Thought on Power Mode

Post » Sat May 15, 2010 9:36 pm

Hey, guys. I'm posting this to start a discussion on Power Mode. As we all know, PM is activated simply by pressing RB. In my opinion, the developers made it way too strong. If you try to kill someone in power mode without using it yourself, you will most likely fail, as the person can just easily turn and kill you. I assure you it is not just me being bad at the game, i mean I have a 2.56 K/D ratio. But it gets me aggravated when im on a spree and then as I turn the corner, i run into a person running around in Power Mode, and they kill me because of the God-Like abilities it gives you. It simply makes you almost unkillable in a 1v1 firefight against someone who is not using it. In my opinion, they should lower its power, or make it a bigger drain on Energy than it is. What do you guys think?

1) This isn't CoD, learn to use the suit dynamics or go play said franchise

2) You mean to say Maximum Armor, the "Power" classification is general "sprint" movement, super jumps, steading aim, kicking cars, & grabbing/throwing

3) MA reduces damage to 33%

Well, actually it reduces damage to 35%. And I didnt say take maximum armor out, all I said was that it's a little overpowered. I think 35% extra health is a little much, Its on the border of 50%!

Chill out dude. All im saying is that its a little too tweaked. Its not like Im saying BULLETS TAKE TOO LONG TO KILL ALL THE TIME, THERE ISNT A PERK TO SPRINT FOREVER, SNIPERS SHOULD BE ONE HIT KILL ALL THE TIME, etc.

honestly dude...all i see is that you are a cry baby...learn to use the suit modules...and 35% and 50% are a BIG difference...i think you're just a rant queen...and it isnt hard to click LB and turn armor on if you see someone with armor on...i know i do this and win most gun fights :) just learn to play the game rant queen

Well you can use mobility enhance, and I know you can't sprint forever but that's good b/c it still makes you play a little more tactical. And snipers SHOULD NOT be one hit kills. Or at least not the DSG (I haven't unlocked the gauss yet). But the DSG is semiauto and has a pretty short time between when you can shoot 2 shots making it very possible to kill your enemy but still it makes you work a little. One hit kills would get annoying really fast. If there was a bolt action sniper than I would agree with one hit kills. This is similar to the M21 and L96 in COD. M21 is semi and generally doesn't have OHK while the L96 is bolt actioned and does have OHK for the most part. The only difference is that the DSG is much more accurate than the M21.

Power mode is passive suit mode!!! When you are running Power mode is on, or give power melee (multiplayer doesn't have it) or when aiming down the sights, click LS, to get power aim

RB = Cloak
LB = Maximum Armor (the mulitplayer version is with more health) where Singleplayer version it acts like shield

I would say it's UP. With maximum armor you're lit up like an X-mas tree, so anyone within range starts to fire on you. Especially true in 1v1. Always get tag-teamed after I finish my first kill. In addition, I don't notice (may be connection) any great defense - still get taken out with two shots while my previously cloaked opponent is laughing their a$# off. Ex. Maximum armor, run across a cloaker, he unloads - dropping all his energy and me. IMO opinion - cloak is the winning play style - but I can't bring myself to sneaking around. In cloak you lose all energy but you get an additional few rounds to the opponents head. Armor just makes for an easy target.
