Not sure where this goes, but...., some interesting things in Barbarossa Options

[Zach]

Hi there, I'm not sure if this has been discovered by anyone yet (or the few players that saw me do it this morning reported it), nor am I sure where it goes, so I'll put it here.

Yesterday I had no internet for most of the day and I eventually got bored and decided to do some exploring in the Barbarossa map. What I did was see if it is possible to hop inside a base while it has not been opened yet. Well, I found some interesting things.

The Russian 2 can be jumped in using a medium tank with a jeep. If the tank is position to the side facing the Russian 3, you can (if lucky) jump on the tank, jump on the turret, and then get inside the base. Once inside, you cannot plant--but you can grab the bazooka and shoot at the base from inside and spawn kill. If you are not so lucky, then you need a jeep. Get the jeep next to the tank, jump on it, and then jump on the tank.

The Russian 3 can also be entered, but it is far harder. I managed to tank the super heavy Russian tank next to it, get a jeep and jump on it, and jump from the turret onto 3. But I've only done that once. Easier to do is get the heavy tank, park it next to the base, park a light tank next to it, and a jeep. Jump from the jeep to the light tank's turret, then from there to the heavy tank's turret, and then from there to the base.

I tried jumping in the German 2 (but only with a medium tank), and it wasn't possible. It might be with a heavy tank. German 1 is off limits, I think. As is German 3 and Russian 1.

There are also lesser places that can be jumped on. The house outside of the Russian 1 (the one that has the bazookas) can be jumped on with a medium (or light) tank and jeep (or just a tank, if you can jump on one without a jeep). The shed near the German 2 could be jumped on with a tank and a jeep. You can stand on machinegun on the Russian jeep (never tried it with the German one), and so maybe can get up there that way. The shed in the German spawn could be jumped on with a tank, but invisible walls prevent you from standing on it. You can stay on the edge, however. To my knowledge, all of the buildings between the Russian 2 and German 1 cannot be jumped on. Only two little sheds that provide little to no advantage. The rest have invisible walls. I don't think any of the buildings near the Russian 3 could be jumped on, either. Nor could the burning tanks in the spawn (except one of them).

I'll have screenshots in a bit.

lol, you had too much time on ur hands. I think most of us knew about getting into unopened bases. It's a time consuming operation. I doubt it could be done with a large # of players. As for the sheds & other building, I wasn't aware that you could, but figured it was possible.

Lol Zach you weirdo, I havent been able to play Barb in a long time. Everytime I try it says server disconnected or I get kicked cause the load is long.

Oh Harry, you're a cassino child now. Dont leave us, its free hugs night on friday

[HarryCaray]

Yea Meow, check the Cassino stats. I'm ranked 2nd and have a ton of awards!

[Maj. H8Red]

Wow, how did a discussion on something in barb, turn into a Cassino discussion?

[HarryCaray]

Since when does someone who hates ppl care about Topic Etiquette? Lol

um good question

[Pancakes]

That is a pretty good question, ill go check the stats now

ME TOO ! that goes for tuchola too !

[ScrapyardBob]

FYI... it's a map design flaw when that happens. (Go spend time on Tuchola and see if you can get in... please!)

When you layout the bases for Base Assault, you're (the map maker) supposed to put a one-way patch around the base to prevent entry while the base is still standing.

AFAIK, the Tuchola bases are designed properly which prevents this from happening. (You can get up on the "lip" edge, but you can't get down inside.)

My question is, Who looks for these glitches and why? Play the game as it was intended without looking for unfair advantages.


Harry, look at the overall Cassino stats. I have played maybe a handfull of Cassino games over the last few months and Im still way up on the stats. If I stayed on Cassino instead of Barb, I would be #1 in most of the stats easily. lol.

[HarryCaray]

Yea Nothing, you'd be number 1 at dying! You die too much man.lol

[Nothing]

Are you looking at the right stats Harry? My kill ratio is 2.76. Yours is 1.40. That would mean I am twice as good as you are, lol.

I have 4879 deaths in 236 rounds,

You have 1109 deaths in 44 rounds.

If I do my math right, and you were to play as many rounds as I have, your deaths would be 5948. You son, die to much, lol.

[HarryCaray]

True True, but on Cassino I don't go out with my best, I like to play around. I go suicide nading alot.

BUT check out Barb Stats.

You have 4682.

I have 2358.

You played 593 rounds.

I played 433 rounds.

If I do my math right, and I were to play as many rounds as you have, my deaths would be 3229. You son, die to much, lol.

4682 > 3229.

Lol to take it to another level.

My kills 4306
My rank 9th
My ratio 1.82
My score 1948
5 kill streak 310
Longest Streak 21
As for skill I think the way for deciding skill is a bad one.
