Why? Why was this put into the game? is it just a glitch? or it actually a new, (and very idiotic) feature?

There is no need for it, please just remove it.

Why? Its what would happen in real life and is nice little mechanic.

No it's not, all it does is impede the game-play.

All it does is further ruin the skill gap in this game.

"aww poor jimmy has terrible aim! Have no fear! give him a mass driver, and have him spam that at the other, more skilled player that would have likely won through skill. NOW HE CAN'T AIM, and little jimmy can just spam those explosives until he dies! :D"

it is a stupid mechanic, and no self respecting competitive player would approve of it. Haven't you ever wondered WHY a similar mechanic isn't in any other well known FPS game? Hell, the only Time I have seen a similar mechanic was in Garrys mod, and in the game type "trouble in terrorist town"

it is stupid, remove it.

Game play > realism.

I support this mechanic. Suppressing another squad by shelling the hell out of them with grenades and mass drivers so members of yours can sweep and clean them out is full of win. I can understand why people would cry about it though. It removes more of the 'lone wolf" abilities of these supposed "skilled" players and puts more of the onus on teamwork.

end up dying because of it at no fault at your own.

I think its your own fault you let yourself get hit with an explosive.

No it doesn't.

i can still sweep through 5 or 6 scrubs before going down in my militia gear. All this ability does is make the game more of a class based game, rather then a skill based one.

You can't win because you can't fight back. That's all this mechanic does. There is no skill in that.

Just blast him until he dies, he cant shoot you back, so there's no risk to it.

Someone died. That's all I'm getting out of this post.

How so? Are you magically able to teleport around the map?

That is true, but then i could add if want more realistic affect to reduce bunny hop or strafing as those ARENT things done in real life. People complain here about not wanting a realistic mechanic for core gameplay features, yet here you want them. Id say go one way not split hairs on some and not others

Nope, I just know it is always my fault if I get shot. I man up and take responsibility for my own shortcomings and not blame others use of tactics or game mechanics for my downfall. I sit back and reflect on what actions I could possibly perform to avoid another such encounter. Like maybe I shouldn't be prancing about solo out in the open in close proximity to a mass driver if they juggle my hud all over the place.

there aren't any positives to having it in the game.

It's making you mad. That's enough right there.

i do not like the screen being moved.. slowing me down when getting shot at... okay. but totally moving my reticule is ridiculous IMO. i just dont like it.

Awe man, you sound really really angry. BEST FEATURE EVER!

This thread has inspired me to give the Mass Driver another chance.

You people are lovely, but in my opinion THIS GAME IS A CLASS BASED GAME.

This game is different from your straight up competitive shooter. The explosive force makes the mass driver crowd control mechanic a little more viable on the field.

Mass Driver has so many bugs, half my rounds go though the level I swear.
