I don't play Airport, East River or Skyline anymore because these matches have turned into guys racing to grab the poles at the start. No one seems to care that new players that haven't unlocked mobility don't stand a chance. Is this really how everyone wants the games to be played?

I tried the pole at launch and went 31-5 using nothing but the pole. At the time I was still leveling up my guns so I preferred to do that instead. Now that everything is leveled should I just go back to swinging the pole around every match??

What do you guys think?

I don't have a problem with poles, just keep your distance.

No, there's various ways to counter the pole.

Rather, if I die by a pole the first time, shame on you.
If I die the second time, shame on me. There is no second time for a pole user.

It's sad how poles and shields have aim-assist. This enemy threw a pole at this friendly in front of me, and the pole killed him, and the pole flew towards me next...

heh well of COURSE they ruin things. instead of training like a badass, you instead choose to shake your ass in some sleazy strip joint. of course it's gonna hurt ya in the longrun

I'm convinced that was just ONE unlucky shot.

If you think Pole is obnoxious then you should see HMG with Heavy Weapon Pro + Maneuverability.

The speed needs to be reduced.

Its impossible to counter a pole on skyline, but you can always hope that you will see pole user before he sees you. Kinda lame that im forced to throw poles out of the roof lol.
