Can agree. I spent a solid minute revive-killing Funkmon during a Tanniks nightfall. Couldn't stop laughing.

In other revive-killing news....

Timing is everything.

We've all revived someone near a ledge, only to have them materialize out there in thin air and fall to their (next) death.

Spent the whole game trying to snipe from there. Definitely not thinking with portals.

Speaking of which... If I'm gonna die does it make sense to jump off a cliff and take my crest with me? Does that actually deny the enemy that point?

I want to say that the game spawns your crest wherever it would spawn your ghost. Which means jumping off would create the crest near the cliff.

From what I've seen it will spawn your crest on the cliff next to you, but if you can manage to have an enemy kill you AS you fall off a cliff it will be irretrievable.

It is a really interesting change to the dynamic of standard TDM. Most of my regular group sort of flips ranking. Those of us who normally top in other game types seem to float lower and those who normally get carried seem to be doing better by targetting crests instead.

I will say compared to Kill Confirmed I am very happy that crests exhibit physics impulses. Except that one map. You know the one.

I find I've done better all around in this game mode, tho' maybe it's just because it's new & we've been getting ranked against people around my level instead of above.

One game from last night I was at the bottom of the escalators on some map (last exit?) and one of our teammate's crests rolled down it and I picked it up, I then proceeded to engage the opposing team from the escalator killed one on top & had their crest roll down to me. I love the physics on crests!

Which is also fun in its own completely different way.

I've noticed several times last night were a bit of lag on the other team would prevent you from picking up a crest even though you walked over it. There was one team I faced that seemed to be able to do this on purpose, if you killed their red bars you couldn't pick up the crest before they rez'ed and came back for another go. After a minute of that we left the lobby.

This style of game also really helps those players who are not so good, but can stick together and follow a plan. The low K/D players can pick up crests and bait the other team, which is something my brother does quite well in CoD where we play this game mode almost exclusively.

Might switch away from my "damn the torpedos, ramming speed!" juggernaut Titan and switch to an AOE Sunbreaker or something. My Striker build is great for killing a small number of entrenched / sniping enemies... but kinda sucks if not dying behind enemy lines is the name of the game like in Supremacy.
