Not sure if it's a bug or not but either way, could the Airstrike be changed so as to actually come from the air?? The outdoor maps are unplayable the way the airstrike is now. Once sudden death arrives there is absolutely nowhere to hide on the map the way you can make the airstrike go underground. Thanks.

Its not like they have an unfair advantage...you can do the same thing, just beat them to the punch. :)

That's true...but it takes all the fun out of it. IMHO. It's just really cheesy.

Let me enlighten you so you do can participate next time you play. :-P Basically the airstrike does not come from the air...it comes from about 5 inches above your cursor. So....if someone is burrowed in hiding during sudden death, you can just make the bombs "appear" right on the worm. There is no putting your worm under cover b/c there is NO cover.

aaaaah, interesting. This should definitely be fixed. Good to know in the mean time, though )

well if you hide less then 5 inches from the water then your safe ;) unless the curser can be moved beneath water height.

In sudden death with the water rising, you don't want to hide so close to it. There are places you can go that the airstrike just won't hit but it's hard to tell if you are safe until after someone tries to use the airstrike.
