Cert. Combo's

What kind of certs will you guys start out with? And what kinds will you use when you get higher ranked?

Toimu · 2003-02-23, 07:01 PM

The kind used to kill.

You get Battle Experience Points (BEPs) for killing opponents and other battle related things. You get Command Experience Points (CEPs) for leading your squad to victory, which I assume means that you successfully take over a base. BEPs get you certifications so you can use guns and drive vehicles. CEPs opens up a command chat, where you can talk to other commanders of your status. There are 20 levels for BEPs, and 5 levels for CEPs.

You start with standard weapons (pistols, knifes and SMGs) and standard armor (bullet proof vest), you get BEPs from going to battle, BEPs give you lvls which give you cert points. You spend cert points on certifications in armors, weapons and vehicles. Go here for more information.

I do believe you start off with 2 certs (your choice), and can get 3 or 4 in the VR training area

More like 1-2 in the VR training area. You start with 2 Cert points, and can get to BR3, which is 2 more cert points. With the average cert costing 2-3 points, you will leave with 1-2.

check that out,it has all certs and implants and shows how much they cost

Moleculor · 2003-02-23, 09:01 PM

Wow. If that ain't an NDA violation, I dunno what is.

And remember everyone, getting 5-6 cert points from training does not necessarily mean 5-6 certifications. They all cost different amounts.

Lol Molecular, I think that calculator is just a rough guesstimater. It isn't from Beta.

firecrackerNC · 2003-02-23, 09:07 PM

it works for now tho

Fire_Monkey · 2003-02-23, 09:11 PM

First i'll get weapons certs (Sniper/Heavy Assault), then I'll go get armor certs (agile armor), then vehicle certs (Basilisk,Galaxy), and last skills (hacking/adv. hacking/ possibly engineering)

SilentCacophony · 2003-02-23, 09:20 PM

I think I'll go for sniper, then armour, then either a buggy or a reaver. I want to lead, so I'd like to be able to hang back somewhat and pick people off, while being able to zoom in and out of battle situations. I may go for an automatic though since I also believe in leading from the front.

Moleculor · 2003-02-23, 09:22 PM

Personally I'll be taking Certs in this order...

Infiltration (and whatever is required to get me there).
Hacking.
Wraith.
Advanced Hacking.
Engineering.
Combat Engineering.
After that I -may- take a MAX or some weapons certs. Or maybe Galaxy. MAXs and weapons are low priority.

MrVulcan · 2003-02-23, 10:17 PM

Well I am going to go with either a reaver 1st or grab the phoenix... not usre what one yet... will decide once I get to play the game =) May decide to get the vanguard ASAP though.... one of those 3 for sure....

Flameseeker · 2003-02-23, 10:24 PM

I'm grabbing Agile Armor, and then a Gauss Rifle. Next I will pick up Reaver. I will spare you the rest of my plan to become a level 20.
