    I once killed a man in his spawn room with an airstrike, it's how I got Five Time. No idea how it happened, I think you need to stick them and have them run into their spawn...

    I don't think that was it. We all had just respawned. I think maybe it is throwing an airstrike below the spawn room

    I got killed by a juiced player, spawned, and instantly ate an airstrike the second I spawned. I didn't even get the chance to move.

    I was less than impressed.

    Either I'm not getting it or this is really cryptic. Help me out here!

    Maybe it's because your name is the same as Snake's colonel in MGS?

    On topic: I've never encountered this, but it sounds horrendously cheap.

    Oh. Well. I'm incredibly defensive so I thought he was just another person that hated me around here.

    Nice of you to notice though. Don't forget to tap the action button to climb ladders!! =P

    But yeah this glitch has happened to me twice and it sucks.

    Never had it happen to me, but I recently switched control schemes to Tactical - I'd highly recommend it for Tank, Gunner, Support, Assault and Sniper - so every now and again I throw an Airstrike on the turrent I was supposed to be hacking, and have to run away quickly.

    Actually, there is a clipping issue inside the spawn room. I stumbled upon this the other night, myself. There was a guy on our team deliberately just sitting in spawn because his friend was on the other team and he was cheating to give his friend an advantage.

    I was messing around in there shooting him and stuff, calling him out, etc.. So, I had the idea to throw an airstrike, thinking it would show the vertical line and make the sound as usual, but wind up hitting the roof of the spawn room. To my surprise, it came right down and killed me inside the spawn room.

    I later returned and experimented a little and found an interesting problem. The roof of the spawn room doesn't stop airstrikes, however, there's a gray platform up in the middle of the ceiling in there that *does* stop them. This leaves a perimeter around that gray platform open for abusive spawn killers with airstrikes and lucky timing.

    I doubt it's a super prevalent problem, though. I haven't even confirmed that I can get one in that sweet spot from outside the spawn room yet, since that would require a friend who doesn't have ADD on xbox live, which I don't actually believe exists.

    Throw an air strike below the spawn room in between the two small prongs that hold up the spawn room. Right in the middle on the wall and you'll land it in their spawn room.

    Yes this works. I'm playing Support very often, one time when I was at the other base, I thought "what will happen, if I put a airstrike on that black thing?" I did, one kill..just WTF lol.

    There is an other problem with the Air Strike at Grenade III.
    In the middle, but still in the base, you should know what I mean, Snipers stand there a lot to snipe. If you throw a air strike bacon to him, but the air strike will fall in the ground because you throw too short, the air strike will still kill him..and the sniper can't anything about, because he doesnt see/hear anything. Funny to take out anoying snipers, but its a glitch.

    I haven't seen that specifically (I usually try to stick them when they're sniping up there if I feel like wasting an airstrike, which has now become too damn valuable thanks to the update!!! :( ), but I've noticed that if you throw an airstrike out into an area where the map drops off into the void, the airstrike comes down without the usual delay and will do all kinds of splash damage along the way.
