    Then I kick his buddy, then I kicked his orc uncle, then I left the room and kited the rest of his family back into my Orc kickin room and kicked them all into my favorite timber with spikes sticking out of it thing.

    My point is, for me this needs to be tweaked. Why would i swing a sword at a guy 4-8 times to kill him (risking injury) when all i have to do is come "close" to landing a kick and the mob goes flying into spikes or off a ledge, one kick=one kill doesnt seem to me like, "working as it should be".

    You would laugh at my screen shots, im like Bruce Lee in this game.
    I am not much for single player games as the AI is normally predictable and easily beaten by the time i get 20% into most games, so I buy games for the multiplayer aspect alone...probably why I am a BF freak. This seem like it would be a mess in MP with the everyone kicking eachother /shrug maybe it will be fun or counter measures will be had.. but clearly in singleplayer it is was to overpowering.

    I may "not be getting something" but as I said it was easier for me to be Bruce Lee then Leeroy jenkins in this demo.

    well it says = choose your way to kill, and if you think it is boring to kick people into the spikes and impale them, then simply dont do it, btw, you cant do it on the cyclops or other big monsters

    so it is basicly if you wanna have fun = dont use kick on instant kill area's

    (i normally avoid kicking them into the spikes/egde and disarm them as much as possible, then we then go for their weapon i kick them away and kick the weapon over the egde

    I dont think it is boring, I think is funny as heck.

    Like I said i care little of the SP experiance and my concerns are with balance in MP.

    Just trying to bring up what I see are concerns that are hopefully turfed before the big dance.

    Also I may be just "trippin" cause in MP with people flinging arrows and ice I made not eve get into kicking range..

    BUT then again if a warrior come up to a magic user and starts hammering on him, why wouldnt he kick the warrior 8ft and start nuking him..

    just throwing stuff out there..

    I doubt the kick will be very effective in MP.

    You should jab their knee so they cant run then kick them and they fall over on their back you can stab their heart that way. Kick is very powerful heh and I agree kicks should have a reuse timer or something. Many ledges should have stronger wood so they dont just fly through.

    someone said before any successful kick should take 50% of your stamina. I think it's a good idea. Never really thought about kicking in MP. I doubt the same system in this demo will end up in MP.

    One issue I have with the comment "If you dont like it, dont do it." is thats BS. The WHOLE point of a game is to give you a challenge. Yes I COULD use the crappyiest knife the whole game to present myself with a challenge but wait.. I have all this good stuff so I am guessing it is supposed to be used to help me win the game and STILL present a challenge.

    Kicking isnt a weapon, its a function like sprinting..and when I feel threatened im always going to fall back on what i know will allow me to survive. Anyways im a rational thinker.. a lot of gamers are not and will agressivly seek out cheats/exploits to do whatever it takes to get 2 more kills..thats why balance is so important.

    We have all seen what can happen too a game even with a storied name like Battlefield 1942, in BF:V for most of the history of that game on a pub server it was 80% americans vs. 20%VC..and 90% of the blue had a law and a M80 or whatever 99round sniper rifle. No they didnt have to use it, but to not would just be silly, if they want victory.

    Im also curious about the guys saying that the MP will be different..really? The games physics will be different? or do you mean a kick will only sent him flying 2ft instead of 8-30ft.

    Whatever happens I just want it to be balanced so that people will be attracted to it like bees to pollen!! This fps to me is a diamond in the rough, since SoE and EA have bought everyone the quality of games and the originality have dove far into the dumpster..

    I want this very cool very orginal (for an FPS) to do great. I am sure the devs love to hear all sides of all obeservations at least when presented in a somewhat intelligent matter including actual explanations etc. not.. "I died, this game sux!!!1!"
