Title: Travesty :mad
Post by: Furball on April 08, 2006, 06:42:46 PM
Deej, an old friend, comes online for the first time in ages.

All we want to do is do some jeep base jumping off the 15k cliff in DA, for old times sake like we did in M8.

We go in there, low and behold, NO VEHICLES AVAILABLE!

NO JEEPS AVAILABLE ANYWHERE IN DA! OR TA!

This is a travesty, i pay my 14.95 a month and i expect to be able to go jeep base jumping off 15k cliffs.

FREE THE JEEPS!

:mad: :furious :mad: :furious :mad:

Vehicles are available in the TA.  You just have to go to a remote field.  Vehicles are available in the DA, in the vehicle section of the map.

I've built a 20K cliff as part of a new terrain, and have driven jeeps off of it. (c'mon... right? :D)

Even at full speed, the jeep does not have enough momentum to clear the half-mile horizontal distance between the top of the cliff and the bottom of it... so you get sorta "stuck" about 3/4 of the way down. Then you dislodge, fall another 50 feet, get stuck. Dislodge, get stuck.... for the next 20 minutes. It's a little weird.

But that initial 40-second fall is a blast. :)

I took an M16 up about 15K on a mountain in the MA. I eventually turned it to an enemy base and put it in neutral. Ended up rolling onto an enemy field and I think I got a kill or 2 out of it. I have the film somewhere

Agreed. You'll notice he's now requesting a terrain with bridges in various states of disrepair. This could be one of the worst cases of DoHI that I've seen.

Did you have a take off ramp you could free wheel to???
Title: Jumping GVs is fun....
Post by: Atoon on April 10, 2006, 02:45:22 PM
But for me, landing them is more fun.  When I got bored with deteriorating A2A gameplay issues, I spent a few days driving GVs around and looking for cool landable jumps. On a good far jump, you bounce a couple times.:aok
