There's a bunch of rooms (in the new loving map even) where the ceiling texture makes it impossible to see through. There's at least one room with fake leaves on the ceiling paneling that makes it impossible to see through.cinci zoo sniper posted:Likewise, shooting from the ground would be too much as well - Echo would just corner-spam through the drone hole or some props in the room in question. See, the thing is having to use the jump to fire off means you can't do the opposite of twitch drones; IE go out of drone holes and kill the charge being emplaced. Would force people to pay attention at least. Party Plane Jones fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Dec 6, 2016 |

i have been having really good luck with Tachanka by placing the gun on the objective in the prep phase and letting a drone spot it then move it to the front loving door of the house and killing a couple ppl with it for many laughs.

A slow op that has a pretty good defensive ability that rewards team play vs roaming and you don't like him? Color me shocked.

Echo is really powerful for area denial if you are doing it right. I hit the enemy with it, then immediately detach from ceiling and reposition it before hitting them again. Unless they get pretty lucky they don't find it and end up just living with it and dying, or abandoning the entire area. Also if you aren't taking the shotgun for your secondary weapon you are missing out on some utility. You can make your own drone holes.

I've been teamed up with enough people that 1v1, 30 seconds left, they switch to their pistol and try to tacticool takedown the intelligently armed opposition. Like their gun is too long and they don't want it to get caught on anything.

I heard something about S4 weapons not being taken into accounts when it comes to challenges. It's been a while like back when Red Crow launched so could have been fixed but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't like stated above.slap me and kiss me posted:This appears to be some sort of big post on how ranks are calculated.

No matter what the statistical numbers say, in Season 3 I maybie saw a total of two players that werent worth being diamond in my oppinion and everyone worked his rear end off to achieve it. In Season 4, I can roflstomp whole diamond teams. Bragging rights means nothing this season.

Maybe Para is so good that all the other diamonds are nothing in comparison to him? He needs to be Diamond 2.

0.5% are diamond. Para: Bragging rights means nothing. Intuition over stats and facts. You sound like my girlfriend Para  e: I guess what I'm saying is, Para you're genuinely really good at this dumb game. Might alter your perception. That or EU are bad because we can still get hosed while playing against plats in US. Hard fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Dec 6, 2016 |

We have 750 million population with overall Internet infrastructure significantly better than any given US state or Canadian province, hence at equal game popularity levels Europeans can practice far more than Americans do, and they don't have to fight the infrastructure in the process. Counterpoint: every time I've played on the EU servers we've absolutely crushed them.

Fair enough, Pokemon is one thing I certainly didn't consider, having never played any of the games, nor known any who has. Nor have I really seen a handheld console in these parts anywhere in the past decade. Looking at the sales figures for it, the game is selling 6 times worse in Europe than in the US, so I am not really surprised. Either way, major games from modern franchises owned by non-Japanese publishers do tend come out on the same day more often than not, across the three major non-handheld platforms.
