it was good, gave a good option to the attackers. attacking was more like in football. the attacker sprints past the defender, someone else plays him a ball there at the same time, there you go

just the timing design of that thing wasnt too good, i never was happy with it, but it has serious potential

the idea was that your srpit runs out so you need to ration it for when you really need it :)

ya, the timing was not good, and we had this jump problem where it could be abused if we did it wrong

I loathe bounce. Fine for passing but now you can hold rmb and then volley - taking away the timing aspect of volleying. Utterly skill-less. I think if you do that the volley should be 50% as powerful, but gah, it'll never happen.

Although I never played DB without it, surely volleying is the best addition. I can't imagine playing without it.

bounce + volley is good. earlier it often did randomly not work (volley i mean) because you caught it or something due to ping stuff, now it works as you want it.
and there is no abusive lameness

Me = the old noob

I remember downloading and loving 1.1. played it all the time until 1.5 come out. After that release for some reason i lost interest in the game and didnt come back until 2.0.

All i can say is i love the deathball and will never stray again. :D

players.

edit: enough players
