A flying reader

Is... is that, a walker?

**ThePenguineer** · 12-30-2006, 09:11 AM

Similarly....

I suppose Fehmart took my advice about Squad Leading to heart and found a way to cower without the enemy ever thinking to find him. Step aside, Solid Snake....

I knew Reader had a few tricks up his sleeve, but this is simply ridiculous.

I had a walker bug once where the walker didn't walk: it glided across the ground without any sway. I don't know how it did it, but it felt like I was driving a tank.

**Tarenth** · 12-30-2006, 02:57 PM

That might actually be the jitter bug...um...bug. Its where your walker starts to dance around in place and actually is in constant motion counter to the movement you get from walking. The result is when you're moving you feel like you're standing still and when you're standing still it feels like you're moving.

Also...that's insane. How the heck did you get a walker up there? O.o

Now for some fun pretend dialogue.

AAGuner: Troops below us, fire the guns!
Reader: I can't, the guns don't go that low!
AAGuner: Oh no, they spotted us! What do we do?
Reader: I have an idea...
*step*
*squish*

Honestly, I probably should play at Penguin's settings; my framerate isn't too hot most of the time, though everything looks kinda...chunky.

As for the hiding in plain sight thing, that's from the super-unlock, active camo that comes with a strip of tape, so you can keep the switch depressed while you run around and shoot.

I'd really like to hear Reader explain this, rofl

**Reader1234** · 12-31-2006, 04:03 AM

OK!! I will let you all in on the secret. Follow these steps; press F9, then CTRL C take two steps backward (without looking), look left, look left again then look right three times, and finally call in the mother ship and ask for a lift.

In other words I don't know how I got up there, and worse I don't even remember being up there! Hmmm Maybe there was a mother ship. LOL! Thanks for the pic Yoyi, I would love to see EA try to explain it.

Well on a side note, Don't let your friends who know photoshop to take screenshots of you.

Yoyi · 01-02-2007, 11:42 AM

I know how it happened but Im not telling

I'll guess it is the same as the BF2 flying tanks

Was playing last night and saw a similar thing. A friendly tank came rolling into the the base we were defending, it all of a sudden rolled on its side at a 45 degree angle and rode for about 20-30 feet that way (while on flat ground). It then rolled on it's side and then completely over. I didn't get a pic of it, but it was really funny. The only thing I saw was one of those insane bouncing mines skipping around and going about 75-100 feet in the air. I'm wondering if he ran over the bouncing mine and it jacked the tank up. The same thing could possibly explain reader's walker being jacked in the air. Although it has happened to me as a player just walking around so really not sure what it might be.
