Yeah, I suspected something like that was going on, which explains why no one else dropped hospital.

Fun game for mobile though.

The game is full of bots until you hit level 10.

Why even have snipers, they don’t add much to the game aside from encouraging you to camp

Err what? The Kar98, M24 and AWM exist literally to punish people for sitting still.

Not really. You can move in place while camping a spot and you can stand still to shoot while aggressively chasing people.

At least the moving speed nerf to snipers should help balance this out.

I really don't get why they wanted to expand on the grips. The spray video I watched showed that half grip is basically superior for everything except for single tap which angled still is superior over just for the ADS bonus.

The half grip has a weirdly big vertical spread between the 1st and 2nd shot with the rest of the bullets hitting much closer together. Therefore I'm still going to stick with the angled grip since I think quick double hs will be harder with the half grip.

(I suppose it'd still be somewhat useful for tapping? Except other grips are apparently better for that.)

I'm arguing with my dumb friend about this and while I suspect I know what the answer will be here, I want to ask anyways:

First question: Prior to this upcoming weapon balance patch, was the KAR 98 "too good?" (Whatever definition of "too good" you'd like to use)
and Second Question: How does the change to L3 helmets and reduction in AR strength impact the answer to the first question?

1. No
2. Possibly, though it depends on exact breakpoints of DMRs especially, as well as the severity of the AR nerf

Personally, I think the Kar98 will be overpowered based on the helmet 3 change alone, but I know many people here disagree.

I mean it hasn’t magically become any easier to headshot someone with a Kar98, it will just be fatal more often.

The bullet flinch also makes the kar more of a risk/reward weapon in a toe to toe, especially versus the newly buffed DMRS.

I can agree with this simply because I think it's way easier to land one KAR flickadawriss than it is to land 3 shots with any of the rifles at reasonable range

The boat gently spinning across the landscape was fun, but the great glitchy vehicle stuff was my favorite.

ye

so much of this game (especially on miramar) is spent shooting at people peeking through windows/around trees that first headshot is critical

buuut when guys are rocking level 3 helmets suddenly the Kar is dramatically worse than the M4 because the first shot aint gonna put them down anyway

I don’t know man, that slow Kar98 velocity makes it pretty tough against smart opponents. At this point I’m only getting KAR headshot when healing or maybe reviving because I’ve been forcing myself to move every 1 or 2 shots.

We get into a lot of building to building skirmishes because we fight in San Martin a lot so even when guys are moving a lot at the end of the day the only thing you are ever seeing is their noggin for like less than a second

And you can move in place while healing, anyway.

The TK was so understandable. I could live with squad mates having the yellow outline as in Xray mode in spec/replay mode. Maybe as a toggle.

No matter how many times I watch that clip, I cannot see any overhead marker for Boom. He looks just like any of the other enemies.

When you play with good people you are bound to win a lot and kill a lot more people and stay alive a lot longer (more revives when downed because your team immediately kills the people that downed you). The group he plays with is great at the game. I don't play with great people and managed to have a pretty solid season.
