My DSL connection went down one morning so I decided to try out the vehicle demo
Before installing the patch I had trouble driving the BullDog around with bots in the map whenever I used Direct3D (default) instead of OpenGL. The patch seems to have addressed these issues.
Some of my UT friends are working on some Capture The Flag and Bombing Run levels that include two of these vehicles and the results should be pretty interesting. The turret on-top fires single rocket rounds and can lock on to the nearest opponent in front of the truck. The missle homes in exactly like the homing capabilities of the regular rocket launcher.
Here's how to load the Vehicle Demo
1. goto INSTANT ACTION or MultiPlayer. (I haven't tested if anyone can join a game when this is loaded)
2. once the level has loaded open the console (TAB or `) and enter
open vehicledemo
3. Press enter and wait for it to load
4. Goto either switch point and the BullDog will spawn
5. get up next it it's side and press USE (the U key)
6. strafe controls steering, forward/back is forward and reverse (forward is gas, back is brake/reverse)
7. Have fun
If your BullDog gets stuck upside down you can exit it by pressing JUMP. Then get near the front or back and press USE again to flip the truck over. QUICKLY get out of the way when trying to flip it over. It will squish and kill you if it rolls over on you.
If you accidentally get it permanently stuck in a pit or (other area that you can't escape from) you'll have to destroy the "BullDog".
It has 800 hit points so that may take a while unless you have the redeemer (2 shots) or the flak cannon (25 shots)
Keep on Truckin'!
