random multiple explosions bug... interesting.


(Kamel) #1

well, not long after i’d gotten used to playing enemy territory, and actually knew what was going on, i noticed the first bug in the game. at first i thought it was a cheat, and now i have no clue what it is.

anyway, every now and then (not very often) you hear multiple explosions which are very rapid, and are not located on the ground. they can’t be an air strike, because they are often inside and are not on a pattern of any sort like air strikes are. apparently, they dont do any harm to you except lag your computer a bit. well, anyway, i was just wondering if anyone else had noticed this too? ok, so they say a picture is worth a thousand words. maybe 4 pictures are worth 4thousand words ;/ – here ya go.

my friend notices this too, so i know i’m not crazy :P. does anyone happen to know what the cause of this is? i dont really mind it or anything, because it looks cool and it really doesn’t do anything to hurt anyone, heh.

I noticed this bug too. But i thought it was somekin` of last level airstrike… :disgust:

This is a bug that has been around since RTCW at least. It seems kind of like the ‘bullet hitting wall’ effect gets mixed up with the ‘explosion’ effect. This a graphical/sound thing only, the explosions don’t do any damage.

Software. Bugs. :moo:

You’ll also notice tracers flying through walls and bullet hit noises even though that firefight is happening a long distance from you. Chalk it up to shell shock. =)
