You can mute the game with ctrl+m in the patch. So no more plane sound and gunsound before the game starts.

Larger and less bloom so you can actually aim it without it completely obscuring the target. I used it to get my 1st person win today and it was good.

You can use voice coms to tell people you killed in close quarter combat "rest in peace, brother".

I have actually had people I've killed be like "nice job, how'd you get me?" and then I'll tell them and they'll be like "aw man, well played. Good luck!"

I wish ethereum miners hadn't hosed up the price of video cards. I'd have happily dropped $500 on a 1080 but no way now that they're $800+.

1080 prices haven't been affected by miners actually. it's not as good for mining as the 1060 or 1070 apparently.

Even without an actual limited-range item, letting your opponents hear you speaking/yelling seems "fair" in some sense. I'm sure hearing other folks' voice comms would be occasionally hilarious as well - their panic is part of your reward for getting a kill.

90% of the games I've played is discord voice with the other 10% being mumble and TS. I haven't heard anyone say they're on Skype except as a meme and I think people forget that ventrilo exists

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

SOS uses walkie talkies and it owns but that's just because you team up with randoms.

Would be neat if this game had random only teams mode with walkies but that would be a ton of work for a probably niche mode.

I still don't know how I lost this fight. I knew a guy was up on the hill, I was hidden and shot first when engaging the guy on ground, yet he destroyed me.

So far I am loving first person, and I haven't noticed anyone camping more than in third person in the 6 or so games I played so far.

mic should be open when you're near peeps. the best part of the failed cops n robbers mmo apb was being a cop and using less than lethal weapons to disable someone and hearing them bitch on their mic as your handcuffed them. one of my first games of pubg i disabled someone with a shotgun and as they crawled around they screamed MERCY MERCY and i just went "no." and ended em.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:

I'm confused here. Let's say there's some cutoff that is "too loud" that's unhealthy to hear repeatedly. Having your volume set such that the plane, the loudest thing in the game, is under this volume means that everything else is going to be *well* under this volume. Instead, you can turn your volume up such that something else is just under this volume, and mute the plane. Now you hear guys that you would not have heard had your volume been lower. How is that not an improvement? I think the plane is a poor choice of things to calibrate around.

The game is aiming for some realism here, its not all that complicated. In real life some noises are much louder than others. Yes you can mute stuff but thats like turning the brightness all the way up in Doom because its "too dark". Its meant to be that way.

footsteps are everything in this game. So if you can put the volume high on that, and mute the louder sustained sounds when needed why not do it? The shortcut makes is super simple to do on the fly.

I am sort of surprised at how strange the movement feels in this game. Interacting with objects and jumping just feel glitchy.
