So is DFA still broken as hell in multiplayer?

You know what I mean. Sux the fun out of matches during Beta.

Well since AoD has been replaced by Ace Pilot (fire then move), I'd say no. Not being able to reduce your leg damage makes it really count now.

I know what both of you are saying... but while Angel of Death is gone, in Custom PvP some of the Mechs can really take a lot of Up-Armoring on their Legs.

Plus IMO the Knockdown Meta (Melee/SRM) is still a thing.

What I am still trying to get a feel for is how a lack of Angel of Death impacts how I use Counterjumping to forestall the Knockdown Meta.

More to follow...

How was it broken in beta?

AoD also extended range and most importantly, wiped stability. Now if you DFA, you are going to be unsteady or close to it. I think even with customs DFA's are not going to be as powerful as beta w/AoD.
