My friend in my squad said I had an Orbital Strike, great! That's great! Except.. wait what? I had to re-spawn to use it? Well wouldn't you know.... the second I spawned the match ENDED. GAH I was furious! I so wanted to lay down some heat!
My team actually beat the enemy team in a match of skirmish for once! We won and I got an Orbital Strike but couldn't use it!
But why must they hand out Orbital Strikes near the end of a match? the minute we get one, we have to die and wait ten seconds and then the match ends! Kind of waste on their part don't you think? I assume that the minute we get one we should be able to use it instantly.
Also when I went to target some objectives, it wouldn't let me (such as defend and attack) because my cursor had to be hovering over it. Well I can't exactly pinpoint it if some rocks are covering it (Plateaus map)...
What we should do is make it so you can do this on the overhead map. Which at the moment can only use the Rally command.
Have any of you been able to launch an orbital strike? Do you usually get one right before a match is about to end? |

My friend notified me that I had it, I hit right on the DPAD but it wasn't there, the instant I spawned it said I had it and then the match ended just like that. |

The dark cloud wrote:i think it depends on how many points your squad actually makes. Setting fragos contribute to that aswell and helps your team earning SP. Example: on ambush you call in a LAV hide it in a good corner where it doesnt get blown up, set a defend frago on it and every 1 in your squad around it gets more points and the squad leader gets points aswell. Like for a revive you get 90 points instead of 60, for a kill 120 instead of 60. And for team resupply with nano hives you get 25 instead of 10. And you get by that orbital strikes much faster.
what's a "Fragos"? |

Thanks guys for for the insightful responses. Playing with a squad does help a lot. I was playing with one other person, and yes, they were one my squad when they notified me. Silly me though, I was standing still and and enemy lobbed a grenade at me, but in the moment, no there was no Orbital Strike, but then again, I don't seem to have got the message before I died. When I spawned the message popped up. This was in a Skirmish map and I think I just went around healing everyone with the repair tool... no I think that was in Ambush.. not too sure because now I'm doing a lot of team objectives now and I'm mixing the matches up in my head.
Well anyways, I'm doing a lot more with the Highlighting tool, I just wish I could highlight the letters from behind a rock or highlight a command on the overhead map. |
