No ESSEX on boats outside boundries!?

[CyberPitz]

Here I thought the ESSEX was PART of the damned ship, but I took a heli out byond the limits just for shits and giggles, and it wasn't there! It was odd....

Wow, they did a pretty damn good job of modelling that. :|

Yeah, I thought the '2' on the side of the ship was to represent BF2 :burp:

I think he means the gattling gun + missle placements.

The AA emplacement is a destroyable piece of equipment on the back of the Essex so I'd imagine nothing destructable lives outside the boundaries based on how they code the game.

It should DAMNIT!

and yes, the guns is what i was talking about.

 

[The DemonWithin]

The gun is a vehicle, and therefore does not exist past the map boundry.

Not much point to that is there? Go out of bounds and try to jump in the AA position and shoot somebody down and get out before your 10 seconds are up? Good luck with that.

In BF1942 weren't the big boats actual vehicles? I remember you could get in them and drive them; you could even drive it right on shore and the whole thing would like, tip way up. It was awesome.

yeah, that was pretty cool. Too bad, no mroe ship crashes

Then again, both teams had big ol' boats, now its just the technologically advance USMC! *sigh*

 

[Vegeta897]

Which is why mods will save BF2.

I want huge vehicle battles NOW.

Wouldn't it be awesome, 2 huge fighting machines, tens of gun ports and a driver, all these guns shooting all sorts of things like missles, bullets, lasers.

lol do I detect sarcasm? What's with the "..."?

 

[AmishSlayer]

Boats created more of a problem in BF1942. Some chump would always beach the carrier or something. Physics of it sucked too. When you were running around on deck while it was moving you'd slide all over the place. I'm glad they're stationary right now.

A mod based around naval combat would be fun though. There'd have to be plenty to do though because infantry wouldn't have anything to do...

6char limit probably.
