Just because you don't know how to use something efffectively, doesn't mean everyone automatically shares your inability.
Did I say that they do?
No.
You clearly cant read too well.
I read just fine. That Air stomp is useless was implicit in your post. Read your own post back again.

I agree that the air stomp should be removed as a perk. The main draws to Crysis2 are:
A. The impressive graphics,
B. The ability to feel like a unstoppable killing machine.
C. The various ways to complete an objective.

The perks should be designed to improve your kill potential. The air stomp is more of a liability then a perk. If you miss the stomp which is a high chance that you will… then you are a “shieldless” sitting duck. This also doesn’t fit into the “ predator/batman “ish” game play. At best the air stomp should be “tea bag” move of Crysis2. I opt for replacing it with an “enhanced mobility mode” giving the player a few seconds of extremely fast and agile speed boost.

I didnt vote because the air stomp is **** and its pointless even having it in the game.

[sarcasm] This is by far the most informative and helpful comment I have come across on Crysis 2 forums. I loved taking my time in considering your thoughts on this as well as the other ones you may have posted, you should become a moderator. [/sarcasm]

Everyone should have air stomp IMO.

But tbh, air stomp is underpowered. why bich about it? Proximity Alarm will get you more kills than Air stomp will.

anybody who said air stomp is useless are noob who don't know how to use it properly

Up until now I think I got around 300 kills with it, my total kills is ~7500 so that's not a high %, but it still an awesome moment when I air stomped somebody and nobody has ever accused me of hacking even though I usually got above 20 kills with less than 5 death, because no hacker can use air stomp.

@Crytek: if you going to change it into a normal move, just take players who leveled it up to lvl 3 into consideration and reward them with something that worth the effort, it was pretty hard to have air stomp lvl 3 you know.

If it was a general attack that you could to, then i would like it not to say (B air stomp) every time i jump.

air stomp kills are special as they are. they give a very unique flavour to Crysis 2 MP

if its available to everyone then it will lose its flavour and possibly sour

I know how to use it properly which is why I know its not even close to competing with Nano Recharge and Energy Transfer for the Armor module slot.

For you..

Once again, personal preference is key here. Neither of the other modules you have mentioned are mandatory for good performance, with the possible exception of Instant Action mode; in which, quite frankly, if you're airstomping you probably don't want to win.

i've tried to use air stomp a few times and realised its pretty impossible to use xD so i switched to armor enhance and i usualy just walk about with armor mode on so if someone does try to hit me with air stomp i just shoot them while they recovering =) i've been attacked by air stomp about 30 times and survived because i was in armor mode therefore proving the usefulness of it

also i dont even know why its an armor module all the other modules help your survivabilty air stomp more than offten ends up with you killed i dont know about making it into a main ability because i like it when people air stomp me it gives me a good laugh because its so usless =') i think i've an air stomp kill like 5 times i mean if people want to use a useless perk its their loss i say =)

anyone who doesnt like it just laugh about it eh? when they try and kill you then you can laugh about how uselss it is =) it is sweet if someone miraclessly gets a kill with it and i respect the person who can use it properly if it was a general thing i think people would use it a bit too often though

How many situations arise in a game where an Air Stomp is the most optimal procedure for that moment in time? Compare that to how often you get help from Energy Transfer or Nano Recharge.

Sure its possible to do well with terrible module set ups. Just the other week I had 10+ high KDR games without using Armor or Cloak at all. That doesnt mean that some modules are completely outclassed by others within their catagory.

if I ever saw you I would climb higher and air stomp from there, a full power air stomp deal around 220 dmg according to some statistic, see you below me =) xD

yeah generaly when you would be climbing you would get killed and if generaly keep out of the way of tall objects and use proxy alarm so if you came near me i'd be able to react ;D

So, no-one is speaking? In my opinion, Crytek should make Air Stomp available for everyone, that is because it is already inefficient and underpowered. When there was still Crysis 2 demo, for the whole time that demo lasted I got only 6 Air Stomp kills, it was very situational already, and it already had that very long recovery time, and experienced players wouldn't even be tricked from cloaking right after the stomp when it failed and I got killed. Some people even killed me from the air when I was right about to stomp at them from the long fall. I haven't used Air Stomp at all in final release due to that. I suggest that there would be some module that would enhance Air Stomp, if Crytek makes it available for everyone.

Bumb maybe...?

Bumb.

(sarcasm) Your well funny. Wish I could make jokes like that. (sarcasm)

Too valable of a slot to waste on a special jump skill that has terrible accuracy. Rather have a death blossom Suicide option. Jump in group yell "Eat **** and die" and explode taking enemy with you

I think this thread has run its course to be honest and we can see from the poll most people simply think its not worth spending your module slot on.

Air Stomp requires you to play in a certain way to make use of it otherwise the opportunity to use it comes few and far between. People take modules that help their desired playstyle and not many people have a playstyle of camping in high spots waiting for someone to walk beneath them.

Again though ill post my suggestion in this thread.

Currently Air Stomp deals 40 minimum damage and 220 max damage. A Power Jump + Air Stomp on even ground deals 40 damage.

I would suggest making Air Stomp available to everyone while dropping minimum damage to 30 and max damage to 200. Then change Air Stomp module into Air Stomp Enhance..

Rank 1 - Increases Air Stomp damage to 60 minimum and 280 maximum.
Rank 2 - No falling damage.
Rank 3 - Faster Air Stomp recovery.

No don't remove it! I like getting kills off of idiots who think its a valuable tactic!!!!!

I actual have gone back to may original belief on this Module. It is situational but if your a parkour guy who always coming into battle via uncommon routes. I believe the opportunities will arise more than enough to justify your use of it.(No fall damage is so underrated) Also, every time I land an air stomp. I just think of the other gamers face. Makes it more than worth it.

The whole camping on rooftops thing is pure BS. If you go to crash sites via rooftops etc you can usually kill cloaked enemies without having a clue where they are.

I personally love airstomp for it's level 2 buff. The option to live through almost any fall and take no damage is very nice if you love to be a speed hog and agility junky. I never stealth so having the option to take any fall and stride on is nice.

Bumb.
