Prestige points

[GrizzlyBear]

I'm still warming up to this game nd have a question about the MP prestige points.
It seems to me that great players will get loads of points, better weapons, vehicles, etc and basically rule the maps.
Noobs and less-proficient players are likely to get killed before they can accumulate points and you could end up with pistols v tanks all day long.
Am I off base?
Anyone beta test and see anything like that?

i am sort of getting that perception playing MP last few days th instant action is fine but the power struggle is dam hard when all you can get is 1 - 2 kills

If you get a kill on someone with really high points, you earn more. I found that out accidentally. Also, one punch with strength mode kills everyone. To start, try getting inside a building with another person then punch the crap outta whoever comes in.

I'm still trying to work it all out. but your view is my experience so far...

Sounds like a night out on the town in Darwin.

I've found that if you are low on points go cap some points, they are an easy 100 points. Or you can wait around at a war factory and ride gunner for someone with a tank.

Another thing, you have a one hit kill in the suit strength plus fists, great for capping spawn points. If a bad guy spawns, *bang*, no more bad guy!

Yep, someone did that to me the other night.
Must have been Omen practicing his new punch skills since they took his knife away

I also noted that the higher rank you hold, the more points you spawn with.

Also, I was playing last night on a "ranked" server but when it was over, everyone re-spawned as a private?

I found a post on InCrysis.com Crysis Multiplayer - Crysis - inCrysis Wiki that indicates:
There will not be persistent stats or ranked servers for Crysis. The prestige points and rank earned in a round will be reset in the next round.
Well that just stinks!

Yeah I have the same complaint Grizzy...

I'm an average player who plays a few times a week so I'm always stuck on the lowly ranks and as a result never have driven a tank, vtol or any decent weapon in MP as I can't afford one!

I can see reasons why they'd choose not to persist the rank but it also restricts quite a few players... particularly when the server goes bye bye and you have to start again (thats when I go to bed)
