While the enemy is supposed to employ tactics that make war extremely unenjoyable for you, you always want to put high level hardcore gameplay first.

I laugh at the community's ingenuity too, but similar to murder taxis...is this the type of gamplay we want new players and especially gaming media to see? Its funny/amusing but does it paint the game in a positive light?

if we are discussing the post death glitch then no, fix it,

if you are talking about RE's killing you in any other form or use of them. then yes it's fine as is.

It's NOT A GLITCH!
You have to actually kill the guy, head shot or grenade or shoot while he's down, or pay attention or carry flux nades, been this way always.

This is what I was thinking, I mean, if it was a glitch, you'd think they'd have fixed it sometime in the past year.

Really. How long have you played this game for again?

Railguns and forge guns have been plagued with bugs since forever. The same bugs. Since always. I would make a strong argument that more of the community uses those weapons than the RE (especially now with HAVs in their current state and the railgun being a bit OP)

When you see that reddot pop out from around a corner and take a couple of potshots at you before ducking back around the corner, do you give chase?

If you care to READ, and not just imagine what i wrote, you see that I use that tactic to kill CAMPED protostompers. But the problem of proto or not. We have a weapon that grant a sure kill AFTER YOU'RE DEAD. I don't mind being killed by a remote trap, You deserve that kill. Like a shotgun kill or a Forge kill. What i can't take is people tossing a remote when they understand that they lose the engage and give them a sure kill AFTER death. When you know you're going to respawn seconds later and you're confident that your dying will cost them more than it will you-- it is a totally valid tactic despite whether you think this is cheap or "you can't take it".

I'm giggling about my Jihad Jeeps that have remotes on the front, back, and both sides. Drive up to a squad, wait for them to get close, get out. hit the detonator. Watch the kills come in. Take my jeep back and drive away. Needless to say it was -extremely- hilarious. For every ingenious trap, there's always at least one idiot that will ruin it. The best traps often rely on the stupidity of your opponent. Last night, I was running around nearly using REs to the exclusion of all other weapons (as a direct result of reading this thread). I got this one douchebag in my squad that kept running his mouth about how he was the greatest heavy ever and how he knew AV better than anyone else. He was a "tank-killer" par excellence, at least that is what he kept saying, who wasn't using "any fake money son, that's a real money forge son, AUR forge son". He got under my skin something fierce, mainly because he kept ruining my traps. I didn't mind him running his mouth so much as the ruining my traps. He would chase the enemies away (dying in the process and not killing any either) when I had corners trapped and he killed the red LAV I trapped ("I ain't going to have points in from of me and not take it son"). At the end of the match I would've expected him to have more than 370 WP at 13th on our teams aftermatch stats. Even with him ruining as many of my traps as he did, I still managed to be first.

I don't mind if they mange to pull the trigger BEFORE they're down,they deserve that kill. My only complain is that people CAN PULL the trigger AFTER THEIR DEATH, thats the problem. But that is half the fun. I mean, seriously, how hard is it to shoot their body as you're backing up? Never not bleed your enemies out.

Again, I donGÇÖt know which button to press, but it is possible. You can detonate on the Death Screen, but not the choose spawn screen.

So, I have a question. Where is it confirmed to be a glitch? Source? AFAIK, this is working as intended, if I am not mistaken this is how it has always been. I know it has been this way as long as I have been using REs and I've been using them for the majority of "release".
