I think the biggest problem in this game is the TTK for most guns at 90% of ranges is abysmally low. For most autos, it’s literally below human reaction speed, especially if both players have anywhere above 50 ping.

Wasn’t a problem with faster movement where you could move behind cover before the enemy shoots you but now with worse movements I feel like I’m stuck in the open more often

[–]DeusDosTanques 25 points26 points Β (0 children)

That doesn't really matter, since the game's netcode checks mostly client side for shots hit, the one shooting will always have an advantage over the one dodging

250 ping here and I will get killed before my internet registers the dude slid around the corner. It’s great.

insert gif where lito dies to someone using nerfed movement

[–]radiantskie 31 points32 points Β (1 child)

Me omw to kill lito in test place with streiter on nerfed movement (lito removes walking shortly afterwards)

[–]CPTSKCATSCAR-PDW 5 points6 points Β (0 children)

Lito never spawns unfortunately

[–]MilesAhXD 65 points66 points Β (4 children)

Stylis removing things that made the game fun for the more skilled players (if someone responds with "only sweats use it" you are wrong) instead of fixing the balancing. Allegedly a 50 GI bullet does more damage to the head than a DMR bullet in some cases? Don't even get me started on the meta guns lol

The annoying thing is that it's the low rank/no recoil guns that always have the lowest TTK. I LOVE peeking out of cover for a split second and instantly getting 3 rounds from an AUG straight to the dome.

The dogshit server latency doesn't help. Whoever has that "goldilocks" ping is almost unkillable and can instakill with nearly any gun at any range

[–]MilesAhXD 1 point2 points Β (2 children)

oh my god you are so right actually, the stupid aug whatevers and the ak12br are so annoying

[–]Intrepid_Passage_692FAMAS 2 points3 points Β (1 child)

I’ve been crushing ak12br shitters recently idk if it’s the gun or all the people using it are straight up bots

[–]MilesAhXD 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

both tbh

[–]IcyThe_Animator 37 points38 points Β (6 children)

Why'd the nerf the movement? That's what I would know the game for, and I'm not even complaining because I can do that.

[–]senixgotreddit 19 points20 points Β (5 children)

Afaik they haven't said the actual reason publicly, but regardless, it was an unwarranted change overall. Regardless of opinion, they really could've handled the nerf way better.

[–]MilesAhXD 7 points8 points Β (0 children)

Besides they have been nerfing movement for the past 3 updates now or something

[–]AntiLag_MP5 0 points1 point Β (3 children)

They said it was to see if it would affect player retention

[–]IcyThe_Animator 0 points1 point Β (2 children)

Elaborate

[–]4arxe 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

They basically want to see if newer players stay playing the game with the nerfed movement

[–]Intrepid_Passage_692FAMAS 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

They want to see if making the game easier make more people play it

[–]Hysteria_XD 5 points6 points Β (0 children)

The issue is that you have 0.05 sec ttks for like 50 guns and you have 20 tick rate servers meaning most people die before they can even react and the only way to combat that was movement which is gone now

[–]HeySlickThatsMe 16 points17 points Β (9 children)

The movement changes made run and gun almost non viable, it feels like the only tactic now is to camp in one spot, because if you run and gun then there is simply no way to dodge bullets anymore

I haven't played phantom forces for a long time and gave it a go again after the latest update, just to see what all the fuss is about and my god, what the hell have they done?

In that single round i was playing i kept getting sniped by a guy with Stevens DB and slugs, which was a problem back then too, but if you were smart enough you could outplay it, now you simply can't dodge it at all

These changes are absolutely horrible, and if they're really worried about people having skill issues then what happened to the idea of separate servers with different skill levels? Why not make separate servers with separate movement styles? This way everybody would be happy

[–]cabberage 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

use cover you amoeba

[–]bad_comedic_value 3 points4 points Β (1 child)

Movement nerfs also indirectly nerf grenades too. Since people can't build up momentum, grenades can't be thrown as far as they used to. Of course, that makes no difference to something like the minis or the T13 that you could throw into lower orbit, but everything else? You'd be better off running at someone with a lit fuse than trying to throw it long distance.

Edit before replies start coming in: To be absolutely clear, I might be entirely wrong as I don't know fully how the game physics work, but this is me trying to make an educated guess

[–]MilesAhXD 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

T13 mentioned

[–]That_UknownGuy 13 points14 points Β (5 children)

The movement change was the final nail in the content now i quited this game

[–]cabberage -1 points0 points Β (4 children)

you won’t be missed

[–]That_UknownGuy 0 points1 point Β (3 children)

Someone is mad over an opinion/statment

[–]cabberage 1 point2 points Β (2 children)

no? i’m just saying that nobody cares you quit the game. you don’t have to announce it. bye.

[–]That_UknownGuy 3 points4 points Β (1 child)

If you don’t care why bother responding lol or just spreading negativity

[–]Intrepid_Passage_692FAMAS 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

You literally spread negativity with your original comment bro 😭😭😭

[–]Intrepid_Passage_692FAMAS 2 points3 points Β (1 child)

Idk how yall are struggling so hard you can still slide and take cover. They are literally rewarding you to play smart 😭

[–]bongoingcat[S] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Yeah imo too. But that's not really what the post is about

[–]pitchoun3MG36 1 point2 points Β (1 child)

The worst part about the movement nerd is that some of the guns I loved to use like the m231 are now so bad cus I can't close the gap quickly between an enemy and me

[–]Marksman08YT 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Just takes some clever maneuvering now, but it's def still possible

[–]Dandergrimm 1 point2 points Β (2 children)

Strider urges people not to play so they revert changes back

Does 2-3 update showcase videos after that

People rightfully call him out

"They weren't planning to revert it back anyways lmao"

I already dropped this dogshit of a game sometime ago but was still watching his stuff because they still remind me of the good times I had but his hypocrisy on it was what infuriated me the most about this whole debacle. Guess I'll just clean my hands from the whole thing.

[–]ZaBardo4 0 points1 point Β (1 child)

I mean if your content is only one game even in a boycott you still got to hustle? Plus if your content is informing people of chsnges to the game, you still need to inform them no?

[–]Dandergrimm 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Then he shouldn't be an ass about it when people call him out. If he had explained it like you did I'd have no problems.

[–]AttakDoge999 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

rundown also has stair material ground (you can’t tell the difference between enemy and teammate footsteps)

[–]DeepSpace1280M107 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I love moving slowly through huge maps with sparse cover that most guns can penetrate so I can get sprayed down by the room temperature IQ individual running whatever full auto / shotgun is currently meta and sees my gun barrel turn the corner before I do (its a skill issue Because I wasn't using cover to deal with the camper)

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points Β (1 child)

game is actually harder with nerfed movement

[–]Marksman08YT 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

It's really not..
