the strafing experiment vs not strafing
 

commando class, sweep fleet for both times. strafed first, then went nonstrafing. the strafing run was began with no money (trial account). i purchased medpacks while strafing when: my team one and when i returned and when i died. purchased medpacks while not strafing when i returned.
went for kills not bases. 1 bike mine kills while strafing. died both times fighting more then 1 person.
while strafing, took on 2 or 3 attackers with ease. much more difficult without strafing - had to heal.
returned to dropship once on both runs for ammo and health.
enemies strafed at least 40% of the time both runs.

so by pressing the shift key.. i become nigh invincible..


do i really need to say anything else?

Sorry but this is extreme spam.

Yeah this proves nothing. Except that fact that the second time you went onto the map you were more unlucky. If anything this is a way to be ****y about being 12:1...

I got 151:1 with none strafe...if you dont beleive me check the screenshot browser. anyway, this thread is spam.

It's a 1 kill/death difference. How does this prove anything?

This post is tottaly pointless, it shoud be deleated!

So should most of your posts but we're not complaining.

I'm not liking this strafe vs nonstrafe **** going on. Just shut up and play the damn game, strafing is part of zone and was part of the original zone.

Damb straight! (To both statements)
If you PWN n00bs, how can such a simple thing such as strafing get by you?

Id like to see you beat DDC when he strafes with irpular. You wont be able to beat him....no1 can...

An uncontrolled experiment proves nothing. There's no true way to test it... it does help with fighting though.

i know this isnt a perfect experiment, and maybe i just got unlucky.
but irregardless of the scores, i find it MUCH easier to survive while strafing.. and i think that any move/item/weapon/technique/class that gives you a greatly increased accuracy and greatly increased defense (because of suppresion fire) is BAD -- unbalanced.
the game is quite playable without strafing, but it DOES take more skill. ive been fighting with the LRpulsar, no strafe and doing great -- even close/med range. yes, strafing makes it so much easier.. but it makes killing people too easy. there should be more skill needed.. with strafing, it sorta flattens the skill needed to be good, AND it makes running away and shooting VERY easy to do. for crying out loud, just try taking back out strafing and see what happens..

Strafing is cheap but it is open to the public. Their are many things that should be fixed. People consider Strafing and Using Mines strategic when all they do is cause lame.

Well siad jin, its so annoying bein killed by someone who cant even fight so they us mines. Strafin i like tho ;).

this guy said it all...however, u cant do this on 1 test by 1 person...u obviously need a few test subjects, however...but its the same with me...

i dont really care if its kept or not though...because now that i understand it, its extremely easy to overcome...(not to be ****y but...i used to die all the time by strafing XD, now i understand...)

strafing like i said, i dont care anymore...but ixi...you should really not strafe...you among all people shouldnt...i know you...you should be trying to do the challenge with no strafing

however...

mines are DEFINIETELY needed...because its zone...heres the way i look at it...

you 2 say that mines are newbish...your going to have to explain then -_-

cause mines are another strategic move...you say its just used by people who dont know how to fight...well i got news for you guys...

you only really fight in death match...every other server is a TEAM EFFORT...teams...involve strategic moves...mones are definitely important...but i do think they should put a bump in the ground when used...

maybe mine radar could then add how many mines are planted in each spot...

but in the only event where you fight by yourself...BAM...mines dont work unless you trigger them with a grenade...which is obvious to see...

mines arent newbish...they are a strategic strategy...plain and simple...the ONLY reason you should get mad at dying to mines is if your trying to grow a bounty...hence...you shouldnt be in a team event anyway...

i love mines :p yet i dont use them

Strafin aint too bad. I dont like it but it aint that much of an advantage. Mines are just cheap.
