I think I am misunderstanding how scopes work. I had one equipped on an assault rifle and...it didn't do anything, even when I RMB aimed. I didn't see a separate key for scope either. Either I didn't actually put it on or I am seriously confused.

That seems completely counterintuitive but then I don't claim to be an expert. Thanks :)

Wish that they would take that short time period when you load into the game and before you get on the plane where it is you and the other 90 players just screwing around with different weapons without consequence and make it into its own practice mode. One could get a feel for how the weapons and mechanics work and make for a fun distraction, just being suicidal idiots with other people.

Holding down RMB steadies your weapon and is more accurate than hipfiring, clicking RMB lets you aim down sights which is more accurate than just steadying your weapon

It's a pretty good system

Why are the Keys selling on the marketplace for 9 dollars when you can buy them in game for 2.50

Some regions can't buy keys. I don't know why. I for example get regional error messages even though I can buy gamescon boxes.

who are these people, where do I find and kill them

when I'm in a vehicle in a flat fuckin area like that and driving around for all to see, you can bet everyone's going to shoot me or my car to hell and back (and afterwards shoot each other because they revealed their positions)

ive actually done this a few times, and what happens is if you can somehow survive the first 10-20 shots, everyone starts turning on each other. had a circle go from 6 to 2 in about 20 seconds of driving around - everyone shot at me first and then all shot each other while i parked, shot out the tires, healed and then shot the last dude

The tactic is nothing new, yeah, but I seem to always get the short end (of a bullet) trying to do it.

3pp is just not good for competitive play. its full of cheesy BS and lame tricks that people try to claim is 'strategy' or 'tactics'. its like nope, you just watched the guy for a minute while you hid behind cover and then you pop out already aimed and shooting. its just lame. thats coming from someone who has played hundreds of hours of arma and dayz and abuses the hell out of the 3pp camera too.

It's alright for third person but with first person in now they really need to add the option for hold RMB for ADS like every other modern shooter.

I've come to love third person and first person is really jarring. If you don't want to get shot by guys behind cover, look behind the cover before you run past it, or don't go there at all. It's not like first-person feels any less like a video game.

I hope they go full mgs5 in terms of cool 3rd person environmental interaction. Takedowns and vaulting will really help.

It takes a few rounds to get used to FPP but once you do it's really great. The engagements are much much better as stalemates are much more difficult to establish.

The scale seems mostly fine. There are a few crates and barrels that are gigantic but for the most part, buildings seem fine.

Just stop getting so close to objects you are trying to shoot over.

lol this is such a bad, basic argument for third person

I had two engagements last night that were so much more exciting and balanced because it was first person and not third. The first was rolling up on a squad in a house, the second was taking a hill. Both were actually fair because the other group didn't get any free information. No more sitting behind a tree using a first aid while watching everything. One person can't watch everything from below a window, they have to move around. First person owns

Wario Chalmers! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
The other day I was able to sit in a bathroom in a building near Georgopol at the edge of a circle with the gas closing in. The 3pp camera let me look outside using the windows physically above my head and I was able to spot a guy running down a hill and quickly ran to the other door to snipe him. That poo poo is dumb as gently caress and impossible in first person.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

The only really annoying thing about FPP is the fact that window sills can't be shot over while crouching and that sometimes there's just random objects that you think you can shoot over but you can't and you don't find out until you pull the trigger and give away your position and look like an idiot

Also a lot of people haven't figured out that stairs are death traps in FPP for the aggressor because of the camera position but I'm okay with that because it's free kills
