That's a very old trick (bug) from UT (1999). When you sit on smth thin and it moves, you stay in that place even if it is in the air.
It was even worse, it was image drop trick. Meaning that in such situation your image is projected somewhere on the ground. So you become invisible, and players are shooting your image without any effect. In UT2004 you can rarely become invisible like that, but also possible. Didn't you see "fire from the sky"?
I've seen that situations when a flagcarrier is shot from raptor and don't fall, waiting for another raptor.

But you cant fall and just freeze on the way. It's not how this bug works. Only if you are shot from the vehicle.

Ive seen something like that before, too. Two times in one match I pushed the flag carriers into the first hole, in front of our base. There was no raptor waiting, no alien jump. He/She just felt down the map, then he/she scored.
Did he die? Did you see him fall down?
You know, its possible to stay in that hole from where an alien jump is done?

Dr Bazillus

there was no alien jump... he just felt down and no half minute after he scored both times....

hmm, that really sounds impossible to me

Piglet

Unless they got on to raptor under the hole from the alien jump point

Piglet

Back on topic. Shooting through the trees and camping in the treetops or on top of blocking volumes in Primeval should be a thing of the past

Halsey

That sounds cool, does the change also include Bender campers through the trees?

Piglet

No, but if you can show me where the bender has to be to do that (and it's an exploit) I can fix it. If you just mean where the benders are at each side and not cheating then less likely to do anything about it

Pics please :)

"I think I found a bug/glitch. Yesterday I've pushed enemy flag carrier out of map with shock combo, he fell down somewhere below their base and... he scored a point. I think it may be somehow related to that damage area around map (for raptors) and its equivalent near the flag. " said Mleko

Some days ago, as I was shot while I was carrying the flag and ballz was carrying me on his raptor
As I was crouching, I just stood in the middle of nowhere and didn't fall
I waited like 2 min (and god knows that  it's a long period in the game) and big ballz came with a new raptor, picked me up and made me score
So u can be shot and score though

This happend to me yesterday as u can see i'm stuck in the air, at least if i stop pressing C i will fall fown. And my raptor didn't came back so i had to kill myself^^ so i suggest everyone not to crouch on raptor while carrying flag or this could happened.

Killer_XTREME!!!

Can a raptor pick you up from that spot? Strange bug...something has to be done about it though  ::)

Piglet

Yes. A raptor should be able to. I wonder what causes it!

You can use teamsay, you know. Maybe there is 1 good player who can understand situation and take raptor and you will score.

I see. But I can, cause I use Shift for crouch.
