I don't know what it is about this game but I just don't care about winning.
I'm having a ton of fun. Obviously this is a good game but it never occurs to me that I need to make a whole-game strategy.

Texas I think, when you're making your money as a streamer it's probably best to live where property value is the lowest since you live at home.

No state income tax helps a lot as well.

P much. The question is always, 'how do I get to the next circle while killing everyone in my path?'

They can't be throttling him that much if he's streaming at 60 FPS, the bandwidth difference between that and 1080/30 is marginal.

It's about 3.5mbps at 720 or 6 mbps at 1080 so he's probably limited to 5 or so.

i've forgotten all of your names.


3 members of my group crashed.

I put them down painlessly *CLANG* and took all their stuff and set off with 500 rounds of 5.56, a silencer, a loaded SCAR, and a dream.

I snuck up behind a guy with an AWP.

And I crashed.

I'm also seeing that multi-second freeze, almost every time during the plane ride. Really bad when I've decided on a chute target and completely miss the window because the game is frozen when I want to jump.

You are correct that they are boring but you are incorrect if you think they will ever stop, or that the topic switch would necessarily be an improvement.

I was doing a little research while trying to set up OBS, and all of the guides said 1080 doesn't look any better than 720 on Twitch, so its probably that. That said, obviously a guy making money to stream games is gonna play on a monitor greater than 1080.

Also, a lot of people are unaware of the lobby game. It's an important part of setting yourself up for a good game. The best ways to dominating the lobby game involve blocking people from jumping onto your shipping container, and setting people on fire right before they load onto the plan. The newest lobby game is saying "Hey guys, my game crashed, back out to lobby" on in-game chat and see how many players drop.

Intimidating enemies is important by leaping seamlessly from table to table. Also stand firm in front of any crawlers, denying them their path.

I don't bother with shotties anymore. Weird poo poo always happens when you need to put someone down, either your frames drop for no reason on your high end system or your pellets go through the guy due to lag compensation. I've just been melting guys with the UMP lately.

It's probably barely distinguishable from straight up random assignment.

It's really not. My friends were in an endless debate about whether the game had matchmaking or not, because we all had a far easier time in NA, even with high latency, than in SA, and the people who moved to the same rating in NA didn't notice any difference. After someone explained that the game indeed has matchmaking we decided to check on all of our players one by one and pretty much the people complaining about NA being easy were at 1500 there and 2000 on SA, and as we moved up the difficulty normalized. The people who were 1800-1900 on both didn't notice any difference.

The gap between the 1500 players and the 2000 players was gigantic.
