No more ex packs?

maverick514 · 05-24-2003, 03:34 PM

This seems to be quite i werid decision on DICE's part. BUt i already thought that you could turn off the ex pack jumping if you turn of splash. I wouldn't want them to take it completely away, becuase the splash adds to the excitement in a battle. I am also one that likes the nade splash, because if a person is close enough to a nade to be thrown, then, effectively, they should be dead. So, this just gives you that extra time to switch back to your assault rifle.

I think it's gay. To see someone flying in the air 500 feet above the ground is gay. TAKE IT OUT!!!!

grim reaper · 05-24-2003, 04:58 PM

i think they should have an option to turn it on or off, i love flyying with these things, its so fun.

The Black Sickle · 05-24-2003, 05:54 PM

I think the way they have it is fine. They basically already have the on/off option, I think the friendly splash damage does it. Ex-pack jumping is one of those fun little things that keeps this game going, why I have had this game installed for 9 months straight so far. You can play with friendly fire if you want "total" realism. I don't see this happen regularly enough to think it is some kind of problem.

Take it awat??? No chance. I love the ex-pack. Blowing yourself up in the air is entertaing and you can also do great stunts.

Vizior · 05-24-2003, 06:16 PM

expacks are basically the best redeeming quality of engys... give them a decent chance to take out tanks...

PxR|GrimJack · 05-24-2003, 06:50 PM

I keep hoping they will just get rid of the stunt ability somehow

Milo · 05-24-2003, 06:50 PM

If u don't like expack jumping then stay on FF on servers.... why punish those who do like goofing around with them.

Soyuz · 05-24-2003, 07:21 PM

Im actually REally PISSED OFF at Ea for doing this. I meen who ever got this I dea should go to hell and stay there. Im gonna hate them for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Black Sickle · 05-25-2003, 05:17 AM

There really isn't any reason for them to be "fixing" things that aren't broken. The gameplay is tried and true, they shouldn't go messing with it. I would think that they would be more worried about all the real bugs that they still haven't manage to fix. Every once in a while when the program starts or when it's loading my speakers scream out the noise of hell itself.

Maybe your computer is possessed. You should really see a clergyman about that.

BF is just half a year old and we are moaning about an expansion pack that is due released in over half a year. In this half year pf BF we have reached version 1.31, nearly even 1.4 so in half a year we probably will be around 1.6. Most of the bugs and inbalances will have been fixed by then and probably a few new weapons added aswell.

TNT · 05-25-2003, 05:26 PM

I'm myself wondering how is it possible to do it without taking the splash out of the game.

Rexxie · 05-25-2003, 05:31 PM

I think it's the dumbest thing they've done.. 50% of the stunts are done with expacks, and we love our stunts, don't we?

Why take it out, I don't see what's wrong with it at the current state.

Ah, go play a stunt mod then...

Soyuz · 05-25-2003, 06:45 PM

I hope thell get a good idea to replace it. I was thinking maby If I were to stand on top of a tank and some one blew it up I would fly pretty high but then that doesn't resolve the cool jeep jumps. IM MAD!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, sure, there are alot of those mods out..
+ if they removed the expacks, they would probably have to recode it themselves

Deserter · 05-25-2003, 11:45 PM

bah, leave the expacks! they're far more versatile than mines as they can take out infantry as well! bah i say! bah!!

Clarification is required:
ExPack Jumping....not Expacks. Expacks will always be an essential piece of BF.
