Dolphin diving was a tactic once.

note to self: mine the crap out of the mountains...

That doesn't work so well, the mines slide.

And there are so many possible routes once you're actually on top of the mountains, completely blocking access is near impossible.

Honestly, Dispo, I was mostly tired of people complaining about North Bridge being blown and insisting a rule be created to keep it from being destroyed.

And also, I want to see better truck drivers so I know that I don't have to do it myself or hope the few good ones are on to make sure it gets done right.

That's totally different, that's an exploit. Knowing where the hill isn't steep enough to drive up is not.

Never, ever said people couldn't use it. I simply made an observation that in the time that I've played Jabal since Bullseye posted his video, I've seen it used every time. You guys are the ones putting words into my mouth and making assumptions as to what I meant.

**orpal** · 11-09-2009, 04:24 PM

Yea, we played Jabal together last night. There were quite some trucks trying to pass that area, some failed some actually passed. I encourage more ''how to'' videos to be followed as learning something new is always a good thing.
In time I hope players will actually have choices to take while driving that truck.

But like anything new and gold nugget like, people want to try it out and get their own opinion on it.

I'm not saying the videos don't have merit, I'm just saying that just like dolphin diving, prone diving, nadespam, etc. was once obscure, it will soon become wide-spread.

**orpal** · 11-09-2009, 06:33 PM

So knowledge of the map is becoming wide-spread thus making it bad ?
You might call me dumb but I still don't get your point. We all learn every day on the server, and we pass our experiences to players that will eventually replace us, experiences within .bf2 original engine limits. Those experiences are called tactics or knowing the map- you're trying to win the game not by using flaws, but with tactics.
There is a very thin line between tactics and exploits, but I think using common sense will usually tell you the difference between right and wrong.

Dolphin diving, prone diving,nade spamming sure aren't what our Swedish buddies were thinking whilst making Bf2.
Do you think PR Devs explicitly designed Jabal to make Dam,South bridge or Jabal reachable only by bridge ? I think its already a glitch that the only bridge leaving MEC main can be destroyed.

Don't get me wrong it can be considered as an exploit if DEV's didn't wanted for you to get up there. But do you seriously think that is the case ? It's more of a glitch they didn't put a second road coming from west do Dam if you ask me.

But that is just me, and I'm wrong a lot.

I don't think it matters that everyone now uses this route. We should try to teach others different ways of doing things and getting to places. Just because yuo found a secrest way doesn't mean that you shouldn't tell anyone else about it. So again thanl you bulls for showing everyone a safe alternate route if the bridge is blown.

Delta*RandyShugart* · 11-10-2009, 01:33 AM

I'd like to see the Dam crossway blown up more, halting the USMC advance entirely, yes there are ways to get the truck across as well for MEC, and even over and within the dam area once its blown, I haven't perfected it yet, but I am trying to work on it.

Still I find fools road to be one of the toughest maps to drive trucks on, though I am pretty decent at driving them/letting them slide downhill, I relate it to driving in the winter and hitting an icy patch/snow on the ground.

Kozelick in the hills......now that is a map that really is a double black diamond for truck driving.

Anyone notice that the grass effects in qinling make the trucks slip and slide more? Or is it just me?

Could an admin please add this to the first post?

#3 will be how to get to Hill 163.

** NOTE: Still Youtube processing, very low quality at the moment.

Good video. Love the quality.

**Startrekern** · 01-05-2010, 02:38 AM

It's still processing, as I said in the first annotation.

I uploaded it 20 minutes ago. Youtube takes a long time to process the videos. It'll be in beautiful HD later.

**Axis_Sniper** · 01-05-2010, 10:07 AM

I was actually being serious Star, it was processed when I watched it.

Third video coming soon. Could an admin please update the original post with the proper links?
