How to get off an landing craft??
 
Ok, my spawn point is on a Destroyer. I jump into a landing craft/boat.
Run at full speed to the nearest shore and onto it.
Now....i want to jump out of the boat....quickly..got some enemies to take care off...

BUT, i juse the jump button, and it takes me maybe 10 or 15 jumps to get out of this f****ng boat!!

Is it just my machine that is lagging, or is thee a simpler way??

HELP!!!:dance:

There sure is.
 
Use the up & down arrow keys to raise and lower the landing boat ramp. Muuuuch easier. :cya:

That avatartext is correct Vathem, you do have a heart of gold :)

/me wonders how many times the admins on these boards have had to explain simple game mechanics to new people playing the demo/game. :rolleyes:

Vanthem September 15th, 2002 04:57 AM

Yeah, I walk a fine line between kindness and just hitting people in the skull with an oak bat.

[CC] Chief September 15th, 2002 06:06 AM

An oak bat, how crude :)

/me hands Vanthem a bat decorated with silver and golden knobs, for that extra touch of finesse when wacking people over the head with :D

Jadacool September 15th, 2002 09:57 AM

Hehe, i was afraid i would get alot of shit for such a 'dumbass' question'. But thanks for the answer.
Now i can easely get off that landing craft so i can run up that hill and get shot alot faster then before! :D

I had the same problem and wanted to ask the same question. Thanks for your reply Vanthem.

One further question on this same topic. I redefined my keys and made my arrow keys my movement keys, so obviously when I press up or down, I move forwards and backwards. In the default settings, what does up and down do?

Vanthem September 15th, 2002 02:46 PM

<lowers his voice> Don't tell anyone, Jada, but when I first got the demo, I kept trying to hop out of the boat too until I saw someone lower the ramp, which prompted me to utter the question, "How do I lower the ramp?" :lol:

Hey, thanks, Chief. <puts on a frilly white shirt while he's at it>

If you only changed the up & down arrow keys for infantry, Tack, I don't think you've changed much. They only really get any use with the boats or planes and that shouldn't be affected by altering infantry binds.

Viper_RGN September 15th, 2002 04:56 PM

oh i think everyone tried to jump out of the boats when they first got the demo's lol

Tack September 15th, 2002 05:19 PM

Oh. I think I understand now. While I'm still behind the wheel of the craft is when I press down to lower it. I was thinking that while I need to press down while I was infantry.

HostageOw September 15th, 2002 05:21 PM

Well, not exactly
 
Ahh yes, the sacred event of ones first boat landing. I remember it well.. I sped away from the japanese carrier with my trusty landing boat, heading for the closest shore. Little did I know, unspeakable evil lurked ahead.. evil that could taint a mans soul from the mere mention.. *coughs* ..Anyway, I landed on the beach and scurried from one end of the boat to the other trying to escape, but alas, some american blew me into fishfood with the defgun. In life where I failed, I succeeded in death (thousands of times if you count all the pieces)

Thanks for what Vanthem? :confused:

Vanthem September 15th, 2002 06:22 PM

I didn't say you. I said Chief. Honest. @_@ <quietly thanks the heavens for 'edit'>

I was actually pretty good at leaping over the side, but sometimes the game just flat out said "nope" and you'd sit there hopping around like a freak for a minute, hoping the enemy was on a coffee break. :p

HostageOw September 15th, 2002 06:43 PM

Np
 
Ahh alright, so'k. That's a very common typo, actually. :frog:

[CC] Chief September 16th, 2002 03:04 AM

/me hugs HostageOw, no problem dude :)

There's nothing like sailing to teh beach in a landingsboat and then storming that same beach with 6 axis soldiers. I had that once, we managed to capture and hold the first two points. Great stuff.

Wait there is something even better than that: using the defgun to blow up a boat filled with 6 soldiers as they try to approach the beach :D

/me grins sadistically and taps his hand against the barrel of his trusty defgun ;)

GreyWing September 16th, 2002 12:48 PM

I've tried pressing up and down from all positions on the boat and the damn thing STILL won't open!

NR1 September 16th, 2002 02:15 PM

Did you guys try the Hatch up/Hatch down binds.... hmmm, may help.

Jadacool September 17th, 2002 08:18 AM

What about this.........

Can you kill an enemy by lowering the ramp upon him?

Vanthem September 17th, 2002 09:49 AM

You have to be driving the landing craft. Just hold the up arrow key to lower the ramp. If that isn't working, you've changed your bind for it and will have to look in your controls to rebind it.

[CC] Chief September 18th, 2002 02:42 AM

/me hands Vanthem a cool glas of water. Don't you ever get a dry soar throat of all that talking? :D
