Vehicle Surfing

KernolKlusterFk · 2012-09-17, 05:39 PM

Why deny the players what they see in the trailer? Why cant players chill on tanks and planes adding much more fun to the game? All the time in war you will see people sitting on tanks to get around. And admit it, it would be awsome to have 2 dudes chilling on a Mosquito with rocket launchers? Im guessing it has to do with Lag optimization for the server but DAMN it would be cool to see people being able to do it.

Eh, I've heard of people stacking a Sunderer on a Galaxy... I doubt it'd be too hard to just stand on them...

That was during the Alpha. Im in the Beta and you cant stand ontop of moving tanks or aircraft without sliding off.

You are incorrect, sir. That was during the Beta. You can still do it.

Really? Last time I played I tried and it didnt work. I slided off when the driver moved the prowler. I even tried on a mosquito. Know of any videos of dudes surfing on vehicles?

They can fill up the bio lab with tanks while the fight is still far from it, all it takes is one gal pilot who isn't terrible and whoever is going to drive the tanks, park them at every entrance and blast anyone who even peeks inside.
I too find it funny as hell and it may not be so OP, i'd do it every time i had the opportunity, but i know why the opportunity shouldn't be there in the first place: the idea of the bio lab is to have an infantry only base for the sake of gameplay diversity.

This is probably just one of the many reasons:

Dude that should be further reason to do it LOL!!! If that were done in a game today the Galaxy would get shot down in the 1st minute it gets off the ground. But shit like that would be halarious, cmon dont take that out of the game.

Exactly my Point SniperSteve thanks. The game would be much more interesting if they just left these things in the game. Sometimes I feel developers forget its a video game lol.

Actually, blame the players that deployed engineer turrets on the wings of a Gal.

I vote we make the surface of the gal invalid for turret placement. It's easy, and you're doing it everywhere else anyway.

ts;dr Turrets are not an excuse, please put piggybacking vehicles back in.
