so about the slides.

(BiigDaddyDellta) #1

:rolleyes:Alright, I have put up a thread like this another time but I feel like it’s time to bring it up again. why is there a slide mechanic? I mean the tackle is one thing (I’ll get to the big grope about that in a minute.) but there is literally no place in this game to slide under an obsticle. you can’t slide under the conveyers in terminal, you can’t slide under the black and white rail in sec tow, what is there to slide under? I feel this was supremely underused and had a lot of potential to be a good method for entry and backways.

As far as the slide tackle, the lights are really starting to be a bother, when you do a slide I understand that you slide but the momentum should carry you in that on singular direction. why can the lights slide and go more than one direction, it makes it very hard to shoot them and it’s part of the reason they can take down heavies so well. If I could slide forward then back and to the side all in one slide I’d be hard to hit too. this should be addressed.

Here’s looking forward to the future,

BiiG

P.S. I’m sorry there’s about two or three places in the parkour this challenge to slide under… but not in game.

I agree,its weird seeing you only sliding for few meters after running 20 meters.

but no need to add tackle,I’d rather stick to slide.

Slide through the hole in the gate on Container City. Faster than crouching.

I win.

I like to slide under walls…

…of bullets.

In aquarium, going from one blast door to the other, you slide under the pipes.

On terminal, the bagage scanner area there are a few places to slide.

(sereNADE) #8

the tooltip for sliding is that it helps you avoid bullets. it looks to be more a measure of retreat than making a grand entrance. :tongue:

there are server side settings to change slide behavior. you can slow it down or speed it up. make it last 2 meters or extend it to across entire maps. you can change how hard the impact is when sliding into players and how far they go flying after getting hit.

didn’t know about those, I always end up just stoping and climbing over things instead of under.

(BiigDaddyDellta) #10

I’m on 360 I can’t change any of that stuff.

…I slide and knock people off my Tower. Security Tower. We must protect this HOUSE! I also slide into areas I am not suppose to…wait, scratch that last part. Ha ha ha! :slight_smile:

slide is extremly useful.

  • avoiding bullets and get into cover as a light body. saves your life.
  • as a medic ( light body) slide to a downed temmate, revive, walk back shooting and giving cover for the tammate.
  • if you run into an enemy you can slide into him … again to save your life and have a chance against bigger guys.

its not about going under obstacles.

(BiigDaddyDellta) #13

I never said it wasn’t useful, I said it was underused as a traversing skill. and that lights going more than one direction in one slide is against the laws or phisycs.

(wolfnemesis75) #14

Huh. The Slide kicks ass. Literally. :slight_smile:

(MastaPiff) #15

I perfer the strafe slide… u get the same slide distance. It makes u a wider target but shooting back while sliding sideways from a standstill seems to get heavies panic spraying LOL. I agree tho they should remove the invisible walls on a few things u should be able to slide under… don’t know if they can with a patch one day. It makes the game seem sloppy when u hit the invisible wall trying to slide under the rail @ the sec tower front gate…

The slide mechanic exists so that during the middle of matches you can sprint over to join your teammate who is crouching behind cover and accidentally sliding into him, damaging him and knocking him down in the line of fire of the enemy.

I got up in a middle of a group once while self reviving and did a 360 slide on spot.

Tripped everyone around me.

I love sliders. What i do is I’ll stop firing complete, aim for the spot where their slide will end, and reduce them to human soup in that spot. Especially after the Heavy weapon updates. There’s nothing more satisfying then swiss cheesing a slide spamming light with my Chinzor, or better still…OHKing his ass with the Hjammerdiem.

(H0RSE) #19

I use sliding to help avoid enemy fire.

Sliding and SMART IS Brink. :slight_smile:
