Hooking up a Console MMO to a PC MMO for better or for worse, DUST style.

Alternatively, MAG sized battles for a Console (I realize that DUST does not do this, but this is an example of innovation in today's world).

Kill streaks are boring and irrelevent. You want a reward for killing lots of people in a row? Check the isk in your wallet.. thats all the reward you will ever need in New Eden not some bright colored text that pops up on the screen that helps you feel good about yourself. Nothing is free brother, so when you see a tank you dont think ooo that guy had a 7 kill.streak you think "that guy is a.tank pilot, he put time and.money into getting that and its going to feel great when i kill him!"

See? More.meaningful.

Sorry about the sloppy writing! Dont text and drive kids!

I'm just going to point out that this is a mixed arms game. Making a playstyle (vehicles for example) locked behind a completely unrelated playstyle (infantry pew-pew) would kill that. Why artificially limit strategies in an alternate reality MMO? It isn't arena based, it is one universe, one war.

A bounty system where the WP awarded for taking a person down increase with every kill they make would have merit though. So +63 for taking down the person after his 13th kill for example. Would go well with minor nods for headshots and other "skill kill" points.

Super powers for winning teams means economic warfare would be non-viable, since only the winning team is going to be able to call in the big guns. Simple NO!

Time for serious reply:

Killstreaks of any kind in Dust?

No.

Why should there be? What possible reason could an mmofps of this kind, expanding upon the EVE Online universe, have for killstreaks?

You want to reward people playing well but getting several kills without dying? Why? They are already rewarded by costing the enemy team a fair amount of isk, and dead mercs take longer to interfere with objectives. That's one of the primary rewards and metrics for success in EVE Online as well: draining the enemy's resources faster than they drain yours.

Why should a merc have to get a certain number of kills before his commander will agree to send down one of his tanks? He already bought it, but must meet an arbitrary requirement to land it? This makes no sense. Generals don't wait for their soldiers to start winning before sending in support.

What is the reasoning behind adding killstreaks besides "COD does it."? I think we need a stronger reason than that. Until we get one, killstreaks shouldn't be added.

In the interest of encouraging discussion, and not just shooting the idea down, does anyone have a good reason for adding killstreaks?

i dont want to post here but its 1:30 am and im so tired i dont care. what the genius said is true COD is the "gungame" but this IS THE "METAGAME"! nuff said i think.

he reads post *OP guys head explodes*


now ccp guy who reopened this thread what is the matter with you? before you locked it almost everyone disagreed with the OP and even after you did the majority still do. this topic doesnt need to be discussed further the majority of the community do not want KS. so relock or delete this thread its making me question my faith in you, dont do that please.

I highly doubt this, as you cannot create a account with the same name as someone else, so you are either a bad liar or have a poor password and give your email out.

the OP is entitled to his own opinion

slander how so, i thought OP made a valid point

REALLY THIS YOUR ARGUMENT

If you don't like an idea, just ignore it, people. Don't let it float to the top of the forums.

Ironic bump.
