Bad News From The Front

[Red Devil]

Ladies and gentlemen, I have some disturbing news from the front.  It appears that the enemy AI has become sentient and have developed a frightening new capacity.  I am posting some snippets of transcripts from the front.  More news to follow.

Speaking from experience, the only thing I can say is that if you see an enemy pilot in future, *run*.  Don't look back, just *run*.

Which map was this, and what version of 1.3 was it?

[PhoeniX-FlamE]

ZTV?  

[Zero Angel]

You must be giving your snipershells some insane killradius values, becuase AIs aim at HP_com and not hp_eyepoint.

[NoK0mm3nt]

Zero, it depend which way the tank is rotated... eg, com and eye would be inline at front and back facings...

[Tempest Storm]

Thats not nessesarily true, and either way the snipershell needs to hit the spot in the radius to snipe, which on stock shells is very small.

[Angstromicus]

that's what kill radius does, what does kill lenght do?

[NoK0mm3nt]

line up 5 soldiers in a row, then snipe them. You will find out.

[PhoeniX-FlamE]

play ZTV, ull see all the sniping shots around! make sure ur in a big toy  

[Angstromicus]

Seems like a pretty cool idea could be made out of that. Rail gun sniper lol.

[Red Devil]

All I know is that if I don't run, I find myself back at base pretty quick.  And even when I run, they''re chasing me and their shots are falling all around me or richocheting off my vehicle even while trying to avoid them.  They're relentless and merciless.

It's amazing how much it changes the game.  They're no longer roadkill.  *You* are.  Then they take your vehicle and use it against you.  And then your guys sometimes take it back.  You can no longer kill another vehicle and then go about your business because they come after you.  You *cannot* sit still when they are around.  They attack everything, including GT's and anything on your side.  I've lost GT's to them.  They take my unit which has insane weapons in it and use them against me too.

[PhoeniX-FlamE]

depends... what map were u playing anyways?

[Aegeis]

Is this what the new ZTV is doing?  Maybe I should put my pc back together again and start messing around with bz2 like I used to.

[BZZERKER]

Nope, not ZTV. It's something Red is working on to give everybody a bigger headache in 1.3 . I'm kind of surprised he would bring this up in the public forum seeing until recently, he's been the only one to have the assets and it's "hardly" been tested.

[Aegeis]

Oh, well in that case back to my PS2.
