Full Version: Mechs sliding after falling down
In a game yesterday I saw a Gladiator fall and then start to slide along the ground as he was getting back up. Is this a trick like hitting full throttle when in a crouch? If so, looks like it might come in handy. I have seen light mechs do this, but never an assault.
IIRC it's partly to do with Pings to the server.
I used to gall it "The Green Slide" or "The Erllectric Slide" because it's normally ERLL snipers knocking a light over that causes it.

If you pound G as fast asa you can while you're just falling down after the initial shot, it will cause (normally) what you're describing. That's really annoying in McRugby and CTF.

Or when a certain guy from OK is driving a Flea on Parkhenge. I finally get a shot on said Flea and knock him down only to watch him slide halfway across the map.

It's a lot of fun to go sliding across places like that, used to throw that and superturn together and have a ton of fun.

Yeah, people who do that give me a REAL run for my money when I'm trying to keep a firm missile lock.
Never heard of this phenomenon. Sounds like a hack.

Why do I suspect Mau had a macro to push the G key a 1000 times in a split second? 
You don't? I thought everyone did.
You mean I've been doing it the hard way?

I slide anyway!
So that's what I've been doing when I fall down...geez, I didn't even know what I was pressing to do that.

Gotta agree with a fellow newbie; I rarely have my finger anywhere near "G" and I slide most times ppl whack me hard enough to be *knocked*down*. I'd just thought it was something MekTek put in with their mods - never saw it with the original MW4 mercs, but everytime my little solitare/flea/etc. gets caught, I get my paintjob ruined.
IMO, I think it's realistic - vehicle going 100+kph and then gets toppled by impact, and drops STATIONARY at point of impact? no, it's going to slide.
Oh, and off-topic kinda: I like arm-mounted weaps; when you get knocked down, you can still twist and shoot back at your 'tripper' while working on getting up
