i mean if the devs could retrieve the sniper that ea made, why not retrieve the hover craft at the same time. would kick *** to have that beach assult 0.6 map to include hover craft + the new mutrah would be sick with them too.

or is it totally aniahlated in the code?

because the sniper was left behind, the LCAC was not.

let alone running into the techincal dificulties that EA did and what was there reason for removing it fron BF2.

There was a thread on this, and the LCAC like the aircraft carrier, people wonder why you cant drive it, because in bf2 you cant have a vehicle on a vehicle or it will blow up.

Hmm...I believe it may be because of some other reason. Soldiers in BF2 are treated as "vehicles" (they're default vehicles) and they can be in other vehicles such as HMMVs and the like. Could be the type..hmm.. :|

That new Tampa map is supposed to have moveable carriers as well.
I don't want to start a battle but the LCAC thing does look very cool and maybe for .9 or something .... ?

because the sniper has a fear of them?

i played that new map and i didnt see any carrier on there. plus the scenario sucked "here is a useless stretch of road bunny hop towards it till bombed or noob toobed"

Forgot to mention that you cant have people standing on a vehicle or he will glitch in and the pilot/driver TKs him, this what happens a lot on mods like battleship, or smacktards who stand in behind the merlin or atop the blackhawk.

yeh but surely there could be seated slots added, i mean i think it should be treated as a cool open air apc...

ok maybe not for anytime soon but near the end of pr when there is less stuff to do and the majority of the coding tweaks and stuff are done.

Spearguns are supposed to used underwater but in BF2 you can't dive underwater. I guess it would be a nice easter egg pick up kit, like the dual uzis/M-82 combo kit... vBF: Special Forces was supposed to have poison gas...

Wait, I'm a bit out of the loop here.

The M82 and Dual Uzi's were actually coded into BF2? If so, good job excavating them from the coding.

And with that, I wonder what other goodies they have buried.

I'm pretty sure sat nav made them, just AIX has used them too.

No, uzis are satnav, not used by AIX, the M82 was enabled for ingame use by Kysterama, AIX dev
