how do they work?
Yeah, best way to do it I find it to just melee while stood further back than you used to.

In other news, i've now learned to just fire in the rough direction enemy fire is coming from rather than trying desperately to see them. Most of the time I can't, but I'll still trade because somehow i'll hit them.

I also had my best round ever, it was on the biker bar, four of them were stacked up outside near the bikes and weren't expecting the recruit to nitro the wall in the garage and cut them all down before they could see where I was coming from. Flanking is fun!

Slow firing but accurate and stable. It's good if you need range.

I do not hear you, I do not see you, I will not let you get into the Duggler's head with your bring-downs.

Tactical realism is pretty awesome, I look forward to maybe playing it one more time ever based on how much everyone else seemed to dislike it

I basically felt like I was alone and isolated because of the lack of friendly information. Doing it on the new map was terrifying/hilarious though, call outs are meaningless when nobody knows where anything is

Welcome to the glorious world of the lighting bug. You either get light like this or where there's no shadows on the map at all. It, ironically, is more annoying when in a casual match because there's zero chance you can ever load back into casual.

Nah I'm with ya on it being fun.

I think once everyone gets past the initial "yo gently caress this there's no info!" its super fun.

Thermite is a very useful attacker, he carries 2 Exo-Thermic Charges which allow him to breach reinforced walls. He also has a good gun (the assault rifle). On defence Rook is also great, he provides armour panels for the rest of the team, increasing the amount of damage they take before dying, and also increasing the likelihood of them going DBNO (Down, but not out) instead of outright dying.

How accurate are the little graphs on the Recoil Compensator/Flash Hider? Trying to figure out Buck's weapon, the kick is really all over the place and the little chart seems to suggest it doesn't change it much. Would love a little firing range mode where I could test the attachments.

The thing is the little graph only display the first 5 shots when most gun empties its magazine in less than 3 seconds.

For real though, it would be really handy to have a firing range style map that you could test weapons and attachments on. One of the CoD games allows you to instantly load into a firing range map from the loadout screen. It's really handy. All shooters should have one.

I am Gold now in ranked and finding opponents seems pretty hard, especially alot of people will leave when they see a high level. Also sometimes15-25 level people seem to get into my lobby (was thinking minimum is 20).

Rook/Ash are probably #1 to unlock, followed by Smoke/Sledge. A lot of other classes require more experience to use them effectively.

With Ash be careful that you don't use your grenade launcher on the first thing you see. You only have two rounds. Use it on doors/windows that are too dangerous to approach on foot.

Or areas that would require you to be in the location otherwise. Example: Bank, second floor by the elevator banks. Putting a round through the lobby there gives you a sight line all across the second floor hallway, from front lobby to the copy room.

No, it's not. I've had it happen to me several times.

If you melee a barricade and your model clips through the laser while punching a hole in the barricade, it will blow up.

Yes, it is. It happens because you're trying to shove your fat rear end through the door while hitting it. You just said it yourself. Using melee on the door at laser level does not trigger traps, this is misinformation. Touching the laser triggers traps, which won't happen if you're standing a safe and smart distance away from the door.

Newbie impressions:

I played some single player and multiplayer during the free weekend. Fun stuff. I've never played more than a bit of Counter Strike because it's hard to learn - I would get insta killed by a seasoned pro only to have to wait a long time for the next round for it to happen again. I enjoyed the pacing of this game much more and the destructible environments and tight spaces give it a much different feel that I am more comfortable with. It also helped that most other players were trying it for the free to play weekend, so I was never the worst player in a game. I bit the bullet and got it for $20.

I was more nervous playing it afterwards. I went 1 to 1 with the last man standing in an enemy team winning a comeback for our team in the overtime round. Everyone congratulated me which was a really unusual experience in an online shooter. In another match a player was upset I couldn't switch away from recruit, and the rest of my team shut him down pointing out that I was only level 3 and told me not to worry about it. It's like I've stepped into some bizarro world where people playing online military shooters are mostly friendly.

A+ game. Please be friendly and patient with noobs. When I unlock rook please continue to remind me to hold r1 and look at the ground.

He answered the question "Does this mean you can get blown up by punching a hole in a barricade that has a Kapkan trap at the exact height you punched?" with "Yes."

Considering touching the laser is what triggers it then no, it's literally not what he's saying. At best it's vague, and vague isn't helpful to new players.

This game has a way of kicking you down and making you feel like a bad player and then one day you get a triple kill in half a second for the tiebreaker win.
