too many trolls, flamers and clueless idiots were ruining my other thread so i have decided to create another with VIDEO PROOF that this is an exploit

As you can see in the video, the MEC SMG comes out shooting the moment I press the 3 key. Unfortunately, I was not able to record sound with fraps for some reason. But I can assure you that the gun is already firing before the gun even appears on the screen! If you do not believe my claims, you are welcome to go try it out yourself!

just a while ago i was playing and i happened to sneak up on an AT guy. he shot his rocket at me but missed. the really funny thing is how fast he recovered from firing a rocket and shooting his MP5 at me. his gun came out firing as soon as his rocket left the launcher!!! sounds like us BF2 players have a new annoyance to deal with...

EDIT:

FOR SOME INSANE REASON, EVERYONE IS TOO DENSE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT SO I HAVE DECIDED TO RESTATE MYSELF IN SOMETHING THAT KINDERGARTNERS CAN UNDERSTAND:

because it's an obvious bug. ever noticed that when you switch weapons, a nifty little animation plays out? ever notice that when you shoot during this animation, it gets cut off? someone else mentioned that this does not happen with the support class MG's and that's the way it ought to be for all guns. if someone runs out of ammo and has to reload, they should not be able to just instantly switch to another gun and start firing away before the weapon switch animation plays out fully.

to prove my point that it's unfair, just awhile ago i was playing as sniper and hit someone once then "quick switched" to my pistol and got the kill. sounds like a normal scenario, except for the fact that there was absolutly no lagtime at all between me switching to pistol, and firing which effectively turned me into an AUTOSNIPER.

this was long range too, i didn't have to position my mouse at all to aim for the next shot, it was just shoot my M95, switch to pistol and shoot again. the whole procedure happens so quickly that it's like firing an AUTOSNIPER.

it's only a matter of time before someone abuses this in a script or a hack somehow.

After thinking about it, then testing it, I suspect he might have found a real bug. Most weapons seem to have a little built in delay before you can actually fire 'em. But sure enough, if you fire off an AT round and filp to your MP5, you can blaze away with no pause.
Switching to it while holding the AT launcher and NOT firing a shot causes a minor delay before you can shoot.

The thread is legit... if a little oddly titled.

Well, now they have a video showing them what it is. I'm sure you'll see it a lot more now.

Re: BF2 Quick switch exploit VIDEO

how is this an exploit? the at smgs animation is just slow, you can instant fire em all the time.

Re: BF2 Quick switch exploit VIDEO

This "option" could you also use on bf1942

Re: BF2 Quick switch exploit VIDEO

So...

Exploit?

Can you define the meaning of exploit?

Bingo. The server sees a weapon change only, it doesn't see animations. Since the client handles animations, you're the only person seeing it, but the server is telling you that you're firing, so it draws a firing gun as you pull it out. Not so much of an exploit as lack of insight from EA/DICE to put the delay in there.

Re: BF2 Quick switch exploit VIDEO

The thing is that other weapons DO have a delay on 'em.
Check out ANY support weapon. It takes the longest time to be able to fraw and fire those big fellas.

Since there is a delay for all other weapons, I suspect that this is actually a real for real bug. It's fairly minor and something that isn't going to break the game, but it's still a bug and worth noting.

Bit should be working for Dice or EA as a tester! Obviously they need help!

Re: BF2 Quick switch exploit VIDEO

I would care but the gun is a piece of crap, so it's not like there going to kill you with it anyway, they might as well have taken there time aimming the missile at you in the first place.
