KILLZONE 2 - The |OT|
- Thread starter BruceLeeRoy
- Start date
I don't find the Air support ribbons that hard to get. I was playing last week, and I got 10 or 11 in one regular Warzone game. The problem I have is when there are a gazillion engineers killing my bots, or when I have to share bots with a team-mate. Other than that, it's pretty simple.
I always rack up tons on Corinth Crossing pretty easily. Just 3 more badges to go.

Today i reached a total of 20,000 mission points 
But i think for it to work there must be quite a few people who are playing. Because if there are a few people who are playing, and only 1-2 people are spawning at the same time, and there are maybe 3-4 enemies that are camping + turrets, then it probably will be very hard to "take over" (or what i shall say) the enemy base. So it might be very hard to do so as you mentioned, i dont deny that

Letting the spawning player be invincible until they fire still gives them an advantage, as they can line up headshots, etc. while untouchable. I agree that invincibility isn't automatically bad, but the "only until you fire" solution isn't problem-free.Iain Howe said:
But the point about explosives camping spawns is valid. That's why, though I think the current system needs changing, I don't advocate removing the invincibility in any fashion. I'd rather see spawn grenades be forbidden in objective zones. The game already has set areas around capture & hold points obviously, but it also has them around search & destroy (so it can award extra points for kills there, if you have the badge). Adding them to the objectives and spawn area in search & retrieve would be a piece of cake, I'm sure.
I prefer this solution because I don't trust ones based on player choice. Removing invincibility would cause good Tacticians--such as GAF ones--to alter their placement to provide protection. But I guarantee many players would ignore it, and end up getting their team slaughtered through bad placement (especially considering the facing issue). Forcing them to drop outside the hot zones is a more robust method of ensuring smoother play than relying on the good sense of the users.
Decent idea but needs more planning out.-viper- said:
2-3 seconds invincibility max.
As soon as you start cooking your grenade you should be vulnerable as well, would be stupid to cook nades and release them taking ppl out while your invincible still.
Other than that, good idea.
Liabe Brave said:
Allow spawn grenades to be destroyed within the first 20-30 seconds, the point is if the parameter is secured and once the spawn is able to be established the team can take advantage of it, if you just throw it there to force spawn the other team can destroy it quickly, it prevents some bozo just running right into a crowd of the enemy team and throwing a spawn.
I never really noticed it pre-patch as I wasn't using a Sab that regularly, but post patch with a Sab, I notice it at least a few times a round. I'd block off an entrance to cover my back while I concentrated on another area, but have someone come up behind me and kill me.JardeL said:
So, I figure they blew up the C4 and I didn't notice, but all 3 are still there when I respawn and head back to the area.
I think FFObsessed mentioned it yesterday as well. Whatever they supposedly did, didn't fix it.
I mentioned the same thing. Having the invincibility end after they fire doesn't really solve everything. It sure as hell won't stop a assaults from spawning, lining up and firing a rocket at you. And by that time, it doesn't really matter if he's vulnerable for the half second you're still alive.Liabe Brave said:
If he has any sense whatsoever, he'd just spawn head out a doorway (which he's safe to do with invincibility on), fire the rocket and duck around the corner. You won't kill him in time and he'd at least have another rocket ready to spam... x100 in S&D.

How about, the tactician has to stay alive for 10 or so seconds while the grenade arms?

In clan games I almost always have to go engineer because no one else wants to. It sucks because I am so much more efficient with the M82.
icechai said:
You could make it similar to how engineers place turrets, that way it wont be an obnoxiously long time to plant but solve the problem of people running in and dropping a spawn point while dying. Also if you kill a tactician with a spawn grenade in their hand it should NOT be placed and activated.

Has anyone else been kicked from a game?
My brother and I were "cheating" last night to get the air support ribbons and after a few minutes we were booted from the game. I still got my ribbon, but he only had 4 kills before getting kicked. We tried a second game and that one ended even sooner.
This happen to anyone else?

People that hate being an engineer are those that don't know how to behave as an engineer.
What an engineers has to do:
1 - Place turrets where/when needed depending on mission. And repair stuff.
2 - Stay on defense all the fucking time. On BC, see point 3.
3 - Stay away from open areas. Stick with small rooms/corridors.

Yep I love defending during objectives. I'm always an Engineer during S&D defend on small games placing turrets and C4. Same with S&R.

Good job I've already got all my medals, looks like they're stepping up the moderation.
Staying together with teammates all the time , placing bombs , killing enemies are not the priorities for Tac imo ...commish said:
When I play Tac , especially if its PR , at first I place spawn grenade & air turret , if it is possible , do it in 2 different areas ...
When mode comes close to end [ eg. 30secs to end ] , I leave the area , run & find myself a place in the middle of the map and keep myself ready for the next mode and I must not die while doing this [ which can cause a sudden defeat - S&D defend - ] ...
So these keep me out of action area but I dont care ...
I dont say my way is the best way , maybe not , maybe I'm wrong but this is how I play and I see that when I succeed my team does also ...

Sure no problem. We'll do some later today if you wish.
Same goes for anyone else as well, I don't mind helping out.

I hope this is as far as it goes. I would hate to get banned for something like this.
By the way, I never noticed this before but it seems as though turrets only last for about 5 minutes, is that true?

They do blow up by themselves after a while yeah. Same with C4 although that just disappears I think, and air drones fly away.
JardeL said:
So what do you do while the spawn grenade is up? I don't understand... you just avoid action? And on a lot of maps, that's simply not possible, as they are too small. Sure, you'd get less kills this way, but wouldn't you also have less deaths?
Coincidently, I'm usually one of the top killers on the team while also playing as a tactician.commish said:
I usually sit atop the list in most games I play, probably because I spend so much time trying to predict the next gamemode to get myself into position - that I'm usually scoring objectives right along with placing spawn grenades.
Those grenades also need to be replaced every minute and a half or so.

I still need to do this too, so I'm in whenever anyone else is in to get the airbot medal. can play any time today... was gonna do it yesterday but got caught up trying to get my sniper badge. Did get 2 sniper ribbons finally!
