I often put twisting force onto my controller when I get one of these wonderful "spawn to kill a tank, get murdered by infantry, spawn to counter infantry, get murdered by tank, spawn with AV, hit tank once, get killed by sniper while the entire team is going full potato" matches.
Or when I die because the equipment wheel decides to be an ******* or my weapon bugs out or a Cal scout turns invulnerable somehow. Or a ******* shotgunner/nova knifer hits me while I'm driving back a bunch of no-skill protostompers in standard gear as the sole fighter on my team.
Seriously, **** all of the out-of-nowhere instant kill sources in this game, outside of forge guns and railguns. When I die to those, I at least feel like I deserve it for standing in the line of fire.
Shotguns, nova knives, sniper rifles and soundless ADS (happens occasionally, for whatever reason) need to die. REs get a pass for requiring foresight since the anti-frisbee patch, though.
I think the worst situation might be getting steady instant-deaths during a protostomp, with vehicles everywhere, to a degree that I don't even get SP because of the WP threshold. I've had that happen three times or so in my time of playing this game since the feature was introduced.
Thankfully I never broke anything, but I'm often close. I've quit the game about three times and always came back after about half a year or so. I might be SP addicted. Seriously, passive SP might be one of the most intelligent design choices in this game.
Last week I was pleasantly surprised when I switched to Cal Logi and had three or so incredibly satisfying matches. I didn't know this was even possible in Dust.
Afterwards, all of my matches, even the ones as Logi, were utter ****. I guess it was just a fluke, instead of a result of my new role.
I miss this experience of being the guy to keep the entire team together, reviving everyone, putting out repairs and restocks and also constantly getting kills, with strategic switching of my mode of interaction. I felt like a super soldier, instead of just some disposable clone grunt. |
