Object Running: Dishonourable Practice?
#1
Posté 27 janvier 2013 - 09:23
Recently I've seen more and more occurences of object running. Normally when you get an object you have to walk it back to your LZ. This makes you an easy target and means your team should step up and defend you. Slowly but surely making your way back is a great exercise in tension and teamwork. Yet lately I've noticed players appearing to spam the spacebar key (or through some other method) to run across the map with the item jumping on and off their backs. I think this is absolutely outrageous and though probably doesn't break the rules of the game, certainly is against the spirit of it. The privelidge of carrying the object over should be balanced by the hazard it entails.
That and the noise is irritating...
Thoughts?

It's not possible to mash A (or X) repeatedly for the same effect?

Yes but then they can't steer their character with the right analogue stick.Arni90 wrote...

So I'll do it and not give a rats arse.
When the devs say ''no'' I'll stop.

It's possible to run with that objective on both PS3 and Xbox, it's just harder.
I've seen InvaderOne's friends do it on Xbox, not sure if I've seen them do it on PS3.

It's just clever use of game mechanics.
I would do it if I could do it, I've tried, but it was just a pain

Is it dishonorable to increase your team's chance of getting paid?
"Haulin' ass and gettin' paid."
I kind of see it like this...
Yay, winning! Sure. But it kind of loses the true taste of victory.

No. It comes by every week ...Images wrote...
Probably an ancient topic but...*shrug*
Devs approved, so I do it.

When I mess up the rhythm my teammates pick it up immediatly and start walking slowly toward the LZ, refusing to "give it back" to me, despite my efforts on the mic. Maybe they think I'm a cheater?

It is, but it's way more difficult. I've never seen friends doing it, let alone PUGs. Personally, I prefer to headbutt my way across the map instead.

I always expect to here "FLAG DROPPED,FLAG TAKEN, FLAG DROPPED,FLAG TAKEN" when someone runs it.

It really is just clever use of game mechanics.

Yeah one of my buddies knows how to do it but mostly with an Asari its the easiest. I personally dont know how to do it in all honesty. Even if I did Im not doing it. Kind of feels like a cheat in a way but I dont judge those who do it as long as the devs have not said that its a cheat/glitch I'll stay neutral. On my part...not doing it and dont really feel I need to to get a game completed.

If I can manage to run a package under those conditions, I don't feel dishonorable at all.
Also Bryan Johnson does it so direct your outrage at him.

PS3 here, and I do it all the time, not as smoothly as the PC master race though.

Its possible on consoles. Not as easy but is possible and it is not a bannable offense as far as I know.
