Instant IED placement after death...

Post by Jutsch »

So, i experienced this very strange bug today, that happens when you get shot while planting a IED (it was a victim-operated that time). When i respawned, i wanted to select the IED, and to my shock it got placed INSTANTLY! Directly on to the cache! And so led to a massive teamkilling... :(
Is there anyway to get this fixed in one of the next patches?

did you use the same kit that you got shot with before or a brand new kit?

not fixable afaik, BF2 doesn't notice it much since vanilla had faster animations, same thing will hapen if you die after you pull a grenade pin

Many people doesn't know it but you can duplicate certain items with this bug such as bandages, mines and so on.
Luckily this happens rarily accidentally and I haven't seen many people exploit it.

I think we fixed it for timed C4, so it should be fixable for IEDs as well. Will check it.

Just tried fixing this. Sadly we are not able to do so for proximity IEDs :(
There are other bugs that would come along with fixing this bug that are worse. I wont go into what those bugs are as they might be exploitable with current weapons.

They are exploited right now and it's spreading like a virus. Server Admins should add that as a reason to ban somebody if seen using.

btw this thread should be deleted too ...

People will get curious and want to try it themself, so it's not a good idea to 'inform' them.
