They did something cool with shotguns this time around - if you hit with ANY pellets, it does some minimum damage, then it adds damage for every pellet that actually hit.

In theory that should make them a lot more consistent. In practice I still find myself frustrated with one hit weapons + close range cod netcode. The full/semi auto ones feel more reliable :/

I'm slowly adapting to the way the netcode and ttk is in this game. Needing ~4 bullets to drop people just feels sloppy. You really feel it when you come up against a one burst gun, a lucky high cal headshot, or one of the 3sk guns that are fast when you're in their range (kuda/kn).

Best part is the pick/ban system is actually genuinely funny when applied to competitive cod. Someone bans a gun they deem OP!!!! and some dude on the other team is all pissed cuz his favorite gun is now unusable.

Speaking of bad modes, why the gently caress don't you teleport out when you dunk in Uplink, like you did in Blitz? It's suicide almost every time you score, feels bad.

PS4, it's the 'lead' platform, so that's where we went (plus I have my scuf on PS4 :P). I'm Fuzzyfuzzybunny on PSN if you got it there, I nuked my entire Destiny friends list of 125+ people, so if you got removed, just re-add me and I'll accept.

I use the XB1 for Titanfall/Halo 5, that's about it.

Dead weight, just like this post.



So i'm glad the huge "Kill this dude" marker while you're carrying the flag/ball/whatever in this game doesn't seem like it updates as often as it it did in the old games, there have been a few times where i thought for sure the guy with the satellite was coming down a certain way because of the marker and then it'd suddenly jump over because he changed direction or something. Makes carrying the thing a little less of a death sentence.

Fixed long range/non optimal kill times for burst guns (ie, adding burst delay correctly), 48 Dredge is still scary.

Fastest to slowest, ARs/SMGs/LMGs/Pistols only, optimal range.
code:
1	XR-2		Assault Rifle
2	RK5		Pistol
3	48 Dredge	LMG
4	Vesper		SMG
5	Kuda		SMG
6	L-CAR 9		Pistol
7	M8A7		Assault Rifle
8	KN-44		Assault Rifle
9	Pharo		SMG
10	VMP		SMG
11	Gorgon		LMG
12	MR6		Pistol
13	Man-O-War	Assault Rifle
14	BRM		LMG
15	Sheiva		Assault Rifle
16	HVK-30		Assault Rifle
17	Dingo		LMG
18	Weevil		SMG
19	Razorback	SMG
20	ICR-1		Assault Rifle
Fastest to slowest, ARs/SMGs/LMGs/Pistols only, worst range.
code:

1	48 Dredge	LMG
2	Vesper		SMG
3	KN-44		Assault Rifle
4	Pharo		SMG
5	RK5		Pistol
6	VMP		SMG
7	XR-2		Assault Rifle
8	HVK-30		Assault Rifle
9	Dingo		LMG
10	Kuda		SMG
11	Man-O-War	Assault Rifle
12	BRM		LMG
13	M8A7		Assault Rifle
14	Razorback	SMG
15	Gorgon		LMG
16	MR6		Pistol
17	ICR-1		Assault Rifle
18	Weevil		SMG
19	L-CAR 9		Pistol
20	Sheiva		Assault Rifle
XR-2 and M8 down a bunch, Pharo barely moves, Dredge gives no fucks (that time is firing a second burst - at its worst range it can still 1 burst kill O_o). Also makes it a good candidate for suppressing (DON'T do that on the other LMGs unless you like adding an extra bullet for every kill past inside-a-room range).

ICR has garbage tier kill times, don't use it at short range. The Weevil and Razorback are in a similar boat.

For all three of those, you need to abuse their other attributes (accuracy for ICR/Razorback, ammo capacity for Weevil), otherwise you're better off with something else.

Something I didn't notice before, the HVK/Dingo and the Manowar/BRM are basically the same gun in terms of damage and rof, just divided by ar/lmg status, so the lmg version gets more range/ammo/penetration in exchange for much worse handling.

The SMGs are divided into two broad range/damage groups, the 'long' range ones are the Kuda, Pharo, and Razorback, and the 'short' range ones are the VMP, Vesper, and Weevil. The short ones fall to 6 shots, the long ones to 5, and the short ones fall faster. In order from shortest to longest, Vesper -> VMP -> Weevil -> Pharo (barely less than the Razor) -> Razorback -> Kuda.

One thing I don't get, the VMP has faster ADS, but the Vesper/Weevil are both slower than the other subs. You'd think all the short range ones would have faster ads :shrug: All are still a bit faster than ARs though.

I think they nerfed Gorgon ads time, I believe it's now the slowest ads in the game, though I haven't double checked that.

Again restating that I think they did a pretty solid job with gun balance this time around, so use what you enjoy the most, it looks like they're watching and tweaking over/underperformers very slightly, so if they keep at that, there shouldn't be any massive standouts or dogs.

With that in mind, do pay attention to poo poo like the ICR's killtime, that guns 'role' is long range accuracy, so if you try to force it into short range fights you're going to be bitching about hitmarkers and bullshit deaths a lot.

Another thing, speaking of hitmarkers - so flinch is pretty significant in this game, and there's no Focus/Toughness to counteract it. Be aware of that if you have a habit of aiming high, you can and will get flinched off target and that'll cost you kills when you're using guns that need 4 shots on target to kill.

Yeah I get that but then jumping away from the first one tends to put me at too steep an angle. Correcting uses boost and means I'm screwed when I want to jump off the next one.

Try to stick to the wall as long as possible, you'll be able to recharge a bit of boost if you go at it slowly.

You shouldn't even need to boost to make those jumps. You just turn into the jump and it leaps away from the current wall run without boosting. I always broke the glass trying to boost to the next pane.

So victrix, can I suppress SMG's or not?

The penalty is smaller on smgs than ars/lmgs, but it's still there.

As far as my own experience, I like the suppressed pharo, I'm not sure about the others yet. Putting one on the Kuda all but kills its 3sk range (it's already really short, so I like long barrel just to get that fast kill time up close as often as possible).

I'd say try it on the faster smgs (pharo/vesper/vmp), see how they treat you.

There's a few ways to hide from the minimap, you can run suppressor and ghost and rush, you can run CUAV (but you'll be vulnerable to enemies with hardwired without knowing it), or you can carry a launcher (but stopping to shoot down a uav in enemy turf doesn't work too well, and the instant it goes up you're gonna get hunted).

Even invis, you still have to take hardwired to hide from tracker/sixth sense and blast suppressor/dead silence to hide from soundwhores and alert players.

It's intentionally pretty tough to get fully sneaky in this game.

Fortunately pubbies remain fairly terrible, so if you play smart, even just a suppressor and ghost can let you operate up close successfully. Trick is staying very mobile and very alert to spawn swaps (ie, if you're playing with Javes, assume the spawns are about to swap)
