Same here, as far as I can tell you can mute / kick players on your own team, and mute the enemy team

But I didn't see any way to kick people from the enemy team.

Probably to prevent goons kicking the whole enemy team constantly :ohdear:

When you kill 4/5ths of a team that's hunting you just by being smarter than them and with some help from your team all shouting enemy locations by watching their cameras you will become addicted to the feeling of being good at this game.

When you execute the last guy hiding in a corner through a wall like Mike in that one scene in Breaking Bad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9htKCRq751M you'll feel like the slickest badass in the world.

CONFIRMED. Did that today, a dude was hiding in a corner, I moved a drone just close enough to see under the door and see his feet. I shot him through the wall then got called hacker for 10 minutes straight.

Yeah I feel like understanding bullet penetration is going to be the main thing that separates the good players from the bad ones. Pro tip: You can shoot through a lot of floors/ceilings too. A lot of people don't seem to be aware of that/think that only trapdoors can be destroyed.

Another fun thing? You can toss a grenade through the gap under a barricade.I find it's easiest to do while prone, but with good aim you could get it from farther back by crouching/standing.

Pretty sure me and my friends saw a guy using one of those weird spinny aimbots earlier. You'd see his killcam after he shot you and his view would be flipping all over the place at extremely high speed. Also he knew I was coming down the hall once while I was slow walking. Yeehaw.

I am loving this game so far. It definitely has issues (connectivity with friends and netcode to name a couple), but I just cannot bring myself to stop playing once I've started. There is a relatively small map pool and only 3 game types, but I have never played the same map the same way twice. The destructibility of the environment and the many different objective placements on each map makes the experience fresh every time.
As I said above, there is a netcode issue giving rise to something we've been calling 'peek advantage' where the player 'peeking' around a corner can see you and kill you before you even see the opposing player. Yes, it gets frustrating, but it alone will not lose you a game.
I got this game for ~30 USD on greenmangaming.com and bought the season pass through UPlay. The game is worth the full asking price, but read up on the season pass before deciding to purchase.
I've been playing with a lot of Goons already, but for those who still need to add me on UPlay my username is I_Kurgann. Let's get together and blow some poo poo up!

Glaz shooting through reinforcements is pretty loving weird and obscure - especially considering Tachanka can't.

Orv posted:

It's weird but it's definitely a known quantity by now, like most stuff covered by video game Mythbusters videos.

To that point specifically, Glaz can shoot through a lot of stuff no-one else can. Most of the hardwood desks in the levels are hard cover against everything except Glaz, as well as a few other static environment pieces that crop up almost everywhere. On Plane, Glaz can shoot through some but not all of the exterior windows, meaning Glaz is an absolute terror on Plane with a good player. Just be aware that once he breaches a window it can be shoot through by other people.
Yeah I had no idea about all that stuff Glaz could shoot through, including the castlecades, except the airplane windows (which are weird because there's no indicator which can and cannot be shot through).

Also I didn't know the mute jammers couldn't block the entire length of both reinforced barricades.

My kill cams look like that whenever I play on American servers, likely a side effect of the higher latency.

It looks like I'm snapping to my targets constantly. Even when I was actually quickly scanning a room, it looks like my aim snapped from one side of the room to the other.

As I've been playing mostly ranked, the accusations of hacking have dropped significantly, but I still get them once every ~4 games as I inevitably end up with the killcam at the end of a round. My stats (>4 win/loss, >2 kdr) certainly don't help.

People are dumb and will call you a hacker for dumb poo poo. Last guy alive kills my bro, he tells me on vent where he is and I wall him and kill his rear end and he starts losing his poo poo. It's casual, you see where the guy is that killed you with the killcam ffs you should probably move after you kill someone.

Not only that but there are so many ways for you or a team mate to locate other players using in game gadgets and camereas. Even without using cameras you can located people by sound, I've wall banged so many people who have adjusted their placement without walking that even I felt a little like a cheater lol.

If you're playing as Kapakan and setting traps, dont bother setting anything in the barricades immediately around the objective. They get breached and blown up anyway. I have gotten so many kills after i just sprint and put tripwires on common exterior doors and windows that most people go though, away from the objective. No one is paying attention to some random door across the building from the objective. Bonus too that most big doorways will have multiple people so you can sometimes get 2 people with it.

No you're misunderstanding. Your kill cams definitely do not look like this. Imagine if you were watching someone flip their mouse back and forth across the pad at super speed in all 4 directions simultaneously. It's definitely possible it was some sort of weird glitch but it happened on every one of his killcams.

LOVES EVERY FUCKING GAME EVER MADE. EVER.
Two minor complaints about this Very Good Game:

1/ The cars have bullet-proof glass. I was playing the Situation which has Glaz rescuing a hostage. There's a terrrrrrist on the other side of a car. I think I'll just pop a headshot through the panes of glass and take him down. Nope, this glass withstands any punishment.

2/ You should be able to hold down a button before the prompt comes up and have it still count. Example, I'm downed and crawling away. I know it's square to hold my bleeding entrails in, and I'm already holding it. The button prompt appears on screen but nothing is happening. I have to let go of the button, then press and hold again to activate it. Same problem with trying to revive someone. The way it is now is really counter-intuitive as I have to wait around for a UI element to pop up before anything can happen, I'm a slave to the HUD rather than it being something that is there to assist me. I don't expect to be able to "do thing" when it's not possible, but when the "do thing" prompt comes up it should recognise that I'm already doing the thing, and not make me stop doing the thing to restart doing the thing. drat it.

Just played a game against a team that all had mics so they had the clear advantage and it showed, but when they were up 2-0 on us, they attacked with everyone on their team using a riot shield. It was the funniest thing I have seen in this game so far as one by one they would walk in the room and it finally dawned on me what was happening.

Want to make an attacking team really angry? Run to a 2nd floor window facing the spawn and rip down a barricade and just pick them off.

Had two games where I did it one random round and the round started off 5vs4 and 5vs3 right off the bat. Then the idiots rappelled up to ledge in front of the window, allowing me to just aim at their hooks. People just are sprinting toward the building without even looking.

Rip, never forget.



Roaming seams like a great strategy for an organized team to use, especially on that coast guard map with the two buildings since you can have someone run to the other building and shoot at attackers repelling to the Windows or even just catch the attackers getting to your building since it's such a large map.

Had the damnedest thing happen on that sovereign citizen house map with the laundry. We had hostage in the laundry basement middle room. I was muting around putting my routers and barricading. I closed the final double door right as timer counted down. When i turned around twitch was in the corner of our hallway under a breakable ceiling that was still closed using her shock drone. My buddy asked if it was an enemy. I said guess so and shot her. My question is how did twitch get there so soon after match start and why did she hunker down to drone right outside our spawn?
