Competitive ACB Wanted, Playing with the pros (Xbox360) | Forums

Even though if everyone else is running its not difficult to get incogs. Some flanking and stealth is all it needs.

I can vouch for that, you sneaky bastard xDD

I'm being chased, running through a corridor in Castel, stun prompt shows up - Anandasama is disguised and poisons me as I run. ****, my thoughts were 'run, run, RUN.. stun prompt? huh?.. oh no, run back! run back! kill me! kill me!' lol xD Aww, I so wanted you to get intercepted for a 100 points

Are you saying OSB isn't an exploit, because it most certainly is.

[FreakyChuckles]

I never said you can't play stealthy with DP I'm saying that it rewards running from pursuers more.

ex·ploit

²    [ik-sploit] Show IPA
verb (used with object)1.to utilize, especially for profit; turn to practical account: toexploit a business opportunity.

2.to use selfishly for one's own ends: employers who exploittheir workers.





Using smoke bomb on offense is most certainly an exploit, even according to the dictionary. But you are exploiting an ability that is acting as intended. You aren't exploiting some sort of glitch or bug, using OSB is a means to an end. You want an easier focus bonus? OSB. That doesn't make it wrong.

People using Poison are exploiting it for the fact that it gives bonus points.
People using Sprint Boost are exploiting it for it's movement speed enhancing abilities.
People using Knives are exploiting the fact that knives knocks people off of buildings, and slows them down.
People exploit Disguise by giving them hidden bonuses and getting stuns/escapes/lures.
People exploit Firecrackers because it makes the enemy blind...


Do I need to go on?

I think that the only thing that is technically wrong with it is the short cooldown.
Honestly, smoke bomb has such a short range, you have to be very oblivious of your pursuer to allow them to get that close to you without throwing your own smoke first.
It's not more of an exploit than using poison on a target that is stuck in an animation, especially in Brotherhood.

I generally don't get mad at people who OSB in Wanted. Mostly because it hasn't happened in over 6 months which is when I had opponents who knew what B did. The majority of my rage comes from MH, where someone sprints at you, drops Smoke through your Mute and gets a nice 300 point kill, it makes me mad because it's a no effort way to get a point for your streak.

I thought this whole thread was about wanted....

In Manhunt, breaking a GOOD wall almost always requires a smoke bomb. I say almost always because it doesn't always. Good juking and firecrackers can bait the defenses smoke bombs, but most people aren't good enough at juking or don't bring firecrackers. Please let me know, in manhunt, how besides smoke you are going to beat out 4 people carrying defensive smoke and probably mute.

Using gun on one or two of them? >_>

EroticFishcakes used to run a gun in HKP 4v4 scrims. It's actually pretty effective. Much harder to defend against 4 people when you only have 3 people.

Yes that is exactly what I am saying and it most certainly is not.

Understand words before you go throwing them around.
