Thanks Quickster

Yep. If you see me put up a chopper, it is because there were too many enemies who just wouldn't kill me and I couldn't help myself but to stab them all. Sometimes it is just too easy.

If I get five or six kills I will run out and get waxed. Spawn and call in an airstrike and hope that it kills 5-6 more. The only other way I'll call in a chopper is if my airstrike killed more than I anticipated. The most air strikes in a row I've had was 4 and I might have to manually kill one or two in between to get the fifth kill.

What sucks the most is when you try repeatedly to call in that friggin chopper and can't. You'll go the whole round without getting another airstrike sometimes. Stuck with a chopper waiting to go up.

I usually do pretty good and Hamster has me pegged pretty accurately. I don't have routes though. I use the radar and act accordingly, but nothing planned before hand.....unless I just got killed by a camper.

I do the grenade spam thing, but I found that if I have nades while fighting I tend to use them at bad times....as someone comes around a corner. So If I don't have them then it is better for me.

I actually try to avoid helis in the first place. If I get and airstrike, sometimes I will just go and die so I can maybe get another in my next life, skipping the chopper. This is because I seem to suck at timing calling helis and have had near whole rounds where I have been stuck with a chopper.

You can't get a second airstrike unless you die. So what some do is time an airstrike so that they can run out and get hosed down and respawn right about the time the first bombs are dropping.

-Rand

Actually Rand you can. Happen to me last night. I called an airstrike. After it swept I recieved another. Maybe its a glitch, but it happens. Oh, I didn't die first.

[-Bar]

I usually start off with a set someone else created and then modify it to my suiting so that i'm not just copying someones set

I follow a pattern as well.... shoot kill reload shoot kill reload and put die in there a few times....

Actually that is a Glitch. I have had that happen too. It doesn't happen very often though.

[SUB_ZERO]

yeah happens to me occasionly, i've gotten 3 airstrike whilst dying before getting a chopper

[FieryDragon]

He's good and all but it's not like it's hard to counter! Mainly he just rushes in after someone died there...that means someone is reloading and quick kills them. But quick is an easy kill up close and personal...I have screenies with my shotty pumped into his face. I'll have to go look them up tonight or tomorrow.

Happens all the time... just depends on your timing. I get it daily.

[Rand{CLR}]

I have the other glitch far more often, the one where you get an airstrike, but it magically disappears before you can use it.

-Rand

Nope- not true.

I get the second airstrike quite often- you simply have to deploy the helo fast.

[Rand{CLR}]

Ok, this then: You're not SUPPOSED to get two airstrikes in a row unless you died somewhere along the way. If you do, it's a glitch. That work?

[androsbane]

nothing that improves my morale more than the very very rare killing of the quickster muhahaha.

-Rand

Out of curiosity, how do you know that? I mean you call it a glitch, but is it?
I cant find anything that says it is. Passing through obvious walls and getting on top of buildings that are obviously closed off is one thing.

This is entirely something else.

[Rand{CLR}]

Because the game clearly states that when you get five kills in a row, you get an airstrike. It doesn't say for EVERY five kills in a row you get a new airstrike. That, and the fact that 99% of the time you don't get a second airstrike without a death involved. Or at least, most of us don't. I don't know about you.

Or how about the times when I get 10, 15, 20, and 25 kill streaks but only have 1 airstrike in the mix to show for it? Under your argument, I should have 3 airstrikes if I get a 15 kill streak.

Multiple airstrikes without dying in between earning them is not something the designers intended to have happen. By definition, it makes it a glitch.

[SUB_ZERO]

+1 I think your completely right in this argument, i don't think it is intended.
