Gaming Keyboard: Bomber perk in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

Bomber perk in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
This has been one of the very bad thoughts in the earlier games (Call of Duty 4 is the first to leap to mind). Why add something to this game? As if to punish the poor guy who manages to live through an attack of Marine Assault, then you have to worry about the blast jet packs? That is simply absurd.

Yes, no player should be rewarded by death, or punished for not dying. Space Marines should not be the dirty fighting style insurgency. I thought the reason this game did not have a cover system or enemy weapons, pick-up was because the Space Marines not to resort to tactics dishonorable. Suicide bomber platforms seem pretty dead man, a space Marine. Not to mention a terrible idea for multiplayer shooters.

I generally dodge roll away later than each time I kill an assault or raptor out of custom. But yes I odium it too. As if the insta kill hammer perk wasn't sufficient to be anxious about.

Icon on the screen of a jetpack red / orange with an arrow pointing in the direction that is and there is no frantic beep tells you it is about to explode. And it is still thick. It had nothing to do with the mechanics of individual gratification. I understand how it works. I'm saying it's a terrible thing to put into action games, and completely out of character for the setting.

Please remove pos COD after profit has no place in the Space marine or any game really. Or at least that is some kind of big blind is not a plasma cannon blast resistance 1shots devastating someone else to complete CV with halo.

Reduce by half the range or damage and is fine. ATM is stupid, if you cannot make a PERFECT body roll away entirely, you're dead, period. So if you are not playing with the Army and suffer the least possible delay, period is dead.

And I do not see why a player should be punished for surviving a gank Raptor / ASM slotted only to die because "Vengeance Troll" and some invisible wall ramp / stupid teammate happened to block his roll. I have enough ASM / Raptors to hit with melee attacks when rolled behind them (without delay according to the game.). The following is a sample spam Deathcam type attacks in the opposite direction of his body.

I'm not a fan of this benefit is. There is no worse feeling than taking a group of enemies and survive on their own, only to stumble with a jetpack explosion and die. Furthermore, the range that is ridiculous, I skipped horizontally away from him as a Marine Assault and still affected by the instability of killing.
