Just an FYI. You can accumilate those kind of scores by EXPLOITLOITLOITLOIT.

And that is why we dont post HOW to do the exploits here.

And this is an exploit how? Emp grenades have a large effect on infantry's ability to aim, see and adjust. All I was saying is you get score for it. Is emping vehicles and getting points for it an exploit, too?

[Vreki]

If it allows you to get the gold medal by just doing that, then I would call it an exploit.
Although you do have a point that it is has some practical use, ask yourself this: Do you want to see hordes of people do this in the game? It would effectively ruin the gameplay.

So if I repair titan guns for a a few rounds in a row and always get the gold star, does that make it an exploit? If I titan defend three rounds in a row and always get the gold star does that make it an exploit? EMPing infantry is a legit tactic, and leads to TEAMWORK score, because by blinding the enemy you are effectively helping your TEAM.

I think that there is a miscommunication here. He is not saying to "do the exploit we shall not discuss" but to EMP troops within the SL order radius to generate team points.

Do you know how many EMPs you'd have to throw to do that? Too many to make it any fun.

I'd rather shoot them.

The talk about it is my fault. I shouldn't of used the word 'spamming' which led to the whole exploit discussion.

I sometimes see it on servers with RDX hoppers or a lot of people lone wolfing. There's not much teamwork going on and people are only worried about score, badges, awards, etc etc. It can get annoying but not extreme enough to ruin gameplay.

The only awards you can gain by doing this are the ones where you need a high teamwork score in a round. But you can also generate that kind of score by running a transport squad or an APC squad. Just last night our transport pilot earned a teamwork score of 78. Two engineers sat in seats 5 and 7 repairing, one gunner, two engineers dropping mines in strategic locations and the pilot is playing the support class. We all had high scores for that matter but point being there are ways to score very high legitly and someone who has a score like that shouldn't just be labeled as a stat padder right off the bat. And that goes for someone repairing titan guns. Yea it's cheap, it's lazy but it helps the team same as with emp'ing infantry.

Oh for goodness sake. To my knowledge most of the people on this forum are not idiots. We can all make a fair decision on whether someone is throwing EMP grenades to make a stragetic effect on the enemy or those that are stat padding.

If people treated everyone else on this server with an iota of respect or stopped playing devils advocate don't you think we would have more intellegent discussions.

The problem with the exploit is that infantry aren't the only thing you can EMP and get points.

I never insulted anybody's intelligence. He was stating it was an exploit and we came to an agreement and that was that. Feel free to step off your soapbox.

Precisely... DICE put in EMP points for a reason (I think). Its not EMPing infantry/vehicles in normal course of play that is stat-padding, its EMPing the "Other Things" that is.

[Vreki]

I think we need to separate "exploit" from statpadding in this case.
If DICE intended this to give points, then its not really an exploit.
But as has been said, it also give points where it makes absolutely no sense, so I am not sure that it is "working as intended". That would make it an exploit

Most other stuff you do will have a natural limit, because it either kills the enemy, or repairs/supplys a teammate to 100%. But that is not the case with this, you can theoretically continue the whole round.

I think a good fix would be to just remove the teamwork point for this, for a "honest" soldier it wouldn't mean more than 1-2 points anyway.
Personally I never noticed being rewarded for this.

And lets discuss this in a civilized manner, it is possible to have a difference of opinion without one side being an idiot.

Just an FYI. You can accumilate those kind of scores by tossing emp grenades on infantry. When the damage indicator goes off after you throw an emp you will generate teamwork points.

you will?? never seen emp nades in a game tho

[Jaswahhihi]

I make more points in a round than that lol.

[Catziggy]

Go to the timelessgaming.com website and look in the cheats and glitchers section of the forum. theres dozens of screenshots of EMP stat padders who have been banned for doing it.

[Wizrdwarts]

Spamming EMP grenades at infantry & vehicles is fair play imo, it messes up their aim. Doing that repeatedly is no different than spamming normal nades down a titan corridor. However EMPing "other stuff" should be fixed in 1.4.
