A lot of Little Questions.

[safety_man]

Alright well these might seem very "noobish" but.. I've just got some little questions. So please be nice and gimme a little help. Thanks a lot in advance. :)

1) What do the little trailor and radar dish do? I know you can blow them up and you get points for doing so, but what happens when you blow them up?

2) While I'm playing I get a lot of "Problem with Connection" freezings. It freezes and if there is any vehicles on screen they will float away. These usually last for about 3-8 seconds, but always seem to happen at very important times in the match. Does this happen to everyone? And if not is there any way I can fix it? I have a cable connection, an Intel 4 at 3.2ghz, and a Radeon X800.

3) When I throw med kits or ammo packs at someone it seems to bounce off them and disappear and they don't get until about a second or so til I throw it. Is this just lag or is something messed up.

*Edit*
4) When sniping from long distances, do I have to take into account gravity and the bullet? What I mean is, do i have to aim above my target? Because when I put the crosshair directly over someone I can never hit them.

That is all for now. I'm so for asking such adolescnet questions but I figured people on this board would know and be able to give me a simple quick response. Thanks Again. :) And If I come up with anymore I'll add them.

Re: A lot of Little Questions.

1) They are used only with the Commander. If you destroy them (2 C4 per trailer), you will get points. It's 1 point for every commander asset you destroy, including Artillary.

2) Sometimes it's the server, sometimes it's our ISP, and sometimes it's you. Do you have a router? Did you trigger and forward the correct ports?

3) No, it probably means they picked it up . . .

4) You can try aiming high. It may help. :p

Hey Thanks, but about the first question. Does destroying the radar or trailor affect the commander's play at all?

Yes he won't be able to use the assets until they are repaired. Destroying the radar and scans of map can't be utilized and destroying the trailer will keep UAV on the ground, and artillery works best if it isn't in a pile of rubble.

Create a Single Player game or Create Local in Multiplayer menu, select spec ops kit, apply for commander position and destroy your own commander assests with C4, to see the impact it has on the commander.

Re: A lot of Little Questions.

Also in answer to question one

-The little dish thingy is when your playing on a server and you see the little radar going round on the screen and bleeping red and it shows little red dots which are the enemy. The commander can select and area where he wants the radar thing to go so he can display enemies (If there are any) in that specified area. If you blow the enemies up (or your own for some strange reason) then the commander will not be able to use the radar to look for enemies, so your team will not know where anyone is, thus youll probably end up losing

Hope this helps, Sir. Karl
