Downed Fire lets you shoot even when you're Incapacitated, but only with your backup weapon, and only after an initial delay. You will have almost no Health while Incapacitated, making it easy for enemies to finish you, so it's less likely that a Medic will be able to revive you.
.

I'm surprised downed fire is rank 5, that means it will be a long time before we start seeing enemies shooting at you from their death bed :ahhh:

Well they had it be level five because they know ALOT of people will want to use it.

Don't make CoD comparisons, please. There's enough of that sort of ignorance on YouTube as it is. And frankly I was never annoyed by it in CoD either, aside from people refusing to revive me when I used it.

It's a balanced and fair ability, especially when you consider that you can only have one rank 5 ability per character.

i said "like" not the same lol but last stand/second chance was the only thing i could think of to compare it too :confused:

...is second chance even the right name for it???

i keep hearing this, do you have a source? not that i dont believe you, just never read it anywhere myself

with every pic ive seen of the abilities ive never seen one with more the one 5 star ability, so it a strong possibility

» Fri Dec 24, 2010 10:15 pm

yeah that just means its among the strongest tier, not that it is only possible to have one of them

My last post was more of a warning than anything. Have you read the comments under some of the Brink trailers from Machinima? It's a veritable ****-storm of CoD-ness.

And yes, Second Chance is the right name for it. It was called Last Stand in MW2, but you couldn't be revived in that game. And, oddly enough, I saw a ton of people drop into Last Stand even though they didn't have that perk or deathstreak on......

EDIT: You have to be rank 5 to purchase rank 5 abilities, and you hit rank 5 at level 20, which is the level cap. Which means that you can only buy one rank 5 ability. Unless they changed it since announcing the ranks, which I suppose is possible.

Some of the people may have decided they like the lower tier abilities too. Just by having all tier 5 abilities wouldn't mean you had the best loudout for yourself

No, there is a Perk named "Second Chance", which does only allow you to use your secondary (and equipment on Pro) and you bleed out while in it.
And there is a deathstreak named "Last Stand" which allows you to use all your weapons and you will get up after a while.

i guess i missed the ranking system, i thought the 20 lvls were divided into 5 equal things of 4, my bad i guess

Not unless you saved some Level Credits, but I doubt anyone would do that.

I'm not even sure if you can do that, although I suppose it could be possible.

Probably it works like in Homefront, where you could buy two high cost abilities but thus no low price ones.

the only time that last stand in COD was when i shot someone with my sniper rifle, they went down. then my teammate killed them and got the credit for it.

It has it's problems in CoD and hopefully SD is aware of those issues and does what they can to avoid them. For example, when you drop a guy into LS he auto aims at the guy who dropped him and can fire immediately as he drops into it (instead of actually taking time to weapon switch). If you have to activate it and then aim, then it shouldn't be a problem.

I would if I could.

Um seeing as rank 5 opens at lvl 17 i think you can get more then 1 guys just saying

That is for match making level.

R1: lvl 0-4
R2: lvl 5-9
R3: lvl 10-14
R4: lvl 15-19
R5: lvl 20

Are ability ranks.

Idk I would use downed fire. You can shoot but you die quicker not a good tradeoff.

That would make no sense, Lvl 0 because you would have 0 ability credits so why would it start at Lvl 0 then have 1 rank with only one Level

just trying to understand is all not meant as any insult

» Sat Dec 25, 2010 8:15 am

Whatever. It seems like a waste of a perfectly good ability slot. Not too much killing is gonna get done with Downed Fire.

Well I was copying it off the SD interview but its true 1-4 makes more sense.

Indeed.

Yea but how can to serve out some Teabags if people can shoot when they are downed :whistling: . Don't act like none of you do it.There are players out there who def call for a nice squat on there face :thumbsup:
