After about 200 hours into this game, I have yet to figure out what a behemoth is for. Never once has it made any difference to the outcome of a match.

If you're down by 100ish points and both teams are decent it can make a difference. Anything beyond that and it's utterly pointless.


e: It can have two separate effects on a close match, if the opposing team focuses all its energy on attacking the behemoth your team can hold most if not all the objectives and close the gap. And on the flip side if the opposing team ignores the behemoth, holding down an extra objective while the rest of the team works on the remainders can close the gap.

It stops terrible players from quitting en masse because they get a couple kills in the behemoth and think they're doing good.

I also find it very difficult to do butt stuff with goons. I can never get into a squad with anyone that's in a match, and they always just ship before the next match starts. could be poor timing on my part, it would just be nice not to be steam rolled every game because squads with randoms are the worst.

Here's an example of the lag spikes I was getting last night. It's gotta be on my end because the next map was completely fine.

I'll admit I'm guilty of this. Sometimes I'll hop on just for 1 game and I don't bother to use my headset. If you see someone in the same game as you, try sending a party invite and go from there.

EL PRIMERO AVENTURA DEL POZO DE MIERDA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOUeR0SzQMY

(red and I dominated this map pretty hard, note the score turnaround)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01HLbmHNFg4

Backup_Snacks joined us at the tail end of that map.

I got tired of waiting around to kill mans, and then lined up a perfect trap:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7unnx1wU-zM

Then I had a super bizarro terrible round punctuated by funny things, including my wife calling, somehow spawning in and not being touched for a full-rear end minute of furious action around me:

If anyone's interested, consoles can now be part of the Community Test Environment. It's about a 50GB download though.

Located under the More tab on the main menu. Just gotta agree to the terms and it should start downloading.

every time I run and gun as a recon I have this powerful feeling of dissonance because the bolt action rifles are extreeemely satisfying, but trying to reconcile it with my utter disgust for snipers is difficult.

It's not sniping if you don't have a scope :colbert:

If you're really concerned about feeling like a sniper, just run the 1895 Trench, since it has a penalty to damage at long range.

I didn't think you were calling me out, I'm just saying that if you're running and gunning as a recon you shouldn't feel guilty as long as you have no scope. Recon run'n'gunning owns and more people should try it. Those flares are a game-changer.

I have zero sympathy for snipers though, because for 99% of them that SICKNASTY HEADSHOT is sandwiched on both sides by about 500 missed shots. If you're still sitting in spawn after all of that missing, you need better things to do with your time.

Pretty much the only sniper I put up with is my buddy ADMRL Thrawn, because 1) he understands bullet drop and actually makes his shots most of the time and 2) he works with me and my other buddies to be more effective. He calls out people in points that the rest of us are on, 3D spots vehicles with the periscope, and when we tell him we're getting sniped from somewhere, he listens and takes the enemy snipers out instead of trying to land that SICKNASTY HEADSHOT on a dude in the point that three of us were already shooting at anyway. In short, he actually does the job recon is supposed to have. A sniper who actually works with you is fantastic SUPPORT, but every pubbie has this idea that snipers are Lone Wolves who turn the tide of the match with their skills. That's bullshit and every single one of them should get knifed, clubbed, or humiliation AT rocketed.
