You should always bum rush shield guys and melee them. Knocks the shield away and then you shoot.

This is a terrible idea that will largely get you killed.

Just throw a C4 charge instead. Kill the shield guy and his teammate using him as cover.

Wait you're playing this? How do I play this with you, I remember what a goddamn monster you were in Bad Company 2.

Awesome man get on CTS mumble there's usually a dozen people on playing. We'll kill and trash talk some randoms. I'm very bad at this though, I tend to throw grenades at the hostages and get shot in my feet a lot. I learned to check for those laser trip mines though so that's progress.

I could do it in bf4 by almost saturating my upload. i only have my own experience to talk about but it was consistent every time i tried. I could hit poo poo and everyone bitched about me lagging.

Anyone know what the various multiplayer ranks are? Trying to figure out where I stand in the herd.

also casual brings in way more renown per hour than ranked.

Liberatore posted:

No, it doesn't? The matches are longer but renown is directly based on your score. Ranked also gets a renown multiplier bonus. If you do worse in ranked then sure, casual is better.

Not that it matters. By the time you can play ranked, if you don't party up for it, you will have more than enough operators and attachments to stop worrying about renown.

It's exactly because matches are longer. I do the same in casual and ranked i looked up my stats on that ubi site. I'm just hoarding renown for the eventual DLC operators which allegedly cost 10K+ or whatever. I have everything i need right now except skins.

Liberatore posted:

I do a bit better in ranked and usually get 500-600 renown per win. Casual is half that. My record was around 1650 renown in a 9 round match during the beta, but that was at +95%, so about 850 renown base.

I didn't crunch the numbers but I'm willing to bet you -especially you since you have a high kdr and win rate -would rake in even more in Clancy bux. Don't compare match scores but overall per 3h game session for example. Especially if you get a wrecking crew to go 3-0 back to back.

MLG pro tip for people new to the game. When attacking go shoot out every outside camera before you actually start to do your plan.

here's another pro tip if you're down 1 vs 5 go back to the police van and get in it to drive away. you can save you gun and k/d that way.

So i thought this game had some sort of anti cheat. saw three different hackers last night and one guy went 20-2 by headshotting everyone without a scope at the start of every round. I thought fairplay would have caught on to that?

Shield players are currently able to achieve full ADS accuracy without being in full ADS. It is unrelated to the time it takes to achieve that state.

I was wondering about this. i saw a guy with blitz shoot people every 1-1.5 second and would hit them reliably.

Also, in case people didn't see it:

Game is definitely worth it at this price. I'm 110 hrs in and still playing at least 4 a day.

lurkers should buy the game, it's one of the best shooters we've had in a long time. it's like a mix of cs 1.6 and bfbc2 and it's got a casual mode for loving around and a try hard ranked mode too.

I paired up with a couple of solid dudes during ranked queues and one of them suggested the best Japanese operator. His gadget is ninja boots and he puts them on and you can't hear him walk or run while they are on, but while they are on barbed wire damages him. Hahaha.

what about the gear he's wearing? that makes a lot of noise too, does he get naked?

Some people seem to be complaining that the menus are like Battlefield 2-era laggy now. Or do you mean in gameplay?

Laggy during gameplay. I guess I have to tweak stuff, some people say it could the polling rate of the mouse but I don't think I updated anything recently.

It's competing with fairfight and a bunch of other products which also announce bans globally. I think it's a good thing, lets people know that it's actively working.

I've noticed that it seems you can shoot out thermite's charge even if he placed it on a reinforced trap door. At first I thought it's because I shot out the entire trap door (leaving only the reinforcement). After further observation, any gun can shoot out thermite's charge through reinforced trap door. You can destroy the charge both while it's burning or just placed, too.

Yeah one guy did this to two of my charges in one round so when I figured it out I started doing it to other people. I assume it's spreading like this.
