BUGS THAT I'VE SEEN and some ideas. please read and say what


(Dyne) #1

some may already been posted or fixed what ever.

-join fire team msg won’t disapear. (I think this happens when you spectate someone who ignores the msg (doesnt fress f1 or f2) and then you spawn again and it won’t go.

-(i haven’t tested this myself cause i concider this cheating) People have told me that if you gain level 1 (or 2 not sure) in heavy weapons then the sten won’t overheat anymore. I’m not sure if you can get this effect from firing tankgun’s or other h.weapons in a map or that you have to be a soldier and than switch back to a c. ops

-This is by far the most annoying bug in game and must be fixed! I have only had this as a f. ops. I zoom with binocular and call an air strike. And sometimes i can’t take the binoculars off/ switch other weapon. I have to be killed or /kill myself in console. If i take my time and stand still it doesn’t happen. If i play f .ops i get this atleast 2 or 3 times per campaign.

-This is not a bug, but i was experimenting and think more people do this.
What i did was time the respawns. I call an airstrike or air support and when you are low level it will take quite some time for your meter to refill.
So i /kill myself in console and i respawn inmediatly with full meter. It’s just a matter of looking at your clock and if you are low on f. ops power and the spawn is in a few seconds you kill your self. especially on a map like battery this is very handy and kind of cheating ofcourse. I only did this a few times to see if it’s worth doing.

-i’ve only had this once. I kept respawning as a soldier with machinegun instead of a rocketlauncher. while the msg said you will spawn next round as a soldier with a panzerfaust. I had l4 heavy weapons. I swicthed classes and then switched back and i could then get the panzer.

I had some ideas aswell.

ability for servers to make players unable to stay in enemy spawn area for more than x amount of time. Some people think spawn camping is part of the game some think it’s gay. It could be like an entity you set in etradiant like the light circle. And servers could en/disable it.

I think the sualt ramp on the battery map should only be able to be blown up with dynamite. This takes some skill to plant and blow up instead of just plant-boom c .ops’s do. Also c. ops can place it in advance without even going down on beach. Playing against a good axis team who doesnt go outside back door or on beach so clothes can’t be stolen and defend well it’s very hard to build the ramp and it’s too easy for axis to destroy it.

Last idea. Now that peope have been playing ET for a while. every body knows how to spot a c .ops. Disguise is pretty useless. Only to open doors.
I was thinking you (or maybe c .ops skill level 3 or 4 what ever.) can’t see a c ops in disquise, but that there is a button to signal your teamm8.
I see my buddy i signal him, he signals me back. or what ever you want to call it. If it’s a spy he won’t see it. It could be a text msg aswell.
Dyne signals you. Then i see bla bla signals me back. Also you could have c. ops’ take the name of the guy you killed. So if you see two guys with same name you’ll have to choose who to shoot. or that c ops’ dont have a rank on their helmet when in disguise. than you’d really have to pay attention. You see some guy in the back ground running, look suspicious, you take your binoculars and zoom in. AH HA! it’s a spy!
Or you get killed and warn your team, enemy spy has my name ! kill Dyne!. The way it is now is stupid.

Ok last idea. Medics are like super soldiers. i think medics are too strong.
i usually dont heal shit and sometime sgain akimbo pistols in one game. As a medic i usually kill between 35 and 50 people per 20 minute game. You stock up ammo and then go on a killing spree. Run off heal yourself and run back in. And soldiers kind of stink. Ok they have a weapon for every occasion. And taking machine gun with a soldier is just stupid.
Also soldiers gain exp so slow cause they get it only from kills. while a soldier is very handy for your team it’s a pretty boring class. They should have more skills or advantages. I/k thinking, being able to drag a corpse to a medic for healing or always run or only need level 2 for akimbo pistols. I must say that level 4 h.weapons with a panzerfaust is pretty good though. Also you only carry 4 rockets even on l 4. and you take an ammo pack fer 1 rocket. which just sucks upo ammo for your team.

And where you get the tree models from to put in map? can you load these from within radiant?

thanks for your time cya ingame!

Sorry this has never happened to me since I’ve been playing when the game first came out :???:

This kind of tricked me at first, but this is definitely not a bug. If you’re a LVL4 heavy weapons instead of having a panzer/pistol you will have a panzer/MG. You just have to switch over to panzer because you’ll respawn with an MG in your hand. So if you have 3 bound to selecting panzer, press it again to select MG and vice versa. It’s good to start out with the MG in your hand so you can start running right away instead of having to switch to pistol to run faster.

But maybe i switched and didnt notice or something. Thanks

I suppose you use your seventh weaponbank for binoculars to call an artillery. This may or may not be bugged, it’s not important as you should use your binocular key (default: b). It’s much better because you don’t have to waste time switching weapons.

Yes everybody does this and it is not considered cheating, some may consider it lame but most experienced players don’t :slight_smile: People even bind it to a key so they don’t need to open console and type it.

Another ‘bug’ that I haven’t seen posted here: the delay when you throw a smoke can is pretty annoying and also is not corresponding with animation. Should be the same as airstrike I suppose.

I have definately had this happen to me, here how (I think) it happenes…
(oh and not just FO, but anyone who uses Binocs)

press 7 to whip out binocs.
alt fire them up to use them…
look arround
Press any other weapon key…

now you have changed weapons but are still stuck scoped…
No I haven’t tired fighting like this (except in the up close cause thats why I freaked out and switched weapons)…

Also not sure if I can repoduce it cause it annoys the piss out of me…


(BoneZ) #6

Thats why you don’t EVER switch to binocs to use em, just bind a key to +zoom, then as long as you hold that key down you are zoomed in with Binocs, let go and your back to whatever you were using before you zoomed.


(DrGratis) #7

Well I know that NOW but still thought I might substanciate that bug report… maybe it coulf be…

I dunno…

FIXED.
:blah: :smiley:


(Dyne) #8

although i’m a pretty good player i don’t use binds…yet. Im too lazy too set them and lack of handy keys left. I always just scroll too binoculars. I do still consider this a bug even though there are ways to avoid it in advance.


(Dyne) #9

btw thoiught oif an other bug. satchel charge a mahingun tower and corpse layus in mid air.


(ETplayer) #10

i got killed as a sniper while scoped, but for my next spawn i selected panzerfaust. pretty funny, i got a panzerfaust with scope lol (this was on beach asault, so i pretty much enjoyed the scope cuz i could look into the water and blast ppls asses :P)


(+Shadow+) #11

haha panzer whit scope
well thats something :blah:


(Dyne) #12

i must try and replicate this bug too check it out hehe
about /kill alot of panzer faust soldiers do it aswell can servers turn it off??
ok it sucks if you stuck with binocular lock but i think this will be fixed soon
