Hardly anything needs nerfing other than the AA and tac light.

Nothing wrong with the AA. I own the skies on most games with it but get up against 2 good plane pilots and a heli and the AA is taken out within seconds of spawning every game and is useless.

Its only good against pilot noobs and if nerfed will be totally useless.

depends on server how many tickets

how weak other side is

if server is hc (also easier to get higher kills)

if your playing with mates of decent skill aswell

k/d ratio means squat at end of day a camper could have 3/1 from just sitting in a corner every round he plays watching a spawn but on the move not hit a button

camping is one of the worst things you can do and in my book camper are about as low as hackers

Hardly

That score was Team Deathmatch. The only objective is to kill people. Play the game how you want.

Doesnt mean you aren't going to take flack from me for lacking in skill by resorting to compaing mind. But its a perfectly valid tactic and theres nothing actually wrong with it.

Heck as defenders on rush its pretty much your mandate. I hate it when playing defense on rush that some team mates just run off into the distance like rambo completely forgetting they are supposed to be defending the objectives.

The Running Man · 20 Nov 2011 at 12:03

Thing is i can go 16/7 or better on some games, the next i might go 0/6 either through lack of concentration of a bad spawn over and over again...so match by match stats can sometimes be a bit misleading...

Greebo · 20 Nov 2011 at 12:04

Good games last night. Went headshot hunting in my tank

Only 3000 points from Reactive armour.

Must start playing other classes as I seem to be an Engineer whore

Lost my tags to running man last night

Got a few tags from other people though.

Loving the tank with thermal vision and people radar as fun seeing an enemy on your minimap light up who hasn;t got anything to attack the tank with and is hiding and you just turn your turret and take him out

Got the ball bearing shells unlocked yesterday, not sure what to make of them yet.

And sorry to the guys on mumble, I haven;t got a mic but liove listening in anyway (especially for a few games last night when smogsy swapped me over to the enemy side and you would be all "tank approching B, watch out" as I was coming to get you.

70sGuy? Right? I seem to recall a jmc007 (or similar) in game but can't seem to find the name now.

I do remember that one from last night. There I was minding my own business sitting capping in the chopper and suddenly my view goes third person and the chopper rotor slows down.

Yeah I changed my Origin name from jmc777 to 70sGuy.
Very gracious of you not to mention you were owning me in all areas that game, hence the need for me to mention the, believe it or not, 1000th HS.

If you play with me you'll notice I can never sit still. So camping never even comes in to it!

And it wasn't hardcore either, was normal mode

My idea to stop camping is a game mode where just getting 'kills' does not score you any points. Also at the end of the round there is no stats to see k/d ratio.

Instead, points will be awarded, for team based actions and contributions to the game objective as well as lets say a very small trickle of points for being inside enemy territory.

Campers will score 0 points will be at the bottom of the table and will soon get bored seeing them self with no points.

Sounds utter dross.

Why not make the guns fire cabbages.

Very true. I can have games where my K/D is 1/7 and others where its 16/1

Especially now I have the vehicles powered up I can rack up lots of tank and infantry kill streaks especially if I get a decent gunner in my tank to protect from those pesky rpg and c4 enemies.

Always love getting my first death and seeing myself at the top of the leaderboard with 3000+ points and the game has hardly started

replay or it dint happen greebo

I think the points system in the game is already very good, much better than the simple kills mean prizes style of COD. The games where I score the highest are the ones where I work as a squad and go around capturing points and helping people. The amount of points you get just from reviving, healing, acting as a spawn point and capturing flags far outweighs the odd kill that I get. Plus I like the suppression kill points, encourages everyone to have a proper firefight, and laying down cover fire is actually worth something.

You know I own in tanks. Still smarting from losing my tags to you last night. I always feel so dirty and violated when that happens...

I had to laugh when I snuck up behind smogsy after he had killed me in the tank and I spawned and hunted him down and knifed him. He was all like "How? and wtf" and I just said "Surprise butt sex"

There are just ever now and then, superb moments that bring a smile to the game

This, my score is always much higher playing in a squad with friends than playing in a pug. Even if my kills aren't that high I'll get points with ammo, health or suppression.

Can I ask why I got just got kicked from the TFU conquest server for no reason at all?

Was it because I was using the shotgun? If so is it another case of a 12 year old admin in charge, kicking people because he doesn't like something?

Depends. Some servers have banned the use of the auto shotgun + frag ammo as it spoils the game.

Greebo · 20 Nov 2011 at 12:34

And Smogsy, bring back the AA gun as I have to go play other servers cause you dont have it.

It doesn't spoil the game at all.

It's a gun put in the game to be used along with the ammo, so just learn to deal with it and kill the person using it.

Had this game since launch and can only connect to a MP game once in say 30 tires... anyone else this? I hardly ever play it now just because i can never connect to a game server...

Seems to happen quite regularly tbh.

Some very sore losers with admin powers on that server.

you mean some people get sore at being killed ?

Suspect this is where the next moan is going to come from after they remove the IRNV scope - Shotguns and frag ammo.
