Shield + Welcome Mat is hilarious because there's literally no way to see the trap without vaulting over the shield and getting caught. EDIT: Speaking of shields, I found out today that you can use one of those shields to prevent people from entering through a window. That's really silly on some maps.

It's merely annoying on most maps but whenever somebody does it on the trophy room window on bartlett and locks off 33% of the viable entry points I pop a rage boner

a lot of the time you can pixel snipe frost traps through gaps that are otherwise seemingly well hidden behind cover but prefire spamming has been the most popular and effective way to deal without losing momentum or using explosives. i've seen 3 speed attackers breach into a room at the last second, destroying the frost trap and killing the last anchor all with an acog and no reload. even better is when someone vaults into danger but pulls off a bullshit headshot before they land in the trap or fall to death like they're in a Jason Bourne freefall

my kinda ape posted:I mean his ability is useless in the double secret super pro-league that you play in where everyone gets headshots 100% of the time but down in the weeds of gold/plat we're giving and receiving plenty of shots to the body. (I have ~7000 kills and of those ~2000 are headshots.) Rook gives a 20% reduction in damage taken, the same as having level 3 armor except with no speed penalty. That's pretty drat good unless you're of the opinion that 2 and 3 armor characters are all super lovely because they have a large speed penalty in exchange for a completely useless 10 or 20% reduction in damage. Remaining standing with low health is vastly preferable to being dead. The fact that it guarantees you'll be DBNO is also extremely good since defenders are often behind hard cover which prevents the person shooting you from finishing you off. Also hardly anyone knows this but Rook's armor also doubles your bleed out time which makes it much easier to crawl to safety so a friendly can revive you. TTK in this game is so fast that %20 dmg reduction does gently caress all difference in survivability in my 1000+ hours of experience with this game. Any of the other ops I listed have gadgets that help the team in better ways than rook's does(again in my experience). I mean if you think Rook is the poo poo feel free to play him. I don't care.

I enjoy casual on pc and have never really bothered with ranked In my experience shenanigans like TKing happen negligibly often, and for the most part people are reasonably chill and just play the matches. The occasional all-recruit-shield or all-recruit-870 team is fun and good.

I started playing yesterday on PC and I’ve been teamkilled 4 times already. 2 were accidental but 1 was because I put a castle barricade on a door that someone else didn’t like and instead of saying “hey don’t do that doorway” they just killed me instead. The other one was because one of my teammates was using his drone and I didn’t realize so I shot it when it rolled into my room. That was my fault. Other than that though it’s been a lot of fun. I’ve had a couple rounds where I’ve gotten 4 kills. I even managed to escort he hostage out one time which seems rare.

The other one was because one of my teammates was using his drone and I didn’t realize so I shot it when it rolled into my room. That was my fault. Note that Castle has one of the most swingy gadgets. It's very possible to put up his barricades in places where they will outright help the attackers more than the defenders. And even if they're placed correctly, they're often only middling useful. Of course that's not to say that teamkilling for the choice of OP is ever appropriate (particularly because all defenders can just tear down Castle barricades as needed), but it's probably best to be extra careful with his gadget until you've got some experience on the usual flow on the various maps.

I've found Castle to be useful late round when you need to close off doorways and most folks have used up their explosives already. A timer will be ticking down and they'll be standing there desperately trying to melee the thing down.

Help Castle by using impact grenades to remove them when you're coming through. He doesn't get them back to repeat his mistakes if you do.

Rook is good but recommending him to new players is probably going to make them quit the game. Imagine a world where you just drop your only ability at the he start of a round, are unsure of what exactly it does and then be expected to sit in site all game and get instant headshot by somebody peeking you

Yeah I’ve unlocked Castle, Rook, and Kapkan on the defense side so I quit playing castle after that until I learn the maps better. Kapkan is fun though, especially since he gets so many traps.

Fuze rules. Now that I'm starting to get the tiniest bit of map knowledge, I'm causing havoc with his grenades. What's the consensus on his weapon choice? I like the AK alright, but the light machinegun is really cool...

The AK has one of the highest DPS rates in the game next to the FAMAS, and it's usually my first choice. If I'm feeling less serious, I'll rock the machine gun. It's not as much damage, but has a decent controllable fire rate and still packs plenty of punch. On the other hand, if a team starts hanging out in my usual Fuze spots, I'll bring a shield to catch flankers off guard. Setting off a charge and waiting for someone to come running can work if you know they will try coming upstairs to get you.

The Duggler posted:Rook is good but recommending him to new players is probably going to make them quit the game. ?? I started out playing exclusively rook on defense and I think many people would feel the stress of using gadgets + learning maps + learning everything else about siege to be overwhelming. You've got more than enough to keep your busy just learning the maps on defense and figuring out which side opfor is coming from. Imagine a world where you put your ADS on the windows and your sore teammates TKs you, or a world where you run around placing kapkan traps and get headshot because you were so focused on figuring out where the drat things should go while the attack phase already began, without even having used your wall reinforcements. Infinitely more infuriating. EDIT: I am seriously confused at all the people who scoff at easing a newbie into the game using a straightforward set that always helps your team, taking off the stress of "am I disappointing my team?" which is probably a factor in getting yelled at and, unsurprisingly, quitting the game due to toxicity.

Rook is seriously good for a new player to play. The fact that you only need to drop the bag and nothing else is a good thing, because that leaves the player with a lot of time during prep to figure out where all the windows, doors and trapdoors are, good places to camp, etc etc. Not having anything to do other than looking around is good, especially considering that lack of map knowledge is the biggest killer. Also yeah, P90 is a good gun for a new player too because it's versatile and good enough to headshot hunt AND magdump with. Jack Trades fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Jan 8, 2018 |

If I can convince other people to go LMGs, I love using Fuze's LMG because it's fun and LMG rushes are a blast. But Fuze's AK is just so drat good that it gives other guns image problems because they can't compete. Even if you use no attachments it'll chop people into pieces just because the recoil will magically send a bullet between their eyes. Other guns feel inadequate just seeing it, the way a teenage girl feels bad because the cheerleaders are more popular on Instagram.

Nobody ever looked behind them and claymores didn't exist so I'd just hide in some remote corner, wait for opfor to come inside, and then walk up behind them and hose them down P90 is trash though, don't recommend that to new players. The MP5 is a god gun and they should be using it.

I AM BRAWW posted:Is the AUG or the Commando better for IQ? Personally the commando feels like it has awful recoil. I've had a lot better luck with the aug. On the topic of great new person operators, I've found IQ to be extremely intuitive for when I was learning maps. It helps your team and gives you an idea of where people like to put traps. When I played Rook I felt like I wasn't really learning very much about how the game really works.

Rook is solid all around, especially for newer players who want to contribute but aren't confident in themselves. I got plenty of use out of him when I was starting, and even these days when I can tell I'm outclassed in a match I sometimes pick him as a favor to the better players on my team. Rook armor is a big deal if you have a genuinely skilled Ela or Cav out there carrying.

I AM BRAWW posted:Is the AUG or the Commando better for IQ? I used to use the AUG but a lot of people swear by the Commando. I think it's the fact that you can put a foregrip on it and it has higher damage that makes it a bit more reliable, but it's personal choice.
