    this throws up a good point.

    Q: How many of ye who got nukes did so with the assistance of their team (and I don't mean boosting) - what I do mean in a team game? Honest answers only..

    I got mine in random TDM lobbies (either MTDM or TDME, I don't recall) without the benefit of a party.

    check my first post .......thats how you get a nuke . If you are worth a toss at all you can get 7 kills in a row .......look at youtube vids and just keep trying over and over , then you'll get one


    Its different strokes for different folks , not everyone has the same playing style or weapon and perks when getting a nuke .
    I'm assuming when he made this thread he was looking for idea's , there is no right/wrong way in getting one.
    I got one with the first recon class but i wouldnt recommend it and i'd be the first to hold my hand up and say i got lucky with it.

    are we supposed to guess what is playing style is though ? what his favorite weapons are ? How can you give him tips if he gives you no info . I simple gave him a set-up in my oppinon that could be used on any map to get a nuke :confused:

    I wasnt slating anyones gameplay ........I was telling shaw you don't need danger close to get a nuke theres other perks that I think are just better all round .

    That's the whole point of tips though isn't it? As in plural. We don't know what his style is, so different methods can be used to get the same end...

    I wouldn't imagine Danger Close alone is the best bet, but linked with OMA it seems like a useful alternative. I've come close to 25 kill MLN & Tac knife on Derail, but without the nuke on. Best for that map? Who knows. I like it because of the cover. But if I'd have had Danger Close on instead of Lightweight, might I have gotten more kills? Worth some testing I think.

    Fair enough, but can I ask you were they on FFA then?

    As I guess it could be argued that if it was an objective based game, such as domination, if you did not contribute to capturing/protecting the flags, then you were getting assistance from your teammates insofar as they were helping your game by ensuring the other side's attention was focused on the objectives...

    The first one I got was on a TDM game on Highrise, the others were all FFA on Wasteland, I dunno why just find it the easiest to get them on that. I might try for one later actually, this thread has me in the mood :) Where i was talking about the ac-130 thing I usually have 5/7/11 as my killstreaks, went 33-1 on wasteland just yesterday in a tdm doing that.

    My best killstreak is still 35 from that map. :D If it works for you, you can rip them apart.

    And the funny thing is I used to hate Wasteland, and in truly despise it, when I first started playing, because I sucked at sniping and used to go into the bunker, aside from the times when I spawn in there cos my team is there I honestly couldnt tell you the last time I purposely ran in there, its just suicide, stay around the edges and pick people off is the best way/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,686 ✭✭✭Kersmash


    Yeah, Wasteland is great for racking up killstreaks. I got my longest killstreak there, 33.

    I did it! Flavela. Absolutely chuffed. Almost went back to back on vacant. Got 23-0 in the second one. I guess once you get over the jitters you're all good :)

    Set Up was:

    Ump Silenced
    Spas Grip

    Marathon Pro
    Stopping Power Pro
    Last Stand Pro (completing the challenge)

    Frag
    Flash x 2

    Its a TEAM game , considering your in a "clan" i would have thought you would know something about teamwork ;) , i'm assuming ye have different strats for different gamodes e.g Ctf , a runner, support runner and maybe 2 support a/r's.

    :) I played cs/css at a decent competitive level for 7 or 8 years m8, i know what team work is. what i meant was... its basically taking something that is quite hard for alot of people to get, and making it ALOT easier. I guess its abit of a change from the normal "strats". I personally pref getting nukes (I only went for them on my first prestige) by myself and suprising my team when we are just about to lose with the most anoying sound in the world !!

    Thank **** they're taking them out in blackop's tho.

    Well done - I'm destined not to get one so I don't try.

    What were your killstreaks?

    Now that you've done it, and won't be suffering from jitters, have a try with the OMA class and see what you think. Any different? I'd be interested to get your opinion, since you've just gotten your first with a "normal" class.

    Nice, hard map to get one in as its so confined in places and theres a lot of cover for people to get into when the air support is doing its thing

    What were your killstreaks?

    Killstreak set up was Harriers, AC130 and Nuke. I spawn trapped them at the car park at the top of the map. First round I let out got me 4 kills. I knew it was on then :)

    I've set up 2 classes with OMA to give that Hardline/Danger Close Pro one a go. I'll be on tonight and will report back with more details.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,732 ✭✭✭Magill


    So yeah... just put the nuke on for a laugh, first game, groundwar TDM, 25-0 :D


    Got it recorded aswel, will upload it later.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,071 ✭✭✭MarkY91


    when i decide to use the nuke as a killstreak i allways use harriers, chopper, nuke........once i get harriers i carefully plant it to get 1+ kill with the airstrike then laylow until my harriers gets me to 11 then (depending on the map) its pretty simple to get to 25 kills to be honest..

    i think its ridicilous how kills with your killstreaks count towards your killstreaks it should only be your weapon + equipment that can get you a killstreak, would make the game better and harder for boosters, also the nuke should never have been put in the game...rant over felt good to finaly get it off my chest:o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,739 ✭✭✭Stuxnet


    got my first nuke last night blocked at 4 in the morning, been playing since the day it came out and only managed to do it **** faced,

    gutted got no emblem,

    Sort of agree. The amount of times a harrier comes in and then a pavelow straight away afterwards is unbelievable. Thank god care packages don't count!
