That is bullshit. I got kicked from a server because I was driving an apc and when it got hit My score went down by 60. Take this **** out its annoying as hell.

Yeah like one time I was flying an F-16 and out nowhere I hear BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP and I am hit by a missile from the FRONT (probably my wingman flying below 500 feet and "evading" enemy fire, which made me the next best target). My Jet didn't even explode! It just hit me in the cockpit and I died! All of a sudden I was kicked for having a negative score. Theres already a long spawn time; no need to add insult to injury. Of course by the time my temp-ban was up my slot was gone. I just quit PR when that happens now; I'm too pissed to play as a team at that point.

It is up to server admins to remove the negative score kicker if they so choose. Many servers don't want people wasting assets which brings everyone else's experience down.

Yeah, I remember on Kashan I had a score WELL into the negitives because I kept getting killed in the MEC fighter (Twice by base-rape, another by team n00b).

Receiving a negative score for blowing up destroyed friendly vehicles is also very annoying.

Getting negative points for using bikes as bombs pisses me off quite a bit... I killed around six enemy APC's and ended the round with approximately 50 points.

seriously. IRL, if you crash a plane they will determine whether or not it was intentional, and you will face the consequences. (good or bad)
you don't pay for the plane in brownie points.
if you TK someone with a plane, then yes, you should get a helluva long respawn time (paperwork or something)
but otherwise its m00t
if you are on recon and a towelhead with a bike bomb blows your humvee up, you don't pay for it. (in brownie points)

if you are sucking, youll get negative points, if your REALLY sucking (and getting your highly valued assets killed) youll get kicked..

I dont see a problem here...

If you suck and get shot down, let someone else take over and support the troops on the ground. After youve accumulated some points on the ground (healing, giving ammo, capturing points, repairing, etc) then try again with a valuable asset....

i was talking about when you are an insurgent and you try to carbomb someone. you lose almost as many points as you gain.

and were not just talking about sucking and getting shot down

were talking about accidents that happen ingame, like people TKing YOU, and YOU losing points.

believe me, it happens A LOT.

needs to be fixed.

Worse than (-) points for losing a vehicle is shooting a vehicle that is already destroyed. Why in the world should i get the message "vehicle team damage" when trying to clear the smoldering, twisted heap of metal that used to be a tank?

Eh...well baserape is my main issue

I hate it when I'm just a passenger in a light transport and when it gets blown up by the enemy I get negative points... Now that's just annoying...

DEVS U NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PPL R COMPLAINING THX

Nah not really, things are fine the way they are.

MajorPwnag3 · Post by **MajorPwnag3** » 2007-08-04 00:19

I don't have much to add to the argument, but I definitely hate it when I get negative points for destroying a tank wreck that's blocking my path. If this is removed, I would be a happy camper.

I'm bothered by this penalty, and also by the suicide penalty. The long spawn time is punishment enough, there shouldn't be a point reduction for either of these activities, at least for insurgents. Today I was playing in a V.B.I.E.D. squad on Al Basrah. I was attacking British vehicles using Insurgent bomb cars and bikes with C4 attached to the front. I took out several APCs, and quite a few Land Rovers, and ended the round with 11 kills and 10 deaths, but only 1 point. Yes, ONE point. I didn't teamkill any teammates the entire round, either, the only penalties were from my suicides and the vehicles I destroyed in those suicides. I find it somewhat ridiculous that a faction that praises its martyrs as much as it does (as barbaric and sickening as it is) would be punished for carrying out these acts. It needs to be tweaked, at the least.

My problem with this logic is that when you dont "suck" your points dont go up high enough but when you do "suck" you get negative points up the ***.

I was playing kashan desert in a MIG29 and i went up in the air and killed a F16 and a A10 then i flew around and killed 2 infantry only to get hit by a linebacker and i died and lost points which basically put me in the negatives after all of that good killing and what i call not "sucking" and thats not fair. I SAY REMOVE IT!
