blowing up sentries from shooting the ceiling.

i own the 360 version, so i don't know whether its been patched on the pc or not.

to me this is very cheap, and almost renders sentries useless in some scenarios. take 2fort for instance, some of the best sentry placements are right near the spawn over looking the battlements. now and again a soldier will come along and just shoot the ceiling destroying my sentry without a scratch on him. the rocket launcher is powerful enough without being able to do this, it really needs to get taken out of the game.

dont just sit next to the sentry, let him shoot 4 times and repair it then jump out with the shotgun when hes reloading.  Its your best chance.

The rocket has a hard time killing a sentry without killing the engy first.

That's still a huge bug though, sigh hopefully they'll patch it soon.

I wouldn't really consider it a bug, that would be like saying shooting the ground next to the sentry or the wall and killing it is a bug too. Splash damage is splash damage.

If  I'm reading/picturing this correctly though, that is some intense splash damage, way more than intended

Wasn't something similar fixed in the PC version ? I remember a complaint about splash damage passing through the ceiling in 2fort before.

Well the 360 has a list of bugs pages long, think off all the patches we've had.

its not splash damage though, your shooting from the floor below and killing people/sentries. its definitely unfair.

i've figured out how to deal with the soldiers, but they still manage to get my sentry most of the time.

It's:

Shoot ground (ceiling)
Splash damage
Floor is thin enough to have the game say it isn't there
Splash damage radiates from point
Splash engulfs sentry
Engineer picks new spot
