I want to know why every time I kill over 60 enemies on Ranked Play the game doesn't give me my battle marks but if I don't do well on a round it never fails to take one from me. This has happened 3 times.
Hey leaveit2God. Welcome tot the forum. You get battle marks relative to how well other players do as well. If you get 60 and they get similar or more you loose.
That whole battlemarks ranked play has always been hit and miss with me. I'm glad there were no challenges related to ranked play.
They needed an extension of the regen system I thought, or an option to reset your stats and start again. They did that on BO2, it was a brilliant idea.
I agree but for one point. It is not that it gets too hard (I mean it is hard but in a different way). I just do not want to sacrifice my fun playing style for the cautious and dastardly playing tactics you have to do to get to those higher levels.
As someone said about these the other day, as weird as they are I think they are a reasonable indication of how well you play. I have always, apart from when they first started, been around platinum level 2 and really never get above that. So, if platinum 2 is an indication of how well I play then I guess they work. I rarely see anyone in diamond, but when I do, they almost always dominate me, so in that case they are not a bad indication.
Yipee!!! That means that I am a low level Gold ranked player that is secure in the fact that a Diamond ranking for me is totally out of reach, and merely thinking of being Platinum would cause instantaneous spontaneous combustion of my Xbox. Good thing I'm comfortable in my own skin of mediocrity.
My hat is off to You. If you excel by staying at the platinum level while maintaining the fun quotient you are a better man than me. I like the rank system even though it is random. I leave it on all the time now even when I am doing all the challenges. I had never used he Hammond pistol so had lots of challanges on it. I went through most of them last night using only the pistol for the whole night. I went down a whole rank level due to my getting killed so much despite being 1 or 2 lots of times on the board. I guess this is the careless impatient play that I love that keeps me no higher than gold. It seems that at he platinum level you just cannot be killed much. That is really hard for me when you love to be careless eg rodeo-ing way too long. But I am sure there are still many skills for me to learn.
@A4eaTransformer... I've been carrying around that Hammond for months trying to complete the weapon challenge (I need 15 more pilot kills), it's the last challenge for me. As far as you having a careless impatient style of play is I'm sure no worse than my reckless abandon I just sometimes can't resist reverting to... secretly when I play recklessly is when I sometimes have the most fun.
I am about two thirds the way through the Hammond Challanges. Once I got into it it was not so bad. It was a good night's work considering I started from scratch. One more night and I should be done. I always threw away the Hammond burn cards but they are awesome. It turns the Hammond into an auto pistol which is my default. But it is more lethal than the auto pistol. I will not be throwing them away anymore. If you are having probs with the challange load up on those cards.
@Sgt_rawk... I'm in total awe. To maintain that level of play (to me) is astonishing... also having you on my friends list saves what scarce shred of dignity my K/D has left.
As I have said before I pick my competition mostly. I play early weekend mornings, lots of people lacking thumbs...ha!
I was having problems at gold level, but there is a trick. It has proven successful everytime. YOU CANNOT DIE. PERIOD. Win or lose. Stay away from the battle pick off 1 or 2 pilots, kill the grunts, spectors and picking up attrition points slowly. hAck as many spectors as you can. (All of them if possible) it will tell you soon that you've achieved your ranking go on if you look in your bottom left hand corner you will notice if you have a little sliver of green coming around your ranking chip, GO HIDE!! at the end of the match you will receive three quarters of a battle mark. -it's slow going cheap as hell but the gold Tier is a lot different. ( it's possible that each tier has a very specific objective). Try it. Lemme know.
Something like that happened to me, I spawned in mid game and sorta hung back, got about 3 pilot kills, 20 or minions and a titan kill and didn't die, got all four segments...
Lol....now,if you sit inactive, they slowly decrease. You MUST be engaging in battle...hardcore points REALLY fast..and keep the pace the entire match. When the match ends usually yourRank marks down bottom or so just deplete and you'll get 2.
