Its OK Hard, you are a good person even if parts of the game are trash. You probably didn't even work on those parts very long!

Monty still good as gently caress to be honest. Revolver is essentially pointless now, but the P9 still does work since you have plenty of bullets to cheese a headshot with. Additionally, it's kind of demoralizing to get hit with even if it doesn't 2 shot you.

March forward with shield extended. Then drop shield, crouch, fire once or twice. Extend shield. Rinse and repeat.

It was a welcome change for me, after coming off of a Halo 5 binge for several months. Love this game, can't stop playing. I've even caved for some of the games various microtransactions. But, I feel like half of my time with it is just spent getting booted from the servers or having to relaunch the game because of some stupid error message.

Thief posted:

yeah the "where would i be" potshotting pays off relatively often in this game

This is why I always try to be skeptical even when my first reaction is "no loving way that dudes hacking."

So many times I've taken a random shot at a window or wall and come up with a headshot, it probably looked like I was hacking in a bunch of these situations too.

My comment towards your link is that guys with hundreds if not thousands of hours in this game saw the vid and acted as if they had an epiphany. THIS IS BULLSHIT, this is why i always die and can't kill poo poo.

Games not perfect and probably will never be to everyone's standards but this kind of thing is funny to me as lots of pros are posting videos of good peak corners which takes advantage of this exact feature and the community is drinking it up as it will help them bring their a-games. However, when it gets explained and compared to entirely different shooters now it's bullshit.

Bullets landing in front of your face in reality but on your client get caught on a doorway or window frame is a big issue and has nothing to do with peaking. The game client is giving the player false information.

So after being unable to connect to servers all weekend I tried forcing connecting to a different datacenter and bam, straight in no problems. Maybe they should change it so it cycles them if they are unreachable for whatever reason?

I thought all of this "bullet comes from the crosshair" stuff was apparent to anyone who had seen a killcam.

Are you joking? Since the first day of Siege we've been told to expect killcams to be inaccurate, for one. I personally have always just assumed that there was penetration through the object they hit to shoot me. Why would I think that the bullets were coming out of the loving crosshair but only on their screen so I didn't get any indication?

Hard, I love your game, but that's an "animations flipped since release in TF2" level bug.

Fuckin' 30,000 people playing this game but I can't get a solo queue casual match in over 5 minutes.

e: Nevermind, apparently it's a new bug where I'm in a game but on my screen I'm still sitting in the matchmaking screen.

He seems awesome, but every time I play him, I just get royally owned. I'll see someone behind a wall and go to pop them, but it almost always backfires.

I like watching Macie play as Pulse, cause he's awesome with the operator.

A lot of times I'll be like "oh look! there's somebody...right....HERE!"---blam, dead. I get caught putting away the motion detector as they're coming in.

Its hard to find people to team up for it, but a competent 2-man team of Pulse and Caveira is the most fun thing you can do in Siege.

I love when I'm Pulse and am playing with a mate in Discord, the amount of wall / window bangs we get are so satisfying. I just stand by shootable walls / windows and call out when there's an enemy.

Had a short phase where I almost exclusively played Pulse. I love his shotgun and use only that, as I figure he should be mainly for getting a close jump on the enemy anyway. Though I do often gently caress up with window kills, since his sensor takes so much time to put away, the enemy has usually moved by the time I shoot.

May 31, 2013




Ye I stopped using the shotgun cause wallbanging / windowbanging people was annoying as gently caress, seeing as the first spray would usually hurt them only a little and they'd panic fire and kill me. I used his other gun and I was getting kills more consistently.

To put this in context there's basically no public BattlEye cheats because the system sorta rootkits you. The only ones around are custom ones people pay a buttload for that do stuff like display information on a second screen (eg, the poo poo Clever got caught for in Siege)

Quoting from the PUBG thread. Is Clever the guy posted a few weeks ago who kept obviously staring at his second screen before killing people he had no idea were there? I love reading about cheaters getting caught.

I just don't understand cheating in multiplayer. It's one thing to exploit a map (e.g. a glitched camping spot) for the occasional "lulz," another thing to have a program running through a second monitor to help you get kills. Unless your intention is to just be a jackass. So, what, it gets you to the top of the leaderboards and into MLG status? Congratulations, you are number 1 at video games via cheating. Would at least be much more impressive if you worked hard for it.

Anyway, back to Siege discussion.

Just remember you have to have the jammer down before she sets it off. If you put the jammer down while it's going off, you won't stop it. Same with Bandit's battery.

Team-based operators are really satisfying to play as, but if the enemy has a Thatcher, gl hf, all your poo poo gets exploded. I wish his EMP grenade disabled gadgets for a few minutes instead of outright causing them to explode (that's not how EMPs work!). So I'm always torn between placing gadgets fully at the start of the round, or placing one or two and keeping one as a backup for if my poo poo gets exploded.

Playing as attackers without a Thatcher and a defending team filled with team-based operators is insanely frustrating. You can't breach where you wanna breach, nothing works, it causes you to go the long way round. So I always try and roll Thatcher if possible.

When playing Mute, I generally like to keep at least one jammer on backup in case of Thatcher/Twitch.

Thatcher doesn't seem to be as necessary in casual, since a lot of people don't seem to know how to efficiently use Mute, and Bandit can only cover so many walls. Though I feel a lot of people are unprepared for him, so he can really screw the enemy over with the right team combo.
