Turrent Dismount Problem

(phoon) #1

Whenever i mount a machine gun then shoot it, i cant get out until i wait helplessly for 2 seconds. I don’t wanna use a machine gun now because i use to enter it shoot the enemies then leave because i become a stationary target. But now after shooting, I get stuck and cant get out. But the worst part is when i cant get out, i spam F for my life then I leave then accidentally mount it again and die. :l

Switch weapons to escape the turret’s bear hug.

Solution: Don’t use turrets, they’re death traps by design.

But they wuv you…

I think something changed recently where the turret will hold on to you for longer. I’ve used turrets in the past and never needed to change weapons to get away but the other night I tried and it would take over a second before I could control my character again.

There is indeed a short delay before you can actually get off the MG. I still wonder if they did that intentionally or if it is a bug. Anyways, you shouldn’t be sticking to those MG’s after all.

Does anyone get the issue where you get on the turret and you cant do anything? All you can do is aim. Not able to shoot, not able to get off the turret, nothing. It has happened to me a few times typically during the first 30 seconds of the round.

I think this was reported in bug section alredy few days back, they are gonna look into it!

Did you mean torrent?

I’ve had that happen. I’ve also had cases where I’ve had to hold down the Use key for two seconds to get off the fucking thing, two seconds I don’t have when I’ve drawn the enemy’s ire and fire.

And of course, I’ve had cases where both happen one after the other.

On a positive note, I’m glad it’s not just happening to me so I can be reasonably sure it’s not caused by me mashing the keyboard with my sausage fingers.

I used to have this problem at the beginning of matches if I was the first person to use the MG in the server. I thought it was addressed a couple patches ago but apparently not.

Your trick worked! Changing weapons does get you out instantly so thanks :). still not used to it though.

The only thing worse than that is when you go to drop the EMP charges to shoot really quickly, and end up bashing the air. With an EMP charge.

I’ve always felt that you couldn’t get out of a turret after mounting it or shooting, since the closed beta actually. But I just came to consider it as a design choice. You get extreme firepower at an advantageous location but as a compensation you can’t get out of the “sitting duck” situation as fast. It’s kinda kill or be killed situation when on a turret.

Now i read this… The amount of times I died clamping my hands on the two machinegun handles accepting the incoming bullets in silent frustration.

The fun fact is that it’s a problem in pretty much every UE3 game I’ve played with vehicles and stationary weapons.
