Thank goodness they are fixing the AMS catapult bug. It always sucks spawning at an AMS you are hurrdled out of the tube at like 100 mph and hit a tree... splat. That happened to me 3 times in a row the other night... frustrating.

What is the speedstep detection fix?

* Spitfire Turrets will no longer fire sideways.

Huh? What does that mean exactly? They can only shoot at aircraft?

Nice, sounds like they are going to clean a lot of those irritating bugs out of the house.

* Players will no longer be propelled out of AMS spawn tubes at high velocity


I dont know why, but the way they phrased that made me chuckle.

Haven't you seen the spitfires that appear to be shooting at something but the bullets take a 90 degree turn as they are fired? I don't know if its a grafix thing or if there was a hit detection bug as well?

That "bug" will always be a "feature" to me.

It's interesting that the reload exploit is being addressed so quickly after cHaM's campaign. Makes you wonder if it was already slated or if it made the list partly because of him.

I still don't see my getting out of an AMS and ending up on the other side of the cont. bug.

I haven't had that happen. I have been shot out into nearby objects and been left with 15 health though.

Jesus fringgin' christ FINALLY!!!

Those are a major part of a cloaking combat eng's weaponry and to plant one just to have it swing around and smack u square in the face just sucks.

That bug was around long ago, fixed, then it returned again. hehe

Laptops that have variable speed CPU's have adverse affects on the game.
