Sure, if you want to be outed as a scrub. vvv They should really just go back to the old style, total revert of the Pulse buff. Jehde fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Aug 21, 2016 |

The main issue is since his gadget now shows real time position he can jump out a window with his crosshair already on your face instead of having to aim at you like he did before which at least gave you a chance to fight back.

Best newbie defenders in my opinion are Rook (just drops extra armor for everyone), Valkyrie maybe (throws sticky cameras around) though she might need some map learnin', and I guess Mute (stops electronics with his deployable gadgets, put them around reinforced walls to stop breaching). For assault maybe Sledge (hammers through non-reinforced walls and has grenades), Thermite (can blow up reinforced walls) and probably Fuze (deploys a gadget that shoots grenades thru walls, good for clearing out enemy gadgets and an occasional lucky kill or drawing enemy attention). All of those have guns I like a lot, assault dudes have good assault rifles and the defenders some nice shotties. Also newbies should probably use characters with an armor rating of 2 or more, at least to me the 1 armor ones feel way too fragile and I just die alot  All I wrote can freely be corrected by someone cooler and better than me. That's just what I've kinda picked up on the basics.

While many operators are flavor of the month type of thing, you've got it it right, I'd say. Not going to write an essay with imminent major balance changes, so long story short for Operators 101 to add to your post is Bandit on defense and Thatcher on attack (from the affordable operators). Thatcher's EMP grenades can disable electronics through walls, jammers and electricity including, which is why he's essential for fellow Termite's success. Bandit, on the flipside, can put electricity up to a reinforced wall roughly twice as quick as it takes for Termite to blow one up, hence if you keep a generator or two handy, when their Thatcher blows up your jammers, you can plug electricity to the wall being breached, destroying the charge and denying them entry. Bandit also has a fairly decent gun, just slam ACOG scope on it. Playing Thatcher, keep in mind that if you throw an EMP grenade inside something, Jager's anti-grenade gadget will shoot EMP grenade down, so best throw it as outside as possible, just next to the wall. Playing Bandit, try to figure out which walls the enemy team will try to breach, and shoot them up a bit before reinforcing them - it will be much easier to hear Termite planting a charge, if you've done so. Rook/Valkyrie/Mute/Bandit and Pulse/Caveira is a very solid combination on defense, as of now. Sure you can argue about snorting lines of dried Mountain Dew and picking Jager + Recruit, but c'mon. As Fuse primarily player (  ) I have to say that shield on him is worthless, AK takes some time to learn to shoot decently well. Also, the grenade gadget is not equally useful on all maps. For my playstyle, it's roughly this:Nice: Kafe Dostoyevsky, Kanal, Plane, Hereford Base Questionable: Bank, Chalet, House, Clubhouse, Consulate, Favela Meh: Yacht, Border, Oregon Either way, on offense it always is very good to have Termite and Thatcher, no matter the map. On Plane map Glaz is very good. Ash is very solid offensive pick too, so can be Sledge (though to a lesser extent). You can grab IQ if their team has a Pulse running rampant. Oh, and no matter the side, all DLC operators are very strong. Nonetheless, however, there's not really a substitute for advantages of Termite+Thatcher on offense and Rook+Valkyrie+Mute/Bandit on defense. tl;dr Every operator can give you fun, even as operators as weak as Tachanka. If you can't figure out what to have fun with, take Termite/Thatcher or Rook/Valkyrie/Mute/Bandit. Squeegy posted:Wrong. The best newbie operators are Castle and Blackbeard. Pick them always, don't let anyone make you pick anything else. Don't get me wrong, take him if it's your thing, but his advantages are rather situational.

When you play Thatcher you'll need to get pretty good at making sure your grenades don't fall off whatever you want EMP'd; on some maps it's best to zipline up and aim for the window sill so that it just stays there and doesn't fall off. Favelas especially.

smuh posted:Just like his unlock video! Where he spins around an empty room and then poses coolly. Man, Tachanka is such a badass. All of the operators' intro videos are pretty accurate depictions of how they should be used. For instance, make sure to blast music while you play Blitz, flash people, and immediately drop your shield to shoot at them. What about operators that don't have intro videos, like Buck, I hear you ask? Well, it's the same answer. Don't.

Got one of my buddys into this last night, won 5 out of 7 games. He thinks he did awful the entire time because he's not killing anyone but he's doing a real good job of distracting shields while I go stab them in the back. He also now has more operators than me with like 5 hours played, while i have 31 hours or so. He paid the same price for the game as I did for the starter edition. gently caress my life E: Also the best operator for newbies is clearly Kapkan. Put down your reinforcements/door traps. When someone walks into one type "TACTICOOL" in all chat. Bathe in the praise you will get from both teams when you go 1/5/0 dogstile fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Aug 22, 2016 |

Well here's a glitch I've never seen before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qPTelJNkrg Also, played against some guys on Chalet who just straight up shot Thermites charges off the snowmobile garage door from inside. We were unable to do it back though.

Last night was a pile of steaming poo poo for me. If I even made it through a game without it booting us back to the main menu (hard fix your game!) it was going up against one guy in every game who'd carry his entire team off his back. Felt like before battleeye. Goddamn i hate/love this game.

kalstrams posted:This is so frighteningly accurate. Reminds me a lot of the time when I frequently played Planetside 2, easily the "best" coded FPS game in history. Some of the bugs were outright amazing - like the the time a patch did break gravity, and bullet drop was working the other way around. Honestly, i think if they nerf shotguns a little bit (a lot of my deaths last night were due to people "sniping" with auto shotties at silly ranges) and if I get a little better i'll have a whole lot more fun. I can't compete with the twitchy fucks that play this right now. Last night I smashed a hole in a window and got instantly headshotted. The dude heard the board break (understandable), turned around 180 and headshotted me before i could aim in (less fun). It's ridiculous.

I'm mostly annoyed with mountains of technical problems, and some of the current design decisions. As far as playing in itself goes, I dislike that some operators have to be taken obligatory, and some are nearly useless, regardless of the situation. Also, something should be done about automatic shotguns indeed, and C4. The peeking meta takes word "Siege" to a whole new level of mockery either, but I doubt anything meaningful can be done in that regard.

The peeking meta would be helped if alternately you could see out and in on daytime maps. As a defender being forced to play the interior because you literally can't see out windows is utter hell half the time.
