I feel like Bloc would be the greatest sniping level ever if they had more space on the interior of the buildings - 5 or 6 stories instead of 2 - and moved the buildings further apart so that there was a wide no-mans land in the middle that would be difficult to cross alive. As it is now all it takes is one asshole with a P90 and 3 frags to clear out a building. 1/29/2008 11:51:16 PM |

couple ?'s:
-what makes some kills 10pts and others 5pts in the midst of the same game? -how is one's match bonus determined? 1/30/2008 12:39:05 AM |
aaronian All American 3299 Posts user info edit post |
I didn't think points for kills changed within a game but they are worth more or less in different game types. i.e. free for all is 5 points, tdm is 10. I think headquarters is 5 too. sometimes it confusing cause you'll get a kill and have control of the HQ so it says 10. 1/30/2008 1:26:49 AM |

also FYI assists are +2 points
if you shoot somebody or hit them with a grenade but then your squadmate finishes them off
but im sure you already knew that 1/30/2008 2:01:55 AM |

^assists are not worth the same in domination and team death match, one of them is 2, the other i think is 1
^^^in domination, kills are worth 5 points, but if you kill someone while they're trying to claim a flag, you get 10 points 1/30/2008 2:31:27 AM |
Dammit100 All American 17605 Posts user info edit post |
I knew about the assists, but not the flag claiming part.
Gracias. Now about the match bonus deal.... 1/30/2008 9:16:49 AM |
aaronian All American 3299 Posts user info edit post |
I think match bonus is calculated by a mixture of amount of kills you have/length of game/ranks of opponents/objectives completed. that's total speculation though 1/30/2008 11:27:08 AM |
TreeTwista10 minisoldr 148450 Posts user info edit post |
objectives completed definitely come into play...i've gotten 350-400 points match bonus before when i've had like 8:8 K/D in a game of regular team deathmatch cause I've also completed challenges on the mission] 1/30/2008 11:34:42 AM |

cyrion All American 27139 Posts user info edit post |
you can get diff points for assists too it seems. if you do most of the work you seem to get 2, if you hurt them but they die elsewhere you get 1. 1/30/2008 2:20:28 PM |

does anyone else think it's way easier to get head shots in hardcore modes? 1/30/2008 2:22:24 PM |
Mr. Joshua Swimfanfan 43948 Posts user info edit post |
Yeah, on regular it usually takes at least 3 bullets in the head to kill somebody, so I usually go for center of mass unless I've got the drop on them. 1/30/2008 2:23:35 PM |

so i was just accused of being a cheater after a team deathmatch game.
i had 16 kills and 2 deaths with a chopper in the air, airstrike on the way, and a chopper waiting to be called as the game ended and all these bratty kids were yelling "He's a cheater! He had to hack the game!"...i guess they aren't good at timing their strikes and choppers. 1/31/2008 9:05:35 PM |

One guy got killed 4 times with my same helicopter all in a span of like 15 seconds
I was laughing my ass at him and he sent me a message saying he had given me negative feedback
So I sent him a voice message that was just me farting into the mic, one really good like four second fart 1/31/2008 9:40:09 PM |
Mr. Joshua Swimfanfan 43948 Posts user info edit post |
Was that on shipment? I've hitten spots on that where it respawns me in the center of the bombing raid or directly underneath the helicopter. 1/31/2008 9:53:47 PM |
Slave Famous Become Wrath 34079 Posts user info edit post |
No on Ambush...kinda surprising since its a fairly big map...I guess it just kept spawning him right in the path of the chopper...made for some good lols 1/31/2008 9:56:24 PM |
Mr. Joshua Swimfanfan 43948 Posts user info edit post |
That level is also a bitch when a chopper comes in. Despite its size the covered areas are relatively few and far between.
I'm really not a fan of it. It seems like it usually turns into counter sniping across the road unless its an objective match. 1/31/2008 10:24:39 PM |
rufus All American 3583 Posts user info edit post |
how do you guys plot your airstrikes? whenever i call one in i never seem to kill anybody, even if i have radar up and put the crosshairs over where everyone is. conversely, it seems like i always get killed by enemy airstrikes, even if it's across the map and i'm hiding inside a building 2/1/2008 11:15:41 AM |
Dammit100 All American 17605 Posts user info edit post |
with airstrikes, I usually play domination, so it's pretty easy to get a couple kills there. Just knowing the maps, where the other team is and where they're likely to respawn helps a lot. 2/1/2008 11:53:07 AM |
TreeTwista10 minisoldr 148450 Posts user info edit post |
^^I usually wait for someone on my team to get the UAV online so I can see where the enemies are...if I die before I get the chance, I still have the airstrike and I just wait for a UAV again 2/1/2008 12:10:57 PM |
stepmaniadud All American 1056 Posts user info edit post |
What I usually do is look at the map to see where the enemies are, but don't click exactly on them, drop it where they're gonna be since the dots you see are only where they are at that instant, know what I mean?

^^ wait, I thought you lost the airstike when you died?? I have gotten so many only to be shot just prior to pressing the "right" button.
How do you do the air strike once you die? 2/1/2008 4:00:24 PM |

^^yeah airstrikes or helicopters or even UAVs you get to keep
somebody posted earlier in the thread that a good strategy was that once you got your 7 kill streak and unlocked the chopper, DONT immediately call the chopper...instead go out and try to kill people with your gun...then when you die, call the chopper as soon as you respawn...the chopper alone might get you back up to a UAV and the chopper combined with a couple kills can unlock another airstrike! 2/1/2008 4:06:12 PM |
Slave Famous Become Wrath 34079 Posts user info edit post |
Yeah thats a simple but genius strategy
I tried it as soon as I read it here and haven't gone back since
Except when I'm approaching my highest kill streak I'll send the chopper out to try and put me over the top 2/1/2008 4:11:07 PM |
Dammit100 All American 17605 Posts user info edit post |
you can't use the UAV if you've already gotten the airstrike though, right? 2/1/2008 4:14:49 PM |
Slave Famous Become Wrath 34079 Posts user info edit post |
no they cancel out
so use the uav and airstrike quickly but save the copter for your next respawn 2/1/2008 4:35:45 PM |

I got overkill finally today...
I love it. Went 20-2 in one of my first matches with it when I went Sniper RJ007? w/ MP5 on Ambush. I would've gotten more straight sniper kills with Stopping Power but being able to clear areas with the MP5 was awesome. Shotty/AR is really good for me too. Now I have to remake all of my custom classes 2/2/2008 2:31:51 AM |

It does piss me off a bit that aside from the one challenge you don't get any credit for taking down a chopper.
I can't wait for some new MP maps to come out. I'd also love some downloadable weapons. I'm not very happy with the selection of SMGs. 2/2/2008 7:53:07 PM |
cyrion All American 27139 Posts user info edit post |
i agree you should get 15xp for taking down a chopper. its kinda bs that you have 0 incentive as it is asside from not dying. the smg's arent that bad though. p90 and mp5 are both very awesome and the small guns (uzi/scorp) are good with the right class. the mini ak is the only thing that is kinda meh and even it has its moments. 2/2/2008 9:00:44 PM |

Madman All American 3412 Posts user info edit post |
been playing on xbox 360, notes...
I have a hard time adjusting to fps on consoles. I played a lot of halo 1 back in the day but since then, and especially since hl2, I haven't touched them. that being said this game is amazingly fun, if not frustrating.
reaction time is completely critical in this game, though I like--and appreciate--an fps that will reward you if you have spent the time playing it.
the helicopters are stupid though... 2/2/2008 11:23:35 PM |

wow, really? The only SMG I don't like is the Skorpion.2/3/2008 12:07:27 PM |
cyrion All American 27139 Posts user info edit post |
the scorpion isnt even that bad, just that the mini uzi is pretty much the same thing but better. i find the assualt rifles to be the most similar and boring as far as variety is concerned. 2/3/2008 12:42:49 PM |
ThePeter TWW CHAMPION 37709 Posts user info edit post |
the assault rifles are all very different, the only ones that seem remotely interchangeable are the G3, M4 and the G3COC or w/e since they can be semi-automatic. The power of each shot and accuracy from the hip or scope are significantly varied in my opinion.
I would say the LMGs like the SAW don't seem very different from each other, while the sniper rifles and shotguns have the most variety. 2/3/2008 1:18:15 PM |
