Can teammates steal your vehicles

(jjpron) #21

you just make yourself an easy target in a vehicle.
not much you can do for strafing.

I heard someone say that you can “call-in” vehicles. Doeds that mean we are going to have cartillery like in battlefield where you can kill snipers by landing vehicles on them lol?

(Wils) #24

No - unless you want to go to the effort of sneaking up behind them, calling your vehicle and then running away without killing them (and hoping they don’t move). You can only request a vehicle at your current location.

(Rhoades) #25

not only that, but you’ll be able to get to the battle pretty quickly whether you use vehicles or not (According to interviews)

’

thank god someone has some sense…

dropping vehicles on helis and artillerys…lol

(premiumjones) #27

Sounds like the old 90 degree mortar shot. Sneak up right behind some guy, deploy and fire it at 90 degrees. Then run as fast as you can.

Iv read there is a permission system for entering vehicles. As passenger or gunner etc…

I like the way you subtly emphasise how elaborate and yet poignant this new method of humiliating newbs is :clap:

Great, now when Quake Wars comes out I’m not going to be able to go to sleep until I’ve managed to kill someone this way at least once. Why do you taunt me with such visions of awesomeness?

(CrazyGuy) #31

Call an vehicle drop for yourself then moved underbeath dropzone.
Splat! Your dead…

Goto bed…

Can’t you already kill people in ET like this if you manage to call in the artillery support exactly on top of the sniper and they have low health? I swear I remember seeing the initial puff of smoke knocking snipers off sniper hill on Fuel Dump. :???:

I still think coverts with unis ought to be able to ‘carjack’ or ‘mechjack’ and then blow away the other team. That would be awesome.

(Wils) #34

It isn’t awesome, it’s confusing and annoying. It’s not really something you can defend against, since they’re not fixed emplacements, and there’s no easy way to represent that they’ve been ‘jacked’, as it were.

Besides, what usually happens is the carjacker just drives off with your best vehicle and hides at the other end of the map :slight_smile:

(kamikazee) #35

I didn’t expect to see a black market in vehicles that soon!

(mortis) #36

How about coverts being able to sabotage them, you know, a booby trap? I’d love to see some Strogg go fire up his Goliath, only to have it satchel him to death!

Level 4 engineers could look at the vehicle and see “Sabotaged by enemy!” just like level 4 field ops see “Disguised Enemy!”.

At the very least, we should be able to steal their Strogg stereos, go back to the MCP and sell the hot goods.
