Depending on how long the smoke screen lasts, free Red-eye weeks are going to be interesting.

I'm gonna buy Red Eye and just toss smoke at Vasiliys on my team.

About how active is the Steam group? Is it enough that if I want to play I can round up four actual functioning human beings rather than the mouth-breathers I get teamed with every time I press the Competitive Match button?

Antares posted:i'll only buy him if the smoke grenades also one-shot on direct hits I think that's unlikely to happen.  It was treated like a fragile deployable in the past so it could be dispersed by being destroyed. That alone will curb its usefulness against enemies if it ends up like that. On the stream it looked like enemies seen through thermal vision can tell they've been tagged like heartbeat sensors. Smoke can be a strong tool but it's probable SD are going to release Redeye's abilities pre-emptively toned down to avoid another Phantom debut clusterstuff. His guns and his hp will be the biggest reasons to use him.

I just hope it blocks spotting because smoke didn't in BF3 or PS2. On being a nuisance, there was a character with Splinter Cell sticky cameras that could be detonated. She could set up corner traps like Fletcher but with access to sniper rifles.

But there's no spotting in this game?  Obviously smoke doesn't block heartbeat sensors from spotting people, it wouldn't make any sense for it to.

I know it was still working in the past few weeks, irrespective of Vasili being in the match. It still works, but it has no... I would say "teamwork significance". No one in your team will listen to your audio cues in fast paced FPS. If it would mark players on map and screen it would be whole other matter but it would also make Vasilli skill less powerful so I actually prefer how things are right now. If only pubs could use heartbeat sensor more often... Bloodmobile posted:But there's no spotting in this game? For me smoke blocking sensor spotting would counter ability that does not need to be countered at all. EDIT: Not relevant but still annoying:

It's just an audio cue that does not give you a single actual clue as to where they are, which seems completely irrelevant to me even if it sometimes does happen through smoke.

Servers are down for the Redeye update, patch notes including yet another stupid Dreiss AR nerf.

"Fletcher Sticky Bombs thrown at a player's feet will no longer pin them to the ground" That sounds like a feature, put it back in please.

Well this patch basically puts Dreiss back to the stats it used to have before they buffed it, which makes it look like they're giving up on trying to make it a viable weapon.

I really would like some admin from EU region to organize some games in my time zone. Mostly because if I join some goons i get like 200 ping. I guess I could be one but I don't know if I will have time in next few months to play regularly. PS. You can add me to friends if you want. I tend to join goons when playing.

It's actually a fairly small area around your crosshair so fishing for people in the smoke shouldn't be too hard. That said, it looks like a moot point primarily due to the smoke not covering a large area for something on a 30 second cooldown.

Hmmm. Kira or Phantom? I've been trying Phantom out and since I'm awful at melee since people move so quickly, I've mostly been just decloaking with my gun blazing. Cloaking is pretty fun though. Dreiss is awesome too, but the fire rate nerf is kind of unfortunate. Also the ammo station is really convenient for on the go ammo reloading while I'm busy shooting someone. Edit: Was Kira recently on free rotation? Not counting the free weekend that just happened. Edit: Has anyone had problems with the game absolutely refusing to save your ingame resolution settings? I need to set the resolution lower to get decent frame rates but it refuses to save. Every time I start up the game I need to do it over again.

Man it's been pretty awful lately playing other classes, people have seemed to discover the "Aura" and her BS stand in the heal field give no fucks ability. Which isn't bad when playing a explosive equipped class, but goddamn is it hard on bushwhacker.

Well DirtyCups just closed up shop, so what little competitive scene there was to the game is entirely gone now. It's starting to look like Splash Damage's usual policy of dragging their feet is going to wind up with another game dead due to neglect. Meanwhile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZnXKFuCUGo

So not only are there aimbotters, there are now people using uber gun cheats to one shot people from across the map. This game is going places.

Actual hacks too much trouble? Try using some console commands to teleport around the map instead! https://www.reddit.com/r/Dirtybomb/comments/3g8j6n/how_to_teleport_using_console_commands/

I swear to god, I'm pretty sure that I only bandwagon onto games that are dead or dying. Super Monday Night Combat, Nosgoth, Ghost Recon Phantoms, and now this. I should just make my own lovely f2p game so I can shut it down mid-development and save myself the effort of finding a decent team-based game.
