These are really really hit and miss, I've ordered 3 of them and they've all not worked (one worked if it physically touched my lips which is a little awkward to use).

A lot of people from the Siege group bought HyperX Cloud IIs because they were bundled (or just because of how good they are); they're pretty nice. Bonus, they come with an additional set of earpads if you want velour over pleather.

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.

Same. They've added more than enough quality of life stuff to the game, we don't need that too.

You don't even need nice headphones because the sound detection in this game is piss simple. Any pair of stereo headphones will work. When you hear something, look around until you find the direction the sound is the loudest. It will get quieter the further away it is. I'm not even sure sound is affected by walls, and if it is it doesn't affect your ability to find the sounds source. It's not like rainbow six siege where sound goes down hallways and through windows and poo poo. With some basic practice you can track people through walls easily.

I've found a clever way to gently caress with people when they don't know where you're shooting them from. Sometimes they'll be running around a rock or something to find out where the 'safe' spot is. Eventually they'll guess correctly but if you take another shot or two directly above their cover or right at it sometimes it'll spook them into rotating again- providing you another shot.
This works extra well with a suppressor, you can pock the ground or their cover on one side and they'll think you had a shot but missed, rotating the other way and exposing them for an actual shot.

Another thing I've found works, though it doesn't come up all the time or anything: if you see someone at a bit of distance moving through a lot of available cover, but you can make a shot (eg. moving through a wooded area). Wait for them to go into a small clearing or pass a big rock that was covering them in a direction that you're not in. Then take the shot. Even with the locational sounds of the shot, odds are good they'll factor in that they just recently exposed themselves from whatever direction and will back up and take cover against it. Now they're hunkered down to get their bearings on where you are, meanwhile you have an open shot and they are holding still or at least moving a lot less for you to finish the job.

Every time I down someone and have to reload before finishing them off I feel like its that scene in Schindlers List where the guard pulls out a bunch of jews, orders them to lay on the floor and shoots them all in the head, except he runs out of ammo before the last one and stands there reloading very slowly before killing him.

Yeah I was about to add that as long as we're posting our wishlist I really want them to add wall-banging. There's a lot of CS:GO habits that are getting me killed in this game. Trying to wall-bang or letting off the trigger after I'm 'sure' enough bullets have hit to take an opponent down.

From what I heard he's actually planning to make the fuckboi shacks destructible. Some quality-of-life improvements I'd like to see is being able to reliably jump over waist high fences, and being able to jump out of windows.

I've found myself doing much better by just going for kills. I took second in a solo match by being aggressive. (Last guy was invisible I swear to god)

He might have been. I was walking through an alley last night and a guy just phased into existence in front of me going full rock and roll on my face. As soon as he stopped shooting he disappeared again. I thought maybe I just missed him and he was blending in or something, but then I could see him dropping items as he looted me, but his model wasn't visible.

The real reason you knock out the windows is because otherwise when you go to ADS and shoot someone and you're standing a fraction of an inch to close to the window you point your gun down and end up shooting the floor in front of you.

Grenades will penetrate windows. They have a graphical glitch where they appear to bounce off, but then the server corrects them and has them go through.

Source: I throw grenades through windows at people all the time and never have them bounce unless I hit bars or the window sill
