On the new Caustic Valley one team can be shot by the other teams drop ships right when you drop. Anybody else noticed that?
One of our team members lost 2% right when due to that yesterday.

He probably deserved it. Karma via B grade FPS.

Yeah, I've been shot 2 times that way in my crab.
It was kind of funny...

This actually happens sometimes at River City.
I think there is a glitch in those shuttles... Maybe they should've not used CW shuttles, but another unarmed versions.

Or they could just have commented out the weaponry part of the dropship code, but that would require someone understanding what part of the code does that.

The same part that allows shooting through the walls. Extraordinary rare event, but happens. The hitreg registering front shot on the back armor can be of the same origin.

You mean other than the whole map? Caustic Valley was one of the "open" maps which favored long range warfare. The new version makes it juast another brawler's paradise. I haven't beein impressed with the new maps in general, but this changes the entire character of the map, and changes the diversity of experience. Nascar was not a map problem it is a player problem.

This is a bug on the Galaxy map that is rare and can be quite bad actually. The dropships can shoot friendly team sometimes for some odd reason. Quite a few times in a single match and even at mechs that are nearby and not being dropped.

We had two players lose 3% off CT each at the start of an NBT raid the other night. Not amusing...

[sycocys]

It's almost like they intentionally put "bugs" in the game so they don't have to work on anything else.

It's war and we need the RNJesus (not a nurse, you understand, but the random number generator) to help balance the odds from being ROFLStomped!

[Yellonet]

Yeah, happened to me, and I've seen it happen to teammates.

[Kodyn]

PGI finally found a way to nerf Yoki I see. They're just trying to be fair to the assaults that spawned on his OPFOR.

This map has quite a few bugs..

I posted several LOD issue bugs to customer support, and they are working on it.

Keep posting them through customer support.

Worst Thing : Assaults spawn on Flanks - who got this glorious Idea ? Spawn Locations are just annoying and unnecessary as Teams will never play Lance vs Lance as PGI had it in Mind. Spawn all at same Location again.

To be fair, the community asked for the separated spawn points.

Agreed.
I like the new River City and Forest Colony (I miss the cave though), but the new Caustic Valley is completely different from the original, I miss the old version.

On the other hand, Mordor can't get worse (I hope so).

Having a drop zone RIGHT next to the enemy? Yeah what could go wrong with that? Oh wait, we can drop Assaults there too? even better!
