The patch did drop today indeed. As far as PC playerbase goes, Pulse spammers are really salty. Automatic shotguns no longer viable for hipfire spam across the hallways, but still feel like a decent choice for close quarters.

It was basically untouched so its better by comparison. SPAS15 similarly was untouched by the damage nerf, it only got hit by the dispersion.

So it did! It's still absolutely loving hilarious that the top-range damage falloff is half a meter. You basically have to stick your gun inside the other player to hit that.

At .5 meters if you hit your dispersion is going to be nil, so whoever you hit is going to be hit with all 8 pellets anyways (that's how shotgun damage in this is calculated, the damage shown is per pellet).

So then you agree that the 0.5m dropoff basically doesnt matter

Sounds like the Saiga would be a great gun for a 3 speed operator who can sprint up to opponents and stick the barrel down their throat! Wait, they put it on who? Oh...

It did previously when the damage drop for the Saiga was leagues above any other operator with a shotgun (20 damage at 9 meters is awful). Being a step further away meant you went from a down to being killed because the damage was just low enough.

Still, ain't anywhere near as bad as the AR-33 dropping off to like 14 damage at 15 meters plus. That poo poo ain't right. It's got the smallest mag size, one of the middling fire rates, and has the earliest damage falloff of any AR.

What do people think about a suppressor on Pulse's UMP? I find that it can win me fights when I'm able to sneak up on a group of 2-3 enemies. Without the suppressor, I find that they wheel around to shoot me much faster. It does obviously tank the damage though.

but didn't mumble win the first match 3-0 or were you guys lying to me as i was cheering?

@Wolfy do it, good plays or not it's always nice to see some Goon on Goon action.

Just an idea but we could organize some sort of monthly bullshit ladder/showdown between goons, nothing too serious but posting the results in the thread could be interesting.

Who knows, i could even maybe toss a little something for the winners. :toot:

I already complained in this thread about the idea of last man standing being an automatic hellspawn satan guy in the eyes of teammates, but wow that trend is even going on in casual. I'm sorry I only killed 3 guys by myself, obviously the fourth and last one should've been easy pickings at that point. Man, I really like this game but never give any playerbase the ability to not only shoot and kill teammates but also kick them, it can not lead to good things

I never use suppressors on defenders but I can see the logic. The UMP has a super distinctive sound thanks to the low rate of fire.

IDGI, theres always a ''last man standing'' in every single match. Unless you've been a kill-less Glaz outside for the whole match you don't deserve any type of poo poo for being alive..

Yea I know! In this case I was a defender watching a window where a guy was just peeking from. Rest of the team started running at enemies and died in seconds doing that, I killed 3 when they came to the objective room carelessly and then got popped by the last one from outside a window. Two people wanted me gone instantly.

I'll hate on the last guy only if he is doing stupid poo poo. One guy on our defending team as the last guy left against two severely injured attackers who were moving towards the object I've room. Our fearless last defender, however, was loving around on the wrong floor, far away from the objective, and even shooting out our cameras. When the attackers made it into the objective room, def Nader started low crawling there. We kicked him.

The latter. It really shouldn't be possible for someone to break a barricade, sprint out and have the entire spawning team in their sights within 2-3s of the round starting.

On maps where attackers spawn in entirely open areas (hello, Plane) I'm surprised they haven't just stuck the spawn points under the nose and tail where it's much, much harder to get an angle on people. There are fewer and fewer spawn kill points as each patch comes out but there is still a bunch, yeah (Kafe, Klub are somewhat notorious for them, Klub's C4 kill is obscene).

Incidentally its why I love Yacht's spawn points, I've never seen anybody get spawnkilled coming out from them. Even Border doesn't have it so good.
