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. |

Haha! The murder taxi is still alive and well, only now you have to either:
A. Drive well and go full pelt everywhere. or B. Be a persistent little bugger and circle round for that finishing blow! |

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. |

I hope you can do a decent job considering the lack of executive director atm.

You are being rather over-aggressional about a level of combat effectiveness that is no longer present in the game. While your fixation on that branch of the topic is intriguing, we are in no way suggesting the reincarnation of said traits, hence your self expression leads to much internal deliberation upon the status of the discourse. |

sucked just as much when i managed to avoid a murder taxi and they would just back up and slide forward alight amount and smear me into the pavement without any risk. The cars were nerfed due to the fact they only had to slightly brush up against you and kill you outright. |

Ha! Don't pretend people only died crossing the road.
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. |

If by that you mean, people were pissed at dying when a car crawling up hill at 5 MPH touched them, then yes you are absolutely right, we evil crybabies made the @ssholes who relied on one hit kill machines actually have to try and shoot someone...in a FPS. |

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....

You need to be running at a good pace to "Kill" a trooper, Otherwise you bounce off to the side. - Your in Power armor after all.
2 LAVs ramming head one at max speed will kill both LAVs..... I count that as a win since There were 2 people in the enemy LAV and I was alone in mine.
I feel they are operating as balanced.
If you can hop out at the last second they'll still explode, but you won't be in the car. The explosion will kill you. |

I have actually run over folk at not that great a speed and I literally saw a vehicle stop about 5 meters behind me, I turned to run and it still killed me (maybe if they pin you to a wall it auto kills though - that may have happened)
Never mind when a fatty jumps out of his car...okay, different topic, but I still think they should make a sound when a fatty gets out that sounds like rusty bed springs squeaking as the suspension of the car gives a sigh of releaf and rises several inches. Then it should scream as the heavy gets back in, for comedies sake to make up for the crap way they just drive up, skipping all of their drawbacks, hose you, then drive away.

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. They nerfed physics because too many complained that physics was working, and nobody cared to destroy LAVs. |

Properly fitted small blasters can tear through any dropsuit or at least heavies, first hand experience here. Nailed someone with a particle cannon yesterday. I was driving around and a red driver was chasing me, we both stopped at the same time to switch seats to fire our cannons. He had a basic missile launcher. Funniest part was that I knew if I aimed directly at him that was the one thing it wouldn't hit |

If you can get a slight "jump" onto a target you can squash them or shove them into a wall for the same effect. All vehicles can do this as far as I know. And for ground based vehicles there are very specific areas which it can be done, which means you have to heard a target to the "killzone" if you want to glomp-kill them. I like it better than the old method (which I abstained from except for one game where I tried it from curiosity, got 4 kills in 10 seconds then promptly drove into a wall haha) because the jumps actually take knowledge of the map and enemy motion to perform.
I did this with a tank once, an AV guy ran around a hill so i drove over the top of it, and as the tank see-sawed down it crushed him. |
