Transporters in multiplayer games

Post by Forgon »

Do you like transporters in multiplayer games?
Or would you prefer if they were disabled for the next release?

Please tell me about your experiences, since I do not play multiplayer
games. My suspicion is that transporters encourage shady tactics.

Why the need to remove transports?

Removing features from the game is not the way to enhance the game.

I'm agreeing with berg here. :)
You already removed the quit menu which was the good feature in game.

whether players use them regularly for tactics that are considered fair.

Okay. Transporters won't be changed.

When transporters were wearing a VTOL HMG it was a valid strategy to spam cyborg transporters instead of vtols. After all, that's a powerful weapon (much more powerful than a normal HMG), a lot of HP, and no need to reload.

Removing the gun was enough of a nerf.
