Just for fun .. top 10 BF:BC glitches!!

[norm360]

10. Laser Designator Kills on Helicopters

In the rare chance that you hit a helicopter in the air, or on the ground, usually it will claim they ran over themselves instead of giving you the kill credit. Not that annoying because killing a helicopter with that weapon is rare.
Annoying Factor: 3



9. Double Connection Errors

This glitch can be seen whenever you get two error prompts while joining a server. This usually comes up after hours of playing, and requires you to restart the disc. This wouldn't be so annoying if getting back to the multiplayer menu didn't take minutes and several button presses.

Annoying Factor: 5



8. Plants/Shrubs absorb bullets

Absolutely absurd. I have intense difficultly explaining how this glitch could go unnoticed. Who has ever heard of plants absorbing bullets? However, has saved my butt a number of times.
Annoying Factor: 5



7. Grey Laser Designator Screen

Experienced Laser Designators have probably seen this. After doing your missile, the HUD remains, but all you can see is grey. You can move, but what's the point? Suicide time. Happens randomly, on average every 50 times or so (though once I got it three times in an hour), but doesn't occur so frequently enough that it makes you want to smash things.

Annoying Factor: 6



6. Stationary Vehicles shielding damage

When you shoot people at certain angles (>90 degrees from their front?) on their stationary weapons it won't kill them. Even though you can fully see their bodies or heads, there's an invisible wall over them. Try sniping the guy on the artillery when you're 90 or more degrees from where he is facing.

Annoying Factor: 6



5. Running yourself over in your own vehicle

Honestly, does there even exist a single game where this can happen? And it happens. Too much. If you're at full throttle in a vehicle like the buggy, the boat, the humvee and the tank, when you press B and jump out you often mysteriously die. It doesn't count as a suicide, but it doesn't say on screen what happened either.

If you watch this video, a video that EA/DICE actually provided to gaming websites, you can see an example at the end:
Battlefield: Bad Company Movie (Xbox 360)

Annoying Factor: 9



4. Headshot Glitch

This one is similar to #6, and speaking of which, the stationary weapons often shield headshots too. Anyways, this one is easy to spot because there are times where the only part of an enemy's body visible is the head.

Annoying Factor: 8



3. Class Revert

You're playing as a certain class, say, Support, you die, and when you go to spawn, it has switched to Assault with the first weapon in the list. This glitch happens frequently, requiring you to check each and every time you spawn to make sure you're the proper class.

Annoying Factor: 7



2. Preferred Map not working

This glitch is perfectly understandable, otherwise the map you selected might be full and give you a connection error. Oh wait, that already happens. There is no excuse whatsoever for picking End of the Line and getting Final Ignition.

Annoying Factor: 8



1. Crouched Movement

Absolutely the worst, as far as I'm concerned. Veteran snipers will recognize this glitch. When a crouched player is moving, something happens to their hit detection that makes the bullet go right through them.

Annoying Factor: 10


Other quirks:

Vehicles Blowing Up When Base moves ahead

This one wouldn't be so bad if they at least left behind a weak buggy or something for transportation. Who likes walking or even swimming from the first Attacking base to the second on End of the Line?

Boat Backing Up

Why do the boats go ridicuously slow when going backwards? No other vehicle is even remotely this slow when doing so.

Helicopter Damage

Why do helicopters completely explode when grazing just a single stationary object?

Nearly Invisible Structures

On the map End of the Line, easily the best of the helicopter maps, there are a couple radio towers and the crane which are next to impossible to see when in the pilot's cockpit view. Were these objects put in for show or for helicopters to hit?

Out of Map Time

C'mon, 5 seconds? Did anyone test this at all? Do the developers have any idea how difficult it is to turn around a helicopter in that time?

Final Ignition Area

There is an area on the second defense base of Final Ignition that is easy to fall into and impossible to get out of.

Fall Damage

Why does falling off one story often drain me of over 25 health? Worse, this can happen in water too. There's an area in Over and Out and End of the Line where you jump into the water and it can even result in a suicide with full health.

What really gets me about all these things is that this game actually went through a beta period, and was delayed repeatedly. A patch came out with Conquest mode that fixed almost nothing, except for the respawn C4 thing.

Oh and not forgetting the infamous speed door glitch - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6A7RJ-Va14&fmt=6

Who at DICE was responsible for that wonderful piece of game design I wonder?

: )

[richardandrews]

knife a window or door, then try shooting through the hole and sometimes you see bullet hits like the door/window is still there.

all players have bullet proof helmets even though you cant see them on some classes

whilst using laser designator with sniper rifle selected, press zoom scope and sometimes you get a sniper sight whilst dropping the bomb (rare)

[killzonekid1]

Boats DO move extremely slow when going backwards, they are not cars, duh.

Knifing a door only to find that another door (the same door regenarated?) is still there.

Yea that happens all the time on Ascension

[xXHappyCamperXx]

How come some trees cannot be taken down? On deconstruction there are trees that cannot be cut down even with a light tank or .50 cal. Very annoying as there is a good sniping spot behind two of those trees on the left side behind fences as the attacking team. They are also located on a slope. Maybe thats why?

[MEL0DRAMATIC]

#5 on the list happens way too often for my liking. Although one should expect some damage while jumping out of a moving vehicle there is nothing more incomplete than dying and it not being a suicide or knowing exactly what happened... just a blank red screen.

[Finze90]

The speed door's great!

[SAS_ELITE-UK]

lol great thread. Should be stickyed

[VectorRoll]

#5 is a common thing and it happens in other games as well. It also makes perfect sense to run yourself over if you are still moving. My suggestion would be to stop completely before getting out and make sure that you are not to close to a structure as well.

#2 has been explained already before. As we all know already that we would like to have an option to put us in the map of our choosing. But the way that they preferred map works does not do that and it is not intended to.

Frankly the way that the servers are set up for consoles is a bit different than the PC versions for the most part. I never did like the way that console servers were set up.
Also I personally would prefer to have the same thing as the PC versions when it comes to server selection; but that is not going to happen. At least not for this game.

The Helicopter Damage one made me laugh. Although it is a decent question to ask them. A bit strange but decent. I think having it explode when it crashes is better looking than having it just fall to the ground and be all mangled up.

Other than those three your list seems pretty good. Even though I have not personally experienced some of them.

Hit detection on this game is a total mess wether crouched or not.Its beyond a joke now.
