Orbital Strike kills through buildings

Post » Fri Aug 14, 2009 8:56 pm

The Orbital Strike can kill you even inside a building, it goes through roofs etc. So going inside a building is not a guarantee to survive an Orbital Strike. That kinda svcks!!

Has someone had the same problem already?

Easy to avoid, best used on Crash site and objective game modes.

Seeing as the orbital strike is essentially just a mini gamma ray burst, of course it would go through a building- unless if that building happens to have a several metre thick concrete or lead roof...

Yeah I killed some people in buildings and was killed myself... Sometimes I pick a corner and I see my friends running around dying... Man I love this game sometimes.

Well said, AND something as big as an "Orbital Strike" would be pretty lame if you can just run under a structure and avoid it. Matter of factly, MANY SHOOTERS fail at not letting large strikes harm you inside structures... Tanks, helicopters and the like are dumbed down greatly, to not ruin the MP experience for others.

*cough* Battlefield....

Ever fired an Abrams tank round into a small house-ground floor only to see several men scamper out at full speed ?

Yeah man, that's not a glitch; it's supposed to happen. Massive photon beams from the sky would go through your roof if they existed, trust me ;)

I also like that you can stealth and avoid targeting from the airstrike. In Black Ops, an enemy chopper meant switch to a Ghost Pro class or sit in the nearest building and camp - which is retarded. Crysis 2 encourages constantly being on the prowl.

Yeah i think its pretty fair that it can go through buildings because its pretty easy to avoid if you see it first. Did they up the power of the Ceph gunship from the demo because now i feel like it kills in two shots were as in the demo i managed to run around and avoid the bullets for like 2 minutes before it finally got me.
