VulgarandStupid posted:I tried the reddit thing for threads_workload or whatever. It helped initially but I got a lot more hitches. I've set it to 6 now, but I have 6c/12t, and it's working pretty well. yeah my performance in blackout is pretty disappointing but it's purely CPU bound due to my older machine. Runs pretty happily at 40FPS but then randomly hitches up. Anyway here's my initial thoughts on blackout as a 2000 hour pubg sweet boy: + The netcode is astonishingly good considering it's 100 people per game on the loving call of duty engine. I seriously have no idea how they got it to work so well, there's no noticeable desync or lag. The only problem I experienced was randomly getting put onto 200+ ping servers, but that was only for a short period yesterday and EVEN THEN it was somehow still reasonably playable. + The time from game join to on the ground is just right. You plummet out of the chopper super quick, and the choppers traverse the map super quick, so it feels like there's little downtime between games. + The balance of scopes/range feels very good. Getting a scope never feels like a huge advantage outside of certain gun combinations which makes not getting a scope feel fine instead of unlucky and a chore. + Loot scarcity seems good, high value areas have enough great loot that it's worth dropping and loot is well enough distinguished that it doesn't all feel the same. I never felt that midgame "ok now I don't need to loot anymore". + Meds feel really well balanced. Being able to heal while moving is a massive improvement that helps keep the pace of a firefight going, there's no lulls while both parties hide in cover and patch themselves up. + Movement in general is just great all around, parkouring around areas adds so much to the gunplay. - I don't like the map much. It suffers from the same problem that Sanhok (the latest PUBG map) suffers in my opinion where it's clusters of extremely good cover (houses, etc) surrounded by empty fields, only worse because there is generally scattered cover in the PUBG fields whereas here you're basically hosed. - The sound design leaves a lot to be desired. This may need more playtime on my part but as far as I could tell footsteps aren't as well rendered (i.e what materials they are on, how far away, direction, etc) and neither are gunshots (inside or outside, how far, what guns, etc). - I miss freelook and leaning. Overall, I'm happy with it and it actually feels like a viable alternative to PUBG - finally - with the provisio that it's a less tactical and much faster paced experience. It was really weird for me getting used to the fact that the guns have no recoil outside of like, the LMGs, and it's normal to full auto someone over a hundred meters away. I played like four hours of this yesterday, then played a PUBG squads match, and I couldn't shoot for poo poo because I had to re-adjust to single shot/burst firing and spray control again.

The hit detection is really or the game has that CS thing where your hit ox lags severely behind your character. I swear in shooting people and getting no hitmarkers at all. Blops3 had this too but it seems even worse.

It's not just you, the netcode/hitreg has been wonky for me at times too. One of my very first Blackout matches I got gunned down and watched the killcam - dude's aim was way off and he blew almost a whole mag at the empty air behind me and yet still got a hit marker on every single bullet.

Never trust kill cams, they're generally not 1:1 for what they saw and did.

Like the only thing kill cams are good for is being able to call out a camping spot if you're playing a game that you can respawn in. Don't even bother watching them if you can't understand that what you see is probably way off.

We had 6 people on last night so we decided to try the 6 v 6 modes. We were all level 1s and somehow it decided to pair us up against level 40+ people. We felt good to get maybe 3 kills the entire match. What the gently caress.

I know that there's no competitive mode in yet, but in other games like Overwatch there's still a secret MMR behind the scenes even in casual playlists that tries to match equally-skilled players so games are decently balanced. It doesn't seem to be the case here, because the quality of my teammates and opponents is so wildly varied game to game. I guess this could be as a consequence of the newness of the game, but I hope it settles down soon.

Everytime SBMM has been put in its been a bad time. Especially on PC not knowing if this big launch numbers will sustain we don't need that kind of stuff.

Ran into a team last night that knew their poo poo when it came to turtling. They had holed up in the back room of a gas station, placing barbed wire just inside the door, trip mines, and had stockpiled loads of flashbangs and cluster grenades. Once we managed to take out the barbed wire, we started lobbing our own grenades and trying to peak the corner to shoot. It was all too much for us to deal with though and they had clearly stockpiled more ordinance than we had. Our entire team went down trying to dislodge them from their snake-hole. It got me thinking that since loot is so abundant in this game that turtling in key locations might be a really stupidly viable strategy for lategame survival. There's so many defensive tools in this game compared to PUBG, and if you choose that loot accordingly you can really be a force to be reckoned with in the right circumstances.

Definitely. One thing that too many hours of PUBG has taught me is that the vast majority of BR players are panicy bundles of nerves, especially later in the game. Being the one pushing/attacking exacerbates that and gives you a huge advantage most of the time. The only exception to this is when you have great position/cover and you know that the circle is going to push guys directly into you without cover. In that rare case, don't be the hero who pushes out solo and gets wrecked because you're not as good at shooting mans as you think.

You also won't get too many finishes (down+kill) if you don't take the enemy space. It's very easy to peak from behind a tree or building, and if you go down you just scoot right behind your cover and wait for a revive. If you don't flank or finish, they'll just revive and you'll in turn burn through all of your ammo and meds.
