So all or nothing.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Domination the first match!!

No points, just kills. Interesting.

Wait? Is there points? Didn't see themx

 

[Totakeke]

Waited 3 minutes for the last person to fill up. Blargh.

 

[MrPanic]

Echolocators everywhere.

 

[Burning Justice]

Think I'll try the new map first.

 

[Gaiaknight]

ranked battles are intense holy crap 0.o won my first one

 

[jtrov]

You're deadly with that roller. I just try to stay out of your way. Lol

Hah thanks... And to think the only reason I fell in love with the damn thing is because my son, who struggles with Dual Analog shooting, would use the Rollers because it was easier for him to control. So when we would pass the controller between matches I would just stick with the rollers instead of exiting the match. Now I can't quit!

 

[Pappasman]

Its really weird they locked a bunch of on disc content for only 3 days.

 

[Violet_0]

btw, points don't paint the whole picture. From what I understand they basically just show you who inked the most ground at the end of the match - I sometimes manage to top the scoreboard with a charger simply by covering the "safe" areas around the spawn point which isn't really going to help win games. Usually I rush mid and help ink the contested areas which get painted over again and again so in the end you won't get all that many points out of this, but you slow down the enemy team. The real MVP is the one who successfully invades the enemy turf

besides, I'm still much more concerned about my k/d ratio, old habits

 

[Outtrigger888]

What's the new mode and how do you play? Don't wanna go in blind when I play later.

 

[WALKMAN04]

My teammates were playing like it was turf war and we still won

 

[RedFyn]

This is crazy

 

[Neiteio]

So you can't join friends in ranked?

Probably so you can't coordinate some sort of leveling scheme

 

[Magicman103]

I love the NZAP!!!!

 

[DorkyMohr]

I wasn't expecting the launch of the ranked battles to just show up as a newsflash, that was really neat. Best implementation of a "live event" type feature I've seen in games.

 

[Dr. Buni]

I lost :/

 

[Chezzymann]

Is every match you win a knockout?

 

[_Clash_]

I played like 6 hours of this last night in the evening.

Was so stimulated I couldn't sleep after 8|

 

[Clockwork5]

So it's on-disc stuff that they're just keeping away from us.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

What is so funny?

I think this is great! You choose to see it one way, I happen to think the way they are unveiling this is refreshing! It's building the sense of community as we speak, is it not?

 

[Blak_Status]

Definitely need to switch up weapons for ranked

 

[ramoisdead]

Locked on disc content? Now that's more shittier than the Amiibo distribution.

 

[Papercuts]

Not being able to join friends in ranked is...I don't even know. What the hell.

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

Its really weird they locked a bunch of on disc content for only 3 days.

They probably just wanted to keep it as simple as possible at first given that their target demo is people new/unfamiliar with shooters.

 

[Busaiku]

Land mines are so good for this.

 

[arimanius]

So 20 points for a win and -10 for a loss.

 

[Josh5890]

Second match. We were down to 1 point left but wound up losing.

 

[BitStyle]

Ooh. I'm liking the zapper

 

[DanteGhost]

Guys I've been adding some of you to play ranking matches. Please check the firend requests so I can join.

 

[K.Sabot]

15-3 with charge 0-80 victory.

 

[phanphare]

this mode is fucking nuts

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Major comeback! I miss GAF already though :/

 

[MrPanic]

Ok, that new map is crazy big.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Geez, these are intense.

 

[Clockwork5]

Locked on disc content? Now that's more shittier than the Amiibo distribution.

But it's not locked...

 

[Tuck]

That special that throws a giant fucking bomb over an entire area is hella OP for this new mode. Despite that, we won.

 

[CronoShot]

My first impressions of this game:

"A communications error has occurred."

Seriously, 2 of the 5 games I've played ended with a communications error. I just want to get to level 4, dammit!

 

[EndlessSky]

Time to pull out the blaster lol

 

[Timeaisis]

Eh, back to turf war.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Its really weird they locked a bunch of on disc content for only 3 days.

It was smart, if they didn't Wii U users would never have bought the game (or would have immediately sold it) because they're terrified of shooters.

Get a wired connection
I'm level 10 and I've never had a single disconnection

 

[Totakeke]

You can get 0 points in ranked... I know because I just did .

So the risk is higher compared to turf wars.

 

[Blunoise]

Its really weird they locked a bunch of on disc content for only 3 days.

No it's not. They already said that once enough people got lvl 10 it would be release. So obviosuly it was on disc, they could just make a mode that quickly if it wasn't

 

[Africanus]

Ranked ain't no world for a roller.

 

[Chezzymann]

Won all 3 of my matches, 5,600p just like that. Wow this is way quicker than turf war lol

 

[Peléo]

New map is... okay.

How did you play it? I thought Saltspray Rig and Urchin Underpass where on right now.

 

[Malvingt2]

OMG Ranked is crazy fun lol

 

[Timeaisis]

Won all 3 of my matches, 5,600p just like that. Wow this is way quicker than turf war lol

Thought max was 500p for a win?

 

[WALKMAN04]

I must be good at this game beat a guy named satan 3 times in a row

 

[Kid Ska]

Rollers destroy on Mackerel

 

[The Adder]

2 wins by knock out, one loss 83-97

 

[B00TE]

The new map is gonna be fun to figure out
