Any Air Stomp Tips For MP?

Post » Sun Jul 05, 2009 5:33 pm

I gave up on air stomp when I jumped from a good height, stomped and literally landed about 2 inches from a guy, and then he killed me. I saw his killcam, I landed right next to him and he took NO damage. I was like.. what the hell?

One thing i didnt see mentioned here that i had a lot of success with during the demo when i leveled up AS is to use flash bang to initiate with, if your good with flash bangs you get enemies very disoriented and usually they freeze up making it very ez to land a big Air Stomp. This helped me to farm up alot of kills.

When I saw the game I was going "WHOLY $%#(*&%@(*%*&@(*&#$@ THAT LOOKS SO COOL!" now that I have the game...I can't even get one kill with Air stomp :( Now after this thread I think it's time for some crashsite.

Higher you go The more dmagae you do.

Look for an oppurtunity, jusge where hes gonna walk then, Hold A - Hold B at Peak Height - Pray.
Exactly, but I would also recommend cloaking along with the jump so you're not pegged out of the sky as well.

I sometimes come across these kinds of hiccups as well. It just means two things:
1) You didn't jump from a proper height needed for the kill.
2) Enemy might have been in Armor Mode.

If you jump off something like the light house, for an example, no matter what if you land in the general vicinity, you'll get the kill.

Hope this helps you out, and good-luck!

That sounds like a awesome idea, but I really don't want to give up my nade. haha. I'll try it though on my Shotgun Class. See if I have better results. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah man Crash-Site is your best bet. I was stuck at 10 AS Kills playing TM Instant Action and got a butt-load switching over to Crash-Site. I should've seen it earlier, but I didn't really dig Crash-Site previously. No I can happily say that I'm hooked.

As for not getting kills with it, be sure to have a lot of height to your advantage. There is no need to worry about taking damage from the fall because you don't take any when you activate the attack. And once you level it up to the second stage it rewards you with no fall damage permanently.

Good-Luck.

Thank you, sir. It definitely takes tons of practice. But once you get the general timing and distance down it's a piece of cake.

I'm currently at: 98/150

funny part is that with all the effort put in to just achieving the air stomp kill i found it extremely impractical and more used for a glorified brag kill, still fun non the less :P

Super fun to perform, that's the only reason why I still play that MP game, hoping that they eventually fix the controls and lag issues.

Broke my Virginity today with a Double Kill in the same manner as in the tutorial video that plays when you choose it. There was a sly smile for sure.

Favourite move in game and most hated at the same time. i think if you are facing an enemy when you land helps as well (as in video) because on pier 17 i ran straight at the top of some stairs and some guy coming towards the bottom of them. i sprint jumped at him and stomped about 5 feet from the guy and he flopped dead. It was only 1 storey/flight of stairs at the front of mall. definately the most satisfying kills achieved with air stomp ;)

I was a bit disappointed during the demo... I worked really hard to get my 150 air-stomp kills (on PC) to get the Air Friction unlock - and it didn't exist! xD

Got a Achievement for fully upgrading a single Module and LVL 3, which as you stated earlier, does give you quicker recovery time once you use the ability. AWESOME! :)
