CP Abadon: Trucks

Lucid Nightmare · Post by **Lucid Nightmare** » 2006-07-22 16:44

Uh, what the hell is up with those trucks? They take about 10 AT missile hits to kill, they can drive over a mine and live, you can drive them in water and they bob around and don't die. But as soon as you 50 cal it, it explodes within a few seconds.

Don't get me wrong, those trucks are awsome. Especially when you have five of your friends in the back and your hurling through enemy lines, but those things are rigged.

Trucks? What trucks are you talking about?

On the U.S side, there is two trucks. One directly east of the bridge sitting at the petrol station and the other is below the southern base somewhere.

Never noticed them myself. Anyone got any screenshots?

Lucid Nightmare · Post by **Lucid Nightmare** » 2006-07-22 19:10

Yeah, i got some.

Oh, and also, you can't see the trucks on radar. Even if there is a friendly in it. They just dissappear.

LOL I gotta try those amphibious trucks. Is there anywhere to moor up once you hit the other shore?

Malik · Post by **Malik** » 2006-07-23 20:44

They're not amphibious, they just don't explode in water and you don't lose HP like would would with a standard vehicle landing in water. And yes, there are ramps on both sides, but that's irrelevent.

Lucid Nightmare · Post by **Lucid Nightmare** » 2006-07-24 15:26

Trust me, we tried, you can not get the trucks up to the other side of the river. You can push them to the other side of the river using apc's, but when you try to get it up the ramp, it just doesn't budge.

Also, in the OMG truck, there is no character sitting in the drivers seat whenever someone jumps in it.
"Oh My, Ghost truck"

Trying to cross the river with the trucks (of course you cant but it is fun to watch it sink)

Dont mind the rest of the video, you will not understand unless you had played the rounds with us

Yea, um, about those.

The dump truck comes with BF2, but as you can tell, it was never finished by DICE. The mapper added it to the map and I guess it slipped by in testing about how those things were totally unbalanced. Atleast they don't have guns.

Thanks for brining it up, that needs to be fixed.

awww we should keep it as an easter egg.

I'd say leave the super truck version in, at least it has an achilles heel(.50 cal, someone said). Perhaps put a proper version to be incoperated into normal maps.

I remember this track from an early BF2 vid, some guy was driving it around the big pipe/tubes under the dam.

i say ditch cp_abadan, not a very good map...

Malik · Post by **Malik** » 2006-07-25 09:40

It's going in 0.4, apparently.

Edit: By going I meant it's going somewhere else other than 0.4. Ooops.
