Did this happen?

WebSlinger · Feb 18, 2004

I think this happened? Can it happen?

I was in a raptor HIGH above and just outside of the enemy base. I got the Missile Lock message, so I bailed. Well, I didn't have much health so I cratered.

I respawn, then I start gathering my weapons when I get 2 "You killed..." messages and a Double Kill.

I suppose my raptor landed on some people after it was shot down?

Nice! Yes, your Raptor will do some mean damage if it hits people from on high. :tup:

I've had something similair, I drove the Hellbender up the hill near the middle node, and decided to go down to the node. The Hellbender got stuck on the side of the canyon, so I got out and ran to the node, where I got smeared all over the place by a shot from a Goliath :/ I respawn, gather guns, grab the manta and get a kill. I think the hellbender got loose and droped down on an enemy, killing him in the process

It's cool that vehicles are still "yours" after you drop out. Same goes for shooting people down into the void, I think it finally counts as a kill for you this time.

Yeah, I loved that mutator in UT "Who Pushed Me?", and I was really disappointed that that function wasn't included in UT2003. I'm glad it's in UT2004.

Along those lines, has anyone ever been pushed off the central tower by a teammate? I was the other night. The guy come blowing past in a Raptor and knocked me off. I had 10 health, but the fall didn't damage me at all. :lol:

I wish I had a screenie of this... last night I had a tank parked on the hill outside enemy base, but their core had gone back to being shielded so my assault had to wait. In the meantime I was people running around the base, being a general point whore... I zoomed on a hellbender by the valley node (lower middle or whatever... you know, the one near the base) and blew it off its wheels, killing the driver and passenger. Double kill! THEN... the jeep flipped over and crashed into a Scorpion and I got ANOTHER kill! $\o/$

then someone came after me with AVRiLs....

Why'd they have to go and make things so complicated?

Webslinger, you should have noted the names of the reception commitee down

.

WebSlinger · Feb 18, 2004

Fearless, hehe

SlayerDragon, if you hit the sides of the hills correctly, yes, you can fall off of the top tower and take little or no damage

It kinda goes with WebSlinger's experience. I love trying to drop my Raptor on people. :lol:

I'm most effective with the Manta, but my best moment was with the Raptor. Raiding the enemy base, saw a sniper on their tower. Flew to the tower and did the commando jump/fall. We circle strafed a bit ... then the raptor fell on his head Pure comedy.

Webslinger = 2K4's version of the Kamikasi (sp?)

Edit - oh, wait, you said you bailed. Never mind.

The oddest thing I've had happen (never noticed it in UT1 or 2k3)...I killed 3 people for a multi-kill, died and then instantly killed two people with alt Assault when I respawned and the string carried across my death for a megakill.

I've had that happen in 2K3 a few times. Usually on a crowded DM level like Insidious. I don't know if killing sprees carried over between deaths in UT1 or not, but they definately did in 2K3.

This is something I discovered by accident. I've been able to boost jump off the Manta's wing. It works just like a lift jump, just as the Manta hits the peak of it's jump and then jump yourself. The timing has to be perfect though and I've only done a few times, but if the Manta is going full boar and you do it just right you can get cover some serious ground and get some major air time, especially if the Manta jumps off the top of a hill.

If your timing isn't just right it doesn't work.

Vehicles keep a record of who drove them until someone else does... The Hellbender, for example(Please tell me someone else has noticed this) the plates show HELLBNDR when it spawns, and show the driver's name (Did anyone check the plate?) If you board it, unboard and check the plate, you'll see your name on it (I don't know how does it work if the player's name is longer than 8 chars, tho)

Are they always? I could swear the last time I was in a Hellbender the I in Jinx256 was there. Maybe I imagined it. I'd have to check to be sure.

It works like a charm.

Actually...
I have been pushed off the top tower before and th death message was " {McW}CyMek was pushed by Player"

Also, you can fall all the way, and land on the jumppad... then you take no damage.

But I like taking a vehicle after an enemy leaves it and hearing the car alarm+ "Carjacked!"
Tonight I let some guy fully repeair his vehicle for me and then carjacked it... and crushed him
