heres some maps of some maps if any of yall could use them...








i dont think ive EVER played this map:

Jonesi

Ok, you seem to have the links to find the info.. So the question is What are the bonus objectives...? I always check my stats hoping someday I'll run into it somehow but never seem to find anything..

soopa

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm bonus objectives would be shit like breaching the perimeter, blowing the wall in desert glory... pretty much any action that isnt a KILL or the PRIMARY objective (escort, demolition, etc)

soopa

the tower in sandstorm.... bonus objective..... the anti aircraft gun in sandstorm..... bonus......

soopa

oh but EVERY WALL isnt a bonus. the walls are bonus on breach.... but on maps like.... i dunno... Vigilance... you dont get bonus objectives for blowing gates

soopa

and on SUJO, only the INSIDE walls are bonus... the outside walls/gates arent.

Jonesi

I'll have to check but I've done a few of them and don't think it shows on my stats..

soopa

shows on mine.....

soopa

another bonus would be KILLING someone with an Airstrike.

soopa

AH....

There is a bug in the ranking system that makes it so it will only show your bonus objectives from the last map you played.

Jonesi

You da man...! That explains it... Do you have or have found a list that breaks down how the ranking system works ?

soopa

iive found a thousand `official rank guide` shits.

but really i think most are fairly clueless...


the best theory i have is that the biggest factor is the rank of people you play against... as i said earlier.

ive been sticking to that mantra for several days now and look where it got me.......

Jonesi

Other then playing against HSS and stealing our wings.. The "cookie" covers such a wide range of ranks that it's hard to determine who you are playing against..

soopa

yes thats true, but the odds are most cookies are decent players...

none of us are extraordinary..... so anyone who is decent is a worthy matchup


its real simple,


here is the typical game

HSS:
eagle
eagle
cookie
cookie
cookie
cookie
cookie
cookie

VS

random+acl:
eagle
cookie
doublebar
doublebar
doublebar
bar
bar
bar

soopa

hardly a fair match up no?


if you ARE in a game with shitty players... than just make sure you sweep them..... i mean... YOUR WHOLE TEAM.


if you get killed by a shitty player your rank drops far more than it rises from killing them

soopa

heres my official take on the rank system. heh

soopa

ok we gotta get off this page those damn map images take too long to load

soopa

whore it up

soopa

christ...

i gotta get better with grenades.

i was practicing alot last night.... did pretty good on those blizzard maps we played

soopa

you guys were on late last night too. ted/ferizzo/silver you guys all west coast?

what time berner bounce... 2?


i didnt get to bed till like 3:30

soopa

this was in someones sig on another board




worst sig ever?

Jonesi

Come on now.. Ur going a little xtreme on that one.. Kinda funny though.. I know HSS needs to focus alot alot more on teamwork when playing b/c everyone is out doing they're own thing and now that I think about it, it may also be me doing it..

Berner

yeah i got off around 2ish. now that im not working til the 30th, i wake up and play this focking game all damn day. ive been on since 10 this morning

Jonesi

Those images are killin this, where's the next page ?

Jonesi

Berner

jonesi, i am just catching up to how you used to be

Jonesi

Yea, I'm not as bad as I used to be on Socom I...

You having the dreams again yet ?

Berner

i wish man. they were sweet as hell. creaping around sniping people but in what seemed to be a real situation. ill just keep playing and hope they come back.

soopa

i dont think its so extreme. maybe add another cookie to the mix at most...

if it wasnt so extreme your rank would be improving! lol


and yea you guys dont do shit for teamwork. actually... smitty is pretty good with working as a team.

whenever him and i play on escort maps together we seem to do decent...

soopa

everytime ive been up past 4am playing... i have socom dreams. lol

Jonesi

Yea, Socom dreams are crazy...!

When it's me, smitty and couple of the other regulars we do ok but when other people get in it throws are whole plan off...!

I've whored this thread enough, I'm going to post less...!

soopa

you guys always do ok. together your all pretty good... just not in the way that improves your rank. behehe

Jonesi

Prob b/c we're always playing against you guys..!

soopa

its because you refuse to even teams up.

on average its 4 a-cl people at most, usually me, ted, & silver... sometimes berner and ferizzo.

me and silver are the only ones with good ranks..... not saying the rest of them arent good... but their ranks arent there yet.


so you get 2 good ranks, 2 mid range ranks, and then luck of the draw with whoever comes in the game..... it tends to be ensigns and shit.

so it gives us a huge scoring handicap...


all you guys would have to do is mix the teams up. its always `i dont wanna bring your rank down` to each other...... meanwhile doing what your doing is doing exactly that. lol

soopa

anyway i think i made my point with the ranking system.


shit i think my 9000 made its point!


isnt it interesting how much my score jumped as soon as i stopped worrying about being on the SAME SIDE as you guys? lol


whatever. i like playin with the ACL guys... we play well as a team. i always have back up...

im rarely ALONE with the satchel when other ACL guys are on...


had a TON of fun last night when we were playing Desert Glory and Blizzard. lot of teamwork involved was great

Jonesi

Hate to say it but

Jonesi

Seems true, I don't think it's just a odd coincidence.. Or maybe it's that you playing against our team all the time has increased your level of play....?

soopa

it isnt a odd coincidence. its because everything ive stated is true... thats the way it works... and thats why i have a steadily improving score
