i love it when some dipshit has the bomb defuser, and im on voice comms telling them to plant it at the completely empty bomb which also has an easy to camp plant site where we can all sit outside and cover it from safety, and they are loving crouch walking away from the bomb up the stairs into another part of the map, where they die and drop the defuser and cause us to lose because the enemy has entrenched themselves in some bullshit nothing part of the map. This kind of thing is understandable in casual, but in ranked its loving ridiculous if I ever have to deal with that poo poo.


The best part is, doing the objective is an ez way to get kills because the defense has no choice but to come back to the objective or lose. Just do the objective, camp, and wait for the kills to roll in!!

Be sure to tell them by name to bring the defuser. It's easy to forget you're the one carrying.

edit: Why does this game make it so hard to love? I have never had anyone do the outside glitch thing during prep phase and now 75% of my matches have 3+ ppl on the enemy team glitch outside.

You aren't wrong about the defender having time on his side, but if you are merely sitting still (defender or not), you are at a disadvantage unless you are hard to spot at first glance:

So I just played a game with pubbies where one of the guys went outside during prep as Tachanka and killed all but one defender at spawn, so I shot the hostage and ended it in OpFor's favor, because gently caress cheaters.

And then my team votekicked the cheater.

But then my team started teamkilling me at the start of every round for ... losing the previous round for them.

Holy gently caress bandits shotgun is so good. You can just tear people up through walls if you know which corner they're around.

Nitro is so good but on the right maps of you can rush out and hit the tops of staircases in time it's pretty easy to block any drones from hitting the single objective mode objective sites.

Reddit had a pretty good idea regarding Montagne (and other shield users): Basically, walk up behind them and hold F to latch on to them. Montagne can then walk the two of your aroundand you can lean out to the left/right to shoot around him while using him as cover. Would make coordinating with shields much easier and vastly reduce the number of times you get shot in the back bye your teammates.

Comfortably.

Every map, any doorway. Prone in front of the door as close to the red wall as you can, hold forward and sprint, and tap F just long enough to start the barricade animation. It throws you outside and you're free to do whatever. Enjoy.

Which shotguns are decent in this aside from the 1014 and sasg? Trying to get better with them but some of the pumps seem awful and I can't tell if it's due to the gun or me being bad.

The 590 (SAS) and M870 (GSG9) are both really good, haven't had too much luck with the GIGN shotgun.

The other operators all just have like a choice between an SMG/Rifle & a shotgun. In which case, you take the auto if you're on an opener map/want to plink and take the shotgun if you're on a close map/want to camp a specific area.

Always take foregrip, red dot, and compensator. You can pick up the ACOG if you plan to stand very far away and shoot into windows and poo poo but I find the ADS time is too slow when I equip it so I tend not to use it.

Pistols: I always like the choice that has more ammo/fires faster than the high damage options because being able to spam is important.

I saw this twice today. The idiot tried, couldn't find us, promptly got shot in no man's land.

Pubs are so inexplicably dumb in this game at times. I nearly lost a round 3v1 as attackers because our shield went in a room, started taking fire and ran, killing his teammate. I took care of things myself :commissar:

I absolute hate pump shot guns. You miss, you are probably screwed. If there are more than one, you are definitely screwed

Really pretty debatable, for example the L85A2 might have an extra 5 rounds in the magazine over the HK33, but the HK33 has a higher ROF and thus higher DPS. Same goes for the P90 with GIGN, you might not be able to shoot as accurately as with the MP5 and it has less damage per shot, but headshots still OHK as far as I know and you have a much higher ROF (so again, a higher DPS) with a higher capacity.

Really just try all of them, I don't think there's any particular meta for the weapons when it comes down to it.

I've followed the advice from earlier in the thread and unlocked Thermite and Rook as my first two guys, but as I understand it as they're so popular they tend to go quickly.

So who would you suggest I unlock next? Ideally I'd like to go for a couple of people who aren't very popular, so that I get to use them more often and really learn how to use them, but can still make a contribution to my team. If it helps, I didn't really get on with Glaz in his Situation.
