I always forget that jumping off or out of a vehicle while it's moving at all kills you really easy.

Haha I love seeing kill messages like this

I was playing in a squad of goons s few days ago and it was in the somewhat late game (I think with maybe fewer than 40 people alive) and we saw a message pop up that someone got a kill with the pan, I mean that's pretty impressive how that happens at a point when presumably most people are likely carrying rifles and grenades and vests and scopes and poo poo, makes me wonder if someone quick switched to it and got lucky when the other guy reloaded

I got a kill because of someone doing this the other day and it made me happy

I hit him once when he charged at me and dodged him

He jumped instead of braking and died

We had a match yesterday (that we lost as the #2 squad) where in the last 2/3 circles we saw 6 Uzi kills. People sometimes get just shat on for guns.

An extended/stock micro uzi is legit good and fun choice for a secondary.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

The uzi, over under, s12k, and ump are basically the early game weapons i want to grab immediately upon landing. The uzis rof is so high its easy to magdump people at the beginning of the game when theres chaos and no one has entrenched positions full armor and scopes. 1v3d a squad early game using an uzi and running around a large truck.

So a guy just drove a buggy straight at me while I fired half a clip directly at his head with a scar and somehow he didn't go down. Am I crazy or is the front of the buggy supposed to be unprotected? That felt like some serious horse poo poo.

Because this is based off of an ARMA mod, where you had both 3rd and 1st person viewpoints

its funny the heart of milsperg gets all excited about firing modes and four levels of crouch but third person and seeing around corners, oh yeah totally fine and good gameplay

I love the third person, I mean it is a level playing field as long as you play third person as well. I like the situational awareness it allows you to maintain. I do have a coworker that plays first person view most of the time and I'm actually surprised at how well he plays, however I do give him poo poo for handicapping himself. Game is gooood.

I know that by crouching by a low wall in a corner, where I can third over the top and free look in every direction, I can have the visibility of being in the open while being completely covered.

There are heaps of examples. It's cool I guess because after all those hours in quake and cs it's something different, but I don't know if it helps the gameplay.

Yeah 3rd person has its drawbacks but I think it works. Without 3rd person you couldn't pan around you while making long runs, you wouldn't have any idea who was landing nearby, etc.

you can look over your shoulder.

and its more fun having to maintain your awareness from the 1PP than by using the crutch of free look. i will still play 3rd person occasionally when 1st person only is released, but will definitely stick to 1st person more often. much better.

I have never won the man vs car scenario yet ive been shot out of my car like 3 times while trying to run people over. I don't get it honestly. I aim at the drivers position on the windshield and let loose and never accomplish poo poo.

The way to win car battles is full auto unload a clip into it and blow it up. If you're trying to headshot them you're getting run over. Blow them up and its the easiest 4k of your life.

Completely disagree with the people saying goons are the same as pubbies.

Just had some great games with goons including my first squad win.

Really strange, we dropped on school and there were no other squads, then we moved to apartments and again looted it with impunity. Silencers all round and fairly decent gear, then the circle for once fairly favoured us. A little hairy at the end but I believe we all survived with just one knocked down.

I was eD--De by the way, salute to my 3 teammates.

Yeah, that was a good game. I agree that games with goons are a ton better than pubbies. I was Elmquist in that game btw.
