Ok it's official. Getting glitch kills is WAY worse than vision pulse kills.

He gets really mad about people having their aim up while looking at high traffic areas when he is at least as bad about doing that while nearly stationary, except he also hides in low traffic areas with DS/awareness, and also about flinch while using a gun with a recoil pattern I dislike. Also, it's not like I can get dark matter without using SMGs :shobon:

Glitch kills is about as dumb as pistol longshots. I use glitch to get out of trouble, not get kills. Likewise, longshots with pistols ???????????

Hardcore whiners playing core make no sense to me. loving play HC?

The other one that kinda cracks me up a lot now is bitching about flinch. Headshots do about fuckall for you outside high caliber, so going for headshots is usually a terrible idea in any situation other than 'dude is behind cover at long range and I have to shoot his face'.

The consequence of never bothering to go for headshots outside that means flinch rarely matters much, I don't really notice it now except when I get (loving) melted by some dude using a hical Manowar or KN44 and the hipfire flinch knocked his aim into my face.

The best part about getting streamers or youtubers mad is you don't even have to put in effort to make a video about them.

I particularly like the way he calls the Vesper a gun for scrubs, then uses the sight that turns red when you point it at an enemy. Bravo, idiot.

It's been kind of heartwarming watching you progress from 'how do I shot mans' to 'MOTHERSHIP' :3:

Mothership has two problems: If you stuff it early, it takes loving forever to earn another before the match ends, and when you call one in, good odds the other team just quits.

I did have some good luck with it last night though, I moved to the least desirable spawn that I did not want them appearing at (:devil:), called it in and wrecked them at the remaining spawns that made easy targets. And no one quit!

I think Wraith/HATR/RAPS is still probably the best overall ruin-the-other-team streak setup, because it overloads pubby anti-air, and leads to an absolute slaughter as your teammates run all over them with the HATR/RAPS coverage, leading to more streaks, leading to more quits etcetc.

Alternate comedy option: Sentry/Cerberus/whatever, drop Sentries and Cerberus at every spawn point.

Honestly, any combination of Wraith/HATR/+ is pretty bonkers. I run Sentry with those two just because pubbies can't seem to react to it appropriately.

1. Complains about "realism" in a game set in the future with buzzsaw robots. Check.
2. It's never his fault when he dies. It's either the weapon that killed him, or the players weren't on his minimap, etc. Check.
3. Blames the game mode for his poor performance ("I'm not cut out for this core poo poo", "I don't believe how bad core is"). Check.
4. Calls the game a "failure" while posting video after video of himself playing it for hours on end. Check.
5. Doesn't play the objective in an objective based game mode. Check.
6. Blames loss on teammates. Check.

We have a certified genuine petulant crybaby CoD manchild here folks.

The main reason to use RAPS instead of whatever else is the anti-air overload. You put up 9 or 10 rockets worth of targets, which is enough to prevent them from shooting it all down instantly. By the time they destroy anything, they've all died repeatedly to Wraith attacks/HATR teammate pushes/RAPS get deployed. Plus RAPS chases people out of buildings and back out into the open where the Wraith can resume slaughtering them.

It's the same reason launching a Wraith alone is sometimes just loving worthless because it gets blown out of the sky almost instantly by the publords who shoot down UAVs/CUAVs within seconds.

One nice thing about that predictability though: If you are running UAV/CUAV for whatever reason, calling them in right before you push the enemy spawn is always a great time, because you'll always run into 1-2 dudes staring at the sky with blackcells out.

Or it'll be like when I call out "I got it!" at a UAV, then forget I don't have a blackcell on that build and just shake my fist at the sky angrily.

Also I just unlocked the Argus does this gun have completely garbage hipfire or was I just in one of those hitmarker lobbies

Both.

I had massive consistency problems with the Argus though, to the point that it's my worst k/d shotgun, and one of my worst k/d guns period.

Just a ton of times I'd ADS, fire, and... nothing. No hitmarker, nothing.

I've seen a few other people complain about it's consistency, but I don't know what the gently caress the problem is. That was with Quickdraw/Stock.

I figured ok maybe it's still in the hipfire transition and I'm getting hipfire spread. I'd pre-ADS, strafe around corner, fire and... nothing.

Not even lag either, plenty of times I'd fire at a dude well before he reacted and I'd still die.

Actually this is the exact experience I had with the gun too. I walked up behind a dude, hip fire and got zero hit markers, ADS and somehow completely miss at point blank and die. I am not exactly a great shooter but if that was the KRM I guarantee the dude would have died to either shot.

That sucks, the lever action on the gun seemed pretty cool, but my experience basically totally mirrors what you said.
