The fact that there's no operator whose gimmick is IR goggles to see through smoke is baffling. I can only assume said operator is going to be the first or second one out since it would really make smoke grenades a lot more interesting.

HOOLY BOOLY posted:Pulse fulfills that role rather well doesn't he? Smoke grenades are an attacker thing, Pulse is a defender.  Plus the heartbeat sensor works through walls but isn't real time and requires you to bring it up rather than just turning thermal goggles on, so they don't really overlap.While on the subject of Pulse, jfc Ubisoft make the heartbeat sensor and Montagne's shield toggles. There's zero reason why I should need to hold those buttons down, it's not even consistent with how other gadgets work.

Keket posted:To be fair, when you have either out you can't shoot anyway so what's the point of being able to hit lmb? It's not about being able to hit LMB, it's about having to not contort to keep a finger on G or mouse4 or whatever while I'm playing. I'm guessing gadgets are bound to LB/RB on consoles.

AstuteCat posted:I've personally found that bandit shock wire is better for anti drone as it seems to cover a wider area and will outright destroy drones - then I tend to pick up the batteries and use them on reinforced walls to make a careless thermite really mad when he loses his charges. I've gotten decent success using the Mute jammers to block off corridors and stairs to stop drones then picking them up and redeploying them somewhere useful for defence, it's just really tedious.

I really wish they'd buff Twitch by just giving her two drones with a taser instead of two regular drones and one taser drone. Also, do something about the hit detection on the taser, which is appalling.

HOOLY BOOLY posted:I don't quite see the point of a suppressor when, while they don't give the enemy the bullet direction indicators, if they are looking at you then your name still pops up in red. The decrease in damage is usually a pretty big killer for myself. The main draw of the suppressor is making it impossible for enemies to figure out where you are based on gunshots, and that basically makes them always worth it IMO. It's worth looking at damage breakpoints etc. once those are known to figure out which guns it's really not worth putting one on, but until we have that data, they're probably the best thing to get for any gun.

Montagne is pure garbage when playing solo casual, and Blitz is much better there. Montagne is better with a coordinated team that is capable of not running off like idiots.

They should really let you customise guns for the recruits, that would actually make them a viable alternative to the named operators instead of "the thing the game defaults to when you're tabbed out." Having full access to all the guns/gadgets is actually good enough to be on par with named operator special abilities.

Nalesh posted:PSA on Mute: If you see mutes put down a barricade on top of his jammers, please don't break it unless you absolutely have to, it's to catch drones. More generally, if someone's barricaded a door and you break it down to go through, just put it back up instead of being a dick.

It wouldn't be game-breaking and would actually make Tachanka kind of useful? At least against specific comps. It's stupid that the MG doesn't penetrate shields.

Pork Pie Hat posted:I've followed the advice from earlier in the thread and unlocked Thermite and Rook as my first two guys, but as I understand it as they're so popular they tend to go quickly. I would avoid Pulse, Montagne, IQ, Kapkan and Tachanka because their abilities are very situational or require better teamwork than you'll get out of casual play; everyone else is good. I'd prioritise getting Blitz (so you have a shield operator), then Mute, Jager/Bandit and Glaz, in any order you want, because those are always useful. They're popular for a reason, and having most of the popular ones means you've always got someone to play. Make sure you get one operator from each unit before getting a second, since you pay more for the second/third/etc. operator in any given unit. Once you do, Doc, Sledge, Thatcher, Ash and Twitch are some of the less popular operators with good abilities. Lemon-Lime fucked around with this message at 16:04 on Jan 11, 2016 |

If you take down a Castle's barricades they get refunded (but not if you're the Castle and take it down yourself), so feel free to remove bad Castle barricades.

They should honestly fix her seeing through smoke, fix smoke being inconsistent as gently caress, and add an operator with thermal goggles who can see through smoke (and bring his own smoke grenades), then do something to make her ability more useful.

Great Beer posted:Nitro is bullshit though. It's basically a better grenade but defenders get them. Yeah. It should have a ~5s arming time or whatever and lose the beep. That would turn it from being essentially a grenade into being a much better trap, and also make IQ slightly better.

pandaK posted:Am I missing something here with the map preferences because when I turn off Oregon in my preference the game thinks that it means I want to play in only Oregon games literally 9 games in a row. IIRC it's just weighting - it will try to put you in a game that isn't Oregon if one is available, but if not it will still give you Oregon, and if you stay in the same lobby, that won't prevent the game from switching to Oregon.

lohli posted:The problem with them as area denial is that because of the basics of how those weapons work, they aren't really viable as anything but fancy grenades. Like I said a couple of pages ago: remove the sound, add a ~5s arming time to the nitro cell once it's landed on a surface, and suddenly you have something which is viable as a trap and buffs IQ a little.

Is it me or is the ironsights scope-up time for the underslung shotgun operator's M4 crazy long? Like, at least as long as an ACOG scope-up. The shotgun ADS speed is the normal speed for an assault rifle.

Just had a game where three teammates quit on the round before match point and the last guy went AFK, and yet the matchmaker decided not to bother putting anyone else in the match. I then aced the next round (because three of the enemy decided to go outside to try to kill me), and lost the game because the matchmaker still hadn't put any extra players in by the time the last round started.

GyverMac posted:For me its the nitro cells that are starting to really grind my gears. Some people have perfected the use of that poo poo to an art, throwing it with perfect accuracy from behind cover and around corners. Best part of it all is that you got at least a few seconds to go "aw gently caress not this poo poo again" as you see the loving thing sail gracefully through the air towards you. This. It's really lovely for a game with round-based respawn.

Why the gently caress does joining during the drone phase in casual not let you spawn? It's loving stupid. e; while I'm at it, since Thatcher basically makes Twitch completely pointless, shock drones should be able to jump and she should get two of them.

ghetto wormhole posted:Just make the laser a thin black wire instead. That's why Frost is so good. Her traps are easy to spot if you're looking but easy to miss if you're being careless. Kapkan's traps are just like HAY GUYS DON"T TOUCH ME I'M RIGHT HERE!!! That, or make the laser visible only in a cloud of smoke/through IQ's X-ray device and let people rely on the spike to spot it. But yeah, with Frost's beartraps in the game, Kapkan's traps are especially bad.
