Is there any information that details how this personal ordnance from kill streaks work?
My concern is that if someone is camping say with a DMR and get’s a kill streak they can further camp although now, with a sniper from an ordnance drop, and repeat.
Any words?
I hope that there will be a playlist were ordinance is removed
It will be in some but not all you’ll get to choose.
First of all its not from getting multiple kills in a row, its from getting medals, you could only get assists and still fill it up (As it is a circular bar thing on the side of your screen). Secondly personal ordinance isn’t in every game mode.
When you do “good” things, like get kills, assist, streaks even but not necessary), anything really, you get points. The better thing you do (aka HS, multikill) the more points you get. When you got enough points, you can call in an ordnance drop.
What’s offered in this drop (3 weapons/abilities/mixed) is dependant on map, not your preferences, same things are always offered on the same map at the same gamemode. If you die, you keep the points, death does not “rob” you of your reward.
The ordnance is always dropped close to the player, but enemies may steal it and if you order something really good (rocket etc) all players, even enemies, gets a heads up “incoming drop over there”.

At least you didn’t say they stole it from CoD. I doubt they even played Homefront, nobody else did…
All I know is if BTB has ordinance drops that playlist is going to be fun as hell

First off this has got to be the worst forum site I have ever experienced in 2 decades. Anyone else remember having to type in alt.fan.whateveryouwereinterestedin when you were on the net? This sites constantly crashing and having to have the tab re-opened or ages to open a page while I play a game or hit up every other site lightning fast while waiting on this one. If you type something out when it posts you have no text just what you quoted post. Lol what in the blue… you know what never mind back on topic.
As I originally wrote out but I’m just gonna shorten it, and copy it to make sure I don’t have to do this again, they didn’t steal it from COD, Homefront, and heck even the older tribes weren’t the first to have a system like this.
Popularity wans and hightens for features like this one and right now it looks like gamers like this sort of thing so everyone across the board is jumping on to it.

Why would I?
The system used in CoD rewards streaks and only streaks, while the system used in Halo is basicly the same as in Homefront only toned down to fit the small scale warfare of Halo. If you’d played the game, you would see that it’s the same.
Then again, gamers and more of often then not young ones these days know of nothing outside CoD, only knows the biggest AAA titles and practically think those games invented FPS gaming. Ignorance sure is a bliss ^^
Just for your information, Homefront sold over 2 000 000 copies and managed to head to head with Crysis 2, not to mention it still has a healty population and finding a good 32 player match with equally skilled teammates takes 5-10 seconds. Faster then any Halo game ever, and weapon balance is better then in any Halo game to date.
Not to mention that the sequel Homefront 2 is due in 2013, developed by Crytek, the same company who got their blam! whipped by the original Homefront, “if you can’t beat them, join them” it seems like Crytek though.

Third time typing this, lets go forum.
Anyway, I’m not going to sugar coat my response anymore, I looked up the Battle Points system in Homefront, and, if that’s what you’re referring too it is nothing like Halo’s ordinance system. In Homefront you can save them up to buy extremely powerful things, yes? Practically anything? In Halo’s you fill up a bar then get to pick between three different things. It honestly doesn’t really compare, you can’t stack up multiple ordinances like you can stack points in Homefront. Yes, you get something out of it and there is the term ‘points’ involved, that seems like the only two similarities.
personal ordinance effectively kills every Objective gametype so HOPEFULLY they’re only in Infinity Slayer.
