Do you think 203 dropshots should be removed - The Thread?
« on: Tuesday, March 03, 2015, 03:56:57 AM »
I've added a new poll, asking you what you think about 203 drop shots.

I'm not sure what solution we would choose to disable 203 dropshots, I think we have a couple that would get the job done.

Use this thread to discuss what you think of 203 dropshots.

I think you talk about long distance 203 that you cant see were it fals.  Than wat is the alternatieve.
If this is what i think than on border we quess sometimes were the player runs to on long distance. So we need it

What I mean by drop shots are not really long distance, but rather shots that are higher than they are long.
I straight up is 90 degrees, and straight from is 0 degrees, perhaps 75-90 degrees should count as 203 drops.
The exact degree will be experimented on, to find the angle where it counts as a drop.

Why would dropshots be forbidden when long spamshots are allowed?

I don't know, what do you think?
That is why I added this thread, to get feedback.

I've only used dropshots 2-3 times in my AA career. I remember I tried to 203 someone over the main entrance on pipe. I obviously failed miserably, but it was a fun try :D

What I just thought would be fun is that if you know someone's following you then to 203 the sky and see him blow up a minute later or something :D

I do believe it's not possible to do dropshots on most (if not all) newer maps. The ceiling is just in the way. Urban Assault with 203's or rockets is a good example - you can see it explode in the map ceiling.

If you stand below the hill whit your 203 is possible to peg a player uphill. So thats a drop shot up to hit one

I do not see why people want it removed
- Smart players will be able to dodge it
- Less straight 203s to your face, let them waste them
- Only people sitting at certain obvious spots all the time will get killed.

Why remove it?

x2

While playing floodgate people would throw a nade over side of building, never seeing an enemy, at start simply because they know people spawn there. So I tried sending a 203 drop shot back to them with nothing ever exploding. lol  oh well.
I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

I voted "no". I don't eaven remember how to do most of them, but I support all the players that are still able to do them.

Becides, they are not Always spamshots. On Bridge, when en enemy is on middle top, I still know how to hit the middle top with a dropshot. I see this as a skill and I only do it when I know that there's an enemy on top of middle.

Are you talking about all maps or just bridge?
Words are great possed but the tune is crap. A condeming fear strikes down
Things they cannot understand. An excuse to cover up weaknesses that lie within Lies
Laying your guilt and pain. On people that had no part in the molding of a life
That creates its destruction. Lies. Right before your very eyes
A reflection of the mistakes. To the end you will deny. Your part in the demise of a life
Lack of comprehension. Thriving on your cliche. Compelled by self-resentment
Reaching into the minds of those that created. The depression in which they
In which they drowned their flesh and blood. Lies. So easy to blame the
Everlasting fear on a pathetic attempt. To justify the ending of life. Lies
Right before your very eyes. A reflection of the mistakes. To the end you will deny
Your part in the demise of a life
Lack of comprehension. Thriving on your cliche. Compelled by self-resentment
