yea, the timing takes practice. Though, it's worth it. Not having to take the stairs every time, and sometimes even leg-upping right behind (or over) an enemy for a nice surprise kill... Although there are some maps where it's of limited use.Originally Posted by TxBuckeye
Leg up is completely useless to me and either way when I use rez always have fast feet and dump eve saver since I don't need it. If you have a good teammate you can rez enough to make it useful.
It's the novelty of being able to reach places that you'd normally have to run to, or those really high up places that don't offer much of an advantage that people like about Leg Up. I know that's all I enjoy it for. Resurrection is definitely the better choice when I'm playing with my mate.
You guys don't have zap dodge jumpers in xbox, huh?
We do but they don't use leg up because off host it almost never works while you are walking.
Xbox has not seen jumpers the likes of Phly... He's more like a silent cricket than a phly...
Maybe I'm thinking of someone else, but didn't Gibbz jump around with leg up all of the time? That kid use to be kind of hard to kill because of it. He was like a damn frog bouncing around everywhere.
That's the problem I ran in to when trying to use it. Didn't realize it was a lag issue. Thought I just didn't understand the concept. I kept trying to walk up and jump up to the vending machine on the museum map and the dude would just jump in to the wall like I didn't have LU in my loadout. That's why I got rid of it, seemed useless to me.
I don't remember anything about him using leg up. You might have played with him more than me though or it was just his lag.
I Dont use rez, it dosent work and u still die, i think rez was just a mistake like when u have a kid by mistake No. Offense to anyone
What game modes do you play and do you play with at least 1 other person?
I ussually hang out in survival or civil, sometimes ill play capture ussually on a team with phlypinoy.
Resurrection was awesome at first because no one knew what the hell was going on but then it got boring and everyone started to figure it out. Personally I can manage without it.
Res is like a nuclear weapon if your opponent has it then you have to have it to balance things out but because they cancel each other out you may as well not have them.
I use it just to annoy people..
Lololololololololol.
Hahaha yea I do that too actually. I get so much mail, well hate mail.
I see this a lot on this forum. I'll never understand why people take joy in ruining the fun of others. Says a lot more about you than the person sending the hate mail.
The only wannabe trolling-- er, I mean lulz that I preform is bagging every now and then to those that deserve it.
Rez is just Rez, taking any chance to prevent death. I facepalm every time someone says, "i 'cide for lulz" or something similar.
If you mean me what does that say about me? I don't suicide when I rez.
this game would be ALOT better without rez
I agree even though I sometimes use it (rarely to be honest). I always say if they kill me then they deserve the kill right?
Uhm, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I was likely referring to the person/statement I quoted. And it had nothing to do with suiciding.
Well don't I feel stupid. Anyway Resurrection got tiring after awhile because so many people, even lower ranks, knew about it already.
Ah ress is only good if the person who killed you doesnt know about it.
Easy to say if your that good then the person wouldnt have killed you
and you wouldnt have ress on
This has been just about everyone's answer so far. If that person was good enough to kill you then they should be good enough to clean it up. I think you would be surprised how often you can actually rez even if the person knows.Ah ress is only good if the person who killed you doesnt know about it.

There are numerous times were a res kill gets taken away if you're on fire and on low health, if an angry big daddy appears behind you, if you get attacked by someone else, if you get HS from across the map or the worst of all if a team mate thinks it's fun to steal it. So those that say it's easy to clean up, yes it is but not all the time. The way I see it though is most of the people who complain about it have accses to it so they have no reason to.
Oh and before you point out how I complian about stuns and yet I have acceses to them I don't any more, If someones EB/HS I whip out my nade luancher.
I wouldn't have brought up the stuns, because I have access to the GL I just refuse to use it. The thing is most of the reasons you pointed out are the perfect reasons to have on rez. I love to save teammates while they are rezing because it's the point of using it. The two reasons to use rez in survival is the off chance that it works and whether we like it or not is to let someone else get the kill. I have been messing around with rez lately and have actually been getting up with it so I'll probably keep it on for team. You just won't see me with it on in Survival.
True rez is good to have on because of the possibility of being saved, but don't you think if they kill you fairly enough, they deserve the kill? That's why I don't use rez.
I use it
(flame shield on)
I don't normally use Resurrection in my headshot loadout because I'm already wasting a Tonic Slot on Head Hunter. I don't mind using it in other loadouts though, and I do too. I no longer care what people use and it bores me to see that other people still do, though I'm sure when I was ranting in the past people have thought the same of me.
Touche friend touche.
I dont like it
It angers me when the whole team has ress. And most of the time some of them are susciders
Agreed. 1 or 2 is fine, but when the entire enemy team is using rez it just becomes a hassle.It angers me when the whole team has ress. And most of the time some of them are susciders
I don't have room for it in my new load out and to be honest I don't miss it that much.
Agreed with every other tonic out there why don't I want res, death trap or either of them to take a slot. I'd rather use something like metabolic eve or eve saver. Something that'll help me out the most.
Perhaps the idea of getting free kills (Death Trap) or having an extra life (Resurrection) appeals to the masses more. I doubt they'd listen if we explained to them that if they used a more consistent Tonic it would help their game. I don't use Death Trap at all, but I'll put Resurrection on if I feel like using it. Especially with my mate who is great at saving my butt when we're playing together.
Death Trap is just a nuisance that kills you like once every three matches.
And when you're frozen so you can't move or when you're a big daddy.Death Trap is just a nuisance that kills you like once every three matches.
THANK YOU!!! I could not agree more. I wonder if it is a generational thing (based on the age poll showing 76% are 21 or younger, I'm old enough to be the average player's mother).
