OS seem too tactical to be unlocked by a kill streak, seeing as you can get them indoors.

But that is possible, I guess.

I thought this was a troll thread based on the title.

This is horrible.

So they say they're designing it for "new" and "old" players so where's the stuff for the old players?

3 empires
massive fight

That's all I see that's designed with us in mind.

I wouldn't call it horrible by any means. I may not care for Killstreaks, but I'm still very optimistic about this game, especially when we have only had two days worth of good info. Looking forward to more information and videos coming out in the future and I'm sure PS2 will be a phenomenal game in the end.

This. While I don't want the gameplay to turn into COD, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't play it even if they did.

I don't mind taking some things, but I really hope we don't end up with COD on a massive scale.

I think that with the Alpha or Beta testing if the game is too much like COD, there will be quite a sizable uproar from the testers and the community itself. I pray that it doesn't get that bad, so far I still am pumped about it, it's different from the original PS for sure, but I'm curious on how their new changes will pan out.

OK guys, this is a huge misunderstanding. they are talking about halo kilstreaks, where all you get is a KILLTACKULAR! or whatever pop up on the screen, with how indepth this game is i doubt you will get a OS/something overpowered from getting a killstreak

Raymac · 2011-07-09, 02:49 AM

Just keep stroking those reward pathways in my brain. ooohhhh yeah.

SKYeXile · 2011-07-09, 02:50 AM

That was my first guess. I mean, players fly planes so calling in a heli doesn't make much sense, and we already have radar.

Just a visual YOU'RE DOING GOOD, PAT ON THE BACK is all I imagine it will be.

Or something subtle, like TF2 does. You know they have kill streaks, right? Few notice. If you're on a roll, the game rewards you with an improved critical hit rate.

Elude · 2011-07-09, 03:08 AM

How about they just remove the knife entirely and just go with bashing players with your weapon.

As for kill streaks I agree that they wont be COD style but more UT style.

Yeah, let's not do that. If anything give dominations but no crit.

This is what I'm hoping it is after watching the Q&A session, he seemed to be struggling for a proper terminology for "player doing good, getting lots of kills" and just came out with that.

Also CutterJohn, TF2's crit sprees are very noticeable and competitive players play without them enabled as it is largely luck based, even with the "more damage, more crits" probabilities. Dominations could be cool though ;p

Or finally quell the myth that melee is in anyway suitable in a modern or futuristic war. Cept maxes.. That would hurt if one of those pimp smacked you.

@dsi: Don't much care for how the competitive people play the game. They aren't the gospel on correct. And dominations are pointless with populations like PS has. Be very rare to get one.
