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:

what really? I go into Thunt to test the guns out, that's pretty bad if the recoil is actually different.

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.

Wait, will I have controller recoil if I even have the controller plugged in but not 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.

There's zero difference between Uplay and Steam versions beyond having the Steam overlay; you have to find/join people through Uplay even with the Steam version.

Echo being 3 armor sort of makes him a meh pick for me, to be honest. The fact that you can't shoot the drone unless it's a) jumped and b) jumped in a room with a specific ceiling height (meaning you can't jump it in larger atrium areas) also negates much of its advantages with cloaking.

The MP5SD is great but not 'deprive yourself of a potential c4 or gadget operator' great.

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.

EU consistently is better than US at any competitive PC FPS. That was so 15 years ago, and continues to be now. 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.

IIRC they changed voices to be team only at some point. They weren't originally but they are now. Nearly all other sounds are audible to both teams though including any shuffling you do when you spin around or ADS or whatever.

That was a Skull Rain or Dust Line change if I remember right. You'll still hear reinforcement shouting on opposing teams but that's it.

The microphone is definitely broken in siege. I've had countless people in-game complain about mic issues. There was a guy in the old thread who emailed the manufacturer of his headset and they replied saying it's a problem with siege. Sometimes it doesn't recognise the mic, sometimes the mic volume is too low. It's a problem.

That was me; I have the exact same headphone as Hard. Using the USB DAC means that mic output volume is low as gently caress and there's no real way to increase it in game.

IQ's gadget being blue on white or white on blue (I rarely use it TBH) plus drones showing up makes it a massive pain in the rear end, yes. Daytime maps especially you're going to have a hard time actually seeing objects because of how bright the lighting is.

Here is my completely scientific and totally factual guide on how to fire each shotgun in the game starting with my favorite:

Saiga (Russian Ops): don't ADS, just dump.
Super90 (Frost): Both, just dump.
Master Key (Buck): Don't ADS, just dump. Also not recommended for killing.
M1014 (FBI OPS): Don't ADS, just dump.
CQB (GIGN OPS): ADS, be on their nuts before firing.
M590 (SAS OPS): ADS, be on their nuts before firing.
M870 (GSG9 OPS): Don't ADS, just dump.
SPAS12 (Val): ADS, just dump.
SPAS15 (Cav): Both, just dump.
Supernova (Kawaii desu OPS): ADS, be on their nuts before firing.

I hope this helps.

The Supernova is a definite oddity in the game so far because it's doing semi-auto damage with a pump action fire rate. So you're sort of doubly screwed, though there is the SMG to fall back on.

It's normally decent but since Skull Rain vertical propagation is hosed; you'll hear stuff on floors above as on your floor. The new map highlights this more than any of the others.

Apparently 5.56mm guns fall into two camps for bullet penetration/destruction. M249 and Type 89 have the highest destruction model and can easily blow open walls; they're in the same tier as weapons using 7.62mm.

Guns like the 556xi (aka Thermite's shittastic AR) have the same penetration model as the P90 and the MP7.

Speaking of spawn killing, was anything done about the lovely Christmas trees spawn on Kafe?

Bank's spawns are probably the only ones that people can basically instantly get headshot before they can react; even knowing somebody is going to be popping out of the front door doesn't mean you can meaningfully either get out of the way or ADS before you're dead.

(To a lesser extent you can get murked by people running out of the tower on the tunnel spawn but that guy will never make it back in alive)
