You sure? I definitely got dropped to a "the host has disconnected" screen mid match last night. I thought the whole match was p2p.

So funny story about that, the game servers are technically an invisible 11th/-1th player in the game. A few times during beta when the games exploded it would show the host client dropping.

Totally looking forward to the day the server i'm playing on rage quits in the middle of a match, if that's the case.

MP (Competitive) is hosted on dedicated servers (Microsoft Azure). T-Hunt is P2P but you still get disconnected if the 'host' does, which is loving dumb.

Edit: Voice communication and the whole squad system is P2P, so when someone can't join a squad or gets dropped from it unexpectedly, it's usually a connectivity issue between two of the players. You can use hamachi to eliminate virtually every problem associated with the squad system, but who's going to bother with that?

Fortunately it takes a minimum of four rounds to win ranked so after the second round, that person gets kicked and the team gets back to trying their best, albeit with a man down.

I had one guy take offense to me telling him his mic was open and he tried (and failed) to team kill me the entire match, spouting an unending steam of profanity and Standard Video Game Insults at me. Oddly my team refused to kick him, despite him constantly updating the enemy team on our position.

Remove suicide bombers from the game. They're the absolute loving worst thing in t hunt and it's ridiculous when not only do you have guys randomly spawning behind you but you have guys spawning that will just run at you and 1 shot you

They're annoying but guys don't randomly spawn in Terrorist Hunt (except during the "defend the defuser" portion of bomb). In classic everyone that you have to fight is already on the map when you start - there's two bombers among them. Hostage rescue is the same except it also spawns a single wave of guys when you rescue the hostage and routes every surviving terrorist already on the map to your location. I've never seen bombers spawn during that wave but it might happen on realistic.

You get a ton of warning when they're nearby. Loud breathing, a big light shining out of their face, beeping (and shooting) when they actually see you. IQ can detect them with her tech scanner and I'm pretty sure Mute's jammers will block them from exploding if they try to detonate in their range. You can also disable the bombs by shooting the canister on their back; even the tazer from Twitch's drone will work. Also when they're charging at you any hit will make them stop and flinch.

the problem with T-Hunt is that on console that poo poo runs like garbage. Also forget what I said before about ranking up in losses, I thought this used moba rank tiers (5->1) but it looks like its 1->5 instead and I was ranking down lol :v:

I play on ps4 and would play with you, but there's also a surprising amount of people with mics in game who are solid teammates. There's also a couple people you'll run into blasting music over their mic or who live in houses with a thousand crying babies or who simply won't listen to anyone and rush the last attacker instead of waiting ten seconds for the bomb to detonate, but it's not
Impossible to find a couple good people with mics through matchmaking.

Had a match where the server was lagging to death, so we were constantly rubberbanding, like we would run forwards for 5 seconds and then it would push us 3 seconds back, it was just like the Half Life Firearms (FA) mod when you ran around without cutting your chute. Eventually I rappelled up the side of the house and the game pushed me back down beneath the ground where I proceeded to fall beneath the map.

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.
Please don't do this it is extremely annoying on Chalet as an attacker :mad:

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?
Twitch or her shock drone? Because depending on where they spawn her shock drone can get there in seconds.

I'm loving this game. A real hoot picking off the attackers the moment they spawn in , if you can figure out where they're going to run to / spawn you can easily wipe out 2 - 3 of them in one go. Always clump and just blindly run to the objective and don't expect to get a Nitro cell thrown at them or shot.

It combines the good and fun parts of CoD-likes and CSGO (the gunplay from the former and the structured round based gameplay of the latter) and smashes them together in one cohesive package. Game is good.

That's the way I did it, $32 for a Nvidia region free code. It's somewhat annoying to have it outside Steam, but $32 though.
