After one match my audio disappears. Restarting the game fixes it. Anyone else had this happening? I've tried google, but to no avail. I'm using a Logitech g430 headset with updated firmware and drivers.

I enjoyed it! I also like seeing how other folks plan their map movements and get from Point A to Point B, so I'm even down with the clips being longer.

I sure hope dedicated servers will be available soon, so you can kind of ensure you're playing at a low latency, instead of praying you hit a non-poo poo server during open matchmaking. I had a fist fight on a roof earlier, and the guy was rubberbanding all over the place. He probably saw the same of me, but it was ridiculous.

I like your car fake at the end there but other than that everyone you hit is a total sitting duck. No one shoots at you! Are you god of positioning?

That was fun to watch, and nice job. But I'm not exactly sure what your tactics were for that last kill. :) The noise of the car to draw him out? How come you weren't watching the side of the tree with the Kar98 for him to peek you? Too close range for you with that scope?

I lucked out at that game positioning-wise, I think, but I would say positioning is probably what I'm best at.

I wanted to confuse him more than anything. The actual plan was to reverse it into the circle and jump out again on the passenger side to give me cover, but I hit F too soon after pressing ctrl+2. I was planning on blowing it up myself so that I couldn't die to the vehicle explosion if he did. I didn't go for the peek with the Kar98 because I had to move to him; I figured he realised that too and wouldn't peek out until I had no cover left. That's why I went for the SCAR. Also, it's harder to see nades when scoped in.

Here's my second win of the day, this one's a lot better imo - though I did have some more luck (particularly the pan hit on the 4th kill), the 5th guy was a doofus, the 6th kill was just weird all around and I nearly hosed up the 8th.I experimented with making a few of the clips a little longer as per GFY's request and please note that I did see the 10th kill at 6:16!

Good aim, great positioning, but your biggest luck come from loving idiots going prone after being shot and sitting still so you can line up Kar98 shots. NEVER STOP MOVING IDIOTS.

I had a pretty fun win on an Asian server a while back. Someone told me they love the shacks and it held true multiple times that round.

I couldn't agree more, but only the first two were prone though? And the first guy didn't know I'd seen him, I think, as he was drawn out after I shot once at the UAZ driving past (which ended up being the second kill, I'm pretty sure). The 8th guy going prone is something I probably would've done as well, except I'd like to think I would've noticed me way sooner. Many of the others did sit still, that's true, but all but two of them were about to shoot at me, at which point you would have to sit still for a second.

Also, thanks!

Not really true, don't fall into that trap. Lining up a sniper sure, but you can wiggle and still hit at medium range AR engagements.

I also counted the bridge guy as a prone just looking at you like a dumbass.

Yeah, that guy was dumb. I'm not sure how I feel about wiggling in a medium-range firefight. The recoil definitely isn't as forgiving in a similar situation in CSGO and I feel it's almost worse when you wiggle than when you just strafe in one direction. I get pretty good results standing still and taking my time to aim for a headshot as soon as I see someone wiggling.

Bridge guy was hilarious because you can just prone and shoot under a lot of the vehicles on the bridge for absurd cover, instead of being prone in the middle of the bridge asking to be shot or run over.

I've found that if I get a 8x + KAR98 in solos though it's always going to be a good game, even if I don't win it's a easy 8-10 kills. The 4x drives me crazy and I can never hit headshots with that dumb crosshair.

If you're shooting a target moving perpendicular who is not aiming at you yes 100%.

I wouldn't say every engagement needs to be done one way, but sitting still to line up a shot on someone using a sniper is a great way to get domed.

Oh, one more thing I wanted to point out on your vid. THANK YOU for not taking maybe shots and waiting for good shots. Too many people take a half assed body shot and then get into fight they lose as opposed to making sure they are going to nail someone in the head.

Care Package

New weapon, the Groza, was added. This weapon may only be acquired in Care Packages.
VSS will no longer be found in Care Packages. It will remain to be spawned in the map.
At a low probability, you will be able to acquire AR Silencers and SR Silencers in Care Packages.
At a low probability, you will be able to acquire 4x Scopes in Care Packages.

World Spawn

New weapon, a 9mm pistol with full auto mode, the P18C, was added.
Spawn rate of SCAR-L was decreased to better fit the weapon’s tier.
Spawn rate of UMP was slightly decreased.
Spawn rate of UZI was slightly increased.
Level 1 Helmet was being spawned at a much higher rate than the Level 1 Vest, and the spawn rate was adjusted so that both items will be spawned at a similar rate.

Full patch notes tomorrow apparently. It's probably confirmation bias but now that i think of it you did see motorcycle helmets a lot more than vests.

Not really, the meta is currently built around making the other guy miss his shots, then return them so side-stepping in the middle of a firefight keeps you alive long enough to get the killing shot in.

Oh yeah, there are a boatload of motorcycle helmets relative to vests.

I'm sad to see my little UMP become more rare, who the hell wants to run the micro-uzi?

Also, decreasing the SCAR-L spawn rate seems odd. I wonder if that's to bring it in line with the other rifles or if they consider the SCAR to be a tier above. Honestly I like running the M16 as much or more as the SCAR these days.

If you're good at aiming the best thing you can do is stop moving, hold your breath, and then shoot the other guy. If you're not, then stopping will probably get you shot first.
