Perks that're only useful after you're dead.

[Dairuka]

So why do people take perks like Last Stand and Martyrdom - that're only useful after you've already died, and then complain that they die so much to people who have a large inherent advantage over them by taking a more useful #3 perk?

Extreme Conditioning means more Sprinting and Bunny Hopping, Dead Silence means more kiting and ganking, and Deep Impact means more walling.

Steady Aim means you can actually shoot something with lesser talent/lack of sights
Stopping Power means you can cause more damage

And yet people use Martyrdom and Last Stand.

Heres why...
They know their chances of dieing are higher than living (Less than a 1:1 K/D) so they use perks that will come in to play more often .. and to some, use Martyrdom because it's the only way to get a kill.

That's quite rude of you... :shakehead

It can actually be useful on certain weapons, the M14 and shotgun for example.

Hate on Extreme Conditioning all you want, but I love it more than any other perk.

Of course, I'm a ninja-strafing, bunny hopping, cover abusing bastard.

I feel the same way. Even if you can pick the perk that gives you the biggest advantage I'd prefer if everyone had the same abilities... like BF :p

I think the Perk system allows for great soldier and kit customizations which translate into great battles. IMO, Last Stand and Martyrdom seem kinda lame, yet they both have value in certain situations.

I'm all about letting folks choose those perks if they want. These "less desirable" perks only impact my play when a large percentile of the players are using them. I know I'm on the wrong server then. =)

IMO one has a better game by picking other perks.

Well put. Sometimes we all get too focused in on the server we're playing, and forget there're thousands of others out there.

Oh really? So theres a way for you to get up after going into Last Stand mode without a point being added to your Death tally?

Stop the semantics, you know what I meant. :shakehead

Guys why aren't you using Eavesdrop, who needs a 3rd perk!

Actually a couple of days ago I was using it (I use it for commical reasons, and because CB doesn't allow 3rd perks) and I picked up an enemies VOiP, he was saying where he was, man I was Lolling myself.
