Landed on a roof in Rozhok with another guy who was rude and started punching me. He punches me to the point where one more hit would kill me so I jump off the roof and start running. He chases me all over the city trying to get the last punch in (because he either didn't pick up or didn't want to use the .45 on the roof) for at least 90 seconds.

As I'm running, I see off in the distance a man with an AK leaving a house. I beeline for him, knowing the guy behind me will follow in his bloodthirst.

AK man easily takes me down with one bullet, and kills my pursuer just as quickly.

gently caress you, roof punch man. Shoulda let me run away.

gently caress, totally flubbed a chicken dinner, apparently my hands completely forgot how to control recoil at the last moment. i waited for the other two dudes to duke it out and had a clear shot on the survivor's back and everything :mad:

I think this is might be an issue where the boundaries of the terrain not corresponding to the visual, but I can give it a shot. I was far enough back to be able to raise the rifle, so I assumed that was far enough until I fired the first two or three times. Also thought the lag issues were better after playing a little, but I just watched my health bar get cut in half a good half second before any sort of indication that I was being shot at or getting hit. Frustrating night and sorry about complaining, but I really like this game and I hope they follow through with their promises.

My 10 year old nephew convinced me to buy this game so he would have someone to partner with.

Things were going great in our 3rd match. We had good weapons, good gear and were at full health. Then I ran him over with a motorcycle.

A+ would teamkill my nephew with a motorcycle again.

It's not. It has more to do that the aimpoint is 6 inches above the barrel, just like on an actual gun. If your barrel would be in the rock, you'll raise the gun instead. If your barrel is aiming into the rock, you can still see over it with your scope, but your barrel is still pointing into the rock. Also you'r head is still exposed.

Other games usually let you clip through walls because they're hitscan so wherever your scope says it can shoot it will let you shoot

People had this issue in BF3/BF4 as well

Ah ok, yeah I know how it works on an actual gun, but programming that into the game seems counter intuitive and weird once you're able to pull your gun up. I took the advice for when I was shooting over a wall and started to hit it as I tracked him (easier to see when you start out on target and lose it due to wall) aaaand





edit: won it in the usual way, without having proper gear for the end game aside from an AR silencer this time. No meds and nothing greater than a 2x scope and a lot of running

anyone else find it really stupid how going prone in grass basically makes it impossible to take shots, seeing as strands of grass completely obstruct your view?



this image showcases it perfectly. how the gently caress are those grass strands actually able to block the scope, seeing as you're lying down flat, you should technically be pushing grass out of the way. only bit that would make sense for grass to be showing is at the other end of the scope.

so many times I've been prone and can barely make out an enemy, and I gotta give my position away by crouching just to get a clear shot.

Damn that's a

To be fair, go prone in an actual field of knee high grass and let us know how far you can see.

William Henry Hairytaint

Not being able to see anything when prone is a pretty important tradeoff since it's easy to become practically invisible in the tall grasses.

This game would be broken as poo poo and instantly dead if they made it so you can actually shoot well while prone outside of the occasional spot where elevation is on your side.

game would be perfectly fine if it didn't render bigass grass strands before the scope. having it block the far end of the scope makes more sense and would actually give you a chance to peek between strands to aim shots, as opposed to having your entire screen blocked by one grass blade.

I'm convinced they'll copy the ARMA system where lying on the grass flattens it in a radius of a few meters.

Early access and all.

Yep, that's the one thing from keeping this game from being perfectly fine.

that'd be a great compromise. makes it slightly (but not perfectly) easier to aim when you're prone, at the cost of making you easier to spot due to the flattened grass.

VietCampo posted:

what's with these pedantic replies. I see it happen all the time. people just try and stir poo poo up by obviously taking something someone posts out of context. cause aye, I definitely meant the game would become an absolute gem, GOTY material with no additional features or bug fixes required if only the grass stopped rendering stupidly.

He's on another level. That clip barely even resembles a normal experience in this game. If that was the only clip you saw of this game, you would think it was some sort of Battlefield game, where people don't mind being reckless and kills flow freely.

So, I think there might be some sort of damage drop off at ranged but its arranged by some sort of stepping, not by a curve like most games would have and for the most part only makes a one shot difference. In this case at 200m.

Now we're getting into "let's make a defibrillator a rare crate drop that can revive dead teammates *once*" territory.

That being said, the injection should be a rare drop that's far more common at the 'hospital' or in places that'd have infirmaries around like towns, the power plant, and the military base.
