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..

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)

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.

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.......

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..

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

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

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...

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

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

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....?
