Best ingame physics experience you've seen

Several for me actually:

1.) Driving a wraith, hit a rock at about 65, wraith tipped over, and kept sliding down the hill until it hit another rock. After hitting that rock, I was catapulted into the air and with my ingame map, I was flying across the continent. I eventually landed on the other side of the continent and fell into a lake. I ran out but still had the oxygen meter decreasing. I was on dry land the whole time but no matter where I went, it would still go down. I eventually drowned on a mountain...next to a tree.

2.) Prowler was rammed by a sunderer and was pushed over the base wall.

3.) An enemy NC AMS jumped a hill and kept flying into the air. It was eventually stuck in the air so the driver attempted to get out and died instantly. We eventually called a reaver in to shoot it down.

I think it's unbalanced how a reaver can shoot an AMS out of the air like that. The AMS needs machine guns or something to defend itself.

Hehehe.

SmilingBandit · 2003-06-24, 01:40 PM

It's a shame he couldn't deploy it before he died.

Slab · 2003-06-24, 01:41 PM

Aye.

Would be nice to picture guys stepping out of it and taking 91 falling damage.

Oh, an oldie but a goodie.

I was walking around in an infiltrator suit and was walking down some stairs.

A friendly shoved me in the back; I flew into the air and down which cost me 67 HPs.

I was shooting at some enemies from fairly long range with a cycler the other day...all of a sudden, I noticed I was moving toward them quite rapidly. Swinging around, I saw that I was literally on the bumper of a harasser that seemed to be going full speed! I couldn't move, so I pulled out the striker, and started firing...alas, when the harasser blew, I did as well, but it still was entertaining

I'd have to say it was when I borded the HART. When the map came up to chose a drop point, an oxygen meter came up and was depleteing. I thought nothing of it, but drowned. I still chose my drop point, and droped down. I had picked a spot right in the middle of like 5 spitfires. They kept shooting me, along w/ 5 other people, and I did not die. I ran around invincible, and finally died when i jumped off a railing and took fall damage.

I was on a bridge and was firing Strikers at an enemy AMS which had just entered the bridge on the other side. I was certain he'd squash me, but he hugged the other rail and suddenly a friendly AMS zoomed past me on the right and they rammed each other head on. I continued to pound the enemy AMS with my Strikers and as he got to lower health he realized he had a chance to take me out with him, so he somehow got around the friendly AMS and barrelled towards me. I fired one last Striker (point blank, I knew I was a goner and may as well take myself out while trying to take him out) which surrounded me with explosion and destroyed the enemy AMS. The resulting explosion then destroyed our AMS on the bridge. I ended up in the middle of the whole thing with the wreckage of the enemy AMS on top of me, with 0 damage.

I once spawned at a crowded AMS and soon as I get my vision, I see myself flying through the air waaaaaay far away and over mountains. I finally landed and took about 30 hp of falling damage, but was a good 4000m from the AMS. Best part was after I landed, I saw about 10 other people fly through the air and land in the same spot.

Hello,

A friend was driving a sunderer into an enemy base. On the outside of it to the right we saw two enemy troops. They were too close for the guns. (I was in it gunning and so was the rest of the squad)

The driver then decided to ram them with the vehicle. Much to our surprise, as we rammed into seemingly two infantry between a couple trees and the outside wall of the base, the sunderer flew violently up into the air and instantly exploded. As we watched in horror, we looked down on our screens and saw a stealthed wraith right below the burning hulk that once was us.

Apparently, they are quite powerful, much more than a shrub which only acts like a brick wall to a sunderer, and striking a wraith with a sunderer means instant death!!! hee hee To all of you wraith drivers out there, I highly recommend stealthing them and leaving them parked at entrances to bases, on roads, and around towers. You'll crack up laughing as one little wraith takes out entire squads. If it gets damaged, just go out and repair it.

Who needs mines when you have a wraith?

;-)

BTW, the wraith looked fine, and it survived...

Was on a tower roof, the sloped one, some friendly came along and pushes me, I flew out of tower, throught a Reaver thatw as like 200 meters away and then fell to my death...

The guy who pushed me must have been Mr. Universe

ColdbringeR · 2003-06-24, 02:03 PM

One time i spawned at an AMS, got shot out of the tube at about 500 miles per hour into a hill that sent me flying into the air, and about a mile out into the middle of the ocean. I then drowned trying to walk back. It was fun.

I've had the exact opposit happen before. Once I was in a reaver and I landed on the cost. After I landed, it started to slide into the water. First the vehicle bar came up and depeleted then my oxygen came up. I got out of the vehicle then got back in only to have my oxygen bar dissapear. I then got back out again and was able to walk around the ocean floor without having to worry about oxygen at all.

I've yet to get this again. Oh, and it wasn't lag damn it.

Diviant · 2003-06-24, 02:08 PM

If my experience was lag, how do you explain that I died, then came back and killed people, while not taking damage
