Points for destroying commander assests

[puglous]

Do you think more points should be given for destroying commander assets?

Re: Points for destroying commander assests

Talking about destroying UAV stations and Artys? Sometimes it's not real hard to do this. I sometimes find myself at the opposing teams base as Special Ops and no ones around and I blow everything up, but then usually they drop a supply crate and things fix themselves. I usually have time to blow them up once more before the commander spots me and sends someone after me.

I think the way that they should do it is by what flags your team has, the furthur away your nearst spawn is from their commander assests, the more points you should get.

The major problem I have is the supply crates that magically operate themselves and repair commander assestswith no necessity of any actual person at all.

Ummm, no. Although destroying assets is useful, it shouldnt be the focus for spec ops. Reality is a good commander will drop their next lot of supplies by the destroyed asset and repair it (or repair it themselves if theyre nearby) very quickly, so the benefits of blowing up these assets is very short term.

More points would incentivise camping around assets, thereby making the spec ops in question not very useful to their team as the benefits of taking out assets arent as good as supporting assaults or defending caps.

Feel free to blow up my assets though, if my claymores around the assets dont stop ya an M95 round to the head will :)

I believe we should get at least 2 points for destroying commander assets, anymore and it would create a campout at the enemy base. We spec-ops peeps don't really have an oppurtunity like a medic/support/engineer has to gain teamwork points, aside from flag caps. This would help fix that.

Cmon, if the commanders didnt have those then it would completely suck to be commander, those are the only thing that keep the commander goin realy

Re: Points for destroying commander assests

I love it when you blow up all the assets and then they drop supplies, trying to repair them...which works....but it also gives me C4 to blow them up all over again as well as the supplies.

Why? Points are meant to test contribution to your team, not the difficulty of a task. Flying a jet through the pipe in Kubra Dam is difficult (I assume), but they don't give points for that.

Ok, being specops and destroying com assets is undoubtedly contributing to the team effort and can be very skilful esp. when theres constant enemy around getting to the helis/planes!! i spent most of an Oman round in the enemy camp using the supply crate sent to repair assets re-blowing them up! I also supressed enemy air assets by killing the heli guys, plane pilots and keeping the tank out of use. Before I knew it we were 80 points ahead and won the round. Now tell me thats not useful. Getting points to blow assets now gives specops guys a real reason to be there instead of spawn camping (which I hate). Now you're just apain in the a**!!!

Doesnt matter its going to stay in and overall it adds to teamwork since it motivates people to do something to help the team.

Yeah. And I love it when you're commander and spec ops blows up your assets, and you check to find them loitering there for supplies to drop so they can repeat it ad nauseum, and you drop supplies, and just as they replant the C4 you pop some caps in their ass :)

I use teamwork most of the time with people I know. At least one or two guydwill be covering my ass.. Or the other way around.
