Post » Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:43 am

it's a useless perk that no one uses, vote above or leave a comment saying what it should be replaced with

Honestly I use it with my Marshall class and have gotten some kills wit it( actually a triple kill is my best yet). I do see why ppl see it as useless but it does have some value, especially on crash site. I don't think they should get rid of it but it should be a default for all classes like slide. The value of suit modules such as Armor Enhance far outweigh the value of Air Stomp but it is your choice of what you use and how you use it. For instance I never use anything but Covert Ops for my stealth module but it wouldn't really be fair to get rid of the modules jus because I put the most value on Covert Ops.

Something affecting sliding. Perhaps steering yourself while sliding?

it's usable everywhere, not just crash site, you can't use it doesn't mean everybody else can't either

Exactly. All you're doing by replacing it is rewarding people who can't use it, by giving them a move that they wouldn't dare sacrifice their hack energy enhance perk for.

It doesn't need to be removed, just fixed to make it useful.

I got a 5 kill AirStomp kill the other day - was epic. My screen kept flashing up yellow messages for ages. Busted, Double Kill, Triple Kill, Relentless, Psycho, Maximum Radar, - cant remember what half of them said.

Well since it is an armor perk I would think it fitting to make it something like this:
Shield Enhanced:
1: Armor absorbs additional damage (45%)
2: Armor absorbs more damage (55%)
3: Armor absorbs even more damage (70%)

For any one who does not know armor mode normally absorbs 36% of damage. Armor mode is the class which most people don't value much any more. People don't go in armor mode as much because A) it slows you down B) it makes you super visible and C) it often makes little difference how long you will live (with chest or higher shots it is almost useless). This perk would contend with the other perks and I think people would then feel like they have more of a choice.

Any perk that is complicated to use is of little value except to a select few. Any perk that does not require special training is preferred.

Just makes sense as a perk is like a parking spot, not required to flip you car into it like Ace does it. You see the point?

I do not need to do a bunch of special hand wiggles to use stealth or armor modes.

Rooftop gardens, stealth sniping on top of the building works well to get the drop on the battle inside. It also make the elevator fall a little less painful if you use it.

It's not complicated at all. It just requires a little skill.

Honestly, it's that attitude which leads to stupid **** like powers being 'streamlined'; which is just a fancy name for dumbing the game down and makign it incredibly easy.

The only customisable aspects should be weapons and possibly the extra armour on the outside of the N1.5
The module idea is a joke, and just removed thigns like fast reload and steady aim, which were basic N1 functions depending on which mode you were in.

Factor in latency, and hitting a moving target with air stomp = borderline impossible (plus you could've just killed him with your gun 10x more easily). Hell even hitting a STATIONARY target is hard enough, you need a ton of practice to get the distance right.

The kill-radius of Air Stomp needs to be drastically increased. I literally /rofl when I see some newb's failed air-stomp attempt land him 1 meter in front me :P
Also, the ridiculously long recovery-time needs to be removed. Your whole camera faces the ground for like 2-3 seconds, by the time you can get up someone else has killed you.

The recovery time is ALOT faster when you have Airstomp lvl 3. ;)

the air stomp is great, nice to have something different in the game.
takes a bit of practice but its sooooo satisfying when you kill someone with it
for the people that dont like it, dont use it.. simple!

It doesn't need to be removed or replaced, just made to work better.

Funny story, this guy kept trying to air stomp me in a match the other day but he missed every time and I killed him on the down time. It was so funny because he tried it like 4 times and the same thing happened every time. One of the times I was actually looking down and texting (so I wasn't moving for a second in game) and he still missed, I heard the noise, looked up and killed him.

Lol, if the guy cannot hit a stationary target, it's time for him to start playing another game..

Lol, if I am actually trying to use airstomp I get my ass handed to me. If I am powerjumping arcross some area and there is a dude below I just hit "v" and crush his ass. Otherwise I land in a crouch in armor mode and relieve him of his existence with my scar. Xbox360, not pc, internet svcks too badly to play at my house although I am MUCH better on PC as proven by campaign alone when I hand out the pain on post human on pc like I do on the lowest one on the xbox.

In my opinion this topic is pointless . If you don′t like air stomping, don't use it, you can put other ability instead of it.

Someone told that Air Stomp should be default part of nanosuit not perk (like slide). I have to agree...

No guys Air Stomp is the Ultimate Parkour move. The last update on PC makes the get up time at level three nothing....meaning you can enter the battle field with it. Just look above your head you fools I am coming.
