Post subject: PLEASE nerf the Bow Posted: 03 02, 2013 /05:55 |

I fell in love with this game when I got it (pre-ordered through NewEgg) and how different it was from my usual MP games (CoD mainly). Until everyone started using the bow I NEVER saw people camping. Had more fun with this game in those few days than I have on CoD in years. But now that every lobby has half the players using it all they do is sit in a corner cloaked and one shot people. I figured I'll try the CELL vs. Rebel modifier since there's no cloaking and it's even worse, people just sit in bushes and wait. I've gotten killed multiple times through objects from the bow, there's not even drop on the arrow, I mean really who dies from an arrow to the ankle from across an entire map? The bow ruins the run n gun fast paced play style I (and I'm sure many others) fell in love with and makes it more like find the bushwookies and hope they don't left click while looking at you.

Amen. Or at least change the number of shots in the foot it takes. I've been OHK in the foot several times. Really ruins the game for me. Now I play on CVR so no armour mode for me. But still, it really upsetting when someone shoots you from across the map in the foot and one hit kills you.

The bow does not shoot through objects. Don't even watch the kill cam if you aren't going to understand how they don't ever show what really happened. Half the time everyone in my killcam is sliding around the floor dead for the animation! Dont touch the bow.

It is annoying but... maybe change it so its only a ohk from the waist up or something in armor mode. The game is still great though no doubt.

By through objects I mean going completely through walls, they can't even see me. I know the killcam is seriously buggy but when it's happened multiple times it's not just a bug. For the regular game it should only be a OHK to the head/chest area, everywhere else a 2HK at least. A supersoldier isn't going to die from a few arrows to the feet. With armor mode on it should be at the LEAST a 2HK. CELL vs. Rebel should remain a OHK for most the body except limbs, I can't believe how many times I've been killed across the map where the arrow barely grazes my leg (I know this goes back to the buggy killcams but they can't be THAT off).

Just remember ppl who use that thing usually dont fare so well in mp... they just get a couple of good shots off and then get stomped on usually. Im not saying it isnt annoying and maybe a little nerf could be done but its def not gamebreaking. I know when i want to go negative i use the hunter bow =P

The bow currently is a 2 hit kill if you're in armour mode (with the exception of a head shot but all snipers including the fast firing DSG will always kill with a head shot). People complain about bow power even though it's no different from the gauss, which is also a 1HK without armour but I never hear complaints about it. I like the one hit kill from the waist up if you're not in armour though for both the bow and gauss and I do feel the bow needs a slight increase in draw time, but it's not nearly as OP as some people claim. Also your claim of it shooting through walls is complete **** and you clearly don't understand the problems with the kill cam and how there is a lot of delay on it also. But if you're having trouble with bow/gauss snipers in a match just play more carefully and run around in armour or stealth mode on more than just nothing.

No need of nerfing the bow... If you're gonna nerf the OHK weapons, then remove Auto-Armour. The thing that does annoy me is the amount of cloaked camping bow guys, though it's not a realllllllllyyyy big issue because they normally just stay there. ;P

No matter how frustrating it is to get 1 shotted by archers, they're rarely at the top of the scoreboard. Unless you're a 'bottom feeder' kind of player, you should be doing better than them.
