HowieMandels, X-tra Point Loving for Snipers, Assaulters.

[HowieMandel]

Hey.......medics.....engies and support can kill, and take flags just like everyone else. They get the same as us snipers and assaulters. Problem is, us poor snipers and asaulters dont get any xtra point loving.

So..........how can we get points? What could we do?

Let the ideas flow. Here is mine.

Snipers. Pull a few strands from your grassy suit, and toss on an enemy tank. You wont do any damage to it........but it sure will look a whole lot more prettier. Whats that......... 1 point for being decorative. You've earned it soldier.
Asaulters. How about, this class can toss bannana peels everywheres. And when an enemy walks and slips on one, you get a nice point. Sure, the enemy wont die.......but he'll look funny falling down. 1 point soldier.

Assault- 3-4 points for kill, 2 points for kill assist.

Snipers- same.

Their job is to kill, nothing more. So reward them for their job.

Re: HowieMandels, X-tra Point Loving for Snipers, Assaulters.

Nice one..........chris. I like that one.

The front line classes, as proposed by many a medic/engy/support, should get more points per kill. Perfect.
Then we would see all these supposed true and blue medics, and support folks go assault/sniper.

im not being sarcastic......just saying, all these medics who say they only like being a medic, not for just the points.......well you'd see them go assault and sniper classes if this were to be made true.

lol arghhhh.
Because in the end, i dont care really who you are.... 9 out of 10 people want the points. Nothing more. hell not even a win..........just the points.

I think winning as an individual objective got faded in everyones 50th, or 100th game hour. In Demo. In ranked server it went with the first award...

Re: HowieMandels, X-tra Point Loving for Snipers, Assaulters.

Yeah.....the demo, and even a few months after the game came out......
squads were filled. VOIP was filled, people were picking classes that the squads needed, no one squad hopped. It was almost clan like, sometimees in the way the folks acted, as far as tactics and what not.
You really dont see that at all anymore. I mean, you can create it and what not, and its around still........just barely.

oh....hey,

perhaps a progressive points payout to winning folks would be cool. It could get abused, but then most things do.

Like 20 games won.. 10 points added to that peticular round. 5oth round won, 15 points added to that round......with the saying, in game......
"howiemandel's 50th win" whatever....
That would be kinda cool.

Re: HowieMandels, X-tra Point Loving for Snipers, Assaulters.

Well, just award people for captures, with a significant boost. Say- 5 points for a cap, and 3 for an assist, 5 for neutral and 3 for neutral assist. This way, people would RACE for the FLAGS, isntead for the camp spots. Also, 3 or 5 for flag defense would be a good addition aswell.

Points are the key, whatever you do, if you want to alter peoples ways how they play their game, you have to alter the points, and methods of getting them.

I think that is one hell of a good idea.. Very very good idea I would love to be assault then..

Also I think the squad system.. Not purely the system but I think this would be a better idea so people would actually squad up etc:

I think best squad out of the game should get 1.5X Points so people will actually join squad in place of making all of their own squads.. Like their is one good guy in the server then everyone will join that squad 6 people in it full people will make another squad and will try to get more points than the other squad..

Re: HowieMandels, X-tra Point Loving for Snipers, Assaulters.

Komet, while a 1X5 multiplier sounds good on paper, youre actually still not making people stick together as a squad, so basically youve got people in squads, but they still run solo, and enjoy the 1.5 multiplier all over the map. This wont work.

Re: HowieMandels, X-tra Point Loving for Snipers, Assaulters.

Yeah that could be but I still think good squads should be rewarded and bad not what's the use of a squad? Well now you can only win the game by being a good squad but I still think squad should get something 'extra' like the 1.5X Multiplier..

But yeah people would all make squads and lock theirself up in their squad so no one else can get points extra (will increase their ratio to get a Gold/Silver/Bronze Medal..)

I still believe different kits should really get more points like the Sniper/Assault kit or add something else the current state they're now in is hilarious..

If I fly sniper in a jet (which many people do, personally I fly medic) Then I get double the points? That sounds unbalanced.

Re: HowieMandels, X-tra Point Loving for Snipers, Assaulters.

All classes should get more points rewarded for killing while on foot, and not sitting in a vehicle. Using the weapons their kit has given them should be awarded more by the game.
I believe it would be fair enough if a kill from a tank, or a kill from an bomb drop would be less rewarding.
Of course this is never going to happen, but it would give back the kits their intended use and more strenght over the battlefield.
I am a bit biased since I spend most of the time on the battlefield on foot. So please be kind :)

Indeed, which is why they should make it extra PTS only if you use the kit and its weapons.

As for score multiplier, if there was a way to set a "multiplier area" around the squad leader, this would work ver well.

Re: HowieMandels, X-tra Point Loving for Snipers, Assaulters.

Howie, the sniper does have that little surprise package he can leave here and there, which does give him extra "loving". C'mon, you know the grin you get when you score an extra 2 points (sometimes more) from half way across the map. Thats loving it right there.

Mbe give the assault .5 point for a smoke deploy? I guess in theory the assault is supposed to be the first one in which should mean more points for a good player. So its indirect love. lol.

Then you can turn to realism. All classes are allowed in the transport helicopters, this is no problem. Only engineers are allowed in jets, for repairs in remote areas, and just support and engineer in attack helicopters, for ammo and repairs. Then I guess tanks would get used...Well is it possible to code that a sniper for instance, gets double kills if he uses one of these five?

1.Knife
2.Pistol
3.Rifles
4.Grenades
5.Claymores

I don't know. But it's annoying when you like the cool, long range "1 shot, 1 kill" feeling of the sniper but it's just not worth it if you want to progress in the game.
