It was never coded into the game because apparently, the waves of the water would damage/destroy the vehicle inside the hovercraft. I wish they would re-add it, but I know they never will.
What they should do, though, is make a better troop lander. One that can take more than 1 hit from an AT rocket.
Or they could replace RIBs with APCs. That might work too.

Tis a shame. Would've been cool to have some LCACs in-game.Havok wrote:

They could, but knowing EA, you'd have to pay $10 to use it.cowami wrote:

Only problem is that there'd most likely be one per carrier.cowami wrote:

That's true. Of course, the only way for it to be really effective was if DICE added ships to provide shore bombardment. That would probably also mean multiple carriers, which naturally, wasn't going to happen, so...acEofspadEs6313 wrote:

But you have to admit, it looks kinda sexy. And it sure as hell looks like it could take more than one AT rocket to it.
yeah they did that in PR. You get 2-6 APCs in the carrier.cowami wrote:

The LCAC is nowhere to be found in the game files. It was taken out long before release. Sorry to disappoint.
Looks sexier in person. I see them all the time doing training exercises with the Marines.cowami wrote:

Why would waves of water effect it? I wasn't aware the waves in BF2 were anything more than graphics.
Well, I read somewhere that it was because of the way that BF2 is coded and that any vehicle on it would just explode, take damage or whatever (like cartillery - apart from not being "dropped onto it ).Flaming_Maniac wrote:

But yeah...waves seem a bit, hmm.
You know how when you drive a vehicle other than an APC into the water, it begins taking damage? The same would apply to having a tank in the LCAC. Also, the tank would probably slide off. The same thing happens to people who jump onto a RIB (not get into, but jump onto). Plus, DICE would have to code a vehicle entry button for the LCAC, since pressing E would kick you out of whatever vehicle you were trying.Flaming_Maniac wrote:

Snake's right. Try to land an AH-1Z on the back of a BTR and you'll see what I mean.
Oh, and waves are just bump maps on the water. No physical objects.

I guess I was proven wrong on my wave theory. I was merely reposting what I read in one of these threads before that said that waves damaged the vehicles. For all we know, actually, physical wave may have been part of the beta BF2, but it was taken out like almost everything else. Possible, though unlikely.
I'd rather have no waves than the waves they'd put if BF2. Having the same style of waves going all the time would be boring and easy to maneuver once you figured it out.Havok wrote:

One thing i read was that they took it out because there was only one or two maps that had the hovercraft in it.
also it IS still in the localization files. KILLMESSAGE_VEHICLE_lcac LCAC

think about the rape fest for the jets and choppers.

Therefore, 1 TV missile = 54 kills!
Uber stat-padding.
I don't like TVs.
Have to do it in a J10. "Hai guys" *boom* 54 kills later, you go back to carrier raping.

Hm. The fords don't damage vehicles, why couldn't they code the thing like those?
Oh, like you have that kind of teamwork.cowami wrote:

You're more likely to get 2, one for the guy who took off on everyone, and a guy who took a leap of faith onto the thing.
Edit:
Just had a thought:
noob engineer + landmine = instaban
M-M-M-Monster Kill!
