Whats with the stars?

Post by Hans Olo »

This probably is remarkably simple, but I am going to ask it anyway.

I have a deadly rating with 2000 some kills. The other day, some stars appeared around the word 'deadly' on screen five. Besides being pleased with the snazzy militaristic decor, I was puzzled. Do these stars mean I got a certain number of kills, being a sort of sub-rating, like stripes on the belts of martial artists? Do more show up? What is the scoop?

The stars go with the two highest combat ratings, thus:

Code: Select all

"☆ Deadly ☆",
"★★★ E L I T E ★★★"
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

I thought that you needed 2560 kills to get a deadly combat rating !

Yep. Most likely "2000 some" translate into 2560 (and a couple more in the meantime).
