Title: GV's hiding in the hills!
Post by: stroker71 on August 19, 2007, 12:53:35 AM
I have seen Mike81st and Slopoke do this...sure there are more.

The roads where the supply trucks come have bridges...and they can hide inside the hills on both sides of said bridge.  Most of the time you can't bomb them and can't shoot them.  Something need to be done with this.  I was hoping to get film of Mike doing this tonight.  I dropped 2 1000# bombs right on top of his location and nothing.  I saw his rounds coming out of the hill with no sight of him.  No icon and no tank....he then landed 6 kills after they recaptured the base.  Taking advantage of the game is one thing but straight cheating should get you banned.

That happened in TT too.

One of the A8's guys was using the glitch to rack up alot of kills.  We could not see him nor shoot at him.   We could however see where his tracer fire was coming from but could do nothing about it.

Rangers dropped a load of bombs on his position but never got any credit for a kill on him.

So I called him out on 200 channel and it turned into a verbal slug fest on how stupid I am on re-upping. aslo his other squaddies just had to get in on the verbal slug fest.                                                                                                            Other Knight players were also killed by said glitch.
I only re-upped to see if I was able to spot him and maybe get a shot.  

Its honorable to die in a fair fight,its dishonorable to use a glitch to get your kills.

Just a follow up to heritic's post. I was attempting to gv in tank town. Upon being spawn camped multiple times from an unseen source I decided to drive to the top of the nearby valley slope so I could look down on the action and see where these campers were. To my surprise I located the hill where the fire was coming from and could not see the tanks.

The following is a link to the editied version of the 30 mintue video.
 
http://files-upload.com/files/445336/film1_glitch.ahf
Sorry you have to wait 30 seconds for the link to become active, free hosting.

Right at the begining opf this 2 minute clip you can see 3 tanks A8 thumper, A8Chewie, and A8jonplr, all hidden under the hill looking at knight tanks spawning. About 15 seconds into the clip A8jonplr fires up his tank and backs out of his hidden location, he is then pounced on and destroyed. Seconds later the other 2 A8 compatriats leave the hill and are destroyed.

Hopefully this film can be useful in attepting to rectify the glitch.

ban them.

nothing will kill a game quicker than people knowing that there are glitches that can be used this way.

the player base for ah2 is small. allowing cheats to get away with this will force people out of the game.

At least its been reported and the terrain will no doubt be fixed accordingly.

I guess its a positive thing that these silly GVer's are doing because it highlights the bug good and proper when everyone cries  CHEAT.

No point in getting 100 kills and thinking your big and tuff when you use an exploit to get them.  Maybe one day they will learn  ;)

You know if you come to that spot from exactly the right direction you cant see that there is a hill there. Maybe they didnt realize they were under the hill?

Just trying to give them the benefit of a doubt. One guy making use of a bug is one thing but this makes the whole group appear guilty and I cant see everyone agreeing to that.

Pretty tough to accidently get into one these invisible hills.  I was getting killed repeatedly by a guy in one so I spent a couple hours tooling around and found a few.  Once you know what type of hill has the glitch, you can find them scattered all over TT.

I admit I drove in and and wacked a few guys, but the shine wore off pretty quick.  The solution isn't banning guys that use them, the solution is fixing the glitch.

Chalenge,
   Just wanted to let you know that I am positive these guys didn't "accidently" drive under the hill. I know this for two reasons.

First the rest of that 30 minute video I edited has them scoring many kills against spawing knight tanks. They even through some shots at me on the hill, but thankfully A8 aim is as good as A8 honor.

Secondly at the point where heretic and I realized something was up we started complaining on 200. One of the A8 sqaud members, A8viper, began making fun of heretic and I for trying to figure out what was going on. "I know i wouldn't keep upping if i got killed twenty times" etc.

Heretic refers to it in his post, but doesn't use names - screw that A8's are dishonorable. Viper you are as bad as the rest for not helping us to figure out what was going on.

Hitechcreations I wish that mods could actually do something useful and control glitch abuses. TY

It must be the only way the A8's can get a kill.  I defended a VB in MW (MidMesa) for almost 2 hours one night in a Tiger (mostly) by myself against these guys while they threw everything they could at me (air and ground).

I re-upped once after safely landing 5-6 kills when I lost a turret.  They finally gave up.  I landed about 17 kills my second time up (~23 A8 kills over 2 hours).

Vans.

You were actually able to hit the tanks in the hill? I Fired probably 20 shots onto the hill they were under, nothing.

Rangers also came through with a set of ju87's and unloaded on the hill, carpet bombed the whole thing, all 3 of the campers survived. Might have video of that if you are interested.



Does this glitch depend on perspective? if I had moved arround the hill would I have seen them from a certian angle?

200 chatter hinted at the fact that maybe the detail settings had something to do with the glitch. "If you don't want to see something then just step down your detail settings" or something to that effect.

Might be nothing, or something.

Well from the way I see it, it looks like he is using the terrain to his advantage. I am sure anyone else would do it too.

I made a film of my run in with Mike81st too.  But No kill on him but you can the the range from me to him on the film get smaller then further away when I dive in his position.  I was on my way in a Stuka when they took the base back and he landed...was hoping for some revenge.:t

Wrong arian! On so many levels.   I don't cheat to get kills.

Add AXER to the list of cheaters caught doing this.  Unfortunatly I didn't get him on tape.  When I called him out about it on ch200 he left but I drove over and found the spot and videoed me in it so that hopefully Hitech can fix it.  There is an opening that allows you to go inside the hill.  Once inside you have a clear view of the battle field allowing you can shoot through the hill but your enemy cant see you to shoot back... not that their rounds would penetrate anyway.  Its like your own personal invisible shield.  Hitech please fix this.

this was supposed to have been fixed in the last patch.

now if it is still happening in this latest patch send in a email and the film to HTC and let them know so it can be fixed once and for all

Yep, e-mailed it to hitech.

Yeah, had some guys doing this in TT last night and braggin' about it.  Watched about 5 guys all trying to roll up the hill to each get thier own little spot on "Make-Out Ridge".  Kind of pathetic that guys have to do this instead of using a 'valid' tactic of hiding.  Instead they have to use a glitch.

BaldEagle, I have been on the recieving end of one of your long-range shots... It isn't the only way the A8's get kills... you just shoot better than them! :rofl
