The worst was before the anti-clipping patch, in my opinion. Getting shot because half of your torso is sticking outside the building was annoying as gently caress.

"Game freezing every 1-6 seconds for indeterminate amounts of time on pc. Possibly linked to hardware"

Hey gurl, hey.
Is this Lagswitch thing a recent phenomenon? I've seen it mentioned here and in the PUBG thread. The last time I remember anything like it was people hitting the standby button on their cable modems in Halo 2 multiplayer.

Was a thing in Arma 2 if I remember correctly, due to client side hit validation.

If a game's netcode will tolerate it people will do it.

I've been rubberbanded back through the kitchen on plane after running facefirst into a badguy who spends all his bullets shooting at me after I'm gone and then I'm free to run back in the kitchen and murder him while he reloads though which was pretty great.

Edit: Please increase the level required to play ranked to like, 50, or something.

I don't mind playing with newbies in casual but it's lovely to have to deal with people who will inadvertently throw my placement matches because they're still learning the game.

Someone's contribution over 9 rounds should not be 2 kills, 0 assists, and 7 deaths.

MMR matched you with unranked lvls 18 and 20.

Normally I'd put this sort of thing down to a lack of reading comprehension, but I think a better explanation is that you don't know how your game works, which I think explains a lot about the state it's in. :dukedog:

Haven't seen dudes on playing games, also I definitely made the mistake of playing daytime when I should have waited until after kids had been sent to bed.

I'm determined to ride it out though to see how bad an impact lovely new players have had on my ranking, but for reals 20 is way too soon to let players dive into ranked.

Edit: It's happening again...

This time it's a higher level squeaker :<

Am I the only one who feels like daily/weekly challenges actually drive me away from the game? They're supposed to make you play regularly to get the bonuses but they honestly feel like chores preventing me from playing the ops I want to play. Yes, I know I can just ignore them, but I play them for the rewards and it seriously dampens my enjoyment of the game. Not playing them makes me feel bad because I'm missing out.

They make me do things a little differently, you know, taking a shotgun when you'd normally just go with the SMG/Acog. It's neat to be enticed to change your playstyle a bit, even if I do usually just go Smoke or Echo for the full auto backup anyway.

The dailies aren't so bad (except for the loving Terrorist Hunt ones), but the weeklies are an absolute slog.

I like em both, but it's a bit bullshit that "win 4 rounds with this basic CTU that has 4 members" and "win 8 rounds with the Super premium deluxe dlc CTU with only 2 members over which you and your team will have to constantly fight over " gives you exactly the same rewards.
At least the win 20 ones give you a charm.

I don't want to win 20. That usually means playing like 50, always with the same loving operators. They're dull and they make the game less fun. It takes so long to do all my challenges that by the time I'm done the week is over and I have to do the new set instead of playing what I want. At best I spend at least half the week not playing what I want to be playing.

The 20 win ones don't even give renown and xp is meaningless. Unless you really want that charm, just ignore them.

Yeah, plus just after the 20 JTF2 ones. I'd gotten every challenge charm up until last week but it's just too much. For the best that I no longer feel committed to having to get them all at least.

I don't mind the larger challenges when the reward seems more worth it. I like the unique charms, like the recent Easter Challenge ones. But the Frost/Smoke/Kapkan birthday charms are not worth 20 rounds. I only got Frost's because I regularly play her. But the tiny medal with the OP sign on it is nothing to get excited for. Even the Union Jack charm from the Shakespeare challenge was more enjoyable. My point is: I wish the charms were actually cool.

The little gadget charms were neat, these new charms would have been better if they were just the full-colour icons rather than a medal with a tiny icon on them.

The pubbies in one of my matches last night tried to kick me, even though I was carrying them with 10-0 and no one else had a kill.
