it still goes like 80% as far... maybe if he knocked it down to like 50-60%...

right now (1.6) you can wiff one and still boost a guy farther that hitting him @ 80%

Bah, I don't like the new boostpower. It's weaker and not a good weapon like before. Teamwork was very important in boosting.. you could get one defender with you up front and assist the attack, when the opponent got the ball you boosted him back asap. Now the boostingspeed increased, you cant take him too far with you [as attackker] cause otherwise he wont be able to make the defence in time.. it also is much harder to make a good boost.. Boosting is, especially for noobs, one of the first things you need to know. I think it should be easy to learn.. and thats not in 1.7.

i agree the old boost power was fine same with the boost radius...

The one problem I see with this is that you'll have a harder time knowing how far you gun can actually reach, with all these different distances it can be very hard to time :(

Does the change in boost radius also apply to boosting opponents?

No, as said several times before...

- Teamwork was very important in boosting.. you could get one defender with you up front and assist the attack, when the opponent got the ball you boosted him back asap

you still can do it, but you can't rely on getting that defender with one boost from one penzone to the other, so he can't pbox-camp and attack at once... but he still can attack, be boosted back some way and defend... just more risk now like it should have been always...

Boosting is a lot better in 1.7 as opposed to 1.6, but Boost power still needs -.05 davidm mister

about boosting back I guess teams will be practicing the double boost now. it used to happen occassionally, was funny, but not necessary, now it could really help
