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.

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.

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.

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

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?

To be fair, you could blow up a warthog with 1 or 2 plasma grenades iirc.

Also you could disable them with a pistol.

You are so wrong it's funny. Dust maps are barely medium sized.

Sidewinder was bigger than most DUST maps. What's your point? Unless you are counting the redlines, that's just stupid.

One day I hope to play the game your playing, because when I play DUST 514 the maps are average sized for mixed arms games.

Your little minimap does not solve the problem. In BF3, almost any weapon can kill the driver from his jeep. The soldiers are armored like in dust and are easily killed by anything. He's also very exposed. Unlike in LAV's, you'd be lucky to snipe them off their seat. And AV grenades are the only effective "grenade" types to use against them. The standard frag grenade in BF3 can blow up jeeps and at the same time that frag grenade can be used to kill enemies.

Halo soldiers have the ability to throw up a barrier that literally turns them into an indestructible wall. At least in Halo Reach it did.The counter would destroy warthogs gunning for them. None of these things exists in Dust. And if you take the Logo LAV's, a single AV grenade won't take it out. More and more players are using them to spam since there heavily armored.

Comparing it to games without vehicles is pointless. Console has nothing to do with it. Do you play a lot of FPS games?

Murder Taxi wasn't a huge issue before they buffed the LAV health by 70%. Pre-buff the mechanics were similar to other shooters that it wasn't an issue - 1-2 standard AV nades took out a standard or militia LAV. Higher tier LAV's took more hits or higher tier AV. Now, I can barely scratch a militia LAV with AV nades and that moron driving a FREE LAV just racks up kills like nobodies business.

Solution - remove the health buff from free LAV's, lower it for the other tiers. Limit the number of Free LAV's per team and add collision damage for all (even friendly).
