Holy ****. How the hell did this get past thier testers?

You shoot a missle into an oil tower, it gets stuck there, then when an aircraft gets near, the missle either flies away randomly or flies into the aircraft...

1.2 needs a hotfix... which we will most likely then have to hotfix.... ********!

Whoa, looked crazy as hell when they let loose on their own and spazzed out before exploding...

so you could really fill the towers with a few missles and then leave the aa turret and still shoot planes down?

Damn that's another lame exploit. But I think its funny

additional thought
Good maybe it will force more to stay infantry and out of the damn jets.

Well, when they code a glitch, they do it right! That is one funky error...

Thats classic.

I do honestly believe that 1.2 has not only broken PRMM, but also BF2 overall.

Well they got rid of stupid infantry stuff (diving, jumping and firing) but that is indeed quite the uh oh.

only map that I like is Wake Island :D
Although not many like it, it's a great tactiacal map because of the fact that there's not much going on in the way of the jets.

Wake kept vanilla alive to me for a little while.

Oh, Wake Island is the worst for Planewhores. 4 jets constantly making flybys on your sole base while artillery rains down and L96 noobs take potshots is enough to make any grown man give up and leave the server.

Nice one :lol:

I have to agree that Wake is a pilots wet dream. Farely straight bomb runs, and a small area to really worry about. Add in the damn UAV and out go any tactics...

by goodgameral
thats strange... i play usually only on Wake-only servers and i dont think i ever really get hit by bombs from jets...
HOWEVER; Arty is another story... :D lol

this was the first thing i saw when i hoped into a jet with the new patch. First missles i fired went zig zagging arround a enemy jet just like when tous missles come off that tower. Also missles become stuck behind plane engines just like they do on that tower now and again. it gets really disconserting when looking in 3rd person to see this missle stuck on your *** that you know any sec will blow :lol:

Well they did say that they were going to make it harder for the planes and heli's.
EA brings us the "FLAMING TOWERS OF DEATH !!!"

Was it the best solution, probaly not. But it shure has a nice style ;)
God now I actually WANT to install the new patch just to try it out !!!

Damn they found a way to make me go back and try Vanilla a bit longer, how neat is that.

Badass! I must say, it looks really cool. I like when it zigzags everywhere.
