The few times I killed you, Maka (match leader), I only got 1 kill plus some bonus points.

I don't like the fact that the match leader is worth two kills on the final kill/death/score tally for individual players.

I started a thread a month ago or so just to figure out if it were worth two or not. Take the case of the screen shot from before, 41:20 kill:death is good, but I assume he was the match leader for most of that, so who knows how many of his 20 deaths were actually deaths. How is it fair that his kills were probably somewhere right around the 40 mark itself, yet someone else who might only have like 8 kills shown, might only have like 5 kills?

How can they not give us an accurate kill to death ratio for every player at the end of the rounds or game?

From what people seem to be saying, they get the credit for 2 kills, but the match leader only gets credited with a single death per.

Yeah, I can't say I've ever noticed getting extra deaths, and I've spent plenty of time as match leader.

Hmm...

Ok, so shooting down the match leader does score two kills to whomever it was who did that.

But, do we know if you get two deaths every time you get shot down as the match leader?

I thought so, but I might be wrong. Oh well, again we find something that is just stupid, and again I'm left wishing for more/better flight action games.

No matter how many times I tell myself I'm not going to just bash the game here, the game is like, "No Landon, come on, look at this. Isn't this the dumbest thing ever?"

haha Yeah. Lots of ridiculously handled things like this make HAWX kind of laughable.

I'm playing another game that has an insane amount of bugs, but at least with that one, it's not an issue of dumb planning. Also, at least they keep working on patches to fix things, change how game mechanics work according to suggestions on their official forum, have active communication back and forth with forumers often, and overall work to better their product and customer relations. As such, I still support that company and the game, bugs and all. Not so, here.

I've said it a million times before. If we want competent game development, we'll get it with Ace Combat. There are things I don't like about that series, but it's purely from a preferential standpoint. I can't say they make bad quality games in the least.



Edit: Four new videos up. They're actually from a couple months ago at least, but a couple of interesting ones (like 3 deflectors with only me killing; Joint Strikes only match; etc.).

I AM the top player. Except when I'm not.

Some of tonight's flying. I'll have some video's up. I joined half way through the first round and played the second. We won both, this is the tally. Rusty, yeah that's a lot of shot downs, but oh well.

Smoke, Ldogg

Nice job. The only issue I have with these screenshots is that we don't know how many rounds there were nor how long they were. I prefer single 10 minute rounds so that we all know exactly what we're dealing with. I mean, 54 kills in a 10 minute round would be outstanding, but I'm sure this wasn't that. If I have a 20-25 kills in ten minutes with only 5 deaths, then you know how to compare that to whatever anyone else's score is.

Edit: just saw the mention of two rounds. Still a pretty decent score. My next time playing will likely see me beyond rusty haha.

Thank you.

I was watching one of my videos, and I found myself reach for the controller next to me to turn on the tac map. LOL.

It doesn't show me taking a whole bunch of people out real quick like, but there are some sweet moves. I've noticed I ace almost every time between being shot down. The detail of flying is a lot harder to see on youtube than it is on my tv from the PS3 hard drive, I've noticed.

You can barely see it, but just as I'm about to eat a mult AA that a head on opponenet fired at me, I pull to where it is about 3 feet below me coming head on and flair just in time for it to whiz by.

Hawx doesn't interfere with porn, as discussed earlier, so my bandwidth is being stretched pretty thin right now. As soon as my videos are up, I'll link some.

Here is a video from tonight. I get a 9:5 kills:death ratio in about 4 minutes.

Then toward the end, I get bored and switch to off mode. I eat a multi AA immediately. Then I come back and get myself a 6 streak within 40 seconds, only to see it ended by all aspects. The thought of what could have been frustrated me, so I stopped recording.

Enjoy.

Well, you're a decent pilot.

But at least try using your cannons sometimes, that is really what distinguishes great pilots from the rest.

Well, it was fun. Man, was I rusty. It's too bad you don't have a mic, but then again, voice chat in HAWX keeps cutting out. Same as always. Anyway, we should do it again sometime, assuming it doesn't get too laggy as it did after you left.

Thanks makas, cannons, yeah I do need a little more practice with them. If we have cannon upgrade on, I can use the cannons fairly well, but without the upgrade, I just don't use them enough.

I did have fun, I'm always ready to have fun, so whenever.

I can definitely tell by how many more times I got shot down compared to my usual shot down number that I've spent a lot of my Hawx time against pilots with very little skill.
