Codex has removed the equipment selection from the mouse wheel leaving KBM users having to basically stop moving in order to press Caps Lock and move the mouse to select equipment like nanohives, injectors, repairers etc.
Logistics mercs now have a completely redundant mouse wheel as they have no sidearm weapon !
I'm guessing it's been done cos people were selecting their equipment rather than sidearm ... well tough luck ... you die ... you should have been more careful in your selection, but at least there's a drop uplink down you can spawn back on or a nano down your team can use lol.
Seriously though ... please can we have equipment items back in the mouse wheel selection. |

The old system didn't interfere in any way with the gameplay ... now whether it's pressing caps lock or middle button you still lose control of the mouse while selecting equipment. In a game where being aware of your surroundings is important ... losing the ability to look around is devastating especially when your holding a location to deploy equipment. |

I noticed a change last night in that the R2 button doesn't cycle through ALL equipment anymore, for better or worse. As a Logi, I used to be able to tap R2 twice to go from Rifle -> Pistol/SMG -> Nanite Injector. Last night I discovered at one of the worst possible times that the Nanite Injector doesn't come up in the cycle anymore. I have to hold R2 down and select it.
While that's not a horrible thing (there've been a number of times where I've wanted to switch weapons and NOT cycle through the injector), it was a bit of a surprise. ;)
I haven't tried playing with a mouse/keyboard, but I'm guessing the changes are related.

As a logi you can't carry a pistol, you are presumably an assault with a nanite injector in your equipment slot. I'm talking about logistic suit users who have no sidearm and therefore no use for this new weapon switch.
Yes the tap R2 is the same as scrolling the mouse wheel, it's a quick switch that the equipment has been removed from making logistics use the slow switch bringing up the UI to select what they want and US swarm launcher users on KBM having to mess about trying to get a nanohive out while already being outclassed by AR infantry and having to stand still for seconds just to select a nano to drop and then switch back to a weapon.
Are we just catering for the AR users who don't want to have to know what equipment they're carrying, so they can just change weapons soon as the ammo runs out without having to put any thought into it ! |
