switch to detonator, and click, the retarded guy switches back to C4 and lays a pack right at my feet!!!

This has happened to me over 10 times today. I've learned to counter that stupid bug by laying more than 1 c4 pack.

Its so anoying!! You lay a c4 on something, and instead of clicking and killing them, you click and drop another c4 and they kill you!!

Arg!!

I thought I was the only one experiencing this glitch.

Yeah, might help the opponents to shoot you. AFAIK this is because switching between detonator and c4 is server-sided, however model animation is client-sided. So you press switch, your model switches immediately, however on the severside you are still holding c4! Thats why you press fire (in order to detonate) and it drop another pack, 'cos your client send to the server the "fire" signal, and server says "you are holding c4, so fire means drop another pack".
It never happens to me if I lay a c4, switch to detonator and wait for at least 5 seconds.
Possible conclusions: serverside switch takes longer than clientside switch, prolly clientside: 1s, serverside 3s. Add the amount of lag to it, and it's a source of constant frustration for specops players.
Possible fixes: syncronize server and clientside switch times. Fire during switch means detonate (not drop another pack) or NOTHING.
More drastical solution: LMB means drop c4, RMB means switch + detonate (immediately)

Possibly it will not be fixed anytime soon. And that's no good, 'cos C4 is fun.

Re: C4 Glitch Happens 100% Of The Time Now!!

Neither i or any of my friends had this problem,
not in BF2 and not in BF42.
In BF:V i only experienced this on really laggy servers. (40+ players)
Can someone direct somewhere where this was well documented?
Because i still talk about the superman glitch with my friends but noone ever mentioned this to be honest.

Re: C4 Glitch Happens 100% Of The Time Now!!

yeah ive staerted too notice this bug too and its really annoying especiialy at those times where you just have enough time too hit the detonator too blow th etank you just c4'd and you don't becuase it throws another c4 pack and the tank kills you.
