And 1 last thing... YOU put up a thread asking for peoples opinion on Armour...
Don't take offence when people put up there opinion.. Yes somethings stated were obvious to you, and me, but to people new to game reading the forums it may not be.. so again dont take offence when stuff you already know is stated.. Its not an attack on you and its not how i wanted it to sound!!
I am not insulting your knowledge of game only giving my opinion on the matter!!!

But you are insulting my intelligence by telling very very basic fundamentals of the game which I already know about.

What im saying is coupled with the aim assist its pretty hard not to land 7 consectutive shots on somebody when your gun spits out 7 rounds in a fraction of a second.

Im not saying armour doesnt save me, im saying its a bit stupid when 2 melee attacks or somebody spraying wildly at close range can kill me.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. NO. Seriously ? You sound like a broken record. In practice it works. PERFECTLY. If you don't think it works then YOUR DOING IT WRONG. Ok?

When did I say it doesnt work?

Im saying it feels like a gimmick when I get sprayed down with hip fire or when I get dropped quicker than COD which makes this game feel like a twitch shooter.

Buddy Im not insulting your intelligence so relax already!!! Not everyone one knows all the basic funamentals of games.. SO please just relax with the taking off offence..

How many melee attack should it take.. Considering everyone is wearing the same suit you are? ....
Now considering all the lag issues and and host advantages and so on do you think possibly its just game mechanics considering where you live that make it seem that you get mowed down easier then you should....
Have you been expierencing alot of lag?

Over here in canada I get maybe 1 bad game out of 20.. I have not been expierence alot of the issues that others are getting! How is it on your end?

Im only asking cuz maybe that another possibility on why you may be having trouble where people seem to mow you down to easy?

I have the Feline, it just shreds armor mode.

Yea your definately using it wrong I mean armor is very useful and can be very effective when you put it on at the right time.

It doesn't make you a tank, but it will give you a split second to react and maybe turn the fight into your favor. Putting on when someone is shooting will often not make a difference, but if you put armor on before battle you will be better off.

Look you say that armor doesn't seem to help in battle, but it does based on the fact that people die less quickly when they have it on. This just from my long experience with the game and the demo.
Remember armor is changed from the demo it takes a second to go into full effect so turn it on before battle and if you have trouble doing that then tough ****.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. NO. Seriously ? You sound like a broken record. In practice it works. PERFECTLY. If you don't think it works then YOUR DOING IT WRONG. Ok?

Ok. Ill tell you my experiences. I use a class with a Scar, extended mags, visor enhance and an assault scope (probably my second most used class); I think this is the perfect class to use to see Armour mode's effectiveness. When i shoot at a player without armor, they will consistently die in about 1 to 1.5 seconds. When i hit a player with Armour, that changers to 3 to 3.5 seconds (people will often escape before i can kill them). Thats a big change. The only thing about Armour is thats its important to active BEFORE you begin to take damage. If you activate after you take damage, your base health is already lowered significantly, and even with Armour you will still die fast. (remember Armour mode only absorbs some of the damage, not all (until your health is really low) I really don understand how you've drawn this conclusion, because Armour mode is a really major part of the game, and gamplay would be VERY different without in.

When i go dancing.. i feel good

it makes you resistant to fall damage but other than that it doseent do a lot

It can't be too powerful or else it would be used by everyone all the time.
It's okay for it to give you the edge against someone who doesn't have it, which it does, but it will never be like it is in the tutorial video where the guy takes on 3 people all shooting at him and he kills them all... Advanced Radar for everytime you activate armour? A bit OTT.
Armour is only really useful at range to survive more while you shoot them or against a bunch of guys not using it. At point blank it makes little difference and against the heavier weapons it only really helps you to survive for a split second longer (which could be all you need). If you plan on hit-and-run gameplay you would probably hardly use armour. One of my higher ranked friends is level 3 armour and level 12 stealth... so it is possible to play without using it.

The armour is balanced - you can't just walk round with it on all the time and expect to be invincible. Use it as soon as an enemy opens fire for extra health, it's often the difference between killing and dying. If you're getting shot and make it into cover, put armour on and move back out, the surprise switch to aggression usually bags you the kill, most times they don't even have time to shoot back.

I agree with OP, armour mode is almost useless in most cases. They should make it stronger but last less time or something.

4 shot kill by a SCAR with no armour on, 6 shot kill with armour on and full energy.

Armour is fine Its just the scar thats overpowered.

Alsos the Scar is a two shot kill on a cloaked opponent.

Make it stronger but last less time?!?!?! if you wanted it do something make it drain less energy? At the moment it's perfectly good you don't want it any stronger otherwise everyone will abuse it and just run around going " OMG IM A FKING TANK" spraying everywhere and thinking he is god like, but again he would not be the only one everyone will do it while the stealth people sit at the back watching these pathetic idiots get stealthed killed.

I think armor is useless, I run around with feline, run and gun and have a 2.8 kdr. It's great shredding noobs who think armor does something for them.

Well the current case is everyone is running around noob spraying everywhere with the scar and getting rewarded for it so would it not be better to make people actually have to aim to get rewarded with a kill?

And with the rate of fire of the weapons 3 extra rounds accoounts for absolutely nothing at all.

Armour only works against bad players who cant actually aim and thats a fact, because they are so busy wildly noobspraying that they cant accurately hit you then armour saves your ass.

The only thing armor is good for in MP, is making you stand out as an easy target...especially on night/dark maps.

Armour mode needs more beef in MP...Crytek please address this!

@T4S KR4KKEN
Dude you cryed about the armor for the demo you just need to get better at the game

It helps with fairly far range shooting with Scars... it's easier to tell when someone hits you and actually protects you.

@T4S KR4KKEN
Dude you cryed about the armor for the demo you just need to get better at the game

Yeah I "cried"

Despite the fact the devs actually found there was a problem with it in that it had inconsistencies so I did the community a favour.

All I ever see you do on here is go into peoples threads and tell them to get better at the game when your probably pretty **** at the game yourself.

no cuz if i svcked at it i wouldn't say sh!t.

no cuz if i svcked at it i wouldn't say sh!t.

So the game is perfect in every way by that logic?
