First off, I never knew that if you flew over an artillery gun while it was firing, it would kill you. I just thought they were animations, but it looks like that arty round is live from the moment it leaves the gun. I'm sure most of you knew that since you're not as dumb as me.

Second, what's up with this bug? I was commander on this server and my arty kept getting destroyed everytime I fired it so finally I went to check it out. You can see from the video that the arty seems to be hitting itself right after firing... very odd, and very cool.

Haha yes, everytime I used arty I would lose like -4 to -6 pts and I didn't know why. Until I saw that arty action.

Since it was blowing itself up, it probally also killed the engineer.

erm, are you SURE you weren't accidentally placing the arty on itself? no offence, just that it seems a possibility.............

I guess with repair points coming so slow, it's not such a bad idea

And no, I was not placing arty on itself... as you can see the arty is getting hit AS it is firing, not after. I would still get kills from wherever I placed the arty in the first place. Like the chopper pad or the airstrip.

Wonderful coding like this sure makes me want to jump on the 2142 bandwagon! I can only assume the geniuses at Dice produced a gem this time around!

Seriously I can't wait to see the 213423344558 issues like this that rear their ugly heads in the next few months. If you bought 2142, you probably:

1. have too much cash on your hands
2. didn't play BF2 enough to realize that, although a great game for many reasons, the 10000 monkeys typing away at Dice HQ got lucky with that first version (and had agreeably less success on future attempts)
3. didn't play BF2 past ver. 1.12...
4. are under the age of 14 and think being in a vaguely humanoid robot standing 18' tall is the "l337357 thing evAr!1!!!!"

I might buy another Dice game if it drops to bargain-bin status in less than 6 months...or if I feel really, REALLY full of self-loathing at the moment.

Both unlikely.

What you say about arty being a live round fromt he second it fires is true.

I was killed by my commander's arty in a blackhawk once while leaving our uncap base.... meaning I got killed by the up shot.

The destination was across the map.

Even better, I've seen arty magically repair itself, especially the Chinese arty on Dragon Valley.

Any commander asset, after a while, will magically be restored. I hate playing a map, seeing our commander assets blown up, and finally getting the nerve to fix it for our team. Suddenly when I spawn, everything is A OK! The assets didn't magically repair as soon as I spawned near them as an engineer, no, it's just my map didn't bother updating. But who fixed it? The magic repair fairy obviously, mans!

But running with your wrench is pretty stylish. If you could actually strike and kill people with it, then it would really be intimidating. Yea, that's right buddy, try knifing me in the back again while I'm repairing my commander's assets! I'll turn around and club you on the head, then t-bag you while I repeatedly say "Okay. Okay. Roger. Okay. Roger. Thanks Boss. Thanks, I owe you one." and hope you cry medic so I know you saw it and laugh to myself! :b
