I don't get why some people are biching about Air Stomp. My friend invited me to try out the mp of the leaked beta and I actually had a double kill with this skill. I think it's a nice skill and the the higher you fall the more damage you'll do, it's that simple. Sure it could do a bit more damage but to be honest, I don't really mind if it stays like this :)

increase the blast radius and it should be a 1 hit kill.. cause if you miss... you're stuck in an animation that leaves you a "free kill".. as for the demo.. it svcks.. the blast radius or damage is so puny.. I ditched the perk for something more useful. Although.. the trailers show that the blast radius or damage was increased cause he took out 4 guys in 1 stomp..

When I first initially played the demo I thought the stomp was far too weak from shorter heights. However toward the end of the demo period I was really starting to get the hang of it. Air stomping from the apex of your jump as well as activating armor mode is key for dishing out maximum stomp damage

I still don't think its as powerful as the "be strong" video suggests when the player stomps an AI standing right next to him, but SP and MP can balance air stomp out in different ways, so having it that strong for MP I believe it would be abused.

A radial stun, to balance out the cooldown penalty, or shortening the cooldown penalty would be nice.

It should stay the same but instead be moved to a general ability instead of taking up a module.

Air stomp needs a slightly bigger radius and more splash damage where targets closer to the point of impact are killed and targets further away will be stunned or knocked down.

I dont know why people think air stomp is weak because once you get good at it you get kills real easy with it especially with the upgrades.

The main thing is that you have to be at least one story above them to kill them and you have to aim it right. Also the air friction it gives you is really good.

I really like it. It gives new meaning to height in levels. The only thing I don't get is that you HAVE to jump before you can use it (or have I missed anything?). I mean when I just run off a cliff/roof I can't use it...

Technically its the Superman/ Incredible Hulk "Ground Pound", don't know why they call it the Air Stomp since your not stepping down on anything...

Honestly before I switched my armor ability I rarely used it, but when I did get a kill with it, it felt amazing. It serves its purpose and I like that. I've also heard there's an upgrade you can get to increase the damage. If you perform enough air stomps you get the upgrade.

Also, let's share our our best air stomp kills. Here's mine. I was shooting a guy by the rectangular garden between the cylindrical greenhouses on the bottom level. He moved forward and behind the building down there. I jumped from the roof of the big greenhouse at the top of the map down and air stomped him. I really wish I could've recorded it :D

I don't play in the demo yeat, cose i don't have poorly boxes, but i think if game move to far from reality phisycs it's make the game more kid's style (like super mario or similar). I mean it's not good for crysis type of game
