I've noticed something peculiar about my really successful (Winning, 7+ kills) runs.

Is the M16 considered a better rifle than the others? I've had a ton more success with it compared to the M4, AKM or SCAR.

Even fully tricked out SCARs and M4s seem to fail me in critical moments, not sure why this is. I'm not particularly skilled in modern day shooters like this. (Am at 50 hours of playtime, leading distant targets is still janky and difficult)

Also, I want to moan about how little damage the revolver seems to do per second compared to the other pistols. I want that thing to be a death cannon, baby.

Kinda wish I enabled shadowplay so I could catch moments in solo such as:

Less than 10 people left and I use my motorcycle to fly off an invisible rock into the tree line, dismount 20 feet up in the air before it slams into a tree, and shotgun someone in the face before I land and break my legs.

Now that I type it out it sounds absolutely impossible and absurd.

So is there a faster way to drop other than pointing directly down and holding W? People drop a solid two seconds faster than me routinely. It's infuriating.

I'm just going to avoid all the cities and go for the stupid houses out in the middle of nowhere.

I think the same system was used in R6: Siege, and that did a terrible job.

Go drop in some medium zones like pochinki, gatka, shooting range, stabler, prison to get into some early combat to get out of your funk.
Also, stop looting after you get some basic gear and just go hunting fools. If you're on the offensive you can surprise quite a lot of players.

Players like me who wait for the circle to shrink and then jump out of a blood soaked house to find a player prone waiting for me for like 8 minutes.

Performed a colossal fuckup. Queued into squads solo, got 18 frags, 4 remain. 1v3 no big deal right? Kitted out, Level 3s, SKS and M4 hot and ready. Roll up on one guy, turns out I still had SKS out from my last fight instead of my M4 death machine.

Got shredded. gently caress.

Won a duos game tho, 9 frags, it ended on the north side of Stalber, of all places. So every battle at the end was on the slope o' the mountain. The last couple groups were prone all over the place, it's a marvel how they missed so much and let us live. Slammed a kar98 shell into someone's helmet from 5 meters away, that made me giggle.

Very good games on the 15th.

I'd laugh if anyone prominent got busted for anything aim related as a cheat, it's way too obvious. If you got a few brain cells you can hide a wallhack real well. That intel in a shooter is all you need, and no one will be the wiser.

VulgarandStupid posted:

We've already discussed this and it's literally an advertisement for cheats. WG is short for "selling cheats" and qun is a URL shortening thing, similar to something like bitly or tinyurl. They specifically target the NA Solo leaderboards since anyone who wants to look at their own stats has to see NA Solo, as it's the first one that pops up. If you re-ordered the regions alphabetically, they'd be less inclined to cheat on NA and hopefully stay more on AS.

I always figured it was something like a internet cafe name? Dunno why I'm surprised. Clever stuff.

drat shame it came to this though. Shooter games have become increasingly easy to develop cheats for. Or rather, the amount of people who will actually pay to cheat in a multiplayer game has risen enough to bring demand to this point. It ain't even remotely in the shadows anymore.

The one way fence thing tho, that's wild. I thought I've run into this once but dismissed it as a visual glitch and I missed a lot. Goodness gracious.

The blue zone should be a physical barrier. That way if you can't find a car you just get pushed to the new circle anyways. Also the blue circle will move you so fast at times that you will take damage from colliding into buildings and trees.

Are there some fog tricks? I think I was on the receiving end of something that let people see through fog clearer.

Teammates telling me that they're dead center in my screen, get fuckin blasted without seeing a shape. I guess it's possible they were prone.

7 kills in a fog solo game, what a heart pounder. Had to go hunting for all the cowardly snakes in the grass.

Had zero kills coming out of a 2~2.5km drop from power, and stalked a guy for two whole circles. Amazed it paid off.

Since hits are client side would the cover even block shots? Whenever I had that bug where stuff didn't render in I could shoot people behind cover most of the time.

The cover is still there physically, it looks like it just screws with LOD, which overly simplified translation is if really far away objects render at x distance. Looks like they just turn it to like, 50 meters or something instead of the standard...1000? For example. If you scope in you'd see the cover pop into view all of a sudden.

Probably makes it absolute hell for driving with trees and rocks popping up everywhere instantly.

Guessing all this will get patched real soon with the test serv update.

Weird argument to make since they just whipped this title up and it became the #1 most played game on the PC. Hilarious to think about. They got more money than they know what to do with, with zero real roadmap. I don't think tracking revenue is as nearly a big concern to them as logistics.

Are the fpp servers still completely random matchmaking? I just played a top ten round with 5 kills but I had three rounds leading up to it with 0 kills and I'm trying to figure out if the fourth game was just luck or if I essentially pushed myself down into the tard bracket with those other games.

You know honestly I'm really wondering if there's any MM at all. One game I'm in with a bazillion idiots, then the next I'm falling to DrDisrespect. Very large descrepancy in general between my games. I'm at 200 hours. So I'm still fairly new to the subgenre of battle royale. read: I'm not great, but there's PLENTY of data for it to tell me to not be matched with ppl who play this for a living on stream, you dig?

The idea that there's the same people queuing up with streamers and reliably getting in the same exact games over and over despite said streamers / good players getting a dozen kills and the stream snipers dying real soon adds credence to this.

I think it's mostly random, there's loose MM. But it's not NEARLY as strict as ranked MM in multiple other modern shooters.
