wierd happenings

madrab

well last night i was playing on the tig server, and appart from the usual friends showing as enemies & enemies showing as friends (soo annoying), it was going fine

suddenly a friend (well i thought it was) killed me, luckilly i was revived BUT when i came back i had been givin a weapon upgrade, unfortunately i was killed a few mins later and lost the gun


anybody have this happen to them before?

jaggeh

when you die you drop your bag, if theres another bag nearby you may get that instead when you are revived.

kaimera

so you can pick up weapon upgrade kits from fallen comrades and enemies?

do they become unlocked for you then if you keep the kit for the round length?

Gone West

You can only use them for that round. As soon as you die, you lose the weapon. theres no easy way around this unfortunately.

Deadwing

what normally happens is, if you die as a medic, some good soul will pick up your medic kit, revive you, and the you spawn with thier kit. Whoever revived you probably had an unlocked gun, happened to me a few times

doud

Yeah same here, you can pick up unlocked kits and play around till you're alive. The reviving thing too, when I get revived after a mass kill and there are many kits around I sometimes one other kit

DouD

vibe666

huh. i was wondering why that happened.

madrab

[noob]can you pick up someones kit while you are still alive? [/noob]

Spear

And just to make things even more fun, it's possible to be revived without a kit if there isn't one close enough for whatever reason, leaving you running around with your arms out, weaponless.

madrab

yeah i have seen that before, its funny

Big Nelly

Walk over someones kit. Press G and you'll suddenly change kit to whatever they had and also get whatever weapons they have already unlocked.

Just thought I'd post this list here in case there are other 'basic' things that some haven't found in the game yet (mostly due to the so-called manual).



Right mouse button fires the coaxil machine gun in tanks.

Press X for smoke in armour vehicles.

Right-click grenades to thrown them further/shorter.

When dead press C to scrool through your team mates to see them playing.

Slide down ladders by using the SHIFT key.

In commander mode, the satallite can zoom in by 3 times (only 2 for squad-leader) so you can actually see people moving and spot them for teammates.

When climbing up ladders, press F11 to switch to 3rd person view. You can see if claymores have been planted without getting too close to set them off. F10 to go back to normal view.


You can duck on stationary MG placements.

Press 3 to change the rate of fire on the primary weapon is allowed (single shot/burst/full auto)

The TV guided missles can be guided by clicking the mouse several times while the missle is in the air.

Press Q, right click on 'spotted' and you can choose from a list the item you want to spot.

When injured, press left mouse button to call for a medic.

Use the F-keys to switch positions in jeeps/APC/choppers.

Pressing ENTER while injured prevents medics from reviving you.

Press the T button to request new orders, ask for arty, ask for supplies.

How do you apply to be commander at the start of a round ?

madrab

this one i know

at the start of the level if you press the "home" button to see what squads are available, at the top where it says commander their is an apply button, it takes a few seconds to see who wants to be commander, and givves it to the highest ranked player that wants to do it (i think )

vibe666

you can apply to be commander at the unit/spawn selection screen by clicking on the 'squad' tab and clicking on apply next to commander.

this is also where you can start a mutiny against a bad commander if he's getting you killed.
