Having a vehicle running people over in a shooting game very much defeats the point of the game. Might as well just play GTA if that is what you want to do.

Actually it's a war game. Having different methods of killing opponents is a good thing. Keeps people thinking.
If there were ways of killing using World Hazzards (such as overloading a shield generator for a bridge over lava so people on the bridge fry till the shield comes online again) I would definitely plan on how to lure people into such traps.

Hope you are not comparing running people over as well developed plan. I agree variety is good, but driving around in an indestructible jeep and running over people being an effective strategy to win a match not so much. It just gets silly seeing a bunch a soldiers on a battle field throw down their guns and do nothing but run people over. If it was a once in a while thing when the circumstances allowed ok, but all the time?

I don't argue that you should not be able to run people over, but it should not be the level that murder taxis once was.

I dunno if that was a bug or did ccp "balance" cars too now? Now I know vehicles can be a little cheap and **** to be suddenly run over by...and the fact that they can be almost anywhere and at any time and some players use it as a main reason to get kills, and can get quite annoying..but, they're cars, and honestly if you keep your ears perked enough you can hear them coming.

A successful thread if you ask me. `Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST. Yeah seriously! Like ANY thread I make there's someone that..has to be a pansy and say something unsavory...I dont get it...why so serious? i say its due to the sense of security that comes with being on the net...

I've actually been having quite a lot of fun with that. The small turrets are still **** though. Don't forget to fix those. God knows that Blam! did........ Hhehehe! yeeaah those turrets do suck, (the missle launcher is ok, but the turret is just there for show) they should fix that.

I agree with your argument aside from the indestructibility, I've almost stopped hitch hiking in other players cars due most of them being blown up at some point.

They caused the Opness of AV to show it's ugly face. Oh well, they were broken already. Now, stop yer' yapping and finish up the vehicle fix your scheming up! Oh wait, before you go, ETA for that thread and DEV blog should get here? I will be doing my best to get it done during this week. Fingers crossed nothing horrible crops up to stop me finishing it. You got uhhh... 2 days? Yea 2 days to get it done before next week. I can wait though. Don't rush yourself I sometimes wish I could observe you dev guys while making this game...seems like it would be so fast paced.

Heck, these things were inside CQC areas, smashing people into obstacles, jumping off buildings and mountains onto people, doing circuits around maps (inside or outside) to Benny Hill music on some videos. On certain maps you could jump out of the MCC and be roadkill half a second later. If the driver didn't get you first time you end up being chased back and forth until you were on top of or behind something or squished. It's was embarrassing. Funny in retrospect but I wouldn't want to go back. Yeah I'll admit..that shyt was funny, even when I wasnt behind the wheel. nothing says random hilarity like a vehicle sliding down an inside corridor after ya (which is still done)

I still kill a lot of people with them when I'm harassing the Caldari in FW. You just have to think a little, which is hard for the common duster. Speak to the drivers, I've learned that any ground vehicles just arent my thing unless its my friend's tank..I dont even hitch a ride anymore cus people dont know how to friggin drive and the car explodes, my thoughts as a duster...never trust drivers.... And when I escape the explosion I find myself in the midst of the enemy....

A 2 ton car will do more dammage to you tan you would to yourself if say you could run at a wall at 70 k/ph as the car will have more forcw behind it to move at that speed. ^ He's right!
