Amplify

Does this perk even work anymore?

I'm forever having peoples run up behind me, stab me in the back but I heard no footsteps.

:)

 

Please eliminate Amplify Perk !!!

I think I might retract my previous statement about Amplify getting the best of both worlds as I see how there is hint of a balance to it, but don't get me wrong, it's still a scummy perk imo : D



Amplify hears people without Dead Silence very loud.

Amplify hears people with Dead Silence normal.



Dead Silence is silent to people without Amplify.

Dead Silence is normal to people with Amplify.



They both have a positive and a neutral.

 

Please eliminate Amplify Perk !!!

Dogs, Oracles and Amplify?

.

Sure, sounds good to me. Amplify is much worse than either one of those options.

 

I've been telling people since the game came out, if you use dead silence or even just walk cautiously you can sneak up on amplify users. Maybe by now people are figuring out sounds ..... or lack of sound from different surfaces, etc.

 

It used to be a great perk for soundwhoring, now it seems abit crap.

 

I hadnt been on for about 2 months until this weekend and it worked the same for me as always. At least the perk did, how players deal with it may be different.

I got the game on release and ran a knife only setup for almost a whole prestige. At that time this forum was full of people complaining how op amplify was....... meanwhile I was getting all kinds of people complain that they were running it when I stabbed
them in the back.

It has been a pretty powerful perk, but like with anything it has its strengths and weaknesses. People just learn to adapt to those strenghts and weaknesses at different paces. Being someone with slow reflexes, poor eyesight and arthritic hands I've always
made it my point to figure out all those details just so I could compete. Every release has perks,weapons, etc that make people complain they are op. .... but imo there has never been anything in the game that you cant counter if one just tries and uses their
head a bit.

 

It got nerfed a long time ago. Its still good, but there are ways around it like Dead Silence and walking crouched. AS should be.

 

Dead Silence does not counter it if someone has anything like Turtle Beaches or better.

 

Dead Silence isn't supposed to counter Amplify.

The text for Dead Silence says 'Players with Amplify can still hears your footsteps'.

So it got nerfed huh? Didn't know that, I stopped playing this game for about 6 months so I don't know what any of the updates did.

 

With Dead Silence and a crouched walk, you are silent, even to Amplify, but of course game sounds and surface may have a bit to do with it too.

 

Surfaces definitely have a lot to do with it. Also I think dead silence effects the range at which you can be heard, even on loud surfaces, so if you are using agility/ds you can run up behind an amplify user who is standing still fairly easily. If you are
both moving in the same direction he is more likely to hear you.
