    There's a reference to this in the known issues in the customer care section. They claim they are working on a solution.

    Only by not shooting the VIP... Shoot the others and it doesn't add to the total, at leastif your not the VIP.
    That's the only thing I can think of...

    My plan will ruin my KD, that's for sure.


    The plan is to shoot someone with each gun once, and then let them kill me. I can be able to see how many % of damage they have left. I'll have to do this multiple times, and make sure that they are not previously damaged. Perhaps I will average them out. I don't know how to do it with the launchers, shotguns and grenades though. This game doesn't have local where I can test stuff :(

    I'll also note out the retical size for each gun, recommended styles for each gun, maps suitable for each gun, pros and cons, recommended sets, etc.

    If I am going to do this, I'll need help with the shotgun and grenade launchers.

    ... I'm not so sure anymore :p

    I'd say to make class guides instead of gun guides. It'll be easier and way more useful.

    Heres a guide I made a while back on the controls and recon http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?p=3296961#post3296961

    You need to wait until they implement private or local wifi matches.

    Constants reconnects. 16 times on one level. I have a shield tablet. I can stream Netflix in 1080p, watch Hulu no problem but I can't keep a connection to play a game I paid for because the fools at Gameloft are worried about someone stealing their game. What about the people that paid. Had I stole it I guess I could have saved 7 bucks cause I can't play it either way. My internet connects at 2.4 and 5.0. No dice either way. I have bought countless Gameloft games through the years. I'm done with them if this is how they want to do things now.

    Annoyance of mine; people who don't play CTF to actually CTF and aren't good enough to hold on to the flag so the other team can't score.

    2-1 up in a match on rooftops, member father team grabs the flag makes it back to our flag but doesn't score, gets killed, other team recaptures the flag and grabs our flag and scores (i was the other side of the roof). I then go and get the flag and score and win the game.

    I understand people play CTF because there is no kill limit, I get that, but Rooftops is not the place to try and hold the flag and he kills if your not good enough.

    /rant

    @Ryan, is there any confirmation that winning a MP round is reflected in your score? I lost a match yesterday way with a score about 500 points higher than my MP score, but it went down. Also is there a time frame in which the scores count, for example joining a match on the losing side with 30 seconds left shouldn't impact your score as there is no way you could've impacted the game...

    Just thinking, if the last sniper has a full damage bar, and is one shot kill (someone can correct me but I presume I shot anywhere) then you can assume that a full damage bar = 100% health damage.
    If you then work out how full each damage bar is you should be able to work out what percentage damage each gun does, like wise with the attachments.
    The main problem with all this though is that there is probably a weighting towards headshots, for example a gun with 75% damage capability may cause 100% damage (ie a kill) if it's a headshot. Likewise body shots and limb shots will probably have less weighting.
    Also each gun may have a different scale, ie a handgun 100% damage bar may not equate to one shot kill (ie taking 100% damage) although I suspect they do...
    Then there's the Heavy class issue, in that they can take more damage...

    I guess you could assume that the damage bar is reflective of te amount of damage done on a body shot...
    Maybe a mixture of both approaches, work out what %ge damage a gun should do, then go in game and prove it.

    I won't have time until Tuesday next week, so I may har a look at this then, but feel free to try my theory out ;) (btw I don't care about KD so am happy to try it then :))

    I'm sorry as I'm sure this has been covered. Is it just me or is it like you are moving slow or like your under water? Turning around to face the other direction requires swipe(s). Movement just seems awful. I've leveled up in hopes it would improve but not really.

    Yes. I've turned sensitivity up to max and it's still too slow. Sensitivity was 30% as default when I first got on. Who actually plays at 30%? I got killed so much before I realized what was happening.

    Thanks for the help. I feel like maybe they didn't think this through because asking a player to get 12 kills in VIP mode is crazy, in my opinion, because those matches are over so quickly.

    I'm not sure if you saw my posts, but I had all of my data deleted recently and I have no idea why. I'm pretty sure it managed to happen during a game. I was leveling up my sniper (the last class I had left to level up) and had the tier 2 rifle. I think I put my phone down during a single player game. When I picked it back up I was level 2 and my most used weapon was the tier 2 rifle, but it, and all the other weapons I had unlocked, were locked. Is there a possible fix?

    This happens in MC4 too.

    Yeah they need to fix this. Movements are so awkward and sluggish.

    Lol that's sucks :)

    I play capture the flag but I hardly do the capturing, I play recon so I play midfield and kill anybody coming towards our flag and if they catch our flag, will also escort the guy with the flag back to our base

    Recon is a great class for CTF on the larger maps I have found, you can sneak around the long way (always works for me on Canals and Construction) I have switched back to assault atm, and it seems to be working well for me, that game I got all three 'captures' and ended with just under 4000 points :D
