The question was about getting more practice, not winning.

Solo vs. squad is great practice. , especially when you make it into the Top 10.

The first step is identifying what exactly you’re bad at. Are you bad at cqc, long range sniping, or urban warfare? Do you just stand around instead of adad + crouch spam?

Back when I played this game a lot I wanted to get good, so what id do is drop on the busiest places and try to kill everyone, then when I die assess why I died. Did I push too quickly? Did I accidentally switch guns when standing up to shoot from cover?

Self analyzing why you you died is a great way to get better at any video game and the new replay feature makes it easier to do so

that's a pretty big collection. but like others said you put all that poo poo on an hdd. i got a 4 terabyte harddrive for movies and music. i haven't had my games and os on anything but an ssd for close to a decade at this point.


this is how i do. actually got to 7th on my last game but that was a frustrating one because i kept trying to start fights just to practice and teams would just load up in a jeep and drive away once i start sniping. fight me you cowards. i only ended up killing a guy who landed near me but away from his squad and then someone near the end trying to outrun the blue.

A cute trick I've seen people do is to use suppressed handguns to pop tires. Handgun suppressors are reasonably common and iirc you can't hear them at all (not even the muffled retort) outside of 100m so you can ninja people's tires before picking the fight. If they try and load into the car, they're basically sitting ducks.

A move like is if you see a car that is clearly someone’s outside of the next circle I’ll shoot the tires out, then wait near the edge of the circle for them and force them into a bad engagement against me or to die to the blue.

I think a simple program that can handle that is "Handbrake". Handbrake also can force the file to have a constant FPS (which I think helps resolve audio desync issues when you try to use the edit later in other editing software.

I'm only doing basic cuts, and "Hitfilm 4 Express" works fine for a free solution. I'm no expert at all in any of this though.

Okay - I am bad. That said, in my experience, trying to juke side to side gives me a huge bullet spread and I can't hit poo poo. Additionally, whenever I go into a fight crouching (or just crouch incidentally) I get shot in the brain pretty much immediately. What would be the best 'strategy' if you do come on someone out in the open and it's just an even 1 on 1, no cover?

If you're tracking someone, know where they are, and trying to get the jump on them, do you want to be crouching behind cover and leaning to minimize bullet spread and your own exposure?

I seem to lose most 50/50 fights and I want to know why :mad:

Yeah during firefights you don’t exactly have to do those things, but if you’re standing around waiting you should

For instance yesterday I finally found an SKS to replace my AKM, crouched down, and started doing my thing. I had just checked the rooflines so I thought I was good to go since I was in the third floor and I had a level three helmet, so I didn’t do any movement spam

As soon as I picked the gun up my brain was splattered against the wall by an M14 guy who could just barely see the top of my helmet from the roof of the building next door

Playing squad FPP just now with Herstory Begins Now and drop on Mylta. Find 3 K98s and two Mini 14s and a fully decked out m416 with 200+ rounds of 5.56 and plenty of glass. Driving across a field and HBN gets a crossbow to the head, we all have separate cars so I pull off and start sniping at the guy who has killed our other squadmate about 400m away. Suddenly the guy disappears and has speedhacked to directly left of me and 1 taps me

I think I’m done with this game for a bit

I live in Asia and play on Asia. 100% of the players I've come across in random squads are Chinese and they're pretty much all chill and very willing to trade loot and call targets. It probably helps that we speak the same language though.

I have about 50 hours in so far (solo and squad 3pp) and I've only seen one obvious hacker. Maybe China just exiles all its cheaters to NA and OC? I dunno, I'm having a good time on the Asia server at least.

Ah Bad Module, truly you are the real killer. I go an entire match just fine, and am down to the last one or two zones and manage to get the drop on someone going after the air drop....when it crashes as I am shooting them. gently caress you Windows and your stupid non-helpful updates.

the hard thing about attaching this to some kind of motive is internet cafes are still super popular in Asia so name and match history isn't really helpful

That's not an aim hack at least. I'm not sure how you think he/she's cheating.

In the death cam, players' aim is quantized to save bandwidth or server memory or something, ie it's approximate. That's why all aiming looks a little weird in death cam.

Never ran into it yet, on Europe FPP. I guess they're all in bed by the time I start playing? Plus their lag would be worse than vs the US.

It's great that there are some Chinese that don't hack. However, we should ban all the Chinese to their own server because the far majority of hackers are Chinese.

It does seem like the scum of China specifically come to the NA region, probably to gently caress with us dirty whites, of course.

If my presence pissed off people in the AS server as much as being chinese or being latino pissed off white people on the NA servers then I'd probably play there all the time.

I'm about 450 hours in. Only seen 1 or 2 obvious cheats/hacks. Got to #2 on solo vs. squad yesterday afternoon. Super intense. It really is good practice for getting into firefights. Double kills feel great. Triple kill is a mini-chicken dinner.

Bought this months ago but never really played since I couldn't get any friends onboard, figured 1.0 was just as a good of a time as any to start fresh.

Had a solid solo run with a couple of kills. Would've been three kills except a third wheel showed up as I got the jump on someone and killed us both

Feels good, but man I need to get used to how the weapons feel
