Does anyone on here play hardcore mode? I'm AhChaChaCha on psn (ps the 4th edition) if anyone gets into that mode.

Play hardcore playlist so it doesn't feel like you're shooting a nerf gun. I've been having a blast leveling up my pistols the last couple days in hc domination.

I'm running it. It's a little weird to figure out the controls at first, and it has limited rounds, but you always get the kamikaze at the end.

Note that it totally sucks on majority indoor maps (clearly).

I'm enjoying hardcore with a team. It's sooo nice being able to shoot first, and kill first, too!

If you're on PSN add me. I'm only rolling hardcore these days. AhChaChaChaCha

So apparently you get kicked out when you team kill pubbies in HC KC after they consistently steal your kill tags as you're running toward them. Who knew?

whoever can get to tags first should pick them up dont be a baby

I totally agree if it's a longer range kill. But if I'm clearly running right toward them, I think it's lovely to steal someone's tags from them. Meh. Moot point. I'll just start doing it to them now.

Edit: and to be clear, I'm talking they slide right in front of you to get the as you're sprinting toward them.

Today's hc domination play included this gem: random pubby teammate standing next to my crate drop and shooting me in the head right before it falls so he could pilfer my loot.

Same here. I've been consistently thrown into matches with people that are on 3rd+ prestige. I haven't even prestiged once yet.

I'm one talon/cerberus and one of the sentry/guardians away from my last two (really three) camos on the black cell. The drat thing is only level 9. Does it go up to level 18 like the other guns or max out at 12 like the pistols?

I will be going into first prestige soon. What's the consensus on the best first perm unlock? I'm thinking dead silence, but have a fondness for engineer as well.

Two smokes, man o war with thermal. Just toss them at the vortex and shoot mans through the smoke.

The man o war is a loving beast. I ran it so much that I prestiged it twice and unlocked all the camos in my first player prestige. I loved the m8a7 after I got the 54 or 55 and considered using my unlock on it. I stuck with dead silence though because there's nothing quite like sneaking up on someone who's carefully taking their shot to reap that sweet sweet headshot.

Stux posted:

am i the only one who uses reflex instead of elo

I'm running reflex until I unlock all the reticles for it. I think I just have the long shot one left. After that I'm switching to the scopes to unlock all of those reticles followed by thermal for all of those. Precious xp and all...

I am stuck at 9/10 on the infantry kills with the xm 53. I've point blank shot people just standing there in the face and killed them, but it refuses to give me the kill toward the camo unlock. :-(

Have any prestige poo poo attached to it?

It's only at level 9 currently, so no. I've been trying to grind it all day since I prestiged my player this morning. It's moved VERY slowly up all along. Entirely possible that I'm not really hitting the other player, but there were two instances where they were standing still and I aimed at center mass and still nothing. It's the last camo to unlock to get diamonds on the launchers, so there's a good chunk of early game xp riding on one single kill. I'll probably jump two levels from that alone.

I'm just not feeling the Ripper like everyone else is. Was on B site on Breach, heard someone coming, got that ripper up, he runs in, I swing, and nothing. He jumps so I spin around and swing again. Nothing. At this point I just start spinning around in a tiny enclosed places flailing wildly, spamming melee until he shoots me. Sometimes I'll get like 3 or 4 people in a row, sometimes it just doesn't seem to detect them even when the weird little indicator is showing it should.

Also I can't get into the Sheiva or Gorgon. I think you guys are messing with me. I'm gonna stick to my flamethrower and fast shooting guns.

Edit: I also added scavenger to my ultra lovely man o war with thermal and smoke combo. I toss so much smoke I think people's computers are crashing.

How does scavenger work if the opponent isn't running it? Do you just pick up whatever they have as their secondary or do you accumulate more of your support grenades?

It gives you back ammo for your weapons and a tactical/lethal grenade. So if you're running flashbangs, it'll give you back a flashbang for every bag you pick up. Doesn't matter what they're running.

Nice. Next question: does it have to be my kills specifically or can I loot all dead bodies (teammates included)? I'm guessing the latter.

How do people already have every camo in the game unlocked for all the guns? That seems ridiculous to me. It took me two weapon prestiges to finish off the man o war, and it's easily my favorite gun. I'm only like 1/2 way on two of the other assault rifles.

Yes. Took me a while to figure this out.

Also, if someone is muted on the final scoreboard that you don't remember muting, chances are they already quit out of the game.

Muting everyone not in your party is the optimal setting for this game.

Scavenger + smokes + thermal basically amounted to all the special task reticle unlocks in just a couple GameStop afternoon. And a lot of pissed off pubbies. Scavenger might have to be my third perm unlock.

It would be easier to ignore it, if the netcode was at least consistent in its being laggy or good (cause then you just go, "welp, whaddya gonna do"), but p2p being what it is, well... netcode that can vary like a manic depressive drives me up the wall.

It's not like they have dedicated servers for this, so you're also at the mercy of whomever gets host.

I still can't figure out why everyone hates the ICR, it's the best AR for me after the KN-44. v:shobon:v It's certainly better than the burst rifles, that's for drat sure. gently caress THOSE THINGS

Compared to the man-o-war and the k8a7, I think both of them feel off. It's likely personal play style, but I just don't feel great with them and I'm typically an AR guy in this game. I've unlocked all the camos for the kn-44 and the majority for the icr. I will be glad to be rid of the icr after the last couple are complete.

Try rolling the burst shot ars with a scope instead. I find it helps with them.

Mine stays at a constant 50-60ms most of the time, but there are random spikes up to 400ms. I've also noticed more disconnects lately. Also there are times where it just shits the bed and I have to restart the game completely. Pretty sure it's not my connection since I stay connected to psn.

if i could find some way to stop half my shots from being a blank it would be great. Had a near Macys level meltdown today because while i was firing shots into people and just no hit markers because im not aiming 5 miles ahead of where they are moving.

I was having that same problem when I was in the games with you today. Sometimes when I have this I check my ping and invariably it has spiked to 400ms. Huzzah for net code.

The problem with long shots in this game is that they're only possible in one or two spots in most maps and are flat out impossible on some maps.

It's pretty much bullshit.

Just whore around in Fringe for a few games until you net them. They're pretty easy to get on that map, especially in hardcore, and it is pretty common in the rotation of maps.

Edit: and you don't need to be in the barn loft or in granny's house. Plenty of spots on that map and people act like fools on it regularly.

Some trick to getting kn44 longshots?

I farm them on fringe and inception. Just get up in the church/barn/grannies house/etc and patiently wait. Do it on hardcore so it's a one hit kill. You can knock 10 out in a round as long as the other team is dumb.

Learn the maps and get a feel for the spawns. Play with goons and don't use SMGs.

This (except the SMG part, they're awesome). Also tweak your class to compliment the weapon you're using and learn the bet play style of that weapon. I started with the assault rifles and have started working my way into the SMGs and LMGs recently and they play VERY differently.

If you're asking how to stay alive longer and to anticipate enemies better, nothing else matters other than this. DS + Awareness is broken as gently caress and if you have the "upper tier" headphones (Sennheiser/Astro's) you can basically hear your opponents thoughts.

I've never used awareness. Does it really make their footsteps that much louder?
