Also, how to you get on the pointed roofs of houses, like those in Pochinki? I mean, not parachuting onto it, but after equipping guns in houses. Someone dropped from above while I was crawling out on a balcony. That seemed fishy, because I fail to see a way back up there.

You can often jump the gap between adjacent buildings, so if there's a tall building nearby with roof access they probably got onto it from there.

It's a pretty good place to be because you can basically hill-peek people over the rooftop, and also get the drop on people below if they're not expecting you to be up there.

Are shots simulated on the server or client side, anyway? How does lag factor into it? Is it a poo poo show like Battlefield, that'd actually require a crosshair indicator because blood splatter is an absolutely inaccurate indicator (at least when moving laterally, anyway)?

The fact that hackers can insta headshot the entire server shows that hit detection is client side.

I went back there looking. Yeah, now I saw it. There's one single tall house with roof-top access.

Honestly I think it's shots into limbs because if you get shot in the foot it does like no damage. But there is no feedback after you die to say that you've done that and it can be super frustrating. That m24 one was the absolute worst, there was no lag/desync possible, both shots were dead into him where he was virtually stationary.

M24 only two shots on level 2 armor and below. It won't kill on level 3 armor or limb shots. It also exactly kills on a level 2 armor so a tick from boosts will save someone also.

Snipers are only worth it for shooting heads with the exception of the awm and sks.

Hahaha this game. I was dropping in with a pal in duo, and we picked an out of the way house. Another squad had the same idea and we ended up landing on opposite sides of the same house. All four of us went in thru opposite doors and there were no weapons in there, so we all kinda stopped, looked at each other, and then it was a tag team fist fight. A++ would box again.

I just killed a dude with a pistol at the start that had a scar. I don't even know what this means. Feed me some more anecdotes.

I was in a squad game and two of our people died almost immediately in Apts. I ran to my only remaining buddy who got downed as I was running up the stairs. With just a 1911 and a dream, I opened that bathroom door and this dude drew my silhouette on the wall with his vector as I managed to down him in 3 shots. I picked up my buddy and let him sickle that man to death.

His three squadmates turned that bathroom into a meat locker pretty soon after that last sickle swing.

The moral of the story is always go for the stylish kill. Another piece of advice, if you're in a REALLY sticky situation, TK your friend so that the enemy doesn't get the satisfaction of a squad wipe.

Died 95/97 to a hacker just there now.

Landed at the radio mast place, on the high hill. No one around me when I dropped.
Went inside, got level 3 helm, level 2 bag, and a M16, feeling good so far.
Head upto roof, hey a KAR and som..BAM dead.
Didnt release so I could see if he was close or not, he kills 2 more in next 10 seconds.

I guess I gave him perfect los for his aimbot being so high up.

Is it possible to interrupt the reload on the pump shotgun (or revolver I guess) part way to fight?

You can interrupt the revolver reload by just holding RMB and firing in first person. You can't ADS while reloading the revolver but it'll let you aim in third person.

Let me tell you of the epic win we had in 4 man squads.

Myself
Ben
Loc
Dan

So we started and targeted a place near water town, however myself and Loc got bad lag instantly.
So bad the buildings didnt load and we couldnt enter in doors. Another team of two landed beside us, got a pistol and killed both of us.
The lag was so bad that I didnt even see the guy come over and shoot me in the head from one yard.
At the same time Ben and Dan landed about 2km from each other, with water town in between.

So already two down within first 2 minutes. Dan and Ben met up after a few minutes dodging people, and laid in a course to the center of the circle, it was up the hills in the middle right of the map.
They arrived at a house on top of a hill, one of the red ones, and camped there for 5 minutes. Then shots started to get closer, as the circle reduced.
They decided to go outside and camp under the near trees, as the house will distract anyone. So they went outside lay down but then a car came along with 4.
So they crawled away, as the 4 went into the house.
So they decided to go downhill and trap the team coming down. They waited, and all this time the numbers and circle was getting smaller.
It was at 16 when they spotted someone coming towards them, and Ben shot him. However he had one team mate, and Ben was shot dead.

One left. Dan killed the second guy and was about to sprint thinking there was two more coming but then the firefight in the house started. Seems the 4 stayed inside, and it was just a froup of 2 that came to us.
He crawled to another tree, and waited. 15 became 14, 12, 10, 9, 5, 6, and then the circle was coming onto Dans position. He didnt know what to do as if he stood up he would be shot.
So he threw a few smoke grenades in random directions, to distract. It worked, it fished out a guy, he got shot by someone else, who then got shot by another.
3 left. Then one died to the blue wall, and the circle was only 30 yards across, all grass and a few trees.

Dan waited and waited, threw two flashs to see if he could fish out the last guy, and it did! Saw the last guy crawling to one side of a tree. His last frag grenade landed and he took the guy out with his red dot ak.

Fin

TL;DR - 4 man sqaud, lost 2 within first 3 minutes, went onto win it.

All third person does is cause players to assume they have been seen at all times and play appropriately. When first person comes out people are going to die and call bullshit to no end because "No way they could see me there". People will also get complacent on checking their corners.

I love how he says he doesn't want to pick a side but then immediately uses the words 'fair' to describe first person, as if he's not clearly saying 'unfair' about 3pp. There's not nearly enough exploration of building clearing in his examples either, where offensive advantage is preferable to avoid stalemates.

Most people immediately will take the closest cover from you as soon as they see you, so if they're not in the process of doing this they're probably oblivious

Crouch and Jump at the same time (press the buttons at the same moment, not like a half-life crouch jump) and you can crouch jump through a ton of windows.

You shouldn't because it's easy and fun, and can drastically change your options and how you approach fights.

If vaulting animations take too long and crouch jumping works I'll probably keep crouch jumping.
