Condoleezza Nice! posted:Can anyone explain to me why NA servers are so much better than EU servers? I live in glorious socialist paradise Scandinavia and I get way less stupid poo poo happening and a way smoother game when I play on NA than EU. Less rubber banding, I never get shot through walls. Way, WAY less lag. What is going on? EU servers overloaded, lovely route to your pc from whichever server you're connecting to, better network infrastructure. Take your pick, really.

The SKS and Kar98 are the best weapons in the entire game for the sole reason that if you leave them lying on the floor of a house with some 7.62 absolutely everyone who sees them will be 100% convinced that no one has ever been there before and will not bother checking to see if there's someone lying prone on the couch with a shotgun.

The SKS' increased fire rate over any of the other snipers is offset by the fact that its accuracy using that fire rate is utter trash.

From a couple of pages ago, but:Inzombiac posted:If I were to make a game like this there's one major change I'd make: This sounds like a pretty cool alternative to the circles. It could even have one grid be excluded from the row or column that turns red, so it wouldn't always have to be adjacent to the border and it would create a chokepoint much like the bridges do now, without having to be on a bridge. It could also alternate between horizontal and vertical lines of exclusion. It'd have to be on a slightly smaller map, though, I think.

Looking for an ex-quickdraw mag and having to open up the inventory screen to check only for it to just be a quickdraw because you can't see if it's blue or grey is annoying as poo poo. Unless it's cause they plan on making the loot locations more random than they are now I don't see the reason at all. I never had problems spotting loot.

Actually don't listen to this guy, the yellow highlighting is a godsend for those of us who have shadows and different light levels turned on. Some rooms are stupidly dark, and the highlighting is a literal lifesaver.

I've spent the last few weeks evangelizing this game and a friend of mine finally picked it up last night. He got a chicken dinner on his first match ever  It was a squad match so his team carried him but still. Everyone in the discord spent the next five minutes telling him how he absolutely shouldn't expect that to happen again for a long time

Schiavona posted:Sounds like the other dude deserved it I'm just trying to figure out how a crossbow 1 shots through a lv3 helmet or lv2 armor or an arm/leg shot. It didn't say I died by a headshot and I was still wearing my helmet on my body when I died so it couldn't have been that. So it had to have been a torso, arm or leg shot which why does that 1 hit kill

Next patch will apparently fix some glitchy behavior with the way guns work, will make aiming a lot more consistent - https://www.facebook.com/playbattlegrounds/videos/1839956242994958/ Also apparently bullets are rendered as physics objects after all.

My little brother was dead for literally all of his 4 wins until last night (where he has only knocked down). Two of the ones where he was dead featured our best player solo in a 4 man squad game for the last 25 people, including one where he killed the rest of the final 10 by himself.

Circle was closing in on the hill just south of the school apartments. Me and my friend were loaded up and had a car but there was really nowhere safe to stop at all. It was either open field of death or stop in the hill where there'd be a prick hiding behind every piece of cover. So we (I) opted to just drive in a circle and hope to god that we find a piece of cover to park up at where we wouldn't get instantly shot. It didn't really work out! As we frantically drove through the circle and knocking 2 guys over in the process my pal got shot out the back of the car as I sped through the middle of every bastard left and crashed into a tree before jumping out right next to a squad. Dropped them both with my silenced ex.mag vector. Got shot from behind as soon as I'd finished them off by another squad. Dropped them both with the vector. Got shot at again by a third squad and managed to get behind a tree to first aid. Killed one of them and the next white circle was south of me and I was further south than everyone left. Managed to break to the next piece of cover while the last few guys fought it out between themselves and it was down to 1 guy at the edge of the blue and me in hard cover in the white.  I think 7 of those kills happened within the span of 2~ minutes

the best raifu is the m16a4 w/ suppressor and extendo mag best cqc weapon is full-auto vector cannon with extendo mag i wish they would up the drop rate of ghillie suits because crawling on the ground in the middle of nowhere with an m249 and having people run past you to catch 100rnds of 5.56 in the back is truly a joy everyone should experience. in most games i never see anyone in a ghillie, but maybe they were all just well hidden? either that or play sniper elite with two snipers and a pan

Had a good start in Pochinki, used my shotgun to down 4 of the 14 or so people that dropped into the area. Found a car in a garage, but wanted to check out the nearby houses cause I had no scopes. Haven't seen/heard anyone for a good minute, and the house was unlooted. Opening the bathroom reveals a motherfucker who also has a shotgun. I experienced a genuine jumpscare, it was so unexpected

The game awards only 1 chicken dinner, and it awards it to whoever ends up being the last alive. It doesn't matter how you end 1st place. Served me right for carelessly assuming the house was clear and not checking before barging in. Learned my lesson to never assume houses are clear, unless I was the only one to drop into the area.

Had an amazing moment yesterday where I was in the top 10, holed up in a house as the sole survivor in a game of duos. Two dudes came in downstairs, knew I was upstairs but didn't get too brave outside of a couple of grenades that missed by miles. I made an executive decision to go all action hero and tried to jump from the balcony, only to get screwed by scenery clipping and jumping mechanics so I ended up having to jump off the wrong side. Except it ended up being 100% the right side because I landed almost on top of them. The first one didn't even get a shot off before I chummed him, and the second only tagged me once before going down. Justice rains from above.

I thought about this but the Uzi is so much better than any other pistol slot item it will really be balance breaking. Not that pistols are even worth picking up if you already have another firearm but that's perhaps a different issue.
