Generally speaking i've been enjoying Dead Space 2's multiplayer, but stasis bothers me. Quite often I sneak up on a human player and start hitting them from behind only to have them turn around, stasis me, and kill me. This happens way too often and it's extremely frustrating. The ability to freeze an enemy player in place kind of strikes me as un balanced, and it's definitely not fun. What do necromorphs have that can compare to this? I know that you can vomit on players to slow them down, but whenever I try to do this they just stasis me. I don't know if i'm saying that stasis should be taken out of the game, though perhaps it should, but does anyone else find it annoying?
Dead Space 2
Game » consists of 18 releases. Released Jan 25, 2011
Dead Space 2 is the sequel to the 2008 surprise hit Dead Space. The no-longer-silent Isaac Clarke finds himself trapped on a city-sized space station called the Sprawl, which has been overtaken by another Necromorph infestation.
Does stasis ruin the multiplayer?
I suppose the lack of responses is an indicator of how many people are actually playing multiplayer in this game.
If you team is working together the humans should not even have a chance to turn around and stasis, I mean even 2 type of necromophs attack one guy at the same time kills them so fast .
When your playing as the necromorphs attacking by your self is quick way to end up on respawn, use the baby type (forget the names bin a while since i've played it ) to lach on to one and the close range power house with a couple of swipes will kill them then escape , Then wait for the next one man army to come charging round the corner and jump him 2 .Use choke points on the map so you don't get over run.
Seems quite fair to me the only annoying thing about the multiplayer is the humans get med packs and ammo after ever couple of kills.
wait wait wait
WAIT WAIT
Hold up there !!!
" @Ahmad_Metallic: I Ilike 3rd person shooters.. kinda even more than FPS, one of the games I´ve multiplay the most is Uncharted 2.. DS2 multiplayer it´s ok, light fun, what´s wrong with people enjoying it? "nothing is wrong with it, im just shocked !
from what i understand, if its not Call of Duty, Halo, Gears of War or a sports/racing game on the consoles, the multiplayer dies off after a month
And that's what seems to be happening most of the time I play. Of course I expect it, but no one really tries to cooperate outside of attacking people from behind when I pounce on them. And on that note this game is killing my E key." If you were attacking him 1 on 1 of course you're going to fail. "

Although I am surprised that I can seem to get a game going at any time on PC.
I've seen both sides get steam rolled too, but it seems to me like there's no stopping a human team which knows what it's doing. Stasis can also affect more than 1 necro at once, so it's not much use trying to blob against a human team. Overall I enjoy being humans way more. I suck as a necromorph lol.
And I absolutely hate how you have to play 1 game as necromorphs in order to get points. I'd be human every time if I could choose.
" I've seen both sides get steam rolled too, but it seems to me like there's no stopping a human team which knows what it's doing. "Yeah this seems to be the case, a well coordinated Human team will win 99% of the time. I guess the Necromorphs biggest advantage is being able to spawn where they want, unlike the humans who will spawn in fixed points and have to move through the level.
What's worse is that you don't even have to directly hit a necro with stasis to stop them, you just have to hit near them. I'd be pleased if they simply changed this.
And yeah, if you charge your shot as the 4th necromorph you can get 2 hit kills. This game is just full of exploitable annoyances.
Well, if your a spitter, just hold down the spit button against a human and they die pretty easiliy with one or two shots of charged up spit. Spitter is my fav. BUT! Bad News for Stasis! Humans can only use it once or twice! Spit is unlimited! So is puke! When your a pack or one of those wall climbing things you can EASILY Avoid Stasis. Bottom Line>Just be a spitter.
