... you throw a mine.. die and get ATB... does your mine still stay around for its 30 odd seconds and now will it kill the new enemy?

...you throw a claymore and get disconnected... does the claymore stay around still... who will get credited with the kill?

..you have a dumbass commander... well all you gotta do is go put c4 over his ass... run to the enemy base.. grenade yourself... swap teams.. pick up your kit and detonate

point 1 yes.

point 2 no.

point 3 no. swapping teams removes your kit me thinks.

Dunno. This is something worth testing.

mmm... swapping teams cant be done if the amount of players is even.

depends on the server... server 1 can be rather strict with it... but 90% successfull on the other servers.. just swap when spawn time is 0... then quickly select a flag

I have swapped teams before on an even set ...

It's like :
SWAP ... GUGRLING BLOODY SOUND.
Aaaah .. on new team, - 2 points.
Server message : You have been moved to the other team.
Aaaaarg ... back on old team :mad: !

[side]
Sometimes I loose the connection, come back and retain my old score.
Now ... is my old mine still there ?

I only know that if you drop mines and die, they stay around for 5 mins or so. Also, you can only have a certain maximum of mines on the map, if you drop more, then the oldest one will be removed or so (I think, not sure about the last one).

I also know that you can detonate C4 from the other end of the map (tested that out of curiosity in single player - Fu She 64, flew From USMC to China Base, placed C4 on UAV, flew back to USMC base and clicked the detonator - works). That's kind of bull though, I think there should be a max radius for the detonator...

5 mines max... 5 c4 max... oldest 1 is always removed!

you die.. unselect all spawn points... countdown reaches 0... choose other team.. it swaps you... it starts thinking hold on, unbalanced need to swap back.. but you quickly choose spawn point and spawn in...

Also, if you are a squad leader, YOU CANNOT BE ATB'd!!! This is a very important retarded thing that EA made in their patch, as it means you can do the following:

die, need to change teams
change teams AND QUICKLY
press insert (which is default create new squad)
you are sql on a diff team

and you stay!

:) tried and tested :)

You'll only get ATB'd when you die - so stay alive long enough for some other freak to get ATB'd. ;)

Dunno. This is something worth testing.

I thought you guys were about accidental TKs. Testing this out by c4ing the commander and swapping sides seems too calculated.

I was actually referring to the mines and claymores.
Should have quoted.

:rofl:

I understand why it needs to be done for the game, but when it happens to me.... ARRGGG! I could scream, throw things etc....

Invariably this only happens to me, when I'm on the winning team - Duh, which makes sense. It normally picks me, as I'm the one dying all the time.

TG: Maybe we should have a Frag Rate Ranking (FRR - 'snigger' - another hak-ro-nim to remember), lowest at the top, then I'd be near the top of the list... I know - this is not a good thing :cry:
