ILL Machina posted:God gave you lethal hands for a reason. Even this can be too much to wait for in school, and shotty is just fine to find you your first body. So you recommend getting starting gear and then going around until everyone else who dropped there is gone or dead? I'm just not sure how to tell that beyond my best guess. I've won most of my face to face gunfights, but I'm having a hard time hearing footsteps without cranking the volume up to the point the gunshots are too loud, so I feel very vulnerable to people sneaking up behind me. I did take the thread's advice and I've been shutting doors behind me when I go into a house / apartment to search it. That way I get some warning if someone is incoming.

Getting a car and running down the people trying to farm afks is never not funny. Ended up winning that round too

I bought this game and have no idea what I’m doing but it’s fun. Someone ramped a UAZ into a house I was looting so I popped out and capped the driver with an M416 only to die to someone else who was chasing him

Why does anyone care about this at all? because you're cutting down the players in the game by about half. i heard there was some bot thing letting people afk farm points en masse. i've had several squad games get down to ~30 before the first circle even closes today. one of the actual normal games ended up being a chicken dinner but it kinda feels lovely when your entire squad has 2 kills combined and you just got insanely good circle luck.

You should be able to hear anyone close to you, keep the sound up until it doesn't hurt anymore. Count the parachutes around you every drop and get a general idea of where in the area they are landing/going to be looting towards, kill everyone, move onto the next area, kill everyone, next area, kill everyone, etc. Eventually you'll be aware enough to know how many people are dropping around you and when you've been in an area too long looting and should expect to run into someone else. I like to follow people down and immediately start hunting after my first weapon. One of us is staying here FOR EV ER and it ain't gonna be me

It's not a big deal, but I the game is a little less crazy with 75 players and there's a slightly smaller chance of weird poo poo happening. And I can't help but get annoyed on principle. I have no excuse or explanation.

Weird, I've jumped at the end before and only ever seen like 2 or 3 people. They could fix it by awarding no points for people who do 0 damage to anyone.

Or just use AFK detection. I think you deserve 30 points for jumping into pochinki and getting killed by a pan before you hit the ground.

Is it too simple to just make it so the plane doesn't auto kick you at the end? Anybody that doesn't manually jump is just removed from the game and get no points.22 Eargesplitten posted:Yeah, don't penalize me for sucking And yeah, I've had good, fun matches where I got no damage points at all (I'm pretty bad), so that doesn't seem like a great solution for me.

it's like i said before i thought the plane was supposed to be crashing so just have it crash at the end.Hypnolobster posted:No, still feels pretty good. it was pretty great cuz until the very last circle it looked 100 percent unwinnable. people kept having weapon and positional advantages which pinned us in lovely areas (and got our second guy killed, first died in our drop area) but then they'd get attacked by some other squad. by some miracle it was the two of us in the last 20 and we kept making suicide runs for smaller and smaller circles and the count kept going down and down and when it was 6 left i figured it was 4v2 and game over. nope now it's 5 so i guess it's 3v2. nope now it's 4 left. wtf now it's 3 left. so my buddy and i just run for the last circle and wait and that one poor soul is just crawling towards it and i kill him (other kill was revenge for our first dead squadmate at the beginning). the first guy we lost was our best player so that's what made it even funnier.

Drop pochinki, find an ump in my second house, kill a guy in one of the houses with a roof to take his AK. Hear someone open the door on the first level, wait, kill a guy coming up the stairwell. Exit the roof and start to hop between the roofs, killed a guy from up there. Dropped down, start clearing another house, and I hear footsteps. Wait for it, he's close. Wait for it, he's in the next house I'm standing outside of. Impatient, I start to crouch walk closer when a plane is going overhead. About to turn a corner an---- <ran over by a car clipping through all the buildings> I'd be mad if it wasn't so hilarious

This game feels like a Scrounging Around Simulator. All I do is collect things, try to figure out what ammo goes with what guns, while running from dilapidated house to dilapidated house. Until I get shot by someone a football stadium away.

Best game so far. #8, six kills. Started off with jack poo poo for the first 7-8 minutes. I got one cheap kill by sneaking up behind a guy with a crossbow and finishing him with a revolver. Then I finally found real gear and went on a rampage with a mini uzi and SCAR. First top 10 game, first game over 3 kills. Then I died shooting tree to tree against another guy. I missed what seemed like it should have been several headshots. Is there something weird shooting very downhill with a zero at 100m? I was probably 30-50m away, maybe 5m uphill. Still, though, it even should have been 7 kills. One guy suicided into the blue when I had him low. Fantastic game.

That makes sense, I'm just having a hard time grasping which direction I should be compensating. And then I guess some of it is going to depend on if "zero" is the first or second place the arc of the bullet intercepts the line of the sights.

As long as you're not using iron sights, just shoot and adjust. The one that takes getting used to is the Kar98k with an 8x scope, that's when it will really count, but if you're just using an AR shoot and adjust.

Two things, 1. The silenced revolver is by far the most superior weapon in the game. 2. You can play 4-Player by yourself through not selecting matching with others making it you vs. the world.

I was getting shot at, so I guess I rushed my shots. I wasn't thinking about zeroing. I'm probably going to have a lot of games where I choke near the end. That's kind of my thing. I also nearly got killed by someone with a VSS (shameful) because I had like 3 shots in a row hit the wooden frame between windowpanes. Thankfully I started shooting as they were loading so I managed to adjust in time to dome them. I roadkilled a downed guy in a solo match. How does someone get downed? Jumping out of a car? Somehow loving up their parachute landing enough to drop a lethal distance after ditching the chute? He must have been crawling most of the match towards the circles, though. He was in the middle of a giant field, I drove right past him the first time. Now that I think about it I feel kind of bad for not just letting him keep crawling towards crippled victory. E: Huh, I didn't think about silencing the revolver. Actually, it makes sense since  that particular model is one of the only ones in existence that you can effectively suppress due to its weird and stupid design.

had one of those magical ninja dinners yesterday our squad was doing well until the last couple of circles at 15 alive when all three other squads collapsed on us and we got wiped out pretty much instantly, except for me, so i did the logical thing when you're going 1v3v4v4 and hid in a central bush where i could watch everybody ended up stalking one of the bigger groups until they won the fights and it was a 1v2 at the end, but since i was behind them it was an easy execution for the chicken pulling these bs wins out of your rear end is so much more satisfying than just a straight stomp

violent sex idiot posted:he wasnt downed if it was a solo he was just crawling When I ran him over it said he died by falling. Is that normal? He wasn't prone, he was on all fours like when you're downed. Is that a position you can be in while up? It is possible I saw wrong since I saw him on the corner of my screen and then again while doing 50kph.

The most shameful thing is to have your gun set to single when you manage to sneak up close enough to someone to rub the end of your gun on their butt and you pull and hold the trigger expecting a quick and dirty kill only to embarrassingly die when they whip around and shoot you full auto.

FYAD SECRETARY posted:I'm like Eric and Dylan Dark. But no TEC9 in this game. NerdyMcNerdNerd posted:This is what I try to do, but sometimes I end up in a close range fight outside or in a living room and I just cannot keep my poo poo on point. Do I spray? Do I tap out the shots? Do I strafe, or just shoot? If I could keep my crosshair on point it would help. In close quarters: spray automatic or rapid fire and control the point of aim to be center of mass of your target. At medium range try to use your scope or aimpoint on but stick to auto honestly for pop up shots. At long to extreme range single shot or you won't hit poo poo. Like people say, land with a ton of other people. Get starter wep and backpack. Kill someone else. Rinse repeat till midgame.

Sometimes vehicle deaths are weird. I killed someone the other day by T-boning their buggy going full speed in a UAV. They hopped out to shoot me and immediately flew 20 feet backwards and died. I didn't get credit for the kill. It said they died from falling so I guess the buggy still had some sideways momentum and it tapped them. Similar thing happened to me this afternoon when I flipped a buggy on a random hill. I thought it had stopped moving so I hopped out and immediately died from falling damage. Basically never exit vehicles until you know they are done moving. Especially if you were going fast and stopped suddenly.

Unless they've fixed it, you can get out of a speeding vehicle if you hit a tree (or building?) that stops you before you hit the ground. I wouldn't trust myself to get the timing right in a firefight though.
