Psycho! Skill kill.

Post » Thu Jul 22, 2010 3:36 pm

How am i supposed to get this?
Laser strike doesn't count for it, and to get it otherwise
is only possible with extreme luck.

Please enlighten me, how do i get a multikill of 5 people??

I agree, it's a stupid. A 4 kill, while extremely rare, is possible in general play, but a 5 kill in a game with only 6 enemies is nigh impossible as you have to rely on the enemies being terrible (and close!) as much as you do your own skill, especially as killstreaks don't count towards it.

The fact there's an achievement tied to this too will only encourage boosting for some.

Crash Site against idiots is your best bet. Earn Maximum Nanosuit then get a site where everyone is in the zone. Throw a grenade in to kill a few, turn the suit on, and hope you can clean up in time before they escape or your team bags one. In no other mode will you likely find 5 people close enough on the map to even make this a remote possibility.

Agreed with above.

Although just be glad they didn't have a Extermination skill kill in this game...

In all fairness, Exterminations happen in Halo 3, and that has killtimes 10x longer. I can see it happening in Impact if you get the right situation.

In all fairness, Exterminations happen in Halo 3, and that has killtimes 10x longer. I can see it happening in Impact if you get the right situation.

It's not the killtimes, but the amount of players, level design, speed and the weapon power.

In Halo you have a rocket launcher, a sword, a sniper, and a bunch of vehicles that can easily string multiple kills together in single hits. Not may people are getting Exterminations just with a BR or DMR. Grenades are much more powerful, faster and numerous too. On top of that people regularly travel in groups with a lot slower movement speed in wide open levels with little cover for them to escape to.

In Crysis 2, nobody sticks together, there are no power weapons to speak of, and you can sprint to cover or go invisible very quickly no matter where you are. I'd get double kills in most games of Reach, and even Quad kills weren't too uncommon, and my K/D for that game was much lower than for Crysis 2.

Also in an 8v8 environment you have to kill a smaller percentage of the enemy team to get a 6 kill than you do to get a 5 kill here. A 6 kill in Halo requires you to take out 75% of the enemy team at once in much more favourable conditions. In Crysis 2 a 5 kill requires you to take out 83.3% of the enemy team, making it much more difficult. A Halo quad is the same as a Crysis 2 triple - 50%.

An Extermination is difficult, but not as hard as a Psycho.

Agreed it's a tough one. Can't understand why Orbital Beam or Ceph Gunship kills don't count. Killing five out of six of the opposistion on maps this big is tough. Maybe in Instant action but even then it's hard.

i think this skill kill will encourage boosting more than anything else in the game. I don't know what crytek can do about the 5 kill to make it easier but i can't see them being able to prove people boosted for it either. Hopefully they will figure something out but im not sure what.

I did this on Lighthouse while playing Crash Site.

Killed 3 guys inside the crash site with the JAW, switched to my SCARAB and killed 2 dudes who spawned to the side.

I have been trying like hell to get this, seeing as its the last skill kill i need. I have gotten 4 kills at once a few times, but the fifth eludes me. Drives me nuts to come so close just to get shut down.

Psycho is the last skill kill I need for the achievement. If anyones up for boosting we could party up and go into a Free-For-All when possible and bosst it. Anyone up for it? I'm "iEnraged Potato" on the 360.
