I also forgot Kapkan, who has the choice of an auto shotty (great!) and his SMG had insanely good iron sights, so you dont need to splurge on a red dot.
Glaz also is quite good. It's like they purposely made no bad Russian operators. :tinfoil:

Tachanka's turret is basically a death trap that will sometimes get you one kill, and anyone who dies to a Kapkan trap is a certifiable retard. Their guns are really good at least.
I agree, but premise that opponent is not great thus far proves to be rather reliable.

I think the servers are currently having a bit of a fit? People dropping from games left and right and i'm having trouble staying connected at all. Wasen't this way last night so maybe they are doing something to them?
Looks like it. I gave into buying the game and they swapped the beta servers back in so my friends went to sleep and I feel assfucked over $30.

I suspect that there may be hitbox issues, but we can't know for sure until they show us them or until someone cracks the client open.

Gross. Hopefully they'll increase the tickrate but this puts more strain on the servers.

Until then I'm not buying.
Tick rate unfortunately is not the holy grail of multiplayer issues, and packet inspection does suggest that it may not be the principal issue here.

Works especially well in the Airplane level where its so linear they have no option but to disable or trigger it.
Problem is that you can destroy the deployable shield.

True, I don't know about you but if there's a deployable shield I don't worry about destroying it because explosives are limited and I'm not going to waste it on some shield in a doorway. I can confirm we got at least one person with this trick, happened on Airplane, I set up a shield in a doorway and someone put a trap behind it (not purposely trying to deceive the opponent afaik) and it ended up getting the last kill in the round.
I slightly misread your original post, no pretensions here until, and if, it becomes 'meta'. :tipshat:

Okay, working my way through the Situations and, surprise surprise, I am very bad at this game. Got through the first two on Realistic, but then I had to bump it down to Normal for the next two. Not even going to attempt online yet. Kinda regretting unlocking Glaz since "long range" isn't really a big thing in this game. Also because I'm still bad.

Still having fun though. Just gotta adjust those twitch shooter instincts some more.
Beating anything on Realistic puts you above half of the playerbase, don't sweat it.

And at one point (maybe still?) some companies were basing developer pay bonuses on metacritic scores and such IIRC.

"[Fallout: New Vegas] was a straight payment, no royalties, only a bonus if we got an 85+ on Metacritic, which we didn't," Avellone wrote. If you're a fan of New Vegas, or of people getting paid well for hard work, this admission is made more poignantly gloomy by the fact that it reached an 84, just one point away from the extra compensation. The bonus was likely a big deal for Obsidian, considering that the developer doesn't see one cent on a per sale basis.

I could care less about reviews and meta titis rating I love the game ask anyone on CTS I've played with, which weirdly I don't think me and you have yet? Anyways having good reviews gets us more players because people, especially goons read that poo poo and play games based off of it.
I didn't claim that your (dis-)enjoyment with this, or any other games, is based on any reviews. That comment was more of flyby thought on the issue, addressing no one in particular, unless there are lurkers of a religious belief prohibiting to play games with non-perfect review scores. AS for whether if we have played, we're in each other's friend lists on Uplay, and we played in the early closed beta, together with SilentAlfa I believe.

Mine most played operators so far are Ash and Castle, but I have played just a few hours as of yet and I have unlocked just 5 operators total, since I can't find time to do the situations the way I want to do them, and since I prioritise getting all the guns the way I want over unlocking the operators.

It basically boils down if you just want to dick around with guns or if you'd prefer mindfully playing instead.

Orv posted:

You can play mindfully without dealing with people taking it too seriously or an hour long queue followed by an hour long match.
Yes, but, in my experience, it is easier to meet other people who want to play mindfully when you play ranked. Since release I haven't spent more than 5 minutes in queueing for a ranked game, nor have I had matches longer than 25 or so minutes. Casual, on the other hand, very rarely delivers a satisfactory game since half of your and enemy teams are literally seeing game for the first time, while rest of the players refuse to communicate and leave the match once they die.

I unlocked Montagne early, and regretted it. Blitz gets the flashbang shield, Fuze gets the option to not take his shield at all if you just want his gadget and more guns. But Montagne... I don't get him. All he can do is make himself into a wall that can't even shoot.

Help me out here, explain to me why people would choose this operator, and how he would be useful. So far I only play terrorist hunt, and I imagine he's more a PVP thing, but I cannot see any reason to ever take this dude.
He turns shield on and walks into the room, rest shoots from behind. Easy victory.

Montagne is easily the best of shield operators for PvP.
