Found your problem.

If you only play with goons, you are (on average) always on the best team. :smugbert:

It's not like I have a great K/D or anything. I'm generally speaking, solidly in the middle of the pack on the lobby leaderboard, but I will always* get put on the worst team. I was just playing a game on Fringe where all 5 pubbies ran to the EXACT same place at the start of the match. It was incredible. And I was in a game earlier where there was only 1 guy in the lobby with a 2+ K/D and naturally, I was not put on his team and instead got put with the two lowest people.

*confirmation bias - It's not ALWAYS (just almost always) the worst team, but it sure does feel like it's always.

This has literally been a problem with the game since release.

Immediately followed by that shitpile where the game refused to add anyone to our group for 90% of the match so we were playing 3 v 4.

Getting on now if there are any groups running - finished weekly so I can try out Blackjack.

Stop playing with goons, then the other team can actually get scorestreaks for you to kill.

I do

let them shoot them down and use the point (or two points if you're also running engineer) on something else

if I'm in a party with certain people I'll change my classes up because I know they usually run launchers. ty anti-air team players & enjoy the free points

I'm talking leveling up, not the camos. Those went very fast. I opened the l4 siege back at Memorial Day and I've just now hit double prestige on it. I run it on many of my classes and it seems like it takes forever.

Oddly, launchers were the first thing I got diamond and the RPG kills are pretty easy. Of course, I was running Ghost and flanking, so I could line up my shots.

I think launchers were my first set of diamonds as well. They just take sooo looong to level up. I know theirs no reason to, but I'm a weirdo when it comes to that. I have every weapon I have double prestige maxed out after this past weekend. I only had the l4 siege, the RSA and some odd crate melee weapons to do, but it's still done.

Any word on new blackjack side bets? I was able to finish the sixth side bet this morning so I'm wondering if there will be something new next week.

Save the footage straight to a USB stick and then upload to gfycat/streamable. Image quality takes a substantial hit when using imgur's gifv tool, and you've already taken one hit by probably uploading footage to YouTube first.

While finishing diamond shotguns, I found that a silencer works surprisingly well on the Haymaker. I don't know exactly why, but it works well because of the damage mechanics for shotguns in this game, and you don't notice the damage dropoff because of the already low damage. Similarly the Brecci also works well, though the damage penalty is more noticeable.
