Because in most games they don't give you the ability to have 12 jeeps running round on a map the size of a football stadium.

Also because the physics are better in other games. Just touching a LAV in motion does more damage than getting hit in the face with 4 forge gun shots simultaneously. In other games you can jump on the hood, or roll off to the side for reduced damage. DUST LAVs will destroy the toughest heavy with the lightest touch.

Are you claiming Dust maps are small in comparison to other shooters with vehicles? Because that's completely wrong. As for vehicle amount, Halo can have 4 warthogs and 4 ghosts simultaneously in most 16v16 game types and BF3 has a similar amount of roadkill capable vehicles.

i never had a issue where majority of the enemy wants to just drive you over instead of using the gun in a fps. Thats game breaking, might as well being playing mario kart.

OK, so you'd be happy with CCP putting in a whole spectrum of impact damage instead of the current binary system of fine or dead? I can agree that that would be helpful.

But why is it an issue here and not elsewhere? What about the mechanics make it problematic? People in other games adapt just fine to it, why not us?

Exactly.

How do other games handle friendly road kills? I can't imagine any reputable game would allow people to one hit kill an enemy and just push a friendly off to the side. So many time's I've been in an actual firefight as you would expect from an fps when a LAV peels around the corner knocking their buddies aside and steamrolling everyone else.

Add in the fact that thanks to free LAVs you have a game that is supposed to be centered around investments of isk and SP reduced to a bunch of idiots losing absolutely nothing for spawning and crashing free LAVs over and over and over while the people they one hit kill are actually losing something.

The main problem is that LLAVs are crazy strong in shields and needs several hits from forge guns to actually take one down, not to mention that you are completely vulnerable for the driver to just run you over while you're charging it up in a suit that is already crap at moving anyway.

Then I'm happy with that, I just don't want to see LAVs get utterly destroyed by any changes to the murder taxi situation. There is a lot of spite on these forums and I feel that a lot of people do want to see them made useless.

And why does a dropsuit let me survive a 1000m fall, but can't protect me when a jeep hits me?

Most games seem to get along just fine with jeeps and warthogs running people over, what is it about Dust's mechanics that make this an unacceptable phenomenon? When you run someone over in Halo or Battlefield the community doesn't cry out in anguish and demand nerfs, they deal with it and pay more attention.

I propose a simple solution to all of the complaints, a large increase on the scan profile of ALL LAVs so as to make them always show up on the mini-map. I think that with that much warning, if you cannot get out of the way then you deserve to die.

Thoughts on the issue and on my solution?

Because in every other FPS, death has no meaning and you can just respawn. In DUST it cost the player many thousands of monies and game time to earn those monies. Simple.

I would like to mount blades and flaylock pistols on my LAV. Anyone knows a good custom shop?

And how easy do jeeps or any vehicle for that matter go down in BF3 ? 1 shoulder fired RPG = dead. 1 javelin = dead, 1 land mine = dead. You might survive a tank shot jist long enough to bail, and you may survive one hit from other AV but even so the vehicle is done for. **** a M203 Would disable the open top Jeeps in one hit!

Spending a whole match attempting to run people down in BF3 will only result in a terrible score, many death and 11 pissed off teammates because you weren't PTFO'ing.

Honestly IMO you're a fool for even comparing the two, Balance is handled entirely different on BF3.

Because in most FPS games you don't have to buy your equipment with ISK... or even worst ; AUR
