Artillery exploit?

Re: Artillery exploit?

what??? 67 kills with arty?
I am ranked about 3500 in world as Commander
and avg about 15 kills with arty
and I use it ALL the time
how many TK's did you get
I feel AWFUL if I get even 1-3 per game
usually none

Uhm I hate to break it to you but its easy on some games to get 50 or 60 kills with the artillery. When I'm commander I can get at least some 20 when its a bad map and players are very scattered, 30-40 on a somewhat good map, and 50+ on a real nice map.

Just because your ranked 3500, doesn't mean its not posisble for someone to simply be better than you at striking. I know in 1 strike on a 64 man karkand server I took out 20 people at once. If you ask anyone here thats no surprise, and the common response you'll hear is "the other team was all n00bs. They were stupid enough to stay huddled together", which was true

Re: Artillery exploit?

I consider it smart playing but for all you people that dislike it apart from taking commander from them when they resign another simple way to stop it is to cast a mutiny vote against them while they're commander, often they will not notice it or just disregard it but if they resign while the mutiny vote is in action they will be unable to apply for commander for another 5 minutes giving ample time for a new commander to take the position.

Re: Artillery exploit?

Yeah, i don't even know what the exact numbers are,but i if all my commander points counted full, i would have about 500 more global points.

I believe you still get your full commander score at the end of the round added to your global score, but the way they split up the scores into sub-categories is weird.

WEll, it don't happen to me, i got excess commander points that don't count into global score. Only very little amount do. If you were to add up all your points from combat, teamwork, commander you would see it's greater than your global score right now, just go to BFHQ and check itout.

Don't add up the Teamwork, Combat, and Comander score. I just told you the way they split up the points into the subcategories is weird. If you get 100 commander points in a round, you should see your global score go up by 100.

Re: Artillery exploit?

oh this works, but if you do this while your being mutinied you wont be able to apply for commander fpr 5 mins that show you stop this.

Re: Artillery exploit?

i dont think its an exploit. I mean commanders should get points for kills with arty.

I easliy accept your comments
was just soooooooo surprised to see so many kill with arty

My comments about being ranked so high
was just my way of saying I play CO often
(and armor and fly cobra)
anyway
when I am CO - I REALLY focus on the game
and ARTY ALLLLLLLLL the time
and never get more than 20 kills
maybe just my luck in the game that the enemy is rareley grouped together, without many blue dots around (our clan has 32 slots)

Re: Artillery exploit?

I tested this yesterday just to see and you do get the points for arty if you resign before the arty is fired. I guess it's an exploit but isn't really all that important though IMHO.

Re: Artillery exploit?

If you're not commander, you get 2 points for each kill. If you are commander you get ZERO.

What's funny is that if you have say your Knife out and kill 67 people with artillery as commander the game thinks you killed 67 people with your KNIFE (easy way to get badges).

I'm pretty sure this is a bug and hopefully will be addressed in v1.03 patch.

does this really work? ihavent tested it but i dont think it does

Re: Artillery exploit?

Seems like a real pain to me, switching in and out of commander mode to get arty kills, then resigning, in the meantime you could have killed just as many people, I think.

Re: Artillery exploit?

It's definately an exploit, just another way to stat pad. If you're gonna do this you might as well just take the big leap and go knife/revive on a padder server.

Re: Artillery exploit?

i dont see how it is, commanders dont get **** for a score compared to playing regularly. They should automatically get points for that, i think its BS cause they dont get the points.

And I think it's bs that commanders doing nothing but exploiting a bug to stat pad get a better score than commanders that DO THEIR FREAKIN JOB. And the good commanders always get a good score anyway, it's the crappy ones that can do nothing but drop artillery on respawns that get low scores.
