Climbing/Falling

Searo · 2003-09-21, 01:15 PM

As a sniper trying to get to the top of mountains, I can literally take 50 damage from SLIDING!
That's right, I don't fall, I just skid down for like five feet.

Did I sprain my ankle? Why do I wear that shinguard then? Honestly, why can't anyone in PS climb or not get damaged by sliding three feet?

If we can't climb those hills, at least make it so we don't take 50 damage from trying.
I've jumped off of 5 story towers and taken no damage for some odd reason, but I've skidded three feet and taken 15.

It's messed up!

I concur.

I've fallen off the side of the crater edge on Searhus and died.

If you're sliding or falling and look down at the ground in the direction you're falling you won't take any damage about 90% of the time. Falls that would normally tear you up will do no damage at all. This doesn't seem to work when you jump, but it does when you're talking about the mountains that you slide down. Try it.

I say make a 1 point cert that has sniping as a prequisite and it would allow you to climb steeper hills

I always thought it would be cool to have a grappling hook or something. cert or not doesn't really matter (hopefully not) Me being TR and always having someone invading ceryshen it would be useful for a lone grunt to have the ability to get up the moutainside and not have to drop your Reinforced. E.G. for a mosquito or reaver.

I would love the grapleing hook as an infiltrator, given that it takes a pistol slot of course. I agree that cery is a bitch to get around if you don't have an air vehicle(which I dont.) It would also be nifty if grapleing hooks could be used on facility walls. This would also compleatly change base warfare in combonation with the new shields that are comeing up with core combat.

but then inful.s would be kinda overpowered. I mean just hanging above a doorway and some dude comes walking in with DL, you unclip the hook, grab your knife and beat the shit outa him. Yes that wuld be like sweet but then it gives lots of power to inful.s

And infils aren't currently UNDERpowered? We die to 1 shotgun shell, 1 boltdriver shot, are pretty plainly visible when moveing in anything other than a croutch, and get a knife and a pistol for weapons. Not to mention that even when compleatly still, if someone sweeps with DLV, we're dead.

Besides, people would just have to learn to look up when seeping a room.

*Edit: not to mention we now show up on radar, Grr!*
