Credit system

Monkeyfeng · 12-25-2004, 04:09 AM

i was wondering about the new weapons classes. i thought Dice said there will be a credit system where you can upgrade your weapons or buy a better weapon through your credits. but if there's already weapon classes in the game how does this credit system work? like i would have a scoped mp5 where other people don't have the scope? or what?

From the screenies it seems like each class has 2 weapons which u only can use one at first but eventually u can gain the second one, probably much better than the first one.

Dick_Justice · 12-25-2004, 01:11 PM

Yes, thats about it !

So far, every class has access to 2 different firearms. The 2nd one however needs to be unlocked.

The new weapons will have different characteristics but won´t be UBER weapons. For example, the AT can have an MP5 or a grenade launcher, both of which have certain pros and cons...

From what I understand, it's not through credits that you will be able to upgrade your weapons, but through rank.

From what I've read about it, as you rise in rank it will unlock weapon upgrades and also give you the ability to carry more ammo.

I haven't read anything about credits.

what about tech upgrades like listening to mp3 when playing the game?

Guru Imakuni · 12-28-2004, 02:46 PM

Can you show me the link where you saw tech upgrades, Tawain? Seems almost useless to include that as an upgrade based on player skill.

i remember reading it somewhere online. i will try to find the article for u. hm....... or was i dreaming?

I read that you get 1 point for each kill? is this gonna meen you also get only 1 point for killing a tank?...

PS Sorry I haven't been here in a while. i left to Munich and now my router is broken... it'll be a while before I'll have my internet back =(

slytiger · 01-03-2005, 09:04 PM

Probably. It only seems fair that you get 1 point for killing someone else even if they are in a tank. If u manage to kill it then most likely ur an AT class or in a vehicle that could take it out thus it is basically a fair fight.

NavalLord · 01-04-2005, 02:02 AM

if you killed a tank with a knife however, thats a different story, you would get the uber points of being kicked for hacking and thus have no real points so ya its only fair to get 1 point for killing something you are suppose to kill

Guru Imakuni · 01-04-2005, 06:17 PM

...well yeah because you can't kill a tank with a knifes. lolz!!!

slytiger · 01-04-2005, 07:59 PM

Theoretically if the knife can do any bit of damage then u can at times kill a tank with a knife. Otherwise it isnt possible.

Soyuz · 01-04-2005, 09:06 PM

I duno about you but when its 1 AT guy vs. a tank, the tank always wins. You need at least a few guys to take a tank out. They could then share the points they get for killing the tank (if it were more than 1...)

God soyuz you have to play more BF. :P

NavalLord · 01-04-2005, 10:10 PM

jesus i can kill a tank with 1 shot with AT kit, but i prefer to use mines in my suicidal tactics

werent you able to kill tanks with a knife a long time ago, either before patches or in one of the earlier ones, i thought that the knife use to do a tiny bit of damage and if you spent enough time you would eventually kill the tank, took like 30min though

I think it was here, but some1 conducted a test on all the tanks with all types of weapons, including the knife. Took them 3 days or somthin' with a knife, and like 2 hours with a pistol. I don't remember the details, maybe you can search for it.

It would drive me insane. I want to search for it, but I wouldn't know what to search for. Maybe one of the old guys remembers.

There used to be a weapon statistics site. Listed the weapons and their damage values against materials. Even the flare was listed.
