Welcome Back Commander!

Patch 5.390 fixes some issues introduced in the previous patch related to the scoreboard and the camera. It also includes a slew of other bug fixes, and several new features, including Airstrip elevators, and a crate we're sure you'll all learn to enjoy.

 

(If you're wondering why this is under general, it's so as not to disturb that recruitment ad)

What KIND of upgrade? lol!

 

Someday Hourglass will return to us 😃

 

What I'd really like to see is the return of Fort... Maybe i'll consider learning map making just for that. Or is there complicated code with that map that make it unplayable? I forget the situation.

go to terminal, choose character by mouse double click and quickly press A+S

I know what you mean. On older CPU's like AMD Athlon II x4, the game lags slightly while you interact with the purchase terminals. In particular there's a slight frame freeze after purchasing a new character class and quickly exiting the menu. That's your fault; unless the devs can rework the Unreal 3 engine or whatever it's called (which even if they could they they wont because its far too much work) they can't help you. Help yourself and learn English - you sound half retarded.

Naw I'm just kidding, you sound fine. Anyways, back to the Recon Bike - YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, AND MORE YES. Now put it on the main roster for purchasable Nod vehicles and we're golden.

YESSS! Amazing content, ill be honest I really lost interest in everything else in the post when I had saw that recon bike, so I just had to try it out. (it's my fav old ren vehicle) 

I was very happy it actually animates & handles like a motorcycle and not a two-wheeled jeep like the attack cycle does, but overall actually kinda disappointed in this rec bike, the torque value is incredibly low and sprinting is non-existent. I found that it doesn't sprint on any incline gradient, only on completely flat/downhill surfaces. It's sprint speed I think is the same peak as the attack cycle, but the acceleration feels unstable and inconsistent. Sprinting is frustrating. The cruising speed feels very low too, around that of the humvee or buggy. 

Though it's pretty good health wise, it can tank 2 shots from mammoth 120mm cannon, leaving it nearly destroyed, and takes 5 med tank direct hits to kill it. But I don't think the bikes are supposed to be "slow and tanky" though. 

It fires 4 TOW rockets that are split into 2 magazines, they're stronger individually than the attack cycle rockets but since there is much less of them it's overall alot weaker, though it has a much quicker reloading time. I feel like the damage output is only slightly less overall than the equivalent stealth tank; the Heroic animation for the rockets is the same as the stealth tanks.  

The TOW rockets glitch when firing locked onto targets that are at positioned 5-6-7 o'clock behind the Recon bike, the TOW rockets stall slowly in mid-air as they turn backwards to the target, the animation of the rockets then detonate prematurely because the flight time expires, -- but the projectile still hits the intended target as an invisible weapon (i'm guessing because it follows original distance-to-travel even if the animation doesn't) 

 

Overall the bike is basically a faster but weaker stealth tank,  but considerably slower & less powerful than the current Attack cycle. Oh, and in terms of appearance I think it's rather small :( Plus i'm not a fan of it being open-top, I do like seeing the NOD style handlebars and dashboard, (esp in first person) but it just would look so much better if the fairings encapsulated the whole vehicle. Makes it more mysterious that way, which was also the reason why I love NOD vehicles because you never know whats inside.

 And also, this was all with Elite rank so take it with a pinch of salt.  

QUOTED FOR RELEVANCE - DEVS YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS GUY, HE SPEAKS TRUTH. We want the Recon Bike mother fucking GOLDEN! So you gotta up the stats - currently it's too slow, doesn't accelerate like it should, and damage output is weak, although the health seems fairly high. Lower the health a tad and buff the rest a bunch. Actually you better PM this guy (euan-missile) for proper specifics.

We have the Recon Bike. Good job boys! Now we just need to perfect it.

It's just a regular sound effect has nothing to do with that

On Tomb there is a hawk sound effect which activates by the GDI Guard Tower, taping any directional key triggers the Hawk. 
Tapping in the correct combination allows you to remix the Hawk sound effect on this map, may want to sort out the Hawk sound effect @TK0104 unless its a game issue

Interesting, I thought it only happened on my older computer. I must not have noticed it on my better system. In that case I take it back - it's not your fault it's the engine's fault.

lol, damn, I'm disappointed to learn that you are actually half retarded. Where you inoculated as a child? Because that would explain it.

Stay on topic please.

I still haven't seen an actual video of this bug nor have I ever heard of it before.

Oh I've definitely noticed it on my older potato system, with only 4 gigs of RAM and nVidia 640 lmao. This Carloz Mendoza guy is probably lying - although some of his CPUs might be OK, his rig overall is not up to snuff. With my new rig I might encounter that lag bug once in a blue moon during 64 player matches with lots of explosions going on.

@Carlos_Mendoza Who are you? Whats your name on MPF, Rencorner and IA? Are you that aaaaaaaaa guy? Or MateNone? One of those airhead guys who can't speak English. lol, man we can't even coordinate in-game; you can't understand what we say without using a translator and ain't no one got time for that shit while playing the game live. So you end up just cursing all day in the chat.

Good times, bro. xD
