If it does exists sounds like the corp doing it is being very tight lipped about it, the only thing i know you can "boost" for sure still is nanohives and my guess they prolly somehow use the rally command to get more points from it but i have never seen squad commission from rally(not sure how you can get commission from simply moving to a spot on the map).

Anyway back to my point if a flood of nanohives are on the field and you start shooting you do indeed get team resupply points, but like rep tool and injectors there is a time delay on it so you cant get it indefintely without some "downtime"

There might be other exploits im overlooking but this is the only thing i can think of that would allow such behavior, i dont think you can get WP/commission on repping vehicles. maybe you can still get rep points from injuring yourself with nades or fall damage and getting repped but not sure.

Right but its also only for that 1 person getting points for assisting someone in reloading. So if 4 people dropped nano and then used ammo and ran through the hives all players would get +12 for each hive and squad leader would get an additinal +5 for each teammate that got +12. I assume this is what happened as it would take a while using this method to get enough WP for 1.5 OBS and they were gone for over half of the game.

Maybe the squad I was in also thought they might be using nano hives and firing their guns to get warpoints. It did take them a while to get the points since we didnt see them for over half of the game but still........ Yea i just mentioned that in the post above yours, the delay is something like 10-30s(not sure of exact downtime) before points can be reaccumulated, but that is to one player, so if all 4 in a squad are laying down hives then they could leach each other by emptying clips and standing in a hive from 1 player, when it gets used up which it will right away another player can then throw down theirs and i think this bypasses the delay. Of course im speculating but am happy to test this with anyone once server is back up, my ingame main is Gunner Nightingale

However we were doing our bit by killing people and hacking objectives and fragoing as much. My boy went 41-8 and I went 26-0 and the other 2 in our squad got some good kills too. Overall we had about 80 kills between all of us and thats not including hacking. 80 * 50 = 4000 WPs there itself. More than enough for 2 orbitals. Was the other corp doing something like this? No, re-read the OP they were just sitting in their redline for more than half the match to accumulate WP, my guess given a recent post he just made about their endgame results it was to stat pad, but they lost the match.

I mean IDGAF if i go super neg trying to get outta the redline but not everyone is like me and tries to win at the sake of destroying stats. Now if i get bonus WP for not being a lil b itch then its all good.

I am hoping and waiting for cloaking mods to come in. Then I will be sniping from the enemy red line You mean dying right?

I have plenty of experience with FPS and cloaking methodlogy. Played a lot of KZ2 and KZ3. Spent enough time on it know how to effectively use cloaking technology. So do i, i just meant that if you are in our redline you will die if you stay there too long, also wouldnt surprise me if you were automatically decloaked when you cross the redline, Its been a while since i killzoned it up but i think even bots at the base saw through cloak and disguise even at max level.
