Killmessage shows wrong weapon
« on: 05-08-2009, 15:08:32 »
Yesterday we were playing Alam Halfa on hslan. I had put my mines in the passage for the axis tanks and then sat in the 2 Pounder.

First axis tank passes, I spot it with the 2 Pounder and when I pressed "Armour", the tank blew up. I thought I accidentally fired at him with the 2 Pounder and 1-shot him, but later a Kubel came along an also got blown up, but... I wasn't shooting at all! So I think they got killed by my mines, and the game turned the killweapin from mines into the 2 Pounder. Here are the screens. Note how you can see that I make both kills, while my ammo stays the same.

Known BF2 bug. AFAIK unfixable.

OK, then this is just informative for any other players experiencing this.  ;)

Very old and know bug as spit said.
BF2 always gives the vehicle in which you sit as the weapon that killed the enemy when you use mines.

I have also had kills with the mines properly, with the correct killmessage. So it is kind of random, I presume?

Mostly happens when you are occupying a vehicle when your mine explodes.
