I just did something I did not even know was possible in-game...I got a headshot with a predator missile. Anyone else ever seen this?

I've seen that...it's like getting a headshot from a nubetube.

 

[Kabob]

I've gotten a few noobtube headshots, hitting a moving target in the head with a missile is tough though! I certainly didn't do it on purpose.

 

[bdubyah]

Yeah, I've had a few friends do it before.

Best one was my buddy getting a headshot with a javelin.

 

[Kabob]

Completely randomly got the challenge for killing an enemy with a care package...I threw one down and waited for it to drop, guy ran to kill me and it hit him (first time I've done it!).

I thought Double XP was supposed to end on Monday, I'm still getting it. No complaints...just saying!

 

[TheStuck]

Probably just said screw it about turning off the double Xp for Tuesday and Wednesday and then having to turn it back on for the new maps.

 

[Kabob]

Apparently they twittered yesterday saying they were going to do it all week.

 

[chedrz]

I just Googled it. Double XP is up through June 7.

I've been trying the silenced UMP build and have been having a ton of fun. I end up getting more knife kills than UMP ones actually, because I'm always running and don't have time to bring up my gun :s. I was in the big(gest) house on overgrown and got a 7 kill streak with my knife

Dumb question, but does double XP apply to ALL XP (including challenges, match bonuses, etc), or just kills?

 

[Kabob]

As far as I know it applies to kills and destroying killstreaks. It also may apply to multikill bonuses but I'm not sure. It doesn't apply to challenges, game bonuses, longshot bonuses, and headshot bonuses AFAIK.

It also applies to objective gametypes, i.e. capturing points, destroying/defending bomb sites, capping flags, etc.

I got 20k XP in one CTF game.

True dat, although I rarely play those gametypes so I never remember that...

 

[Kabob]

Had my best round ever last night on Derailed:

 

[dougp]

Sry I took off yesterday Kabob, I got sick of getting wtfpwned on Ground War - I really hated the damn map we got stuck on twice

 

[Kabob]

Actually, we only played one or two games of Ground War, after that we switched back to TDM. I'm not a big fan of GW either but I don't mind playing to get a bigger group going. Sacrifices it is.

 

[chedrz]

The game update for the Resurgence Map Pack is live, but the map pack itself hasn't been rolled out yet (at least not here). The playlists are up.

 

[Kabob]

Yeah, they added a "Download Content" option to the main multiplayer menu...I have no clue why...they're releasing one map pack and that's it I thought, do I really need to go through the game to buy avatar crap?

 

[Queasy]

Last I heard, it is supposed to be around noon EST for the map pack.

Sounds like they've got their ducks in a row.

It doesn't count towards bonuses for headshots, longshots and multikills. Also the match bonus is still normal.

Should count towards everything else though. I did get 600XP for shooting down a harrier.


Also, Had a few matches yesterday, ended up with 27000-29000 Xp per match. Gotta love double XP.

 

[Kabob]

Wow, I've never gotten anything close to that, even when double stacking prestige challenges.

Nice. The best I've ever had was a 36000+ XP Team Deathmatch round. I've had a pair of those. Since double XP went live, I've probably had about 10 games over 20000 XP.

 

[Kabob]

How the heck are you hitting those scores? Even my 43 kill game...that's:

200x43 - Kills
200x2 - Predator
300x2 - Harrier
400x2 - Pave Low (it is 400, right?)
50x2 - Multikills (just guessing)
1500 - Match bonus (lvl 27...just guessing)
-----------
So I'm guessing around 12000 points total, and that was a freak of nature game for me, not sure how you guys are doubling and tripling that.

 

[Beev]

It's pretty unlikely you only got 200xp for each kill. There's headshots, teammate saving, avenging, etc. that add more. Still doesn't make up the difference though.

I don't think I've ever broken 5k

 

[Kabob]

True, but at 50 points a pop even if I did that for half of my kills (which would be a VERY high estimate) that'd only be another 1000 points.
