Vehicle Surfing

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Yeah, but you shouldn't just BLAME them - you should THANK them as well - just look around for some vids of people moving vehicles now and think how OP it could be ...

Aye I've seen the prowler video

EvilNinjadude · 2012-09-18, 12:50 PM

And it was awesome. Setting all that up was hard, and a Tank inside a Biolab might actually not be THAT OP. In fact, it should be less OP than usual.

I actually want people to be able to carry other people (preferably LAs) on the roof. If you want you can make them slip off when the pilot tilts too much, to stop them from just using the Faction vehicles as Super Taxis.

Tl;Dr not OP enough to justify.

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?

He probably meant alpha or tech test.
