Wise lyra how do I find out my KDR?

**Lyramion** · 04-20-2009, 10:00 PM

You can look for it on your Battlefield Stats in the 2142 Main Menu !

Challenge: Find it! It´s easy

At the end of a round you are given scores including the top 2 squads. The best value of a certain category is highlighted yellow.

But I ask you Lyra, what madness is this?

Both EU top squads get 178 as a summary squad score but it is the second that gets highlighted as the best.

If the second has a higher squad score (maybe 178.5) should it not be first?
If they are both the same at 178 and the first is in first place due to more assists...why is the other one highlighted as better? XD

Uhhuu .. haven´t you like answered your questions yourself? Highlighing things isn´t directly tied to overall best

Was that the epic fail Cerbere round? Ugh.

Well not without the best being calculated in a strange way.

I thought it was the highest summary squad score goes first simple as. But the highlighted one is second. If they're exactly the same score (and the assists are the next decider) then they should both be highlighted.

The only things I can think of are either sloppy programming meaning two highest scores of a category can't both be highlighted as best. Or the scores take into account decimal places for highlighting but completely ignore them for the order of squads.

Now I've answered myself XD confusing much.

If the total points are tied the next deciding factor is total kills, so in your scenario ELH had more kills than defende.

As for why its highlighted odd, its most likely poorly coded due to this being an unlike circumstance that does not merit the time it would take to do it properly.

Oh venerable one whose knowledge flows like a babbling mountain brook into the torrent river that cuts a path deep and wide...

If one was to set motion mines on a second floor, would a walker who comes by set them off? Think Fall of Berlin and the central buildings between Roadblock and Outpost.

Dengoru · 04-23-2009, 01:43 PM

exactly how many mines/ Pilum shots does it take to kill a goliath? Also if the golaith squad is good how hard is it to kill them?

They will most likely get stuck behind the railing. If it is possible to get them on the railing they should activate properly.

It´s quite hard to impossible to hit pannels with a pilum somehow. Even point blank you just cannot kill them sometimes.

If all Pilums would hit at the same time I think 4 or 5 shots should take it out. So it´s still quite resiliant. You need like 10x RDX exploding at the same time to instakill it, too.

Yeah if a Goliath Squad it good they are really hard to kill. The key is to defend a flag and not to try plow into enemy territory alone. You stick your butt into a corner to protect the 2 rear and 2 side pannels. This way it will be relly hard for the enemy to take those out. I seen this tactic used in a NS scrim and the Golith lasted like 60% of the match defending the central flag of Leipzig

Is there any way to get my rifle to default to single shot mode?

Full auto is too much for my puny arms...

IT IS A LIE!!! IT IS EASY!!!!! THE ORACLE IS FOOLING YOU, DON'T TRUST HIM!! he is playing with you mind!!

it is quite easy, just stay still for 1 sec and crouch, and aim a little to the right, and you get a 80% accuracy.

None, because it will make your reactions slow and your mind hazy. Drink Water!

If you drink Beer strange things happen. You will all of a sudden create BYBK Squads (bring your best kit), start worthipping catman and having dreams of mating APCs

That you can kill people across the whole battlefield with the click of 1 button
