Auto-Armor

Post » Fri Mar 08, 2013 6:51 am

Auto-Armor is far too overpowered.

First off, it should not activate right when the first shot hits, but rather right when the second shot hits. This is especially a pain in the *** when I use the Predator Bow. Not only do I have to line up another shot, but I also have my position given away, and I get killed.

Also, I think there should be a rank limit (meaning that when the player reaches a certain rank, they can no longer use it). I've seen players who are ranks 25+ and they STILL use it.

Oh, and when you are in the VTOL, using the mounted HMG, you can't use armor. But, if you are using Auto-Armor, armor activates. Please fix this.

At the risk of sounding whiny about it, I agree. I don't think it necessarily always puts you at a disadvantage when the enemy is using it and you're not, but it definitely does at times. Yeah, this was in due to me not aiming my shots very well for maximum damage, I suppose, but there have been a few instances where I run up on a guy with his back turned to me, I start shooting him, his auto armor activates, he spins around, and kills me pretty damn fast. Of course, I didn't activate my armor, which I suppose I should, but I kind of figure if I'm shooting a guy continuously in the back without him initially knowing I'm behind them, I should have a good chance at killing him before he spins around. Not always so with auto armor. And it's happened enough times for me to take note of it. I definitely don't always lose a fight when going against someone with auto armor (and I never use it), but there are plenty of fights I've been in that I'm pretty sure I would have won if the enemy had to have activated his armor manually, rather than automatically.

I like the rank limit idea, but I highly, highly doubt that'll happen.

I feel like at this point I'm whining about it, but I do feel that it was a mistake to put in the game, and I know a lot of people have said the same when the Beta was out. Guess it's just one of those frustrating things we'll have to put up with to enjoy the game. Pretty much any multiplayer game has at least one of those things.

The bow would be way too easy to use if you removed Auto Armor. Really, the only thing that makes the bow much of a challenge is having to hit people twice. Why would anybody use a sniper rifle when the bow one-shots everything?

Yeah I took Auto Armor off all my classes and got completely ****ed by bow users. It immediately went back on.

Yea.. Auto Armor is for scrubs and noobs. I wish it weren't even an option. Force people to use the buttons like everyone else, like everyone had to in Crysis 2
