This games multiplayer SUCKS!

I love the game but it kills me that games are not joinable and of course the idiots that crash when you tag them, now i know people dont do it on purpose all the time, but we all know it would be a lot different game if the kills got counted from people crashing.

back to games being joinable... its hard to tell if no1 is online or if everyone is currently in a mission either way ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME 505. Such a stupid add on to make this games multiplayer a 1,000 times better. MAKE THE GAMES JOINABLE.

Sometimes crashes do count as kills (I've had it happen on my death a few times) but I think there must be very strict rules governing what does and doesnt count as a crash-kill.

If you think about it its not as clear cut as saying when someone crashes the last person to shoot him gets the kill.

point taken... i have seen it a few times also, But the games not being joinable will ruin the online portion of the game.

It's a timer. Bail out or crash within a certain time of being hit and the person that did the damage will be awarded a kill. The problem is the timer is very short and if an aircraft takes longer than a few seconds to crash then it does not count as a kill.

They just need to take the timer off. If a plane crashes or the pilot bails the last person to have score hits on them should be awarded the kill.

I don't agree with that at all. I've crashed having a dogfight with one pilot where he should rightly get the kill (the pressure he was bringing to bear lead me to crash) and yet the last person to shoot me was maybe a minute ago and now in a totally different part of the map.

It really isn't that simple.

I agree, maybe a negative system if you crash? That way everyone who contributed to the kill gets the benefit of a higher ranking and it would discourage people crashing to avoid giving others a kill point.

I still think it would be easier to code and fair that hitting an enemy that then bails out or crashes = a kill. A negative score would discourage crashing or bailing out on a whim but does not address the problem of hitting someone, watching them spiral 8,000ft into the ground and getting nothing for it.

It would be impossible to award a kill for following someone without hitting them who then crashes. The kill should go to the person that hit the aircraft in the first place making it harder to fly which led to the enemy flying it into the ground.

It might be simplistic but it would be better than what happens now.
