On the one hand, that was pretty hilarious. On the other hand, surely you could have underhand dropped all your frags and smokes down below to get out of there with all of you intact.

We were down to a tiny circle with six alive; there was only the one window we could get out of and I don't think any of us had any grenades left (although even if we had we would have stuggled to have put them on that corner from three floors up out of a small window). Being four-on-two we may have been a little gung-ho...

I posted my food for USPOL Thanksgiving!


Played 1 round last night and it ended up being my best round I've played. It was on Miramar and ended in 2nd w/ 5 kills. The final circle came down to 3 of us, my only advantage was being in an elevated position. The eventual winner had a great bit of cover behind a tree so I couldn't see them at all, then when my suppressed SCAR-Laser pew pew'd #3 he was able to locate me. I did hit him at least once, but he had the drop on me.

The best part of the round was on the 3rd to last circle and I was moving towards the top of a hill. I had a Vector and had luckily (I was just trying to get out of their line of sight) flanked somebody that was harassing my approach. I traded my Vector for the SCAR-L in their cold dead hands, then 3 other people consecutively rushed the top of the hill. Their bodies ended up in a pile.

In short, the SCAR is my new BFF.

Man I had a Scar and an UMP on a hill with 3 alive. I threw a frag down the mountain then put my gun back on and waited for them to come to me. Sure enough they both charge over the hill within seconds of each other and I open fire. Unfortunately somehow I equipped the UMP after the grenade and not the Scar and didn't notice till I started shooting and then yelling NO that's not the SCAR ahhh gently caress I'm dead.

Scar would've won that battle, it was all so perfect. :(

For all the people denying hackers, 1 million banned in january equals to 1/30 the playerbase. Thats 3% of the playerbase banned in january alone, or 3 people in every 100 player round

Not all of them are aimbots speedhacking around the map, but there are a fucktonne still. Oc is really bad for it, especially third person.

Why can't they do hardware id bans? Is that not a thing anymore? I thought if BattlEye banned you on its platform it was across all games that used it so they must be able to do hardware id bans. That would take care of a good portion of the recidivists.

All the more reason imo - e-cafe managers would become more stringent on allowing that if their PC's were being blacklisted.

The only way to understand the game is to play more, a lot more. Or watch streamers play (chocoTaco). Do you like FPS games? (I guess you don't need to, but TPP is trash :smug:) There's a lot of traveling in this game, unless you specifically do hot drops (where like, 30 other people drop). Pecado on Miramar. Military on Erangel.

I'm not entirely sure what the cause is (and yes I have a SSD), but the lag time getting into a match for me since 1.0 has been so bad that I don't get past the loading screen until I've been ejected from the plane and halfway to the ground. It gets better after the first couple of matches, but when you can only play 1 or 2 at a time it's irritating. I probably need more RAM.

Groovelord Neato posted:

with the blatant hackers there's no plausible deniability. people smart enough not to obviously track you through buildings and use aimbots that only "clip" when they aim near your head can at least stroke their ego and act like they're good.

and like elman said probably a ton of those but it'd be pretty much impossible to tell since the deathcams are such poo poo.

Offscreen wallhacks (i.e. running a maphack on a laptop, usually with a browser window) are like the big thing in FPP for the last few months. It's why everyone says they don't see as many blatant hacks in FPP. There's nothing really to see except if you spectate the person you'll notice that they don't look around nearly as much as you'd expect.

On the hill above San Martin there's 2 sets plus some other nice sheds which usually have some good stuff in them. Then you've got a nice overview of San Martin to plan an assault into, including going down to those big warehouse buildings (which are also pretty good). That's my go-to if the plane is flying over there.

My favorite kill ever was after I ran out of bullets fire fighting with somebody in and around a few buildings. I ended up running outside and around a corner. Well the other person was following me so I cooked a grenade to drop on them as the ran around the corner. I figured I could drop it and run away.

Turns out I got the timing wrong; they came around the corner faster than I expected. The grenade dropped at my feet as I died. Not long after that it blew up and killed them when they crouched to loot my box.
