Just shut up Pusianka/Dread you're actually insufferable, nobody cares about how much you hate Agent.

Hmm even though I had voted yes for merc jumping , I was still feeling ready to adjust my playing style
to accommodate the lack of jump because in turn perhaps the xbox players are right, that jumping and turning doesn't
require skill, and that I think it would change the face of the game cause peeps who charge , would have to rely on sniping alone ?

These are my thoughts on this matter. Discuss.

You brought up a good point. It seems like the lack of jumping would give a bigger risk/reward to the charge. I like the sound of it in my head, but I don't know how well it will work out actually in game. Not that it really matters since jumping wont lessen the chance of you getting grabbed in PS (at least from what we've heard).

you brought up Dread while he hasn't said a darn thing(I'll smite you for that) and to be just perfectly honest I haven't attacked agent. Even more I wished him honest happy new year. So at that point I gave him back the clean card. Now that I think of it. The post I made might have been useless shit produced because of lack of conversation but your post was just as much useless. That is why I will smite you again.

There's no need for that in here. Unless you're discussing what was last brought up (Risk/Reward for Merc abilities affected by the lack of jumping), then you don't need to post at all.

I don't think there's much point in a Vega sucks option when nobody's seen Vega in like two years.

Shit, half you guys probably don't even know who he is.

Two years my ass.  For the other remark, Brain Golem (noop) is right.  Fuckin change your name back to Noob-Ni or at the very least Noop-Ni.  Or better yet, Spark Mandriller.

Merc jumping is fine.  Just make it so it can't be gay.

That's some very constructive criticism here...

"Being gay" = jumping out of a grab or an attempt to grab.  I like merc jumping because it allowed the merc to interact with the level in unforeseen and usually surprising means.  It was fun shit.

+1 Karma!  I applaud you, sir.  There, now it's even!  But hey, don't let that 3 karma get to your head.  I remember the days when I had 2 karma...wink wink nudge nudge

Wow what an irony I actually have sth to say on this topic after all.

One of the main problems considering lack of jumping is also unabillity to put clever mines. Well it suddenly appeared to my head that we could just throw them on the wall(There was sth like that mentioned in the past) using the gun. If that is implemented, I will feel almost comfortable with the lack of jumping.

Is it possibly gonna be implemented or you're afraid of sth? I haven't thought it over much to e honest.

We have a setting to make grenades stickable. Not sure if that's going to be in the game. Was more a programmer experiment. But 'throwing' mines would be possible in theory, only have to distinguish the throw from the normal placement.

Pusianka, to be honest I think having the sith in the game would be completely overpowered.  I'm not afraid I just think it's a step in the wrong direction. They don't even care about objectives, they only care about power, further complicating the SvM dynamic.
