If you really, truly want to boot someone then you still can.....just switch to the knife. Its one little button press and you have the glorious boot!!

Not true. Even when switching to the knife, the boot is not the same as in 3.4. It's way harder to hit with as well.

What I said is 100% true....read it again. Boots will take skill, since you have to select it, as every weapon in the game should.

skill > luck

Oh man why did they take out the boots? All I wanted to do was spam my no recoil mega bfg 36 and get a lucky kill. Damn them were the days. UrT used to be a Mortal Kombat style combo system game. I liked that kind of stuff. *BLAM*BLAM*HOP*HOP*BOOT!*STILL SHOOTN*BLAM*BLAM*BOOT*BLAM*KILL! Sigh now Im gonna have to relearn to not hop so much while shootin.

Brolly, you dont only need to select it, but also its harder to hit with in 3.5. Thats a bit too much nerfing imo =]

[HoboHumpinSlut (old)]

well...we will see...but i think aiming only would have done the trick to get rid of getting booted 'accidently'. but why not talk about that tomorrow?

I actually love booting, it is a boatload of fun when you are just screwing around on a server. that being said, I am glad to see the "knife/boot" in the game because it was entirely too easy to boot someone in close combat. I think it is a change for the bettr because now you need to rely on skill, not just lucking out by jumping repeatedly... please remember, this is coming from someone who would boot at the drop of a hat when in close combat - I loved it - but it is lame and needed fixing considering how easy it was to boot.

You can still boot, but now you gotta have some brass-like testicles to do it just carrying a knife instead of being able to boot and LR/M4 spam someone at the same time. Adapt and overcome... I think most people will find little difference in the gameplay once 3.5 is out, unless you are a boot-whore, of course! Play the new release for a few days/week - I really think you'll see that the knife/boot is not going to have the "catastrophic impact" some seem to think.
