In Response To: Re: Thoughts on AAs (esp. Bubble Shield and Hologr (Stephen L. (SoundEffect))


: I wonder how tactical it will end up being? When I play matchmaking, most
: combatants, including myself, are jumping and changing directions a lot. A
: hologram will move at (I presume) a uniform pace in a straight line with
: no jumping. Without seeing it in action, I'm inclined to think they may be
: painfully obvious on the battlefield.

Thanks for the explanations. :)

I could see it being used to buy yourself some time to get to cover if you have a sniper pinning you down. Send your hologram one way and you go the other, and then you at least have a 50% chance of not getting shot. Or send it out ahead of yourself if you have to cross a large open area to draw out snipers or people in vehicles looking for an easy splatter.

How well will it deal with obsticles? I would think your hologram wouldn't be convincing if it ran into a wall or off a cliff. Then again, it might make some people thing that you're lagging really bad.
