[Ivan]

Sounds cool. I'd love to be able to see others awards and what not.

[Diddy Mao]

Killing people with beamer badge here I come!

[TheN00b]

This is gonna' be pretty cool. It's great to see the Devs balancing big things (the new vehicles) and small things like this:).

[Ivan]

We get to wear flare! :lol:

[EarlyDawn]

This is awesome. Can't wait to see a list of the commendations we can get.

[Ivan]

I don't have a high kill rate cause I'm uselly doing support or Spec Ops. So this is nice for us type of guys.

[ORANGE]

lies Ivan it's because I steal all your kills

[Ivan]

:tear: So true. :tear:

[Incompetent]

*sigh* They put in stuff like this, and yet you still get deconstructed just driving around your base because they never fixed v-pad deconstruction.

[Lartnev]

What can I say? Awesome news :D

[Wraithlord]

Yeah...so ps is to the point now were to keep people playing, they have a system to show off how "cool" you are, and like other systems like this is any other game, the people who can play the most will be the ones with the most goodies, kind of sucks, but if it comes before summer starts for me I will be pleased.

kind of like horse and a carrot, people are getting bored, but now they just HAVE to get that next medal...


at least I will be able to get a vet medal right off the bat ;)

thats not a bug

I shoudl be getting a few medals on releas day(if they count old stuff)

[321]

I want the "best arm carresser medal"! But really it sounds cool but, the new vehicles sound cooler.

[BUGGER]

Thats sick. For staying with PS for more than a year, i think we should get a medal AND some bonus xp.

It's not going to be retroactive.

[Incompetent]

thats not a bugI know that, it doesn't change the fact that it's fucking moronic that i get deconned when I drive my tank UNDER the air vehicle pads at tech plants or try to use some of the air-pads at a biolab.

[HawkEye]

sounds sweet.

[scarpas]

AWESOME!

this just sounds cool, i want my galaxy medal.

[Liquidtide]

If this ever comes I might reup my subscription, but as for now I'm discontinued.

[SilverLord]

This blows, right after i deleted my TR guy with 10k+ kills. GHEY.

[EarlyDawn]

It wouldn't matter. They said that commendations are not retroactive.

[SilverLord]

retroactive.
retroactive = what?

sorry my vocab doesn't have this work in it... :(

[EarlyDawn]

Retroactive means working backwards, basically. Spork said that with the exception of the Veteran medal, no awards would be issued based on criteria that had been met before this feature was added.

He said the veteran medal would, however, count from total play time. This award (given automatically after your character or account, it's unclear which) has been around for a year. It gives you one extra slot to display a medal on your avatar, plus an actual medal indicating you're a veteran.

I guess cloakers get screwed on this deal, eh? :lol: :lol:

Still, this is a simply marvelous idea. Would like to see it made first priority after 2.7

[Lartnev]

I guess cloakers get screwed on this deal, eh?

:rofl:

Look out for the floating medal bug :lol:

[drsomewhere]

adv. medic love thank god

[Seer]

I hope there is one that counts how many kill-assists you get for driving the vehicle the gunner is killing people with.

[Onizuka-GTO]

I hope there is one that counts how many kill-assists you get for driving the vehicle the gunner is killing people with.

:love:

[Tssha]

I hope there is one that counts how many kill-assists you get for driving the vehicle the gunner is killing people with.
I would hope that they would allow you to put something on your vehicle to show that. Maybe a hood ornament or something. :lol:

Seriously, I can't wait for the veteran medal. If they release it before the 29th though, I'll have to wait just that much longer. Doubt they will, but I'm just saying.

[Diddy Mao]

I don't have a high kill rate cause I'm uselly doing support or Spec Ops. So this is nice for us type of guys.

Most of my Kills come from Holding down Gens, repairing them or doing back hacks. You'll generally get twice as many kills out of the zerg then in a zerg!

That and they have yet to fix the problem with gunning a skyguard. If you turn the turret to look behind you, you see your helmet or parts of your helmet and it gets in the way if you're trying to take out a reaver/mosquito that's about to kill your skyguard.

[Seer]

While I wouldn't hold my breath, what would be spectacular is if you get a generic 'vanguard' decal for every 200 enemy vehicles your vehicle lays low, to a maximum of like 10.

This really isn't that big of a problem. I've driven and gunned for a SkyGuard, and I didn't find it to be a problem. I loved the SkyGuard, but I un-certed in it because I couldn't solo in it. (I'm a big solo-er)

Happens in the Harrasser too... floating TR goggles :scared:

T_Ray said he'd fixed the skyguard problem and the Groundpounder flash, but it's not in the official patch notes :(
