<div class="IPBDescription">jump in circles as marine to win encounters</div>hey guys,
what I find is that as marine humping around like a rabbit on ecstasy in circles makes it almost impossible for aliens to hit you.
add a flamethrower and you are almost invincible...because it has a blinding effect and very decent damage.
I killed off 2 fades and a skulk with only getting hit once on my very own. (in the hallway to East wing from MS on the map rockdown which is kind of narrow to begin with. more open places it's an even more effective "tactic")
absolutley no skill required. just spam jump+hold a+left mouse button and you win almost every fight.
I have no idea how you could possibly fix this but restricting jumping (e.g. a little slowdown after landing). Or an endurance bar.
What are your thoughts to this?
Maybe I see it from the wrong perspective. But that's what I expierienced (as marine and alien) and what "worked" outstandingly.

Of course you can always do what the old battlefield games did - you can't shoot while jumping.
It is much easier to bite an evading marine than it is to shoot an evading skulk.
All of this should improve as the game is optimized and runs smoother.
Anyway, as skulk you need to move jumping to avoid being instant killed, and to get a better kill too.
