Maybe so, but ping limited servers are surely the easy option? It would be genius for a game to work for everybody no matter their location, & the guy who figures that one out will deservedly become very rich…
And perhaps I am being harsh, they ain’t all bad, but they do come out with some garbage too that then becomes mainstream & leads to a crap nerf/buff/change while other stuff doesn’t get addressed.
The bayonet charge being fixed is an awesome move. If they fix spawning on dead teammates next the game would be near perfect. Those are two most annoying deaths in the game.
Since when was bayonet charge ever a fun mechanic? Especially from a standing position 5 feet away? There’s absolutely zero reason it should have ever had any damage reduction as well.
Grenade spam was a legitimate problem. Use your gun.
Sentry healing trains do exist in TDM/DOM. It’s my primary game mode, and I always follow sentries around healing them when I play medic. And I see enemy medics do the same all the time for their own sentries. That said, I don’t think anything regarding the sentry or healing them needs to change. It works exactly how it should work. A sentry and medic team is a force to be reckoned with. If someone doesn’t like that, then just get to the sentry kit first. Not like it’s difficult to kill a sentry anyways… knife to the back, bayonet charge, gas grenade, concentrated fire from a few teammates, AT rockets, etc.
Honestly, I don’t think the YouTubers really have that much direct influence on DICE. They do however have a lot of influence on their followers. Which then turns into all of their followers flooding the various forums for these games complaining about the same “issues” that the YouTubers bring up.
Yes I agree, should have been now at launch. (The point was a guy moaning about grenade spam whilst spamming grenades all over the place)
Strangely enough you do see more medics helping out the sentry in TDM now. There was a time when your sentry could be bashing your medics round the face & they still wouldn’t give him a band aid!
I started playing video games on the NES. This game is the kind of thing I would have sawed my leg off for as a kid. My threshold for near perfect isn’t probably as high or as unrealistic as some people’s may be.
If you look closely in the video,(20 sec mark)to my immediate left you will see my team mate drop dead from an invisible/soundless bayonet charge followed immediately by me getting knifed by that same invisible player.
Just watched a new video of him with the Scoped Martiny Henry variant and he’s going for bayonet charges and complains while playing it off as he goes on a montage.
He can’t help it.
But I will say his videos do show legitimate arguments for the most part.
