Sorry I never mentioned.
Only once on a public match, I tought it deserved some detailed explanation because it never happened before.
The thing is only the 2 guys in cobra CTD and noone else in the server, thats why.
Im pretty sure (although i have no clue how BF2 engine works) that it has to do smth with the players number, both teams were at ECC when the crash happened
i've had this happen in other vehicles on other maps, it's a really odd bug, not rare but not too common, though wish it would be fixed, as it ruins everyones fun in the vehicle and gives the other team free tickets nine times out of ten
everyone in the vehicle CTDs and i've had it happen in any vehicle, apc, jeeps, helos, even a bomber once I think
unless this cobra one happens every time you fly towards ecc/scc, it's not so much the map, as it happens everywhere
**edit been happening before 1.0, just a guess but I think it's related to sound, because every time it happens it seems like there's a lull in spotting any enemies, but as soon as they hear/see you, everyone crashes, has been my experience.
