So we all know of the usual ones!!!

But here are some weierd weird one's i've noticed!


One time in band camp I ..... umm.... i mean... one time at the beginning of a round I found myself being on the USMC team when i wanted to be on the CHINA team, so i though to myself, well lets just change over before everyone spawns in!!! Right..... so now the timer is ticking down ( the 5 seconds or whatever for commander election before the game) and as it reaches 0 I change teams to CHINA... spawn in on their air field, then i see some dude run into the attack chopper, so i decide to join him... lo and behold for some funny reason i cannot get into the chopper with him... some other dude comes running up and hops in, then i realised .... his name was in red... i take a good look around and everone is RED....... somehow i managed to spawn in the enemy base...... not to look a gift horse in the mouth i left loose with my assualt gun!!!



I have sometimes seen soldiers running around in the seated position of the jeep.... ie their 3d model is the dude sitting in the jeep, but there is no jeep and the dude himself is just cruizing around on his ass!!!!


Last night my squad had an APC , we were running around taking flags.... but everytime i got back into the apc, one of the names of the teammates in the apc with me was RED, i checked the player list and he was an enemy.... he was not actually in the apc with us however everytime i got in, it said he was in there with us!!

And on wake island, this fireball appeared over the ocean........ it was weird.... it was there for about 20 seconds... getting a little bigger and changing shape...... i just sat there watching it..... waiting for a klingon or something to pop out ... like a wormhole!!!

Woah, that sounds so hectic! wish they would bring out a patch for these things, ive noticed some of them too.
 
i dont know if its a bug or just delayed game action but once after reloading the next Eryx round went right through an APC... yet the APC was still enemy controlled and operational... and i was two feet away hiding in the bushes... needless to say i ran out of ammo and waited for a buddy to kill the phantom APC... :?
 
Only Bug I get regularly is a "Phantom Chopper".

for some reason the Chopper audio remains once the chopper leaves so I'm constantly looking over my shoulder for a gunship that isn't there.

I haven't seen any of these particular bugs that you guys mention, but I have had the phantom sound bug - usually it's someone's machine gun that is constantly firing - you hear it whenever you're near the guy, even if he's not shooting. I've noticed it stop on the odd occasion - I think it's when the char. fires his weapon again -- not too sure tho.
 
I really like how EA/Dice said that the 1.03 patch would fix the AA - I find the damn AA to be even more useless these days.

Don't even THINK about trying to shoot down a jet with those POS AA stingers - it just doesn't work.

The only time I've managed to take down a chopper since the patch, is if the dude is hovering nearby.
 
AA works on choppers, don't bother shooting at jets unless your really feeling lucky! I spend a lot of time shooting down the chopper boys so i can go get their choppers

The stuck gun sound will go away if the dude with the gun changes back to the gun from his knife/grenade etc etc...
 
The repeating sound problem dissapears if you disable EAX and use the Hardware drivers.

My chief bugging me bug is the selection of spawnpoints. C'mon - it's not fair spawning right in front of an enemy facing you/a jeep at full speed/an apc aiming at you/a tank aiming at you/in the middle of an artillery storm - it's just not fair.

I've noticed that when a player joins, at certain spots in the map, his pattern is created, and you see a flash of a person for a millisecond. It's annoying cos you loose focus for a bit.

A shot to the throat is more effective than a shot to the head - that's wierd.

The sinking body thing - die - sink into a corner or something so that you cannot be revived. That's annoying too.

The moving vehicle thing - don't these vehicles have handbrakes ?

Server selection - it's become painful now - Click Multiplayer - Click Stop Update - Type in -= SGS - Click Refresh - Nothing - Click Update - Nothing. HU ? What happened - this used to work fine ...

thats why i use Xfire to join servers... no internal browsing or IP typing necessary.:rolleyes:
 
Have seen an odd bug in CS where if i press the windows key and change the digital vibrance or gamma or whatever and then maximise the game again, occasionally all the characters are AK47's... nothing stranger than seeing an AK47 run around in mid air and falling to the ground when shot. Also the other night a CT came towards me but it looked like he was crucified - his arms were stretched out to the side and his feet were together and was floating toward me slowly... was so strange i didn't even shoot, was fumbling for the PrintScreen key, eish.

Got the sound bug on IV last week. Machine gun of one of my fellow squaddies. Kept wondering if the enemy would hear us coming.

Also had the one where I can't get up off of ground. Hey shoot me I'm an invalid! Was linked to lag I think.
Any of you seen the Counterstruck vid? Very funny. 5.19Mb Never played the game but other FPS experience helped me see the humour. Is it already posted anywhere for all to see? If not how does one go about it?
