What about a scoring system?

[Farley4Fan]

Well, if you lit up on a merc's screen on EMF then it would count it as you being detected on EMF whether he saw you or not.

[InvisibleMan999]

LOL really? I can't even begin to think how they would set the difference. Unless they cheated and used some sort of code that if the merc killed you while in EMF vision you were told you were killed by it. But even then...

Yeah that's all they did. If you got killed while the merc (or merc's drone) was in EMF, then it just registered as an EMF kill.

There really is no way to tell if you were "detected" by EMF or not, just the merc's state at any one given time.

This is the reason why we don't let X-Box people interfere =/.. .  / this isn't street fighter.

Yeah, it's not like people on PC don't play deathmatch.

I really don't think PC players are nearly as superior as they think they are. Last I checked the majority of servers on PC are DM too.

[Farley4Fan]

That was a fucking retarded post agent.  Plenty of PC DM players from what I've heard and seen.  No shit this isn't street fighter, neither is halo, but it has a scoring system.

[seefoo.]

scoring sux.  if i am lucky i will get 125 ping at the lowest.  high ping does nothing good for scores.  where as hosting does everything good for your scores.  scores smores dont mean anything to me.

I still cant imagine playing this game with pad.

Scoring beyond who won the match and kills is an ego/epeen trip. If you want to improve your game don't rely on a scoring system, pay attention to how you have been bested and learn from it.

I'm not sure what the deal is between console and pc players of this game but I have played with a number of people coming over from xbox (Even some using an xbox controler on the PC) and they get wtf pwned. It's not a skill thing it's just simply that the keyboard and mouse prove time and time again to be much more precise faster reacting controls.

It retarded to insult someone because they play on a console. If any one of these PC players had started playing it on a console they would be in the exact same situation.

Actually, I like the console controller for FPS games. While it's clearly inferior to a mouse, that doesn't even matter when everyone is using it.

The nice thing is that it does slow the game down a bit, which tends to equalize lag a bit more. So you've got a bit more time to react to a merc coming around the corner for instance, which reduces host advantage a bit, since you don't get nearly as many lag snipers or sudden host uzi attacks. The little extra time it takes to aim with a controller gives you some time to make a quick dive out of the way.

As odd as it may sound, sometimes inferior controls can improve the game.

No, that just means that the overal gameplay was too fast-paced or not balanced/targeted.
If inferior controls make something playable, and superior controls dont work out, it's a game design failure.
