Oh hey, our squad got mugged by 12 people. All hunting for us. In close proximity and LOS of each other.

Not suss in the slightest. :geno:

Bad end to a really good round, too

Yeah, it's a shame that kind of stuff can't happen organically in this game. It'd be neat to make friends with somebody and cooperate, even if you both knew you'd have to backstab each other eventually.

But of course in reality that only leads to this:

Back in the day when people played Action Half-Life there was this clan called BORG that trolled people a lot. So I guessed the password to one of their ICQ accounts and from there found out they had a file server which had a bunch of the default models, but spiked so that big red lines would stick through walls and poo poo. Essentially a ghetto wall hack. I distributed them to everyone to use against them. Those were good times.

What was their password?

This was sort of still a thing in the days of CSS, people would run wallhack skins until Valve finally got their head out of their rear end and changed sv_pure to always on (sv_pure forces players to always use the server's version of files).

The reg on this game seems totally bonkers. Nothing seems to match up, at least early game. And you can't even trust the replay as nothing ever seems legit about that.

This game uses less tickrate and more carrier pidgeon to deliver packages between you and your opponent, so it is what it is

Nothing's wrong. Nothing is wrong. Everything is on track.
I occasionally ran nosepak when I played Q2CTF on the Open ladders. I wasn’t caught, but people got suspicious (and they implemented file checks I think for skins?). I was also pointed to an open web directory that belonged to v23.Sk|nt which had a config file with all manner of visual tweaks, like making water crystal clear, etc. I used those tweaks for several years.

Anyways, crapped out at #2 last night; was stuck at the bottom of a cliff with a road in front of me and no where to go really. Ended up getting domed because he was above me and could see me fairly clearly (and I was looking left and right to watch for him coming down the side of the cliff), but I was pleased with 2nd. My ‘less than 10 people left’ skills definitely need some polish.

SCAR has tighter spray on full auto, M4 shoots much faster. M4 is better. Angled is slightly better for full auto but it barely matters.

If only it could still take an 8x. It's potentially kind of useless if you only find an 8x. At close ranges I'd rather have an M4 or a shotgun and long range the M4 is pretty freaking good anyway if you don't find a bolt action gun.

Here's some evidence proving that.

Angled foregrip is the better of the two. The vertical foregrip only reduces vertical recoil, but vertical recoil is easy to predict. Angled is the only attachment that reduces horizontal recoil which is a lot harder to predict since it can go either left or right.

cyanidewolf posted:

It actually got nerfed hard in 1.0 and has the worst recoil pattern of the 5.56 guns atm. Bluehole wanted to make it an early to mid game gun you'd eventually drop. It's no longer the powerhouse it used to be.

People keep saying the angled is better but since there’s no horizontal recoil on the first 6 shots, I like the vertical more.

Yeah, I feel the same.

Before I ever looked at the recoil reduction %'s that have been published, I always went with the vertical grip. Then I saw that the angled one had some huge % reduction on horizontal recoil and switched to that since more reduction = better, duh, but it really didn't feel any more accurate on the M4.

Now I'm back to using the vert grip on the M4 when I have the option. Just feels better.

The angled grip is the one that actually speeds up ADSing, though, which is actually pretty good

Cool recoil vid. Thing is tho it's not all that often that you're gonna just spray out an entire clip. If you're at the range where that's a good idea aren't you better off using any of the SMGs anyway?

Ran into my first blatant hacker in FPP. Dude shot me from 300m through a wall and through some shipping containers full auto. Was rather pissy about it since I was fully geared up with an AWM.

I only ever switch to auto when clearing small buildings/100% sure that I am engaging at close range. Even then, I feel stupid spraying everywhere and though I've gotten a handful of full-auto kills, staying in single shot mode seems preferable for actually hitting dudes.
