I've looked around for this info and maybe I'm just not seeing it. I understand you get skill points for completing the single player wargames. I've done those reasonably well and gotten most of the points. Then I went online and got many points the first few hours, and less and less until now I get basically none.
I'm not a big fan of repeating things over and over, hoping to best my last best so I can get a very few more points. But is that what I'm looking at? Already campaigns are turning into a race for honor. Everyone wants a high score to maybe get some points. Can someone fill me in on the dynamics of this system? It sounds like the best way for a clan to boost up their players' permanent abilities is to all take turns going through the map set, each time through one guy being the one who makes all the honor and receives all the tokens. So that one guy gets all his skill points for campaign play. Then you all go through the whole set AGAIN with the next member being the golden boy. Is that about the size of it? As it stands a guy who goes into a regular room and tries to be a team player (not overly aggressive) doesn't come out at the top of the room and so you get no skill points. If I'm missing something, please correct me. --The last thing I want to do is hurt you. (But it's still on the list.) |

In my understanding, honor has nothing to do SP. I think if you make platinum you get 12 and that all you get in Wargames. Co-Op campaign is different. The most skill points I've received from a mission was completing it 8 players, all on green/white health, on professional. Through a reliable "grapevine" I've heard of a "mythic" 2000 HP and max SP, if you have something like 16 players, all secondary objectives, all green health, etc. However, I take all this here-say with a grain of salt, so to speak. I think most people are still trying to figure out the exact specifics.
I have to admit though, it is fun and rewarding for me to do it and highlights another reason why I love this game. Edit: I wanted to adress this: I rarely play with people who race to get honor. It is lame and if I happen upon these (competition between team members) games I leave, quick. Most of my experiences have been very positive. Everyone gives tokens to the person has the least honor... Unless they purposely screwed up etc. I am pretty sure the game rewards you for the team work if everyone does there part. I'm ranked kind of high in honor I guess (around 20 overall or so) but I don't play for ranking. I play for fun and I really haven't had to deal with that "selfish" style of gameplay on AA: TS. |

Do you (or any of your friends) show in your career stats that you have recieved any respect tokens? My friends and I have earned and given several among us, yet none of us has any showing in our career stats. I was also hoping this stat would be visible to others online figuring that would be a good way to gage what kind of player a person is rather than just looking at their rank, but the only place I've seen it is by checking my career stats. |

No mine and my buddies all show Zero and we have traded several. I think that stat is broken.. |
||||
|
Has anyone seen more than 12SP for a wargames mission? 12SP is the max I have gotten for completing them on Skilled. I am wondering if you may get more for completing them on Pro?? |

As for respect, mine still shows zero too and I have received 10 - 20 tokens at least.
12SP is the most I have received in a Wargames mission, it was on pro and I think that is the highest, so I don't think the difficulty matters. However, I only got 10 on most of them, so I have to still do those again and find all secondary objectives. My current total SP is 193 BTW. Also, to re-clarify what I meant about SP not having anything to do with honor: Completing a mission and receiving high SP gives you more honor, but having more honor from healing, etc. does not increase skill points. About that "mythic" 2000 honor points: I've talked to 2 unrelated people who claim they got it now. Supposedly every person on the team gets it if it is done right. On a side note, I noticed last night that the a couple people on the honor leaderboards jumped 40,000+ HP since the last time I checked (one day or so). I think "boosting" has arrived which is one reason why I will never attempt to really contend in that ranking... Maybe RSE/HV can do something to identify/regulate those who are cheating, it would be nice at least but I guess it doesn't matter that much. It is easy to determine who is legit or not. (I guess it is possible that somebody played offline for a long time and then connected - which could be why there was an extreme rise of stats overnight... but I doubt it) Of course, I would rather have the issue with lag/drops fixed over anything else. |

Interesting. I think all the times I recieved 12SP it said I had a Gold commendation. I don't think I have ever gotten a Platinum commendation on the wargames. this makes me wonder if more than 12SP is possible. |
||||
|
I am unsure, but wonder about it also. I was actually wondering if it is possible to even get 12 on some of them too, I swear I got a platinum on one of them and it only gave me 10. I've only gotten the platinum a couple times even though I played the Wargames a lot. |

I recieved 12SP on only one of the wargames missions. At this point I'm not planning to go back and redo them just to get the few extra SP. It was enough to get through them with no casualties to get the achievments done.
HMD, nice job on the 193 SP, I'm only up to 142 currently. Does anyone know the max for SP? I'd guess the number to be about 225-250. |
||||
|
I have heard 218sp is the max but I don't know for sure.

How do you get the Gold Skill Citation achievement? It says "Reach skilled level in all skills." Does that mean getting to level 4 on all 4 skills? If so, that means there are at least 288 skill points available (72x4).
|

Actually there are five skills: markmanship, fortitude, physical condition, medic, and valor. "Skilled" level is level 3, or 36 points. Professional is Level 4, or 72PS. Assuming there are at least enough SP to max three skills, that would put the max at 216 (72x5).
I hope the (remaining) SP are obtainable through online play and that I won't have to re-visit the wargame missions to get them. |
||||
|
So I guess there aren't enough skill points to get every skill up to level 4. I kind of like that since everyone will have at least a couple weaknesses
