I see some bonus points pop up but they are always some small amount like 60 points.

Are those based on overall team performance on individual stats? I haven't been able to figure it out.

Not sure, I tried to figure it out last night but I could not make out any particular pattern.

The way I see it the strategists like you and I get rewarded with airstrikes and choppers. With the instant respawn system though jihadists get a good benefit from running into a room killing one guy, dying, rinse, wash, repeat. The fear of death is there but not as much as other FPS I think.UnholySpectacle said:

Hey, when you look at a guy's stats in any FPS, what you look at is K-D ratio, so rest easy knowing kids like that won't have a good one.
I don't have a good one either.

IW will have to do the following before the Beta ends (so I know it's definitely done) before I will buy the game:
1) Tone down the fucking AK. Everyone is whoring it now, and it's way too over-powered.
2) Drop the shotgun.
3) Drop the Uzi. It's pathetic. I thought it was a short range weapon, but I've been killed from the other side of Overgrown with it. :lol
3) Sort out the SPAWNING.
If this update revealed how bad the Uzi is, I dread to think what other guns are going to be in the game, and not even balanced properly.
At the moment it's like some big melting pot; it's like someone was asked to write down 50 guns, and IW couldn't pick the best so they just shoved them all in.

So basically, you die a lot.cjelly said:
..but yes, some of those are valid complaints.
edit:
Had the most bug filled, laggiest game ever today. I have no idea who the host was or where he was located, but a few minutes into a mostly perfect game it just turned into a crapfest. No connection error message or anything... All of a sudden, people started falling out of the sky. I shot a guy off the a ladder on Crash, he died (I got the credit), but then came back to life still on the ladder and continued about his business.
Then he jumped down and we started a Matrix-esque gunfight, jumping all over the place in slow motion while dodging incoming bullets. After a few mins, I called my Chopper support just to see what would happen. Then, for some reason, everytime it killed someone they got renamed to something else.
It was awesome. :lol
Hey all, I posted a couple pages back about having issues with getting the Beta to actually work for me, for whatever reason it just will not let me join a game when I select find a game . I was wondering if one of you could just add me to your Live list and see if it will let you invite me to your party and join that way?
I don't know what else to try, I've checked and rechecked my network settings, I've checked my firewall, other multiplayer games work fine and I'm starting to go crazy now.So if someone is on and willing to try this out for me add me Live ID: ZeroEdge X and maybe it will let me join a game that way...I Hope.
Thanks.

Assists should be worth more than half a kill, say 6 or even 7 points (7 might be pushing it). It'd encourage people to help out their friends rather than pissing off after the slightest hint at a free kill in the other direction. You wouldn't feel as burnt about having your kill stolen that way either.Relix said:

is the NAT value on the connection test strict or open? sometimes even with open, it helps to manually map the ports anyway. other games will usually work with strict NAT settings, but when i took my 360 back home the router was being strict and it wouldn't let me connect at all. (it's always been open before...)
I think they should either change Team Deathmatch or offer a tactical style team deathmatch.
What I mean is, in Team Deathmatch, people pretty much just play like suicidal freaks. There's no team strategy. I rarely hear voice chatter trying to coordinate attacks, and trying to coordinate one is fruitless because the enemy is so spread out and random.
I think they should have a tactical deathmatch in which your team gets 1 life, sort of like objective mode, except you just play simply to eliminate the other team.
Or in deathmatch, add some sort of penalty to the overall score of your team for dying, so that your idiot teammates won't go running off on their own. The only problem with this is the possibility of abuse.

I just put in on mine, who's gonna stop me?
*hides*
Same here, put that on once I reached level 12. One of these days during the beta, if I ever run into another Gaffer I'm gonna have to whip out the Braveheart "...unite the clans!" call and hope we get put on the same team. :lolMaizeRage25 said:
I like the new challenges they unlocked for the Boot Camp, its gonna take a while til I get that marathon one though...
I finally got my stupid 360 to stay connected and actually connect into a COD4 match YAY. I don't know why it decided to start working (everything is still the on the same settings as earlier) but I'm glad it did. I just played a few rounds and so far it's a blast, I really like the point system and stat boosts, gun customization etc, as for any balance issues well I haven't really got into it enough to really be bugged by it yet. Looks like I have one more game to add to my must by list this fall 
the gamer in me will be happy but my poor wallet will cry.

The Shotgun has shot the size of marbles. It's ridiculous that is gets one shot kills at such a long range as it does.
But it's limited fire rate helps to balance it a bit more. But I find most people use the shotty are limited in skills and camp most of the time. Lying down in an ally, or hiding in corner waiting for someone to run in front of them. Lame.
ANY AUSSIES WANTING TO PLAY SOME BETA FEEL FREE TO ADD ME.
GT= Peaking Legoman
And can someone tell me when I start to get some decent weapons? Im getting my ass absolutely handed to me right now, and every time its by some douche camping near a fence with a fucking red-dot scope.
Also for the Australians -- this is the worst lag Ive ever experienced in a game ever ever ever. Aussie only matches are mandatory here unfortunately.

What's with the Uzi complaints? When I first picked it up off the ground (just got off work was still level 11), I thought hey finally a machine gun type weapon that requires some skill to use. It had actual recoil and the clip seemed to go really fast.
I was doing pretty well by myself tonight, had the GAF clan tag on, couple guys sent me FR and voice messages asking if they could join my clan. :lol

The Uzi + Deep Impact is the weapon of choice for Vacant. You can mow down people like nobody's business.

Seriously, this shit's worse than Gears of War. The lag in this is so horrible, I never get a game where I'm not red / yellow bar. The ONLY match I've played in green was with Aussies, and it was the most fun I've had in the entire Beta.
Too bad the game auto-matches you with games (And often the same game you quit out of). If I just left a game because I had a red bar, why the hell would I want to rejoin it?
But apart from the networking, this game's a blast. I'm glad there'll be something to play when

If you were legitimately invited to beta you should report such issues in detail. The LSP servers gather all pertinent data so when you report such issues IW will be able to figure out why and potentially fix it. They will need to know exactly when and where this happened in order to do anything.
Wow, I think I'll stick to playing during the daytime. I kept getting matched with lag fests, so many Europeans too. Two complete Scottish retards were playing and just plan assholes, they just wouldn't STFU, saying they'd hack my 360, LOL. Dumbasses. It would've been far more annoying if their accents weren't so thick. And they were trying to imitate us "yanks" in the best "American" accent they could. Pure comedy. I really should start recording the audio from my games.

Assuming token = legitimate, then sure. But I wouldn't think they'd be able to fix international lag, though? Unless they have a way to optimise general latency (Or any other network troubles caused over large distances), I doubt any information would be of value. Unless you're referring to joining the same game I left, then I suppose I could report that next time it happens.
Well, I'll send the guys at IW an email regarding the unpleasant state anyway, though I'm still sceptical about what they could do, let alone what they would do.

Did these "yanks" have a southern accent? If so, they're not yanks.
