Unlocked weapons on server?

AstroCat · 06-21-2005, 04:53 PM

Will the TG server have the extra weapons unlocked. I ask this since the TG server will be unranked. Or, do we need to play on a Ranked server that is ok like ECGN or WOLF and then come back here with our unlocked weapons?

Just wondering?

Thanks!

We believe that with the retail version there will be an option for un-ranked servers to unlock weapons... but we will have to wait and see and decide if TG wants to do this.

Supposing that you don't just auto-unlock weapons, any ideas on what you plan to do instead?

Although I'd like to see unlocked weapons just to try them out, the game is an absolute blast as-is. I'm also wary of unlocked weapons, because I have no idea yet if you automatically take the "better" weapon, or if you get to choose.

You get to choose, according to the manual.

And it has been previously stated by DICE that the unlockables are not "better" weapons, but are simply "different". In other words, they do not impact the balance of play one way or the other.

TG being ranked has not been decided yet either. All of those details will be ironed out as the retail version is more available. We need to look at what it means to become ranked and what the impact is to the TG community.

I think that TG should be ranked because as we all know TG has very good mature gamers so getting all the weapons n stuff that the game offers would be easy since we use teamwork.

TG_Rizzo · 06-21-2005, 05:58 PM

BTW, I finally found out what they call the second column on the stats page--the one with the 4 little pics on it. It's called the Teamwork stat and rightly so, as you get points there for assisted kills, healing, repairing, defending the flag, etc.. Oh, and you get "negative" pts there for TK's.

AstroCat · 06-21-2005, 06:09 PM

Well, being ranked would be fine but I forsee there being many cool mods available that we might want to use. Would being "Ranked" stop us from using mods, even ones as simple as new skins or SFX?

ive wondered what that icon has ment and i havent been able to find it anywhere..thx
and the rank thing i think that we could handle it and it would only make the game funner....

Ranking scares me, as it probably encourages rambo-play where having a high kill:death ratio and being part of every flag capture is king. You don't get many points for destroying and camping the enemy artillery with your squad, but it helps the team.

I'm all for disabling scoreboards. The map objective is what matters.

Trooper · 06-21-2005, 06:57 PM

yah i can see what you mean....maybe just have them ranked on password nights..

Arf · 06-21-2005, 08:34 PM

So are there unlockable kits for every team? The blurb on the Barret implys that you're able to shoot helicopter pilots through their cockpit windows. You can't tell me that wouldn't be a huge advantage over the other kits.

I just don't want to see both teams running around with the exact same weapon selection, it defeats the purpose of having different teams and it's just corny to pretend the Chinese and MEC would be equiping all their snipers with Barret rifles.

Ontop of that there's some bizarre stuff happening with the scoring system. I saw someone win the teamwork award with a hefty 5 points which was odd because I know the Medic in my squad revived me alone 9 times in that game.

Ranking does not have to rely on rambo stlye play. If you are a medic and you heal enough people you increase your rank. Engineers gets points for fixing things and I think special ops gets points for blowing up things with C4. You can also increase rank in vehicles. If a gunner racks up kills the driver gets his own seperate percent of the points so the driver works to steady the vehicle. Even if you get points for kills you can still use teamwork to get better ranks. That way everyone can work to gether on the TG server to get ranks and rambo stlye play will not be an issue.

That said, I think ranking would be a great way to make yourself strive to better yourself by being a team player.
