Auto Grab @#$!!

[BEAR]

Auto Grab;Dont know if this has been suggested yet, but its a pain in the ass  when you jump on a mercs head but the auto grab takes over, would it be possible to hold the forward key to grab a ledge and if you dont want to grab press backwards key or something like that :)

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

Well, grabbing a ledge in the middle of the fall is good.
At least when the merc is stupid enough to berzerk.

Just make it so that auto-aim is off if you hold the crouch button.

[Farley4Fan]

Yeah, it should auto grab the whole time.  Except when you are holding down a key.

[Overstatement]

Holding is annoying. Why not just press a button and it applies for the rest of the jump? I'm never going to remember doing it anyway. For me, autograb messing up a jump happens less often than someone hacking electricity on club.

You guys know that pressing/holding crouch in midair makes you crouch when you land, right? Also works for taking your gun out.

More Edit: When was the last time you saw an autograb coming? Doesn't it always happen unexpectedly?

Imo, this isn't much of a problem either.  But having that extra ability just for those few times would be nice.

Yeah, but what does that have to do with autograb?

I can see them coming.  Sometimes.  Like half of the times that an autograb happens I can see it coming.  Again, this isn't much of a problem.

Because everyone was suggesting holding down the crouch button in midair. Courching is the last thing I want to do if I miss a merc's head.

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

Well, if you were crouched before the fall (considering it's a fall, not a jump) on the merc and miss, you can still press C (crouch) once (to get standing position) and hold TAB (roll) and W (forward) to get the 'speedroll' going on.
Imo - useful.

[Overstatement]

It's just that during midair, one button does two different things. Don't grab a ledge and crouch (or stand straight) when you land. Makes it counterintuitive.

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

Well, in CT i never happened to grab a ledge by mistake, rather the opposite happens.
Also not-grabbing a legde would require some animating, since you would still hit the wall.

i've only had it mess me up once since i started playing again.
I was jumping forward along side a ledge and it grabbed it :(
Also i think that pulling your self up should be a little faster ...

That doesn't really matter, because you don't want to crouch anyways if you intend to jump on a merc (you want to run away, probably). If no merc is near, you won't need it at all, you'll have the time to grab the ledge and slide down.

AUTO- GRAB
Auto-grab always been a problem in Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory, so I strongly suggest that you should need to hold the "A" (grab merc/ action) button in mid-air. If I'm right, this button can't normally be used in mid-air. This will be more interactive this way and more natural. Assassin's Creed is totally boring because everything is done automatically.

The only problem would be if you assigned an air-attack to the spy.

AVOID FALLING DAMAGE
It will be a lot more interactive and fun if the players can avoid a part of the falling damage by Pressing the Crouch button while landing.

I like the autograb and cant remember situation when I died because of it.

i can think of a spot, try jumping into the water area of club house, coming out of 1st floor garden, you will grab the next rail over ..........
