Blown Away

OMG TEH KALRK IZ SO PWRFUL



I have a question about stuff like this, when you hit one of those orange exploding box things, the kill message just says {Killed} But does the weapon you used to blow that up get the credit for the kill or what?



Also when you are commander and kill guys with the Orbital strike where do those kill credits go?

If you're in a vehicle or railgun, the kill credits go to that vehicle/railgun. Otherwise they just add to your kills without going to a specific weapon. I suspect the same is true for the explodey-boxey-thingeys.

Ok, I love blowing up those orange things specially when enemies are trying to run away or take cover behind those things :)

I've heard it said that when you blow an orange box and kill a soldier, it is considered a "road kill" but not associated with any vehicle. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

yeh shotty is gid =)

and well if u blow up the explosive boxes well it is the explosion that kills the dude, and u get the credit caus ure the caus of the explosion like the the flag accross from church (cant remember name) in cebere landing. if i notice the flag is getting capped il shoot the explosive crates usually there all that compact near the flag the boxes will take them out plus they dont knw the direction of where u are so if there injured u can always sneak up on them

Yeah that's how I got some easy railgun kills for the railgun ribbon. Just sit in a railgun in your main base that no one will use. :)

I got 4 guys by blowing up that thing once, it's a great feeling when you get a nice fat kill like that.

it is =) i remember spawning as sniper at base (eu) and sprinting all the way to that flag and with the stock rifle (i dont use my zeller =p) i was oh bugga there were like 6 a whole squad so i shot the box taking 4 out then throught a frag placed a apm and went to hide =P took out the other 2 with the nade =)

The shotgun is surprisingly good at destroying boxes. At ranges where the Clark wouldn't one-hit kill, it can usually detonate an explosive box with a single round.

good shot and job mate that is realy cool.

TY

When i saw the Screenshot i was wondering how i got that guy up there, then i remember i blew up an orange crate :)

You sir, have just showed me the light to getting a certain Ribbon.

[Brood+98]

people actually take cover behiand the splodey' crates, its insane.

a testament to the ever-increasing boundless stupidity of n00bs and their numbers, but, more kills to go ground i say!

I love it when people do that. Makes me laugh as I shoot the box. "Foolish nubz!" *BOOM*

On a side note, they're a good way to kill yourself so you can respawn elsewhere/with another kit without taking a suicide credit :p

Yeah, that's what I did to get that ribbon, but after I already had it I realized how good the railgun is for infantry-killing goodness (makes 'em unrevivable too). Several maps have very well-placed railguns that lend themselves not only to vehicle-killing but infantry-killing as well:
Berlin @ Outpost
Cerbere @ Command Center (up on the roof of the back building)
Verdun @ Silos 1, 3, & 5
Bavaria @ PAC's base
among others I'm sure. What I guess I'm trying to say is, don't worry too much about sitting in it as Commander, 'cause once you see how fun it is you'll get the ribbon in no time. I can't remember how long ago I got that ribbon, but I've got 719 kills in the two Rorschs (and I'd be very surprised if more than 50 of those are with the AA). W00t!

Oh, and the trick to lining up infantry when you're zoomed in (which is the only good way to fire it - a high-sensitivity mouse is indispensable) is to put the crosshair just a little bit "northwest" of your target - just a little bit! Kinda like this:
