Futuresight posted:The entire tone of the game would need to be built around uneasy alliances for mid-match teaming to be acceptable to players. Or at the very least not having team queues. My squad has had a few instances of mid game team ups and they've all been hilarious. Usually comes about in towns where my squad and another squad have a particularly violent clash with casualties on both sides and then a fresh squad shows up to vulture both of us. You'd be surprised how many people are up to team up in a truce to waste players like that. All it takes is attempting to talk to them. e- Also my pro setup is minimum M16/AKM w/ red dot (60 rounds) S1897 w/ choke (20 rounds) lvl 1 helmet lvl 2 vest lvl 2 bag 1 med kit 10 bandages 2 energy drinks maximum SKS w/ 4x (as much ammo as I can carry) UMP w/ angled, ext. quickdraw, red dot, suppressor lvl 2 helmet lvl 2 vest lvl 2 bag all the meds I can carry Finding lvl 3 armor is a bonus, and if I can't get an SKS an AKM or M16 will do VikingSkull fucked around with this message at 02:44 on Apr 24, 2017 |

Jerkface posted:Whats the ideal 2 weapon setup? Rifle + Shotgun? Double Rifle? One sniper rifle with an 8x zoom, one automatic rifle with a 2x. Generally ARs will beat shotguns at close range unless your opponent is super duper close or a crack shot, neither of which is very likely. In addition most close-quarters stuff happens early game and if you're in the top 20 you are probably going to be fighting in an open field, making close range weapons completely useless. For snipers, I like the Kar the best. The first shot is the most important and is usually the only "clean" shot (i.e the guy isn't loving legging it away from the bullets) so the damage is front-loaded rather than the SKS which can give them much longer to escape. For ARs either the M4 or SCAR both work fine.

Any AR with at least a 4x scope and a suppressor, body armor/helmet, as many first aid kits and painkillers as possible, a choked over under shotgun with bullet loops, smoke grenades, frag grenades, and a dacia. That is my ideal end game kit. Getting a suppressed longarm means you can poke people at long range at relatively low risk, and when the circle starts to get tight you can assault ideal positions with your dacia, hop out, and blast them with the shotgun for the lowest time to kill out of any of the weapons. The only time the shotgun will fail you is if you miss your shots, and that is totally your fault for missing a killing blow with a shotgun at low ranges. If the game comes down to just a few people, that's when the grenades become the thing that can win or lose matches for you. The first person to land a good grenade will usually be the winner once the circle gets really tight if you can't break the stalemate before that point.

My regular squad refuses to use 8x scopes on ARs and always leave that to me. What do? How can I make them understand that an AR w/8x is a decent substitute for an SKS or a sniper?

I've tried leading, I've tried accounting for bullet drop, I don't know if it is lag or what, but my squad mates are always better off if I have a normal scope.

Oh for sure, if I have a sniper rifle I'll throw an 8x on it, but I'll take a 4x if I have the choice. I'll often carry both if I can, if I need an 8x to aim at someone, I'll usually have enough time to switch it up on the fly.

Tried the game, it's good stuff except every first game doesn't load right and I can hear the plane then myself landing but the screen is still hidden by a loading screen. Other times, when it does load, buildings still take a minute to become more than misshapen boxes. So, is it time for an ssd or is 8 gigs of RAM not enough?

I would love to play it with a 4 player squad. I've had the game lock up post game and a couple times when I parachute in the buildings all look like they're melted and I can't go in any of them. It does clear itself up and hasn't happened every game though. Add me on steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/WhaleCancer

This has definitely lead to me dying more than a few times. Fortunately this bug has been recognized by the dev team and hopefully they'll fix it soon.

It happens frequently enough, I think it is more likely to happen if you're doing some other inventory manipulation when trying to load the weapon, or if you begin reloading it very soon after picking it up. Though really it's probably related to desync in some manner.

I just had a round where I landed in A Bad Situation all the way on the other side of the map from the safe zone along with three other folks whom quickly were executed. I basically booked it on foot across literally the entire map spending about 10 full minutes in the blue just constantly eating bandaids and medkits and ended up in 10th place only dying because i was reloading the drop-in sniper rifle right on the edge of the top right ruins. This is a good game

I quite like the 8x on an M16 tbh (used as my long range gun ofc. I will inventory juggle if I don't have a better gun for close combat). It makes it super easy to land 2 very fast head shots. However, I hate the x2 scope and will use a red dot/holo over it on anything but the sniper rifles (if I don't have x4 or above yet). Anyone else feel like the SKS have gotten stealth fixed? After this update I have actually managed to use it effectively and might actually use it over an M16 now (the KAR is ofc still king). I also agree with other poster praising SMGs (especially the UMP). I loving love that thing now at close to mid ranges and will probably pick it over any of the ARs. It has won me a few games now.

I best someone to death with a frying pan after he missed 5/7 shots with the revolver then proceeded to try and reload for 5m with nothing while I beat him. The funniest part was he was beside a 1911 with ammo and i dunno why he didn't use that instead.

Last night I dropped in on the apartment buildings near the school when I noticed one poor bastard landing on the same roof as me. I managed to nab a machete right off the bat and start chasing this guy throughout the whole complex. He's circling rusted out cars, tearing through buildings, all with me in hot pursuit wildly swinging a giant blade inches from his face and screaming like a deranged lunatic. Desperate to lose me he exploded into a building. I'm sad to say that the instant he smashed through the door he caught a point blank face full of buckshot from a 686, showering me with brains and bits of skull. Furious that this dude just horned in and blasted my hard earned kill, I proceeded to hack him death while he clumsily reloaded, wailing like a banshee. Game is good.

I didn't look very hard in this thread to see if this has been posted already but the trick to get down super fast is holding down W until it's just above the white part of the bar and then letting go, you'll skip a 3rd of the parachute time and have a lot more speed heading towards the ground. The vector is also super op at the time of posting this, relatively easy to find a suppressor for and does good things at short-medium range.

Does that parachute thing work at any speed? Generally if I just fly forward first and then dive in the end I can each 230 or whatever the magic number is which lets me kinda of continue falling while the chute is deploying. You are saying that letting go of W will do that for any speed?

It's my understanding that to get the best distance when doing a long jump, you should deploy as soon as you can, then pump W so that your descending speed is 45-50km/h. Then you can go about 2km (2 of the big yellow squares). A good tactic to get away from the mobs. Huh, that's that vidya games commentator - think she was involved in the BF1 launch events. Funny to see her being unprofessional and swearing.

Yeah that works but you'll still get places a lot faster going for a vehicle, you are putting yourself at a disadvantage parachuting that long.

The parachute extension method is best used to get to lower populated areas, not distant cities. You want to get to the small groups of houses and avoid possibly landing near people who also want that car to get away. If you use it in that fashion, it works just fine.
