So I should start jumping onto the military island if possible, or is that taking it too far?

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever actually been on it.

School is the best IMO because the layout is small enough to remember but also knowing it really well gives you a distinct advantage over other people there, especially the various ways to enter through windows or see into the gym/auditorium. Also if it goes really poorly you generally just die instantly instead of something like military base which is large enough that you can avoid being instantly killed, but you'll probably get picked off by someone from scaffolding/hills when you try to leave with your handgun shotgun no helmet loadout (or, even worse, actually make it out of military base with no gear and just wander around until you die).

I should probably start to concede that I'm too old for this poo poo. In CQB I'm too spazzy, where I fail to kill people on close range with five shotgun blasts, but in turn get killed by the same person with an Uzi so fast, the game doesn't even get time to play the gun sounds. On the open field, I can't see poo poo on a distance, occasionally I see a speck moving on the horizon, yet in Twitch/Youtube people are evidently making out things several hundred meters away just fine.

:[

In my experience the 5 shot shotgun has the perfect rate of fire to miss someone over and over again if you get a bad first shot. When I have to use it, I prefer to use it defensively and sit in a good spot to 3rd person a corridor, and then generally chase people with it or poke at them from around a corner. The 2 shot is much better at aggression, just don't miss.

Snow would be a cool weather effect. Muffles all noises.

Have you ever actually been in snow?

The crunch crunch crunch of a person moving through snow is louder than just about any other possible terrain, and falling snow barely makes any noise in the absence of wind.. Only a full on blizzard would muffle noises, and that would just be from the winds.

I play much more aggressively solo than I do in duo/squad. Solo is basically a training ground for me to murderface as many people as possible, I can be tacticool other times.

Snowfall muffles noise even if it's not a blizzard, if it's falling hard enough.

Also the developers said they want to put in more than just rain, but apparently snow is really tough for the engine.

it would be cool to add a blizzard, you cant see poo poo but its kind of quiet and gives you time to reflect on why you're trying to kill everybody else on the island

I thought that blizzards were some of the loudest natural occuring events? I think when you travel in snow sound can be heard up to 80km away.

6 years in Boston, 23 in New York. So yeah. It's loving quiet out when it snows. Not that the snow falling makes sound to drown your poo poo out, but the snow muffles sound traveling through the air.

the loudest naturally occurring event is nerds complaining about the streamer illuminati taking opportunity away from the gamer proletariat...

once they add in berries i believe they should add a broken bone system such that if you run down stairs too fast or uneven terrain for too long you have a chance to suddenly be crippled. don't worry about the small things like training rooms or exclusive streamer only content; this game is only in alpha so give it 4+ years and eventually we'll have all the feature berries to we want to consume!

Holy gently caress. You idiots can argue about anything.

I think crunching of snow being loud as gently caress but not traveling far and visibility being poo poo would be kinda neat to play on a small map.

That level in Left 4 Dead 2 set in the middle of a hurricane was awesome and it would be cool to see that level of weather loving with the game imo. It wouldn't be fun if it was on full blast at all times but if it picked up at different points throughout a match it could make for an interesting round.

Yeah I was just thinking that having a match where the sun is setting causing it to be harder and harder to see things to the west or a storm gradually increasing in intensity would be awesome. They know how long matches usually last and where they definitely end so it wouldn't be too difficult to time things either.

Holy poo poo its almost like there are lots of different types of snow with different sound properties between loud and crunchy and soft and muffled. Obviously only one person can be right though.

Snow in and of itself carries sound a lot farther. Heavy snowfall muffles sound. You nerds.

If they do snow I hope they do hypothermia and hyperthermia too as well, obviously clothing should have a warmth property and you should be able to use melee weapons to chop trees and start fires if you have a dry book of matches.

I need something stronger.

Colorado State Climatologist Nolan Doesken says: "When the ground has a thick layer of fresh, fluffy snow, sound waves are readily absorbed at the surface of the snow. However, the snow surface can become smooth and hard as it ages or if there have been strong winds. Then the snow surface will actually help reflect sound waves. Sounds seem clearer and travel farther under these circumstances."
