Pod Surfing finally removed?

Here's a reply one of the DICE guys made in a thread regarding the newest patch 1.4. It clearly states that Pod exploiting breaks away from the original intentions of the game and should hopefully be fixed in the next patch. Took them long enough!

FREAKIN FINALLY!!!!

 

Atleast they finally came out and stated it as an exploit.

Yes, I agree. It was totally an exploit and it seemed like they weren't acknowledging it for awhile because they didn't have a fix for it. I'm sure this will get rid of people podding from harbor to EU base and the like. I hope it gets rid of the roof campers too!
You know everyone talks about pod exploiting, but i never exactly know what it entails? anyone wanna explain to me what pod exploiting is?

Normally when you spawn on a squad leader beacon, you can't move your beacon and it lands close to the beacon, right?

 

But with pod surfing you can take control of the pod and move it across the map if you wanted.

 

I'm not sure how to do it, i think it involves spinning really fast because one time just for fun i span really fast while going down and my pod moved somewhere else...

 

Either way I'm starting to switch over to GRAW 2, which doesn't have pods :)

:) -Uh oh, EA fixed something...I remember when they "optimized" titan and made it more laggy. Now we are going to have a new bug...

 

PTD--PodToDesktop!

 

:plolol

I'm just curious to see how they "fix" it

:) -Removal of the pods, you now just pop up when you spawn LOLOL...:rolleyes:I dunno:p

That would take alot of coding and knowing EA it would cause a crash everytime u spawn. :peace:

I'd say you just appear at the beacon. That's the only way that makes sense. They could ARE PEE it and say technology had just been invented for instantaneous transport or something...I dunno.

 

Good servers. Me likey.

Har larryious. You made my day.

Thanks bud, we try.
Someone is always going to try to do something the designer didn't think of. We had a blackjack game on a old computer BPC (Before PC) and one guy figured if you bet negative money and lost, you won. He "won" over a million dollars before the program was fixed to accept only positive numbers for the bet. Negative money doesn't exist in the real world but someone figured a way to push the envelope. They do the same things in computer games.

With all the respect...

I played UO(Ultima Online) for 6 years and i can tell you trying to get those glitches is the life of a lot of people. I recall this time OSI(now EA) added neon collored hair but it was very expensive, well they added it to the normal color change menu but it would be "hidden" so only with the special one(a lot of money) you could pick it, but with only a little bit of visual basic you could select the expensive one with the cheap one. I made a lot of money on ebay with that...

That would defeat the purpose of the pod. The purpose of dropping in a pod to a beacon is that the other team has a chance of seeing the pods drop and figuring out there is a beacon. If you just popped there then they would have no idea what was hitting them.

I didn't think of that. We were being over ran and there was no close spawn points but I noticed a pod coming down. I destroyed the beacon and we stopped being overran. I agree that it is important to know where the pods are coming from.
