Ghost mode unbalanced?

Over the past 2 years, I've been playing Cross Fire on and off and yes, I have played from the time that Subagames owned Cross Fire. I have also read many things on the internet about Cross Fire and heard that Cross Fire overall was "suckish". I do not agree with this. There are others who say Cross Fire sucked ever since it was sold to z8 games. I do not believe this either. The new anti hack system is currently impossible to bypass which makes the game so much better then a year ago when the game was full with hackers, when 6/10 players were hacking. However, the melee ZP weapons make the game almost as "suckish" as people say.

I mostly play GR in ghost mode and am very good at it. However, since the invention of axes and shovels GR could hardly ever win. Even if someone on GR had a ZP gun, the axe and shovel still manage to unbalance the game. This is because the axe and the shovel simply have too much range and with lag they hit even further. I am not saying if you have an axe or a shovel in ghost mode you are invincible; I have killed many "ZP noobs" while playing as GR.

I suggest disabling the use of melee ZP weapons in ghost mode completely or putting more weight into the weapons so that they slow you down a lot. Right now, a ghost with a shovel or axe moves faster than a GR with an m4a1 making them almost invincible in teams of 2 or more.

Please do something about this unbalance, it is making ghost mode not fun for GR.

    Assuming you're talking about only the SG/Z8 version.

    It doesn't really matter what weapons the ghosts use. If you're good at GR they never get near you. Although recently I've noticed that the breath down as been buffed hard for some reason. You literally can't hear it until after you've stood on then or exactly right next to them for 1-2 seconds.
  • I actually think of it the other way, it's unbalanced on the BL side. Breaths are to easy to hear, even with the spraying.

    Maybe I should send you a replay? You're right, if you're skilled some ghost with an axe or shovel can't get near you but breath and footstep noise down is really buffed, and you can hardly hear them at all. Thus with 2 or more ghosts with axes or shovels rushing you, you will surely die.

    Rarely anyone uses it. Another thread was created complaining about how BL is imbalanced.

    i think its perfectly balanced, axes and shovels aren't problems for me, just jump away as soon as they rush and mow them down, just make sure to keep dodging them

    You're playing in pubs with not good players. :)
  • crossfire is not suckish tho who would think it is?:O

    even against clans such as pan[th]ers (many times they will hear my breath if the path isn't direct tho), also on some of the very best gm players i know; masterbrett being an example, we all know hes famous ;p.

    Just because they're know and famous doesn't make them the best. :)

    never said he was the best, just saying that he is a very good player and one who can be quite difficult to kill, especially if you can't bunny well.

    Err, I don't think you've played as GR. Ghosts move faster than you plus shovels and axes do long range. Plus you just admitted that it is hard to spot ghosts because of b hop...

    @Goddish Are you saying i suck? XD
