Nope. I am use to cs where you aim at bodies / heads.. it never works. I swear I have to aim up or something. Aiming at a body doesn't work.

These are from the same game. I'm pretty proud of this kill:

But the way the match started was so drat goofy. The dude did everything he could to shake me and ignored a lot of guns to run!

Change your zero, the default is 100 and often times you'll be engaging farther than that if you have a 4/8x.

No, don't. Zeroing doesn't work properly i.e. If you change it to 300m and shoot at someone at 300m with the center cross hair, you will miss. It's easier to do it by hash marks if you can see where the bullet lands.

I agree completely. The hard times make for more fun.

Weed baby driver and I had a really fun fight yesterday where each of us only had one mag, we killed the other dup but needed to run off when a second group appeared. Had my blood pumping.

Fuck you say?
Did a bunch of solo matches just now and I have no idea how people end the game with 3+ kills. I can barely manage one and that's only in self defense at the start of the game, otherwise my nerves are too wracked and I just give my position away and die to the person I was trying to kill.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

It's more chance sometimes. I ran into a squad coming up a staircase when I had a Saiga w/extended mag. Ended up with six kills before I ate it.

I've shifted from the "drive to the furthest military loot from the plane's path and don't leave until my bags are full" strat to just scrounging in smaller compounds.

It's been a lot more fun for me, both because I actually get to use something besides an m16, and I actually get some action in the early game. I know it's been posted a hundred times already but drat the shotguns feel great.

Also, my flying head punch technique is undefeated vs. desperate scramble to find and load a gun. Jump punch headshots rule.

I am a huge proponent of the both the over-under shotgun and punching dudes so I approve of this post. I want to practice more with umps and uzis now that the loot has been whittled down. I used to find smg suppressors all over the place last patch, anyone know if that was hosed with too?

Solo is by far the game mode with the most scrubs, two separate engagements I would shoot at some pubs in an open field and they would just lay down prone with no cover instead of trying to make a dash for nears piece of cover

Anyone have advice on sound? I want it up loud enough to hear footsteps, but not loud enough to get my eardrums blown out when I get unexpectedly shot.

Hmm, you can't really mix any of the in-game elements (and really you shouldn't be able to because that would screw your perception of distance but that's a sperg for another post). If you're using in-ear headphones this might serve to make the loud noises more jarring, otherwise I don't know.

Is there a good way to tell how to fire the Crossbow? Specifically, I have no idea what the drop is and I can't see bolts after I've fired. :(

I won a game with 10 kills :cool:

I started out with like 3 or 4 and by the time the circle was getting smaller, I kept picking people off or snuck up on them. Positioning is the name of the game.

In the game I just won, positioning was everything. I only got 2 kills the whole game, all I had was a micro uzi, never found any healing items. It made it all the more tense while I was flitting from hay bale to tree to rock, with the electricity behind me until it was time for the final shootout.

I need a break.

They stick in walls, so you can shoot at a certain spot on a distant building, walk up to the building and see how far it dropped.

A buddy of mine was creditted with a 2.7KM hand grenade kill that he had nothing to do with. I'm pretty sure he doesn't cheat, although he fluctuates in and out of the Top 10 for Squad.

Thing I miss in this from Arma is just scouting options like binoculars (or the rangefinder). Having the ability to scout without needing a scope would make the RNG not as awful.

UMP has more range to it but the only weapon that's better than the Uzi at straight up murdering idiots close range is the 686 w/ a choke.

I've really fucked it. Have I fucked it?
WARNING: boring clips ahead!

Man, this game gets my heart racing even when it is an "easy" kill where I am holed up in a house.

A simple kill like this and I can barely breathe:
https://streamable.com/aimos

Or then I gently caress it up, like here (same house):
https://streamable.com/xg9r4
I had two ARs, but I default to my Battlefield mousewheel binds and pull out the loving pan. Wish I could just disable mouse wheel weapon switching.

Yet another fuckup. How did I not hear where that guy went? I can hear it now, of course.
https://streamable.com/lcb3c

I am terribad at this game, but I love clipping my kills and deaths, to try and work out how I hosed up. It still doesn't really help when I get taken out with zero warning though.
Some Goon tuition is required!

In this clip, I spin around, and it totally messes up my trying to figure out where the shot came from. RIP level 3 helmet. Then I panic prone. What do you think, from the NE?
https://streamable.com/5i9qq

Here is a very embarrassing clip. It felt like I was well in the house so I thought the guy was already in the house (hence the panic spraying). How do you play this one out? Do you not even go in the house? this was in Venice, and I don't know the area well at all.
https://streamable.com/ordnq

Can anybody spot the guy at the SE? Maybe behind a rock? I guess it doesn't matter cos this silenced (??) Vector just shreds me.
https://streamable.com/2u2r9

Is this just a no-win situation? Wide open field for the circle. I don't even know how many people light me up, and I feel embarrassed that I did not even see anybody. Do not know where anybody was.
https://streamable.com/qvc9h

Bonus question:
Where exactly do I aim with an ACOG? With this headshot kill, it looks like I am shooting low. I have the default 100m zeroing - are the Eastern apartment blocks 100m away from the school?
