Hellsau posted:They nerfed the 7.62 revolver to not one-shot headshot people without helmets which is real dumb. I was wondering why I lost an engagement the other day where I opened the fight by taking someones eye out with a revolver before getting instantly killed by their shotgun at 30m. I was confused on the death screen because I could see the bullet hole in their face as they looted my body, and thought they should have died. The new revolver is cool because its a Rhino, but I've not actually really used it. Also, after spending the last few weeks being a total crate whore and forcing my squadmates to cover me all the time, I was finally rewarded with an AUG. Its the best AR in the game, flat out. Winning that match was extra satisfying. Horizontal Tree fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Jan 11, 2018 |

The B_36 posted:There's no pointless weapon in the game, they can all get kills. Except the crossbow, that thing is only used because it's drat near impossible to get kills with. If you surprise someone while they're looting, you can kill them with the P92 and pick up their fully kitted M4. In a recent Miramar game, I dropped into San Martin, and killed a guy with a P92, took his SCAR, and then used that to kill another guy in his squad. Positioning is way more important than the weapons themselves, and especially if you are dropping in a fairly hot spot, you can get kills with anything as long as you play smart, ambush people, and use whatever terrain you have to your advantage. e: that said I would think twice about grabbing the 7.62 revolver for the above reason and I've given the crossbow a fair shake and consider far too unreliable for use by someone with my reaction time and aiming ability. I got a couple potatoes with it in one game but that was an isolated incident. I still think it has the potential to be an end game pro tier final circle killer, but it really needs some kind of hit registration to be max useful.

The B_36 posted:He's saying that it's the gaps themselves that ratchet up the tension, so no, if you get rid of the gaps, then you won't have the tension anymore. Not every shooter has to follow some formula that there HAS to be action every 'x' number of seconds. Being slower paced but super intense because there's more of an investment on the line is the main appeal of the game. Wanting to take that away is like saying you like Call of Duty, but you wish they'd take out the guns. did you read what you quoted or.

I think I said this in the gaming food megathread also but there's no way that Overwatch would have been successful based on its gameplay alone. Blizzard's investment into creating a whole world/mythology around characters that fans want to gently caress is pretty much key to their success. Without that Overwatch would be a pretty sorry sequel to TF2. lmao at them pushing an overwatch league though

I like dropping in Michael Cera. In general tho Miramar's textures load incredibly slowly for me after the last patch, so if we drop somewhere hot I need to run around in circles or risk getting stuck in a wall/furniture while floating through a house to loot it.

One thing to ya'll newbies coming in here and talking about how you just bought the game and how you got into the top ten just by being sneaky with a pistol and shotgun or whatever, please consider this: you are loving yourselves over by pushing yourself up into rankings where you will not be able to hang until you practice more combat. Unless you are some kind of aim savant like shroud you will have a bad time when you're ranked in the top ten percent but have bottom 90% experience with gun shoot skills. Do yourself a favor and start by dropping hot.

I have a tinfoil hat theory about the changes to cheater reporting. Supposedly, the only thing bluehole / battle eye uses reporting for is data tracking. Reporting doesn't actually result in them looking at specific people, and they never ban anyone based on specific reports. They recently changed their out of game reporting policy. Rather than reporting cheaters in their official forums, they have asked players to report cheaters through their support form submission system, which removes cheating reports from the public view. I think they are only adding the report function to replays to prevent people from capturing video footage and posting it to youtube or wherever else. Since you can now report from anywhere in game, they can just sweep that poo poo under the rug, rather than having people post it publicly so they can link to it in a support form submission. It's cool to hear that they're expanding the monetization of the loot crate system so you can look good while fighting against the 5 aim bots on every server. Do you think my sweet tracksuit will be visible in a wallhack? Scoss posted:After listening to this week's giant bombcast, I was reminded again of this pernicious idea that PUBG hackers are partially fuelled by motivation to farm BP for crates in order to cash out a profit via third party websites. They also said that Hollow Knight isn't very good on the latest bombcast, so it's safe to assume that all of their opinions are baseless garbage

Anime Store Adventure posted:I never once considered third person because there’s a hack built in where you can look over ledges and around corners. People commonly use wallhacks to let them look through hills. It's amazing how many times the death cam shows somebody staring blankly into the side of a hill so far down it they can in no way see over, popping up over the hill when you're facing away, then killing you before you realize it even happens. I think that's another reason hacky types prefer TPP; you get a bigger field of view which just makes the wallhacks even more useful. Honestly I think the biggest tell for hacking in PUBG are all the people that have bullets that always go right where the crosshair is. It's like hey bro recoil, drop off, and spread are things that exist in this game and you aren't fooling anybody by getting a double headshot at 400m with a SCAR and a holo sight. That's especially true if you were already aiming at them before you could even see them.

wolrah posted:How is it against my interests? efb. Even if I couldn't make money off these dumb crates, there's a somewhat indirect correlation between bluehole's profits and the quality improvements of the game. I took offense at the American dig. We're usually blind to capitalist intentions, but this is as close to dota's cosmetic-only model as I can find. I mean color changes are always questionable in these kinds of shooters, but, so far, all but a few make you more conspicuous rather than giving you an advantage.

For reals. Do people not remember having 30+ AFKers in a game from bots farming BP? Did they not have a weekly cap on the number of crates you could get per week back then? For some reason I thought you could just keep buying as many as you want for 7,000 BP or whatever it was.

I'm glad other people are having the same experience with the desert map, it's way to easy to squirrel away in the midgame. In russia, if you wanted to camp in the centre you usually only had a couple of complexes to choose from unless the zone went to pochinki and even then, it was much harder to defend an entrenched position. In miramar, the buildings are king poo poo because they are huge, have a ton of ways to escape but no way to really attack (i.e defenders can jump off the roof, jump out of windows, hide on the balconies while the attackers have to come up the single set of stairs) and have very good sight lines in every direction. It makes the early game fun, and the late game is about the same, but in the middle its this big stretch of nuthin

Unless you are some kind of aim savant like shroud you will have a bad time when you're ranked in the top ten percent but have bottom 90% experience with gun shoot skills. Do yourself a favor and start by dropping hot. Eh, kinda. Honestly because the game is so heavily based on an ArmA mod after 1-2 firefights with any weapon I think you can get the hang of it. If you’re coming from other FPSes then the feel is probably weird, but after a handful of shots I got an immediate feel for it. It’s not CS or Battlefield but enough hours in DayZ/ArmA have compensated for it. Unless you mean some kind of ELO? I don’t know how matchmaking works, but then yeah I guess I could see that. I’m sure previous experience only carries me to “Newbie+” but meh, I dunno. I get why the game is popular but even after playing it, it just hits the wrong buttons for me and I wish I could find a better spark for it. I was the guy in DayZ trying to survive forever, not the guy trying to get an SKS and kill passers by. They took all of the elements I *didn’t* care about and forced them together to make PUBG. I also accept that I’m boring and hate fun. e; also lol that people have found a way to monetize it. Anytime a player stands to make money you’re going to have rampant hacking, imo. I remember in the heyday of MMOs even basically dead MMOs were still flush with real money traders.

slap me and kiss me posted:Suppressors are choice because they conceal you from all the goblins coming to murk you who were summoned by the sounds of a firefight. the enemy will be shooting too, and unless you're an idiot/new, they are going to be nearby because long range firefights are a very bad idea in this game. Most of the reason supressors suck is because they don't give you much in the ranges you actually want to be using a gun. For the cost of it taking longer to kill people with one, they make a more muffled noise that good players can and will use to figure out where you are. Even beyond audible range, you can tell what direction a shot is coming from based on context. If bullets are landing near someone, the first thing a good player is going to think is along the lines of "there is someone in this direction that is close enough to me and in a secure enough spot that they are willing to engage in a fight". There's only so many places you can be, they are going to have a pretty good idea of where you are and how to play around you. Groovelord Neato posted:wonder why compensators are so much easier to find. probably because they're better. that makes sense. because in pus mind supressors should be good, but in actuality, they aren't. devs make balance mistakes all the dang time.

Long range firefights happen all the time in my games, yeah it alerts people to your position but that's pretty fun, I actually don't know how you'd play PUBG if you aren't shooting every person as soon as you have a shot on them because close range firefights are a clusterfuck of lag/desync

I don't know. In my experience people can't pinpoint suppressors as accurately as they can unsuppressed. You fire a unsuppressed shot and everyone in a mile radius knows where you are. I have played around people using suppressed weapons and got chicken dinners. At the end of the day use whatever you want. I will be hunting for suppressors still.
