2. For some reason visor enhance does not work when you are stealth and when you are not zoomed. Conceptually, this makes no sense because the visor is on your face. Why when you look through the scope does it all of a sudden work? And what does me being invisible have to do with visor not working? realistically if it was kind of like night vision i could still be invisible but my eyes would glow or something like night vision goggles.
3. The K-Volt and L-Tag are seriously useless. I have not seen 1 person consistently use either one. people try it then ditch it (including me, but i got lucky and unlocking them of course didn't save so i chose to unlock other guns).
This is just evident from the stats the K-Volt is given. Compared to the feline it has a slower rate of fire AND less damage. How the heck does that make sense? basically, it just doesn't do as much damage but has two more notches in range and 1 notch more in accuracy.
FYI accuracy / range are useless stats when using a submachine gun unless both were SIGNIFICANTLY increased.
The L-Tag is REALLY useless. here's what basically happens: 1) I shoot a grenade. 2) i get shot in the face. 3) the grenade explodes and the perpetrator is already standing on my body far from where I initially shot the grenade. I can kill him if A. I'm on the other side of the map and he doesn't change his position or B. if i suicide myself shooting the floor.
4. I know people are abusing stealth but I feel there is a HUGE glitch in stealth. for some reason i glow bright green randomly (it's not actually related to the light in the area or anything). There's no reason why when walking through a dark area i should glow when i'm supposedly "invisible"
5. The shotguns are ONLY good if you use the decreased spread mode. otherwise if you're not on TOP of someone you need a ton of shots to kill them. Also, sometimes shotgun mode switching doesn't work and you're just stuck with the large useless spread mode.
6. Stealth kills are also glitchy. You have to be way too close AND the person has to not be running. In a perfect world your solution is fine, however, in the lag infested servers I join, i wind up losing all my energy because it missed them, then they turn around and kill me.
You should lower the distance required to stealth kill so that when both parties are moving, it's still possible to kill them with lag. Another solution would be to give people the option to make stealth kill a separate button from melee which would also solve the problem.
7. I've also noticed another glitch with stealth. if you are in stealth, the first shot/melee/attack move does not always register. ie you need 3 melees to kill someone. also, from stealth i shot someone square in the face with the jav and it registered the hit with the little X icon on my cursor but they were still alive. last i checked, jav kills everyone in 1 hit. these are only a few examples, but it happens a LOT. people don't notice as much because they use a scar and just fire a LOT but when you use a shotgun or jav or melee which requires 1 shot to do a ton of damage you notice it pretty well.
8. Why can't I add someone to my friends list by clicking on their name? Why do I have to spend 50 seconds "searching" for their name. with weird characters and l vs I, o vs 0, etc., I can never add anyone fluidly.
9. Health is a big problem because I never see it and yet it determines whether I live or die. Crysis 1 had a health bar AND energy bar. Sure there are some sound notifications but it's still frustrating to not know how much health I have.
It would make dying as quick as you made it seem to be not as bad because at least I couldn't call bs when I know i had 10 hp. However, I always feel like I have 100 hp because I see my energy is full and yet that is not the case.
On that point, armor mode is seriously useless sometimes. Here's a perfect example. I'm running (in power mode of course) then I get hit by two bullets so now i have ~35 hp left. I enable armor mode with medium-high energy. I die in two more hits. Therefore, 4 bullets killed me.
If i was in armor to start, walking around like I have a target on my back ( 1. I'M GLOWING, 2. I'M SLOW AS SH%T) then at MAX I'll die in 5 hits instead. (5 hits * 35 Damage) * .65 (minus 35% from armor) > 100 (my total hp). So what's the advantage of being in armor mode, 1 less bullet?
Lets not also forget about if I'm walking around IN or OUT OF armor mode and i get shot in the head I'm dead regardless. Makes me think of Legal Weapon when the bad guys had armor piercing bullets and vests were all of a sudden "optional". Well armor mode is now "optional" because it's useless.
Also, Am I the only one who saw the crysis promo videos where when armor mode was enabled bullets were flattened on your body? what kind of bs is this you take 35% less damage crap. it should be 100% of the damage til your energy is drained.
10. Here's another stupid thing that's bothering me. In the promo videos doesn't the main character jump off a fricking rooftop and land perfectly. How the heck do I then die on the "ROOFTOP" map by falling off the building. this is conceptually retarded.
