I am on the fence about it, I tried to hop over and it made my character just stand back up straight, then hopped over and missed the kick.

Yea I guess your right, it just sucks because this happens far too often.

Luckily this time I came away with the kill though. :)

You killed him anyway, so, no problem.
But yes, it should have.

In short: This game has WAY too many issues that should have been fixed in development, especially with the Beta community being so vocal about them... Also, the population of SoS users seems to be growing, and it's sucking the fun out of the game. I'm returning it the day Skyrim comes out. Sure, I won't be missed. But hey, it's a choice.

Lol how are you returning an opened game?

Gamestop allows Trade-ins.... come to think of it, I'll probably return it the day before Skyrim. That way I'll get +30% store credit towards it! Sweeeet

lol I know I killed him, I am just asking if it should have been a mantle kick. :) I am not complaining because I obviously got the kill, but hey, if it should have been a mantle kick it should have been a mantle kick.

They should have had a gun that shoots mantle kicks.

To, you know, compensate for the lack of mantle kicks...

Winning!! XD

OP, yes, that should have been a mantle kick. But be happy you didnt end up like I tend to, where I dont hop over at all, just look at the ground (as the animation attempts and fails), and watch as they then mantle kick me. XD

So how would that work? You fire some kind of boot out that kicks them in the face, knocks them back then you roll forward for the gib? lol :)

Precisely. It'd be a Heavy pick-up weapon with only one shot, so that when you shoot someone with it, you'd immediately drop the weapon, and be able to gib them. But you wouldn't move slow with it. It'd be a pretty cool weapon =)

Another thing I've been wanting is a one-time-use Grapple Hook, similar to the Hookshot in the Legend of Zelda games...

Oh, oh, oh, it'd be this big boot thing that you'd carry around, and you could melee people with it, and it'd do MASSIVE damage. Or you could choose to shoot it at someone, and it'd be like a portable mantle kick.

You can shoot someone with the hook, then pull their bodies towards you and say "Get over here!" but in the "for the queeeen" voice. :)

The one time the mantle kick should have happened, it doesn't. Yet I get mantle kicked from 10 feet away and half the time you don't even jump over cover, you just stand up.

Mantle kick doesn't work right most of the time.

That'd be sick! Except for the copyright issues involved in that...
Seriously though, it'd pull them toward you, and then you'd kick them, and it'd stun them!
Or you could just use it as a way to, for example, get to the top of the Sandbar cliff without having to go through the building!

That video's been going viral on these forums... In this video's case, it's just lag. Had that cover not been there, and had he just been on the wall, moving sideways, he would have glitched back to where he was, which is probably what happened on the other person's screen.

The mantle kick IS really messed up, though. I don't even use it anymore.

He was much too close to get hit by the mantle kick. Mantles only seem to effect people who are around 5 feet away.

I've been meaning to try this (mantle kick) but haven't had the chance, cause a few people have done it to me,...just as i'm about to do it. Bummer! Lucky for some,.. but on a Quick Note,..,. I've had to step up and increase, my Look and Target Sensitivity for a Number of reasons, 1 fact being that I'm trying to make up for some lag issues ,..and thought it might help to roll/dodge out of the way of the mantle kick. I Haven't been able to confirm if it works yet or not :-(
