How does 'Plea for Help' work? We just killed a squad and they weren't able to join us.

[4th]

They weren't able to ping, etc. How does someone plea for help? (new feature added by latest patch in case you're not aware.)

Would have been nice for them to explain how this works…

They explained it as well as assimilation.
A system I have yet to be convinced of that it actually does something.

As for the plea: I've seen a button prompt after I was downed but not the last one alive in our team. It was in the bottom left of the screen and read "plea for help". I didn't try it, but that's where i've seen it.

We had "confusion" on an exfil where we allowed a team rushing to make the LZ with the suitcase, in audio I agreed to allow them to join our exfil flight, once they came on someone on their team, either not on comms or was just a well,,, you know killed me and one other of my team that was not on the chopper. Both of us were screaming in comms to stop, but too late.

I thought I was simply dead in a exfil chopper but I hit plea for help and it kicked me out of the chopper onto the LZ. I used proxy chat to let my original team know I was just down the hill, they came and revived me and I was able to exfil with them I got mission credits but I believe my gear was lost. We did have enough time left to get the final exfil before radiation hit.

Just a note, I made it out on the 4th exfil that mission, the first we were rushed by a lone assasine(sp on purpose), I forgot what happened on the second, the third was above incident and of course the 4th was the final successful exfil.

Sooo.. That is just one way it can be used. Without it, that mis communication or whatever happened would have been my only exfil and I would have lost everything.

Yeah. I just found out that it works alright.

Started with a team of three. Kill one player. That player pleads, we take him and end up a four man team. Then my other two players run off to chase after a lone player in a building, both get downed. I rush to rescue them when I get invited into the killer's team. I accepted and arrive just in time for my new friend to get gunned down by my former fourth team mate. He shoots me, I stick him with thermite... we're all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dead.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
What a hoot!

Lol... Yea several players I have played with state they send one friend invite, if it is not immediately accepted, or acknowledged by proximity chat, its an execution. They dont wait to be shot themselves.

You could look up the word assimilation alone on YouTube and it would still show you hundreds of MW2 videos of people not only explaining how it works, but also showing you how it works. You are lazy and what you added has no bearing on this discussion.

What you said also added nothing lmao

Surely someone who studied game design at uni and feels they know it enough to include on their bio isn't as dumb as you are... right? Do you know how to use resources? Do you know that the same advice I gave him for assimilation works for your question too? Foreigners smh.

But, that only works when there are players around who can reach you. Otherwise, well - you are just dead.,

[ThePaleRider20]

So is this feature buggy cause I held F and nothing happened enemy players said they couldn't see any thing

[Definitely NOT A Robot]

Plea For Help works as follows:

1. You must be in a squad of at least 2.

1a. Plea For Help is not an option if your "squad" is "eliminated." This is why as a solo player, you will never be able to plea for help, because once you're down, your "squad" is eliminated and the game is over for you.

2. Get killed. Not downed; killed.
2a. At least one of your squad must still be alive.

3. On keyboard, as you're watching through a surviving teammates helmet cam, press and hold F. Fill out the bar. I have no idea how to plea for help on controller, so just smash it repeatedly against the wall like the poor you are until it magically works.

4. Once the bar is filled out, the camera will focus on your corpse.

5. Pray.

6. If someone comes across your corpse while you are dead and your teammate is still alive, they will have the option to heal you, or loot you.
6a. If they heal you, you leave your squad and join the new one.
6b. If they loot you, your plea for help is cancelled and another operator is richer and has a fancy new gun.

7. If, in the course of your plea for help, all your surviving squadmates are killed: Your squad is eliminated, your plea for help is cancelled, and the game is over.

8. If, in the course of your plea for help, your surviving squadmates join another team and leaves behind only dead squadmates like you: Your squad is eliminated, your plea for help is cancelled, and the game is over.

You could also just be helpful without being a jerk. They probably have a full time job, and may not get on much, this not knowing what the plea is. Just because you study game design, doesn’t mean you know the rules implemented in every single game; it’s clear you don’t know what game design is. And asking someone on a forum for games is a resource, smart ass.

[Rahotep]

I am a bit confused. Yesterday I did a plea for revive. One of the guys of the other team came and revived me. Just a sec later after my revival another one of the team eliminated me again and looted me. How? Erlier you wrote that you join the other team if you are being revived. Did not look like to me, otherwise they could not kill me again, right?

[4th]

So from my further experience with it I believe you can plea for help if you're fully downed but one or more teammates are alive. If your whole team is dead you can no longer plea for help. When you plea for help the enemy 'should' be able to walk up to your body and revive you, when reviving you you will automatically join their team.

I've seen this bug out a few times including once where I revived a guy and he was still an enemy.
