I joined a goon discord for the first time and ended up playing TPP for the first time. Is this the majority? I'd like to do FPP only. I had fun, though! Thanks goons.

I think the majority of people on the server play TPP but there are people who do FPP too, you just need to specify that when you're trying to get a group together. Some people will happily do either, and some people even play FPP in TPP mode! (Don't do this, it's a horrible idea and you're at a tremendous disadvantage but there are some goons who don't get that.)

Yea I realized watching a teammate when dead that you can peak around corners in full cover and poo poo. If you are playing TPP you should obviously be doing that and not locking yourself into FPP for :smug: reasons or whatever the reason is.

Also a pro tip: if you die in a hot area don’t spectate immediately. Think of yourself as another fixed position camera who can tell your squad enemy movement. Too many people spectate immediately when they can tell their team what building an enemy is going around.

I play FPP. Less hackers, less peeking around corners, and at least when I die in FPP, I feel much less cheated.

I feel TPP encourages prone-laying bullshit and free intel for zero risk.

Wow. The new fog map is tense as hell. I think I like it more than rain. That low hum noise makes it feel a little spooky.

Other than that my first thought after having not played this game in months is solo mode needs a kill cam like yesterday.

Let's be honest here. The server can't even handle 65 people in game without everything turning into a laggy mess. If they can't code basic things like that, I very much doubt they are capable of a kill cam that doesn't fill up your hard drive after 4 deaths.

Demo recording is a UE4 feature, so I'm pretty sure they should be able to avoid messing that up.

I can't stand the fog. It's just a camp fest with everybody slugging around in the final circle. Super boring gameplay imo.

Fog with teams is insane and is/was the most successful map type for me.

A tip: don't use tan clothing or headgear. It gets spotted really quickly compared to the blue helmet/dark helmets.

Actually it was pretty fun to play a match that didn't come down to who was lucky enough to find a 4x scope and camp the edge of the circle.

Literally just having a 4x is what kills people, not having the mechanical skill to shoot people, finding cover or putting yourself in positions. Spoken like a true bad.

I'm talking entirely about distance and not any of that other bullshit but go ahead and be smug anyway. Fox only, no items, final destination. So much fun.

If you dont have a scope, maybe just like, dont take long range fights?

Have you considered closing the distance while using cover to move up? Or just getting good at using a red dot? Shift zooms a little also steadies.

Trivia posted:

It does do this, it lightens and thickens. Fog games actually own. I like that it greyscales the map and turns it into who is smart enough not to silhouette on ridges. Final circles in fog games are awesome. I think I've won like 75% of fog games tbh.

Edit: We had a pretty fun end of a game just now where we got trapped in bunkers

Fog games are extremely good. It's a fair hamstring and requires you to alter your play in smart ways and makes the last circle less luck based because you can reasonably live even if the other guys have the cover.

Rain games, on the other hand, are garbage.
