Unfortunately, I can't remember the map and the exact point it happened, but still...


I dropped a smoke grenade just next to the wall INSIDE a concrete building (some house or garage, was not a bunker btw) and when I went outside, on other side of the wall I see the smoke coming out of the wall as if the smoke is passing through it.

It might not be a bug but an engine limitations but looks strange...

Gurgul

You get this on games as advanced as COD4, its really annoying I agree.

Yup, it's an engine limitation. But quite realistic, if you consider the bulletholes and cracks in the walls, smoke would just flow right through it, lol .

Come to think of it.. what would really be awesome is if there was wind, which would have its effect on smoke and such. Imagine a chopper coming in, creating those.... curly waves thingies.. Niiice!

I think AfterDune killed this thread. But its real and thats all that matters in PR.

And the wind whistles in you ear ...oooOOO Haaaaarrrddcccooodddinnnggggg

Haha, of course it is hardcoded! Please don't think I thought that would be possible

Yes, unfortunately the BF2 engine is far too old to use things like 'soft particles' to do all those nifty smoke effects.

I've seen this issue in Crysis. I imagine it will be around for a while.
