BADGES? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' BADGES!
Don't focus too much on loot. I just chicken dinnered with a bare UMP shooting only hip-fire. I ended up looting an AK off the 3rd or 4th to last guy I killed then used that and his 4x to kill the last person. Positioning and timely aggressiveness are ten times more important.

Shout out to Peavs for many hours of quality duos last night.

Good think I think you went afk when I camped a hill and tried to snipe with the M249. I think I put ~200 rounds in the dirt.

Thanks whoever linked chocoTaco's stream the other day. Been enjoying learning from him. It's a nice change of pace from the likes of summit and grimmz. Dude is chill as gently caress and not trying to put on a show for everyone. Just quietly grinding his way into the NA top 10 by killing mans all day. Does a good job explaining what he is doing and why, too.

The M249 is a garbage gun and every time it drops I immediately regret taking it over something more reasonable when I go up against a guy with a SCAR and get immediately wrecked.

How would you guys feel about events? The airdrops already sort of fit in that category, but I wouldn't mind having a few more things that cause players to converge on a single location for one reason or another (other than the blue zone, obviously).

Like, maybe have a "gold circle" or something that has higher loot drops for five minutes at a time?

Make the circle permeable for a few minutes when it spawns, and then lock it. Winner of that circle gets exclusive fingered gloves.

I think he comprehended it just fine. It's just the idea is terrible and was terrible when it was part of noted terrible game: the Culling.

Well the original post was specifically asking opinions on events beyond airdrops so the answer "airdrops" seems to indicate a lack of understanding.

"It's a terrible idea" at least answers the question so your post is automatically less dumb.

Also The Culling was terrible for about a thousand reasons beyond the events, so I don't know that we necessarily need to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I don't see anything wrong with expanding the airdrop functionality but with different aesthetics and some gimmicks, like a dynamic helicopter\plane crash, maybe an armored AI controlled vehicle that spawns at some point and is pretty hard to take out but if you do you get an armored car + some premium loot, etc. Same end results, different tactics and player dynamics.

A humvee with a mounted turret might be pretty fun in squad games.

Give airdrops a 0.01% chance of spawning an APC w/ AI turrets on every side. Replace all the other airdrop guns w/ rocket launchers.

Also give every rocket a unique serial number, fully beveled.

He was saying "There's better loot in this area for the first person/people to arrive!" is describing airdrops. I also don't think it would be feasible since all loot is spawned on loading, isn't it?

I mean I'd love for this game to include technicals and humvees, but you'd pretty much also have to include IEDs (and maybe even svbieds tbh) and there are about a million reasons why that's not going to happen.

He would be wrong if that's what he's saying though. Airdrops give one or two major items that can't be found elsewhere to the first ones to arrive. Either multiple groups get there at the same time and there's a scuffle, or one group gets there first, grabs the stuff, and gets the hell out of dodge. What I'm proposing is a sustained zone with good gear (but not crate gear). It would be like landing at military base but could happen whenever.

And yeah loot does spawn at load, so it wouldn't be possible currently. Just an idea.

I think a basic pick up with MG on the back would be a neat air drop and not very over powered because itd be fairly easy to shoot the dude in the back on the gun

So that is what triggered it. loving hell that was annoying.

"easy fix" wishlist for next patch:
  • remove stupid burst mode from SMGs (or make it a 3-shot burst)
  • default all non-M16 ARs to full-auto

I dislike the AKM for the most part.
Without a comp the thing just sprays.
But if you get a 4x on it, it makes a good makeshift sharpshooter. Just never fire it on Auto.
