Counterintuitive to the way the game needs to be played. How are you supposed to maintain momentum or bunny-hop with any accuracy if your right thumb is constantly having to leave the aim stick in order to twiddle between slide and jump?

I'm not sure if standard shooter controls apply to a game that's way more about traversal.

Preemptively aim where you need to go before hopping or wall running. I haven't felt uncomfortable using the regular controls at least.

I do find myself biffing the occasional wall run because of it now that I think about it though.

I like the idea of someone getting banned for taking a picture of a Doritos bag. or actually going to the store to take a picture of a doritos bag to win an internet argument :lol:

This convo is dumb anyways


I've sent out a ton of codes. If you haven't gotten any at all lmk. Also, I'm not giving them out for the sole purpose of you getting double xp, it's so people can get the execution/skin. The double xp only works for one game so it's pretty lame

Yeah it's drat near required in this game especially if you use the grappling hook. Did take some getting used to. Hitting abilities or boosts is sometimes a pain. Some people run melee as circle and crouch as R3 to just jump/crouch speed run everywhere

Really? I found bumper jumper harder to use with grappling hook because don't you need to aim the grappling hook to maximize momentum (since you have to take your thump off RS to hit X)

I know bitching about Legion is beating a dead horse but another thing that is incredibly bs about him is that half of the cover in the game doesn't seem to block his bullets at all. They just go right through.

Just got this tonight and jumped right into the multi because my buddy wanted to play. I had nooooo idea wtf was going on at first but I'm getting the hang of it over time.

I don't really think I understand bounty mode. I'm trying to rack up money but I feel like I die a lot. I see people dropping off like 1000 at the bank while I'm still running around with 60.

This is not a game I can watch the killcams for

because half the time the guy I was shooting was looking at me for a solid two or three seconds before I could see them, or I just jumped over a wall into their crosshair

kill grunts and robots for raw amount added to the score, as you also rack up bonus money. Deposit bonus money during bank phase, kill enemy players to steal half of their bonus banked money.

"I... I did well, didn't I?"
Can someone bridge the intermediate to pro gap on sliding for me, I watch videos of people and they slide and just kind of gradually turn their slides and jumps at top speed. But whenever I slide it's in a straight line, and when I jump no matter where I'm looking my momentum keeps me on that straight axis so my next slide continues in the same direction, so I gradually slow down, or sometimes I'll turn a bit but immediately grind to a stop.

Shame it doesn't have a similar server setup.

Ok I don't have this down pat yet but I occasionally don't gently caress up the inputs and steer my slides a little.

In order to steer, as I understand it you have to strafe in the direction you want to turn, you also have to move your mouse in that direction (however as you said, since your view is independent of your slide direction, how much you move it that way doesn't matter, any measurable movement of your view in the direction you want to steer will do).

The other lynchpin that wasn't as clear to me was that steering only happens while you are sliding, not during the bunny hop, or while you are in the air, so you don't need to be holding your strafe or turning the whole time, although that might be easier than training yourself to start and stop. You can also slide a little longer to get more turn. Wrong, it looks like your inputs during the slide start the turn, but you do still turn in air if you were turning in your slide. That would mean you can't change the direction of your steering until you land and Frothy's video seems to back that up.

It's up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S6LzcmWLOo I've heard on FrothyOmen's stream that he will be making another video about it with an input monitor overlay and I have a feeling that's going to clear up any confusion on how it works.

And even when you understand it, I still don't do it when I'm trying to most of the time. One should probably practice in a private lobby for a few minutes everyday until you get it down. The first part is making the straight line sliding automatic, jump crouch, jump crouch, jump crouch. Then you add the steering inputs which will inevitably make you gently caress up the slide-hopping.

It's a bit misleading. Depending on the mode it takes into account how many grunts/spectres you kill, how many titans you blow up, etc

Moving at the speed of death.


The thing that gets me with the slide jumping is how the gifted players are constantly in slide mode in such a way that their gun stays angled perfectly without even a small hitch.

When I try it, it's clear that I just can't consistently hit crouch right after the jump.

It's buffered, so you can hit crouch before you get near the ground.
