Sada_no_Fujin Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Does anyone here use block? I'm curious. I've never seen a use for it really. I usually play rhino and melee (exclusively). As such im typically taking fire from a wide arc or two directions. As the amount of damage negated seems negligible at best i don't bother incorporating it into my strategy. Mostle cover-slide-acrobatics. Do correct me in the comments if you do. +1 IF YOU DO NOT. Edited June 21, 2013 by Varo_Sanumai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
http404error Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 It's largely useless. The most common use I hear is interrupting the reload circle at 3/4 to optimize slowly reloading guns. Locker opening is instantaneous, but block is the next best thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volt_Cruelerz Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I never actually remember that it's a thing until after a game is over lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shion963 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Blocking's got little practical purpose as it is right now. Hope there's gonna an update that polishes these things up. *WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogamu Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 If im using a high energy slow frame and I want to close the gap between myself and a enemy...sure occasionally I will use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callback Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Uber useful. Instant animation cancel. Quickest way to pull yourself out of a reload when ambushed, get up after a jump melee attack, or otherwise right yourself. Also useful to perform fast-reloads.
