Game may be fairly balanced.....

So far, this game is really UNbalanced. However, that's fine, because it is a beta. As someone pointed out earlier, the kill streak perks are cool, but simply widen the gap between the great and mediocre players. They should add some death streak perks to balance them out, too.

For example, if you die 5 times in a row, you get an increase in radar range temporarily (just for your character; not team). Die 7 times, you get a temporary increase in damage (for 3 kills, or until you die). At least this way, you can bounce back temporarily and feel like you are getting something done. I've seen too many people drop from games after being mopped around by experienced players. It happens way too often, because once a player get son a kill streak above 5, he just keeps going thanks to the perks.

Well, we were talking about the weapon balance, which seems pretty solid. That's a good idea though, I know I'd appreciate something like that when I'm getting my ass handed to me.

 

[MaX_PL]

such a good game. comparable to halo on the fun scale.

very feature filled.

 

[MercuryLS]

When you take it slow and tactical you do well, no run and gun no spray and pray.

You need to make very quick, calculated moves and improvise (using C4 intelligently can save your ass in some tricky situation).

Once I started to learn that you gotta play this differently I started to do well. I just got 23 kills, 3 deaths in one match. Was really happy with that

I like your ideas, but I also like the fact that new players have to take their lumps before they can get the better perks, weapons, etc. It makes leveling up more gratifying and is something you don't see in a lot of shooters. I've played for a couple of hours and I've been loving it.

I grab the shotgun and just run around like it's Quake. Ever since I adopted this strategy I am getting constant 20-30+ kill games and my accuracy is up like 20%.

Well if you do that in the indoors map it's effective, but for the other two maps? I don't see how that'd work.

I saw a guy like him the other night. You'd be surprised.

it's about staying in the right places lol.

 

[Spooka]

I love that nobody on my friends list has beaten my 27 kill streak yet...

It should be noted that mmarsu was hosting from overseas and the entire server was lagging beyond belief. Free kills for mmarsu. Hah.

 

[Dirtbag]

I think a team/player should get a +10 points for taking down the helicopter

you can shoot the heli down?

anyway, my weapon of choice is the M4 with red dot. you cant go wrong with red dot up close or long distance. need some more perks though to truely make me unstoppable.

 

[Dirtbag]

you can shoot the heli down?

Hell yeah you can shoot it down. Thats the whole reason for the rpgs! Bullets will take it down too, but expect to get shot to death before dropping it.

 

[MirageDwarf]

I'm innnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I downloaded and played few games. I noticed helicopters/fighter plane. At what level you get to fly those?

At this point all I have to say is it looks solid.

 

[MaX_PL]

when you go on 5 kill streak or 7 kill streak

The saw choose that thing up like its nothing

 

[MirageDwarf]

Ok. That's gonna take SOME time for me to fly one of those.

You don't get to FLY them. They're things you can call in at 5 and 7 kills.

You don't drive them.

3 kill streak you get the UAV radar

5 kill streak you get to call in an airstrike which are the planes you saw.

7 kill streak you can call in the chopper.

 

[derder]

Do the experience, perks, etc. transfer over to retail?

 

[Buttonbasher]

Do the experience, perks, etc. transfer over to retail?

Doubt it. If the Halo 3 beta was any indication.

 

[MercuryLS]

Nope.

 

[SpudBud]

Anyone want to get a GAF game going?

 

[soco]

finally got around to playing a few games. maybe it's the net connection here at my brothers, but every single game was unplayable. worse than the h3 beta. had 2 disconnects and 2 crashes too, which is fine since it's beta, but unless they're having some known trouble, the net code has to have some pretty big changes if it's gonna be playable here.

 

[armubaba]

Anyone want to get a GAF game going?

Spud you whore, accept my invites.

Spoiler

I'm game.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

[Freki]

Beta - no (not yet at least)
Final - highly likely as you get a msg at 10 and15 kills

 

[Cubsfan23]

Wow.

Still no token.

This thing is a joke :lol

 

[WHOAguitarninja]

[FLUXCapacitor]

Hate to ask this but I am dying to play this. Just finished Bioshock and need something new to play. Any kind souls willing to do the account glitch for me? I have a japan account with 48 hour gold account i can use rather than my main gamertag. PM me if you can do this for me.
