copter hopping and medic healing and jets

Caslon · 08-15-2005, 03:08 PM

These types quickly get to top point wise by the end of the map.

As a lowly grunt with assault weapon or other hand held weapons and vehicle use
I usually rank up near the top at mid map play.

Then in no time....I see what I consider ourtrageous point count
by teammembers who heal and copter hop and jet fly.

My question is... are these points some how
correctly dealt out for total Global Points and next weapon?
(medic hack aside).

You can rack up big points in the support kits in a few ways. Tossing bags for team members to pickup, healing, rearming and repairing. Big battles gives a guy plenty to do. With the SO Class they will give points to those that destroy the enemy commanders assests. Next patch though. So far nothing for the assault or Sniper classes. Maybe a laser spotter for assault? That would be cool for team points.

AT also has no team points to get.

Lone copter hopping..reduce cap flag points to 1.

Medic healing...gotten outta hand.

Medic gets instant points for reviving at times when you're gonna
get nailed anyways at same revive point.

8 times outta ten, I get revived, medic gets points and him and I die anyways.

Some medics have a death wish, and they really don't care where they revive you. Worst revive method is when there is a tank near by a flag that kills me, I want to respawn with an AT gun, but the fucker keeps reviving me until the flag turns white and we are both dead.

Maybe a better thing for assault is getting more points for killing people, since that is your job. That, or decrease medic points. However, keep the points for support or engineers. Those classes are good.

Keep your kit selection screen up and I dont think they can revive you

CJMello63 · 08-15-2005, 06:05 PM

Support weapons need to be tweaked so you can actually hit something.

lol, Yeah I've had that happen to me quite a few times already. A Mec shot me, then took my gun so I was stuck with a lowly assault rifle ( hate that thing ), then a medic on my team revived me. It was right in the middle of a big fire fight so there was a lot of enemies around. I kept dieing and the medic kept reviving me. I finally had to tell him to stop and don't revive me again.

As far as points go, I believe all points count toward your next rank.

Did he have farmer's overalls on?

maverick514 · 08-15-2005, 11:03 PM

AK-101 should have been the unlocked Assault Rifle. Puts the G3 to shame.

jackbauer06 · 08-15-2005, 11:34 PM

what sucks about being critically wounded is that it takes like 20 seconds or something to spawn. i wish i could stab myself as an option when i am hit. unless...HEY! maybe when on the spawn selection screen, can you hit the suicide button, i'll test that...

AK-101 is ownage! why bother giving the chinese ak47 or the middle east people have ak101? maybe dice wants china to suck.

CJMello63 · 08-16-2005, 11:56 AM

Their weapons suck. "Look, there is the enemy. Let me unfold my origami weapon here!"

BAM!

"I'm dead!"

TitanSound · 08-16-2005, 12:36 PM

I see a lot of negative things about the Chinese weapons but I think they are OK. The SMG you get with the AT kit is quite good, also the AK is OK too. Maybe your all just crap

Uh...origami is Japanese dude.

WOODY · 08-17-2005, 09:07 PM

No that's origama, which is Japanese. Origami is Chinese. You see, with origami which is Chinese, is where you make all you folds in the right direction. Origama which is Japanese is where you make all your folds in the left direction.

Back to the original topic. I agree with Maverick here.
If you are busting your butt capping flags and killing combatants,
does a medic get same type of Global points healing from a safe distance?
I'm not saying medics always do this...
And again...a lot of copter hoppers know to just take off and start racking up points at map beginning for themselves at flag points.

My original question was this:

Does all this get adjusted to what you get as global score? I think it does, I hope it does for fairness sakes.

Forget about jets...I should have left that out of my post.

And engies DO deserve repair points...more Global end points than medics who can sit back and revive at a safe distance.

I know DICE is going to adjust the medic pointage, they should do so with lone copter pilots who go from flag to flag racking up points.

Kind of confident, eh?

Though I am kind of confused. Medics aren't way in the back all safe. They are usually right in the middle of battle. otherwise the "dead" soldiers will spawn as they try to run up to them.

Maybe i am missing the point though.
