Molotov moving around on its own
Ok, I only captured a bit of the video here: Molotov moving on its own - Xfire Video but this was going on from the time that I threw it to the time that it went out. At one point it zoomed pretty far across the map from right to left and then proceeded to dance around as the video shows.
The way (I think) that this happened has to do with the way grenade trajectory changes while running. I ran forward, jumped (I think), and threw this molotov. You can watch the rest in the video.
Forgive me if this is a repost of a repost of a repost, I searched and didn't see anything.

Something like this happened to me on Fallujah west, Someone threw a Molotov and it stuck to our APC but the thing was it was like 15 feet in front of us, we drove forward twords the building all the ins were in and pushed the fire into them, it was pretty awesome lol.

I had the same, on the same map, it was bouncing up and down through the air in a wave-like path

Yeah, i've thrown a Molotov at a Landy on Basra before and the fire followed it around the map, pretty funny.

I was driving a stryker and got hit by a Moly
It got stuck about 15m in front of the stryker. I used to to burn all the insurgents.
But yeah the bug happens

There's nothing like seeing this bug ingame. One of my fellow squadmates threw one at some infantry in a building and missed. The fire was going everywhere.

Had the same issue but that could be representing the heat maybe.hiberNative wrote:i always seem to run into invisible flames or getting tagged by flames from a vehicle like 10m away.
If a bomb lands 20 feet from your position, then I'm coming around for another shot.
P.S. Sorry that I missed the first time.

Re: Molotov moving around on its own
They did stick infact they used to kill the people inside the APC, maybe that's why they would not go hay wire because the crew would die before they could start driving.R.J.Travis wrote:in 0.8 they did not stick i dont think.
