Vehicle Mobility/Terrain Negotiation

calsonic · Post by **calsonic** » 2007-08-03 13:51

I searched the sticky with the previous suggestions and I didnt see this mentioned.

Ive noticed one think with BF2 in general, and thats the mobility of certain vehicles.

One example is the Humvee. This vehicle IRL is one hell of an off road machine. In BF2 and PR, its a piece of junk in terms of terrain negotiation. Tanks suffer this same problem. Theres been many times where theres a slight hill that neither of these vehicles can get up. Its a PITA to have to find another way around a really simple bump in the terrain.

I noticed that the Blackhawk in PR moves so much faster than it does in normal BF2, so I think there might be a way to change the code on vehicles to allow them to negotiate terrain better.

You know that you can press shift in PR to get some extra speed?

The Hills are no Problem with Speed.

but the BH is to fast and you almost cant hang it still in urban area for example to drop them on an construction site

Nah it's fine.

In other news, I attempted to drive a dirt bike on Basrah into the back of a Merlin.

I have to agree is it a little weird when a tank can't make it up a small hill without great difficulty but i guess you don't really want the damn things going everywhere.

and Expendable, i want a video of that right now!

Well, it doesn't work -- back of it is a tad too low

I was hoping I could hijack it, NOT have the merlin susplode everywhere, and use it for cache hunting

ORLY?
Then explain tanks on peaks of Kashan hills and T90 and M1A2's camping on the hill west of West city on Ejod

They just increased the vehicle's speed, no codes

Damn too bad, i had a perfect image of a bike armed with c4 going off a jump into the back of a merlin hovering 10 feet off the ground, only to explode once inside killing all the passengers. Its probably the most realistic scenario possible in PR.

"Realistic"? You on drugs?

now i never new that i only thought the boost was for jets

Nope, there's a boost on everything but tanks and choppers I think. And getting a tank up on the hills in Kashan is possible, but really, really frustrating.
