I'm having a fun time with this barely working 30days of ubisoft website. How the gently caress is a company supposed to host a service for millions of customers when they can't get a loving webpage that lets you download jpgs everyday to work properly.

When the storefront was having its discount problems half a week ago (where they applied the discount twice so games were 90% off) I tried buying one of the Batman games.

Never got the game, but I do currently have 7 pending charges of $3.40 from Ubisoft for nothing on my bank statement. :allears:

I'm reminded of it everytime it tried to make me log in to play Halo 2 PC and how I won't get achievements without it. Also remember buying Fallout 3 on Steam, then having to go through GFWL and not being able to view the games page because I was under 18 at the time.

Is there any way once and for all I can see the actual differences between the muzzle brake, compensator, and flash hider without undergoing the arduous task of equipping them in t hunt and then just trying to remember the difference?

I have seen this as well, but without any conclusive proofs. Some "pro" players appear to be practising aim on t-hunt, so it ought to be good enough to check the pattern difference.

Hey Hard, can you pass the message along to those responsible that I love the Uplay weekly challenges? I can't really put my finger on why, I just really love completing them and I love the little shield charm I got this week.

And also a thank you to everyone there because Siege got me over my competitive shooter anxiety and now I love the poo poo out of single-life matches with really clutch plays.

The recoil isn't different for T-Hunt, however if you use a controller it'll give you controller recoil until you stop using it.

When you touch a controller, it'll kill the pc recoil settings and put the controller ones on. When you move your mouse it switches back. So long as your controller doesn't have a drift problem it should be using PC.

TBH the only thing pc players use the controller for is the ability to control drone crawling.

Glad you like the reward man, i personally wish the challenges were a bit more diverse than kill X but hey theres more important things out there.

I doubt you'll find a post coming from me that tries to ignore or defend issues. ( I've seen what happened in the Wildstar thread)
You won't see me break NDA either.

I'm here to talk about a game that i love, post public info and make sure whatever hosed up poo poo you guys got are properly logged in our database.

I also got a pretty thick skin considering the amount of poo poo this thread can get and that 1/3 of the replies are ''Hard this game should be like [X]''

but If anyone wants the thread and plan on updating it really be my guest.

The only challenge I found annoying was the Gadget/Melee kills, because I just never get them. People know by now to run the gently caress away from C4. Impact nades get you killed if you use them in straight combat. And I can count on 0 fingers the numbers of times I've gotten an honest to god melee kill.

God I am so awful at this game. There's way too many games where I go 0 kills 3-5 deaths for this to be enjoyable. People are just way quicker on the draw.

Caveira or Kapkan, ( if they fixed it), or nade ops on ATK. Also if you get ''safe'' dbno s try to get the kill as melee.

As for trades a lot of it is prediction, keep you crosshair at head level and even pre fire if youre not going to stealth. If you encounter someone close-mid range, start shooting hipfire while transitioning to ADS.

Don't kick yourself too hard, you were doing fine the times i played with you man, one day it'll just click.

Throw all your placement matches in ranked; you'll get placed into matches with really terrible players more reliably than in 'casual'.

This test is extremely flawed imo. Especially the full auto test.


Comparing mag dumps of two magazines is like testing accuracy by shooting a group of only two bullets. It just isn't a worthwhile measurement. Geez, these 2 wild lines of bullet holes intersected at one point that means accuracy is good, right?

As for burst fire test, one of the only guns I would use the muzzle break on is blackbeards SCAR, which this dude has picked the compensator as best on. He does these 4 shot burst test, which is ok because two mags of those burst is a good group to go on.
The SCAR specifically is super accurate with the muzzle break for three bullets. Bullet 2 and 3 barely recoils and group slightly above the first, but bullet number 4 recoils pretty badly and veer off to the sides. Going by that 4th bullet, yes, the muzzle break groups badly. But if you did 3 shot burst it would easily be the best.

Hard what are the chances of there being a reduction in how "sticky" objective and team markers are, like when you're trying to aim at something and they haven't faded away? It's a bummer when a yellow diamond gets in your way and it feels like it happens frequently enough to notice.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Yeah, I don't agree with most of the conclusions, but the footage is still good. Gives a relatively decent idea of how the gun behaves if you aren't ingame atm.
