Right now, the Combat Intuition perk looks great to me, as I normally just assume I won't get shot from where a group of my teammates are, but time again I am flanked that way.

Battle Hardened: Increases your health by one pip.
Combat Intuition: Allows you to sense when an unseen enemy is about to fire at you.
Downed Fire: Lets you fire at enemies when you are incapacitated.
Sense of Perspective: Sense of Perspective snaps your view to 3rd person perspective while you complete objectives, allowing you to watch your own back.
Silent Running: Silences your player character's movement. Footsteps and the shifting of gear cannot be heard.
Grenade Shooting: Allows the player to shoot his or her own grenades in midair, prematurely detonating it.
Sprinting Reload: The player can reload their gun while running.
Sprinting Grenade: The player is capable of throwing a grenade while running.
Supply Max Increase: Increases

You forgot to mention something important about Silent Running.

When you run without it, you show up on enemy radar. It helps keep a sneaky player hidden.

For me, it was a close toss-up between Battle Hardened and Silent Running, but I went with Silent Running because I'm hoping to be avoiding getting shot - the extra health, while I WILL be taking it, is more of a contingency measure than a major focus of my build.

I chose sense of perspective, simply cause you actually get to see your character in all his glory!! >:3

Annnnd in terms of usefulness it would put my paranoid mind at ease while setting bombs and such :3

I voted Supply Max Increase because you could always use more (insert ability that requires a pip to use here)

I was struggling between Combat Intuition and Downed fire, but went with the Combat Intuition,
because then you'll have a better chance at downing the opponent and you won't need the Downed Fire ;)
Well that how it goes in my little perfect world anyway :D

Sense of perspective was also a good choice, but if you have your teammates watching your back,
than it's not that useful, unless you're an Operative behind enemy lines, then it might help :)

Our Ninjas are gonna love Silent Running :D

I choose all the ones that have to do with running, Being a silent heavy will be awesome, and being able to fire and throw grenades while sprinting will be epic.

running silently/staying off the map will be probably the MOST important out of these perks/abilities w/e they're called.
i MAY use that, but i'll probably definitely use the sprinting reloading or w/e :)
i hope they have one that decreases reload speed :)

I'd personally swap 2 and 3 around.

But that's just me.

To me, the skill depends on what class i'm playing. Battle hardened seems to be the best for general utility.

Silent running and combat intuition are my 2. I will probably play light operative and the combat intuition will be a huge plus. Before they start to shoot I can run away and flank or something along those lines.

Reload while sprinting

there will be times were it saves your life being able to sprint and reload..most people won't notice it happens but leave off that ability entirely then see how much an impact it makes

Sense of Perspective will be the most fun to use, but Downed Fire will be the most useful IMO.

Silent running because it is what we ninjas do. Pity it unlocks so late.

Sprinting Grenade: The player is capable of throwing a grenade while running.
Supply Max Increase: Increases


Aaargh! They're all so good! I can't decide!

I think it'll depend on body type and class. For example, the extra health might be good for Lights and the Silent Running might be good for Operatives. (Not saying
that other classes/body types can't have those, I'm just saying it would be an extra help towards those particular body types and classes as an example.)

Hmmm... For me, for my kind of gameplay style (not subtle, in-your-face, non-stealthy, like to be aware of enemies at all times, panicky/paranoid shooter, lol), I would choose to "watch my back", so Combat Intuition and Sense of Perspective sound really good for me. In third place, either the Battle Hardened or Supply Max sound good---extra health or supplies wouldn't hurt--especially for a Medic (and part-time Soldier). ^_^

The worst ones for my type of gameplay style would be Silent Running (because I am not stealthy at all, I run around like an idiot a lot, and I will probably be the brightest colored person there, lol....so I will end up making that ability useless maybe?), and maybe Sprinting Grenade....because I tend to have "accidents" with grenades (I hurt myself often for some reason.....). :tongue:

I'd say Supply Max Increase. The difference between having 1 grenade and no grenades can be pretty massive.

-snip-

I really approve of the way you emphasised the value for your playstyle, rather than claiming that your opinion was better than other people's. My playstyle wouldn't gain as much value from your choices, but I can see how a different approach to the game would require different abilities. Very well said.
