Alright, this is my last post here, this has gone on for too long.

Maybe you forgot, but Dust 514 was supposed to be unique, so who says it's too late to remove strafing? CCP certainly disagrees with you, since they just nerfed it big-time. Speaking of physics, please think about all the things that defy physics in this game. Don't bother with the whole shields idea, as they actually come up with an explanation for that in the lore. Methinks you won't come up with a large number of things, because physics DO exist in this game, despite being a fiction game.

At protoman, I laughed so hard at that comment, please keep it up, I could use a little laugh every now and then. I seem to remember you using tanks in the past, and those are just massive bunkers(bunkers are considered cover by the way) that have massive guns on them, so the irony is practically tangible.
Points for you if your brain can comprehend tangible.

I could be in a militia gear all day with strafing speed back in the game. No need for expensive gear. I can circle around against a heavy suit while I lol'd to his death.

I'm an avid CODplayer and over the years have somewhat became a COD enthusiast. It's the only game i've ever legitimate "used cover" (camped my ass off) Sitting in one spot dropping all types of killstreaks on people because they are moronic enough to run down my fire lane.

Motion mine and everything.

Working as intended. ccp has stated that scouts should be able to beat heavies. The perfect imbalance is ruined since the strafe nerf.

The rock paper scissors aspect has been removed.

Now its heavies>scout and assault>scout.

by the way, there is a difference between "using cover" and "camping".

one involves moving around, and one does not.

I play COD "tactically" behind cover waiting for the poor lads that decide to continually enter my firezone.

You people are really making it hard to respond to the massive amount of your hateful and ignorant comments.

That was actually two and a half lines.
I would like to hear your definition of strafing before I try to mock you.

Your talking about hiding behind a corner like a call of duty fuckboy. That's exactly what this game has devolved into.

Little call of duty camping fuckboys and Battlefield vehicle whores can't handle strafers that's why they buy the same game every year. This game could have been different.

That's the sad part. This game was supposed to be different. Lazy garbage players that can't aim are slowly ruining the game. They try to find any reasoning they can to justify it to. In the end it all boils down to garbage players wanting to be catered to.

What percentage of players do u consider garbage protoman ?

I would be the first to admit that the aforementioned protogent is better than me at this game and i consider at least 80% are garbage .

So protoman being better probly considers 90-95 % of player5s are garbage

Now what kind of free to play game can survive if it only caters to 5-10 % of its paying customers ?

scouts were never intended to go face to face with a heavy, they could in previous builds because of hit detection.

scouts that are dumb enough to get up in people's faces better know how to kite someone using cover (not camping).
