So this game doesn't play nice with triple monitors at all. Every other game all 3 of my screens go black for 15-30 seconds, and then when they come back the game has closed itself.

It sounds like your CPU and or GPU is maxed out

I'm torn between playing it safe and hiding from everyone (which usually lets me score higher) and playing aggressively, dropping into cities and going for kills (which I feel is probably helping me get better at weapon handling and muscle memory for movement).

"Git gud" is hard.

I like to go full aggro early game because pubbies have no idea what to do when you're pushing them with a shotty or a m16 on burst. I just finished a round where I dropped on the roof of the admin building at the jail, found an m16, let the pubbies kill each other then shot the two remaining ones and got all their sweet loot. Made it to top ten with this pro Strat until some dick dying in the blue zon shot me in the back from 300m away

the only reason i care about unlocks is so i can get camo or nature colored clothing to make hiding in bushes easier.

or for $0.75 you can just buy them unless you want the drat trenchcoat that increases your hitbox

Could go the battlefield route and have vastly different gravities for projectiles (literally bullet trajectories can have gravity double that of Earth to simulate the drop they want)

It definitely feels more realistic going this route and from a programming perspective it makes more sense to give each type of projectile its own gravity to simulate weight since trying to do a calculation of how a bullet falls because it weighs x while traveling at 1100m/s seems like way more CPU time

I really really like the m416 with a suppressor/compensator and vertical foregrip with a 4x. Great for surprise closeups on auto and great for long range sniping

I have never had it and the m16 at the same time to compare though

The UMP is great for early game then after killing enough dudes you can usually get pretty geared up and find all the parts you need (aka at least an AR compensator for your M16 with a 4x and ext. quickdraw)

I can concede this point but it still kinda dings the M16's usefulness some if you can kill a dude that has one decked out with an UMP

maybe they have all that poo poo on a SCAR or M416 but still, if you're killing dudes like that it speaks volumes on how good the UMP really is, it punches way above its weight

It really does, the only close range gun I prefer for earlygame city fights is the 686 because doubletapping some scared pubbie running around looking for a pistol just feels so good

Everytime I have a shotgun I try and kill someone and hit them 3 times and by then they end up killing me... But if someone else has a shotgun I get 1 tapped. I loving hate this game.

Hoo boy. That vector seems like it has a super high ROF and tight grouping. If it has the same damage per shot as the 1911 it will likely be OP as gently caress in early game.


I wish I could say that this has only happened to me once. :ughh:

Luckily it appears to be nearly impossible to find in the early game (or at least as rare as a Kar)

Wait did he teleport players from elsewhere to right in front of him then shoot them in the head? or does it only teleport their positions to him then he can shoot them hence why there are no boxes

Why the hell is so much stuff going on clientside that it can work like that :psyduck:

Party Plane Jones posted:

One of the ways ARMA/DayZ hackers finally lost teleport hacks was because the game was continually transmitting to the master server (it had to update pretty much constantly so you couldn't alt-f4 in combat) the anticheat code would piggyback onto that. So for teleports it would just check your current position against your previous position and if you were moving too fast to be plausible in the game, it would kick you out.

Of course, when this was introduced, they forgot the game had helicopters at one point. When they put helicopters back in the game, the anticheat would kick people out of the server because the speed at which the helicopter travelled triggered the antiteleport mechanic.

When they would spawn into the server again, it would keep their last known altitude data, but they wouldn't have a parachute. So they'd spawn in midair and fall to their deaths.

why do people get so nervous in regards to killing poo poo it's not that hard tbh

just kill them before they can get away is my esports tip of the day

i think its mostly people who dont know how to choose fights, like they're remembering that one time they attacked that single dude (while standing in the middle of a field and the dude is behind a wall) and they got slaughtered and they dont get it it was 2v1!!!

so instead they hide in buildings at the top of stairs with a shotgun aimed at the door while prone

I played H1z1 before it was split and I mostly played just survive so it's kind of funny to me that H1z1 is now the arcade br instead of the tacticool thing it was trying to be originally

Dumb question but is there a list of controls? I've seen people talk about holding breath, aiming down ironsights, etc. but can't seem to find how to do that and going in the options isn't showing anything obvious.

shift = hold breath while ADS
right click = ADS
hold right click = hip fire/half ads/zoom whatever you wanna call it
