i miss the ambience of those maps. who cares if the sound isn't realistic? it's the same for everyone so just deal with it in the smart ways that win games, not the bad crybaby ways that lose them

I'd be interested to play a rain map with the new volume adjustments. I thought it was fun but it sounded like you were under a waterfall.

the problem wasn't the realism, the problem was the ear damage from playing the rain map. If you had the volume loud enough to hear footsteps, you suffered hearing damage. If you didn't, you'd lose every close-range fight to someone who did. It was garbage design.

Fog, however, was interesting. Except it apparently didn't render similarly for all players, which again, was bad design.

I didn't even know there was a rain map! (I'm still new to this game.) I would love rain.

Edit: Hey, is the "custom game" just regular matches with traditional server lists and poo poo? Because like...if you don't want random, can't you just make a server and wait for it to fill up like games used to?

Sorta, yea. You can customize all sorts of parameters like how much loot drops, what type of loot, how many air drops, health items allowed, revives allowed, etc etc. Only "approved partners" can create custom games though (mainly prominent streamers).

And the matchmaking won't fill the server out so you have to wait for your lobby to fill with like-minded custom game players who don't care about that sorta thing.

3% of all copies sold banned in one month doesn't seem like an unbelievably severe problem to you?

That means in every 100 person game you were likely to encounter, on average, 3 cheaters!

The solution is to squad with three cheaters, so you are already grouped with the three percent

Yeah it's almost impossible to besiege one of those buildings without losing a part of your squad, especially with zero tree cover.

It OHKOs through a level 2 helmet so allowing sights on it would probably make it super overpowered.

Maybe red dot or holo only but I don't really think it needs it.

The Winchester does not kill a full health player through a level 2 unless it was very recently buffed.

Pripyat. Just go full STALKER, and in addition to the encroaching blue zone, have radioactive 'hot zones' on the map that confer a tick if you stay on them too long.

But I could see a map in one of those former Soviet "infiltration complexes" with complete recreations of "Small Town USA" being pretty sweet, too.

The most recent damage chart I have says it does 71.75 damage on an unarmored torso shot vs the K98's 72. That comes out to 107.625 damage on a level 2 helmet barring math fuckups on my end. Unless it's been nerfed since I downloaded that chart in mid-January or the chart is wrong it definitely should OHKO someone through level 2.

This but mixed urban/suburban with better sound feedback for sounds above and below the player.

The theory would be that the Aussie players would have lower ping to the AU servers than the Chinese, and thus get grouped together in a mostly-aussie lobby. And the chinese who want to play on AU have higher ping and so get their own "china numba wan" game on AU.

It might work!

At least most of the hackers who kill you will now be able to taunt you in fluent English?
