The funniest thing just happened on Al Basrah...

MichSt-Spartan · Post by **MichSt-Spartan** » 2007-07-31 21:59

This was by far the funniest/craziest thing that I've ever seen happen in this mod. I was playing on the insurgents in the TV2 Al Basrah server, and I grab an ambusher kit from main base and the big, red bomb truck. I drive out across the bridge, circle around northeastern Basrah, and then go to cross the main road. As I do, brits open fire at me and my truck starts to take damage. I have no time to turn around and go after them, so I step on the gas and get to the other side of the street. Fearing that they will follow me to eliminate my threat, I keep barreling around the corners, towards the back entrance to the facility. Now, as most of you know, this back entrance has a destroyable gate. I ram the truck into the gate, and all of a sudden, my multi-ton vehicle is hurled into the air by the fragmented fence, spinning backwards and climbing into the sky. I flew up hundreds of meters into the sky, high enough to see most of Al Basrah. As I sail through the air, people on the server are saying "Look at the big red truck, its up in the air!", "A truck is way up in the sky!". The truck slowly flips through the air, and makes its way down. Somehow I manage to land partially on my side, partially inside a fence and hit the ground relatively undamaged. By now I am absolutely laughing my *** off. Unfortunately, I had tried to get FRAPS working that round, but it wasn't showing up in-game, so I had no recording of the incident. I can only hope that the TV2 server has BattleRecorder, but it is doubtful. Here's the screenshot of the aftermath:

Funniest thing I have ever seen on PR.

I love that truck.

I've gone flying right across the map when I've been shot before, but never after hitting into objects. Must've been fun.

aha yer ive had that happen a few times aswell i was also driving one of those truck things around looking for a APC, drove through one of those destroyable wire fences and jumped 200ft in the air lol doing frontflips and all that jazz, unfortunately mine landed upside down so i was more concerned with getting out and running away before it blew up and killed me, than taking a screenshot lol so it dident get one

I've had that happen to my APC on seven gates...I drove over the deadly...."Razor wire". I swear I hit the cloud cieling and fell back down....worst part was my whole squad never saw it and were just complaining..."Where the F@#$ is the APC, bring it up!"....I'm like..."I"M FLYING...I"M FLYING"....booom.

IIRC, TV2 has BR enabled.

Can you imagine the face of the A10 pilot when a truck suddenly flies by him?

Reminds me, next time - slap some C4 infront of it. HA! You think you are safe in that ugly warthhog? Think again!

No A10s on Basrah, but Merlins could get a sling shot jihad in their face

Hx.Clavdivs · Post by **Hx.Clavdivs** » 2007-08-01 13:07

Can you imagine this scenario?

Insurgent: "We got to lure that Merlin right here! Eureka! Get me 20 civvies. Stand here. RIGHT HERE!

Wait for it ... wait for it ... wait for it ... NOW!"

Alright, right now FRAPS is being a pain and not working with BR. I just recorded for the past hour to find out that all the footage I made was corrupted. However, I was able to take a couple of screenshots (using PrintScreen):

I'm not going to give up on trying to make the video.

Destructible fences. The left fence segment on the north side of what used to be facility works every time. Also, you must use the semi truck, it's the only one that works.

Here's a question: Why does a multi-ton truck do that?

Expendable Grunt · Post by **Expendable Grunt** » 2007-08-06 07:32

Didn't seem to work...
