This is fairly average FPS veteran aim, dude. Guy has played a bunch of shooters, and most everyone who does the basics right (mouse pad, sensitivity, input lag, etc.) , practices some and isn't exceptionally talented or driven looks more or less like this.

I bet it is a stupid Youtube thing--I have seen other videos similarly bleeped more recently (as of a year or two ago), despite the content of the video otherwise obviously not being for minors.

YouTube monetization is affected by profanity in videos as of 2019, so it is taken seriously by 'creators' and they will edit for profanity.

Naner, it's a word annoying people say instead of "banana."

And oh hey, look, I was right. It's hilarious, because, again, the content could be raunchy, but as long as you aren't saying any no-no words...


Speaking of, I can tell I have spent too much time playing my Switch online, because I managed to get caught off guard when seemingly nice people on my team devolved into throwing a ton of homophobic slurs and other offensive poo poo. It's been years, baby, but fake war never changes.

I have to admit, it's fun to respond to randoms on my team who rage in normal, even tones. I often employ a nice, "that's unfortunate" or ask stupid questions related to their rant. I guess I sound earnest enough, because no one has seemed to catch on that I'm making fun of them.

Uhhh doth mine ears deceive me, or did Iskra just call someone a oval office for shooting me? That's a bit spicy.

I'm pretty sure Mara calls people puta, too. That one still surprises me when I hear that after getting a kill.

What’s the etiquette for fragging a teammate in this game? I usually just look down at their corpse and then toss a Molotov at my feet.

One guy called me a retard though so I teabagged him instead.

I also get TK’d a lot for some reason even though my tag is TrumpSmokesMids6[BLM]

Weird

I have voice chat on, so I usually just say "poo poo, sorry teammate". To my surprise, I rarely have any backlash.

I'll RPG myself if I accidentally TK the same player multiple times, though.

This right here is why I'm terrible at this game and why I hate Warzone. Can someone explain to me how he actually sees someone there? Is it my old man eyes or does he just have some weird sixth sense?

He's playing at 1440p probably on a 24" monitor, which is then recorded at 1080p, edited, and uploaded to youtube. What you're seeing is probably much less clear that what he sees on his end when he plays.

His published settings are just 1920*1080. But for the most part, these things are invisible on YouTube due to the limits of encoding but perfectly visible in-game. Usually a few settings together:
1. High-ish digital vibrance
2. Monitor contrast on a 144 or 240 Hz monitor reasonably high (it would actually be tough to see these at 60 Hz because the amount of frames that these small movements show up for will be more limited - fewer chances to even be presented with a frame that has a guy in it)
3. In-game either Filmic SMAA 2x at filmic strength 1.0 or whatever (whichever minimizes TAA iirc) [Personal experience: SMAA 1x and no AA work too for spotting, but you may lose people in visual noise]
4. Either an ignore filmgrain filter and some small color adjusts in the NVidia filter, or Clarity&Sharpening set. There are a bunch of variants on this one.

Finally, scanning the horizon (lots of people stare at where they expect loot to be, and generally spend a lot of time and mental energy looting, when it should be a fully automatic and largely blind process that no time is spent on). That is, spots where profiles can show up are scanned (ridges, rooftops) and places where people might almost disappear in the clutter but would have LoS (like the guy here). Combine that with simply training your stimulus recognition (pieces that look even a little off are people, shoot them) and then follow the hitmarkers once you do spot and shoot somebody. In my experience, lots of lower level players are hesitant to shoot at say a muzzle flash, a window with a smudge, a little spook in a bush - there is a tendency that people want to sort of 'confirm' a target, and that is very silly to do in a fight.

Also, streamers maintain framerates with all the max settings by having a dedicated capture card/capture PC while their main machine just plays the game.

Jackfrags said in his 3080 video that he plays at 1440, OBS NVENC to 75Mbit 1440p, renders project down to 40Mbit 1440p.
https://youtu.be/dwT-eU3T9D0?t=349

I mean if you blow up the video on a 1440p monitor, the guy IS visible but he's very small. Once you notice him it's like, oh yeah, that's not part of the building. But also think of what's going on. Buddy up ahead just pinged near that area. He's not just running, he's looking that way. He also plays a shitload of FPS. You're also seeing 60fps stomped on by YouTube compression after that, he's seeing 120+ fps crystal clear. I think you'd probably see a guy running in front of the pharmacy from ~60m away too, if you're honest. Just maybe a bit later than Jack!

Confirmed. I ground out Obsidian over the weekend. "Worth it" i cry to myself.

R.e. shield counters (playing on HC with EOD):
-Thermite is best in class - almost always an instakill on stick/close hit. EOD lets you survive the burn a bit but you have to move away quick.
-Molotov - instakill if direct hit, like thermite but the kill volume feels smaller on the 'impact', and the lingering dot is more lethal but smaller.
-Semtex stick (including Xbow) is a guaranteed kill. However you have time to react and suicide bomb them/their friends. Cant glitch it into walls anymore.

When thermite is your #2 most used weapon lol

Sorrowful be the heart
I am an avowed bad player of this game but I still like to beat my head against the wall, but what is up with the matchmaking in this game? I am not good enough to ever really stomp anybody, but if I am doing "well" in say TDM I'm usually only going positive by 5 kills or so. If I am doing badly, I just get stomped into the mud and end up going negative by 10+ kills. Am I just staying up too late at night and playing into sweatlord territory after all the other casuals go to bed?
