We need a list of the REAL bugs/exploits in this game

(Brinkman) #1

it seems like everyone has their own opinions on what’s a bug and what’s not… and i see post after post on here claming they have found a new bug when in reality it is either part of the game or some server setting

so if you would please list REAL bugs and REAL map/game exploits

i’ll start
UPDATE thanks to Wraith2k3

[ul]
[li]Level 2 Heavy Weapons tech sten doesnt’ over heat even though STEN isn’t a HEAVY WEAPON
[/li]

[/li]
[li]Old City Wall can be ignored via stacking.

[li]Double Pistols and deployed mobile mg-42 automatically reload even with auto-reload setting turned off.
[/li]
[li]At Level 4 Heavy weapons, when you shoot the panzer it default switches to grenades instead of pistol or the SMG which it should automatically switch to in my opinion.
[/li]
[li]At Level 4 Heavy Weapons, (sometimes?) you do not get the SMG when you spawn. You have to manually select them like the dual pistols.
[/li]
[li]Frags are sometimes carried over from previous maps, so peoples kill stats appear MUCH higher than they should

[/li]
[li]There is a bug at radar that sometimes causes the dyno at the main/side door to disappear.

(Rippin Kitten) #2

You can airstrike defenders in the bank room on goldrush by exploiting a missing texture.

(Riftgarde) #3

Is losing “General” on the next level and never being able to regain that rank a bug?

(LegoManser) #4

Killing with the akimbo pistols does not give any XP.

(lennyballa) #5

I found that one :stuck_out_tongue: and it wont display the stats of the akimbo guns, not even that you’ve shotted with them :???:

(bani) #6

you can silently plant and defuse dynamite near constructibles.

(Rippin Kitten) #7

Campaigns last for 3 maps, and XP will reset at the end of the third map. Using standard map rotations, any rank you have at the end of fueldump or goldrush will be lost when the map is switched. This is by design. Some servers have altered their campaign files to allow 6 or 10 map campaigns, so these would be good places to play if you like having high level classes and lots of XP.

(Borsuk) #8

Flamethrower stats claim your aim is insanely high. It seems like every time enemy you set on fire loses health it’s considered a hit.

Covert Op with terrible kill2death ratio, who doesn’t care about blowing objectives or clearing mines but instead running and picking up every enemy uniform is considered best covert op.
Covert op who never loses his disguise and kills some people+objectives will have much less exp.
Actions like throwing smoke grenades at important constructibles/destroyables or blinding Mg nest served by enemy give no experience. Letting teammate thru teamdoor gives no experience.
-----(yes I consider this serious issue)

On oasis the guns can be planted (via stacking) without entering inner city area and climbing stairs.

Old City Wall can be ignored via stacking.

Minor issue - tank-mounted Browning is considered Mg-42 by stats.

On Fuel Dump you can plant dynamite and it say “base fortification”, but destroys Fuel Dump.

Minor issue - Smoke Grenade DOES work underwater. You won’t be able to see it if you aren’t in water. If you throw grenade above water and submerge, you won’t see any smoke, too.

It seems that after changing side (axis to allier or vice versa) you keep skills and exp, but NOT kills and deaths. This leads to weird situation where on first campaign map soldier has far less kills than medic, but much higher exp. Who’s going to believe it’s Battle Sense ?

(bani) #9

the only way to allow XP for this without being exploited (eg teammate goes through teamdoor, then comes back out, then goes through teamdoor again) is to only allow XP once per teammate per door per spawn. it’s doable though…

i agree covops gets way too much XP for stealing uniform. like duh, so hard to steal pants from a dead person :moo:

(kotkis) #10

This can be done with a simple strafe-jump with only one person.

The hitboxes weird on some situations (prone, while inside tank).

(senator) #11

Sometimes ppl can’t be shoot out of the tank ( probably some hitbox mixup)

Instant-Tap-Out bug / ppl lying on the ground waiting for a medic die to fast

To get akimbos you have to select them first in the limbo, instead they should be assigned automatically at the next spawn.

([B]Repoman) #12

bug where tank shows damaged , but cannot be repaired -effectively sticking the tank until the axis smack it around a bit more. Ive seen this on fuel dump before, and last night it happened to our opponents in a TWL match on Goldrush. ( Fortunately for them I was right there to help them out with an airstrike )

(Wraith2k3) #13

Heres what we have so far (just to keep everything together, and cos I’m bored):

I didn’t add the other covert ops stuff since its not really a bug or exploit, although I agree that it’s something that should be changed. Coverts need to be rewarded for doing “covert ops tasks” and supporting teammates.

:moo:

(Ranstaton) #14

Double Pistols and deployed mobile mg-42 automatically reload even with auto-reload setting turned off.

(Whatever) #15

I hate that bug… Here’s more

At Level 4 Heavy weapons, when you shoot the panzer it default switches to grenades instead of pistols (which it normally does) or the SMG which it should automatically switch to in my opinion.

At Level 4 Heavy Weapons, (sometimes?) you do not get the SMG when you spawn. You have to manually select them like the dual pistols.

Sometimes people’s kill/death count in the post game meny is insanely off, but if you actually click their profile it accuratly lists the kills/deaths in the weapons section.

That’s all for now… great post!

(bani) #16

weapon autoswitch is not reliable. when planting dynamite sometimes it switches to pliers and sometimes it switches to your primary weapon. really bad if you have a loaded rifle grenade… :angry:

(kyleb) #17

no kidding bani, that one sucks bad. same with being a covert and tossing out a detpack only to fire your gun and blow your cover because it did not switch to the remote.

(Dawg) #18

I have been trying to pay attention to when this occurs and I think I may have it figured out. If you drop your dyno and immediately start hitting the left mouse button (ok, +attack or whatever it is for those that remap keys and buttons), it will sometimes switch to SMG instead of pliers. I have found that it reliably switches directly to pliers if you do not pound the left mouse button after dropping dyno. However, unless you can reliably force the SMG to come out by pound the left mouse button (as a defensive measure), then this is still a bug IMO.

Any chance of getting a comment from SD as to whether this is by design (feature vs. bug)? If it is a feature, can we get some sort of description of how it is supposed to work?

(amazinglarry) #19

To the best of my knowledge that’s neither a bug nor an exploit. At least for the South Gun as I’ve planted there MANY times with only 2 people… and a 2 person stacking is legal in match play.

There’s a spot outside the old city where one can literally sink into the ground, and become invisible. If using a flamethrower, can shoot flames and kill people and nobody can see the person OR the flames. “Mysterious Flamethrower.”

(Ranstaton) #20

Delta Fireteam does not get icons over players heads for selected team mates.
