Wow, so the UMP is superior to the Vector? I feel like the mentality was very much the opposite.

the vector is a more powerful gun, but it requires an extended clip to be useful.

the ump is a more versatile smg.

so pretty much it's accurate to their real life versions

My friend insists that we towards the end in duos we find a central one door shack and camp it because he says that's what all the good streamers do. I really hate these stupid huts because you have zero cover when shooting and moving and you're tripping over each other trying to get out and everyone knows you're there. Is he right and I'm wrong or am I right and his strat sucks rear end and I hate it?

Seems like a good way to get murdered by a grenade myself. Or trapped by a circle move.

If a streamer gets SWATted is he gonna fill his room full of tear gas, shot his dog, and detonate a flashbang in his living room? Tell him to go pound sand and play the way you want to play.

Let your friend get in the shack then park your uaz bumper in to the door so he can't get out. That will teach him.

If you use the shed as cover and a safe place to heal, but constantly watch 360 around you and shoot anyone you can see it can be a very strong strategy. The trick is finding sheds that enemies can't sneak up on, and being good enough to kill everyone who tries to grenade/snipe you.

It's also not that fun unless tons of enemies come near your shed.

The most I can say for it if you camp a fuckboi shack that is likely to stay in the playzone for a long time you can seize a moment during the peak of other firefights to storm out and take a solid endgame position. It's an extremely passive play and you are arguably missing out on opportunities to loot some of the very best stuff since that's usually when you gear up on silencers / level 3 stuff and so on. Also it has a lot of solid chances to greatly backfire on you.

I mean if you can safely get into one and shortly afterwards the circle has constricted enough that the area around you is a guaranteed killzone, then you can ride things out for a little while so that you will place highly, but ultimately you will need to bust back out of there. Meanwhile if anyone can get within grenade distance or set up a position on your door to saturate it with fire at any moment then you are pretty well boned as I'm sure you've experienced.

"Run to the center and hunker down" isn't a bad midgame strategy. But better to do that with a house that has different exit options, plenty of firing positions, places to run inside if a grenade comes in, etc.

Duos is good because you can agree to alternate who is calling the shots

I love when there's a single building in the last few circles that everyone ends up fighting around, it's much more interesting than just an open field. I was getting shot at from a hill with 6 people left so I ran into the building (a warehouse) and started healing without looking around. Someone says "Yo, look up" over voice chat, so I whip around and start spraying the boxes behind me. As soon as I get the kill he screams "loving human being!" I was laughing so hard I didn't even notice when someone walked in behind me and blasted me with a shotgun.

you're both spelling fuccboi wrong, and usually you'd only get into one in an open field so nobody can nade you without getting shot by someone else

it's not a terrible idea if you have no other cover and the door faces toward the wall

You know I like a bit of predictability and "realism" in weapons, but I also like it balanced with a bit of insanely ridiculous bullshit. What I'm saying is they need to never change the frying pan, because it is the greatest thing.

I don't know specifically why it is that I do pretty well at Battlefield, but absolutely awful Counter-Strike. Is it damage amount? Limited map sizes? Something about the gun play? Something else? I don't know what it is, but I get destroyed a Counter Strike but do pretty well at Battlefield.

I honestly don't know what it is. I can do just fine in most Battlefield games but the moment I peek around any corner in Counter-Strike I immediately get my head blown off and don't take anyone down with me.

Based on that information, how do you expect I would do with this game?

Battlefield is largely a meat grinder, hitboxes are very generous and you're given incentive to rush constantly. Positioning matters but only in the sense that you're always trying to ride the right side of the wave of enemies pouring towards you, and death doesn't matter because respawn is so short. The way you play battlefield is totally different to the way you play PUBG.

HOWEVER - gunplay is VERY similar to battlefield in regards to bullet velocity, drop, and the amount of damage people can take before they go down.

CSGO on the otherhand plays very similar to pubg in a lot of ways with a bunch of peeking around angles and careful assaults on positions, but the gunplay is totally different. So really it's a mixture of the two games.

Can you even shoot through the windows of the one door shack? I assumed they were too high up even with jumping. So if someone approaches from the non-door side there's gently caress all you can do while they calmly aim a grenade through the window. Or shoot down half the door and put a grenade through that.

Frying pan blocking bullets is fine and all but why the gently caress does the machete not do the same thing then? I get that the crowbar and sickle are small enough to not really be useful for that but if they're gonna bother doing bullet blocking with the pan might as well go the whole way instead of having just one useful melee weapon.
