I will say I don't throw up my hands and be all But I WILL call bullshit when people try to justify it as a viable (honorable) and good bolter-porn style. It is crap, and using it is crap. If you want to use it fine, just be willing to accept that you're being jinky.
Well, moving while shooting is perfectly fine (and part of the game design), but ADAD-ing is not. It is not part of the design or intended, so just because you can do it, you shouldn't do it.
That would be correct if it wasn't the case where the devs actually acknowledged that they made the whole eldar faction around adad strafing life on stream. So they are aware of its use in game and have already designed around its use. They are probably not aware how shady the net code really is and how much effect high ping has on a large part of the player base i betya. BTW am i the only one out there that wants to see Twizzlers play DA ?
Like I said earlier, and to re-enforce your earlier statement about the servers and lag...I can't tell it is being used against me from my end. Lag is so awful in this game that I will err on the side of caution and not call someone out in game over it. It's the vids and the folks praising it's use that has me SMDH. At least with the bunny hop I could nade their ass or run up with a crow bar and beat them to death. As a Tact in this game your melee options are limited.
well i make videos for the youtubes as kinda hobby so i often have to watch my own game play when i'm cutting clips together and stuff and what i've noticed is that even i do adad strafe without even being aware i'm doing it most of the time. i'm just trying to not get hit you know. What makes twizzlers performance praisable is his consistency and ability to aim while doing it. whether or not this is a netcode abuse or whatever is debatable. but i think most of us can agree this is a certain set of skills not all of us have mastered yet. After all he always posts his videos here on the official forum where devs are free to watch them also. And they always lead to many interesting discussions about the topic of strafing. He is drawing enough attention to the subject to eventually catch their eye as it were. So if this is indeed something thats not intended the devs have all the evidence they need right here and are capable of stepping in and doing something about it whenever they decide to do so. I believe the mechanic is intended just not intended to be this abusable?? So I'm keeping an open mind on the subject and leave any decision making about it to the dev team. lets just say i won't cry about it if it eventually gets changed. and I won't really cheer if it doesn't. I frankly don't really care much as I main melee and we have our own problems! lol And I won't hate on anyone for using it I see it as part of the game in its current state all of which can change at the whim of a patch.
I can get behind that logic. See, ADAD is counter intuitive to me. I see someone shooting at me I think "get the hell out of the way!" not shift back and forth. The oodaloop necessary to do that will get me killed in game because I have to fight my natural and trained instincts. That pause while I think, "wait there's a trick/gimick, to this" is enough to get smoked. We are trained to "not be where the enemy is shooting". And this could be something as simple as taking two steps to the left or right, NOT bouncing back and forth. So I slide to the left....then I slide to right, hell I'll even take a quick knee in CS:GO to get a quick shot off and then jump out of the line of fire. Taking a knee in this game does dick for you though. I will agree that it takes some level of skill and dexterity to accomplish the jinky stuff. But that doesn't make it any less jinky. And scopes are beyond off. I stopped using my stalker after three shots to the head of a chaos marine that didn't drop him. The response I got..."you didn't hit his head". That is part of the problem, the hitboxes or scopes are way off, when I have my dot between the eyelenses and it doesn't register a head shot...
I do have some DA clips in my past montages ;D. I'm probably in the minority of Eldar players that actually enjoy playing DA.
It's called being adaptable, something you seem to struggle with and clearly suffer for... You must be the guy who never strafe or rocket jumped in Quake or Unreal. Also yer shaming players horseshit can ride on the fuck out of here, we don't need yer bullying ass here. Another fun montage Twizz, keep em coming
. no, I never rocket jumped. Never played quake and Unreal. From what I've seen though, I wouldn't have used it.
