The last time I played squad in discord had a guy who published the squad's ranking stats in the channel and then commented on how low some of the numbers were, then in game would get exasperated and criticize people's plays whenever someone died / we lost.

There's a lot of cool folks who are fun to play with on there but I'm starting to feel more and more selective when joining a group rather than just hopping in the first spot available. Game can be stressful enough as it is

You could at least skim the OP, you know

One thing that seems rather common sense, but I see a lot of goons who are "Bad at looting" or take forever to find even a pistol so maybe folks don't get it.

Loot is random, the spots are not. The same house layouts have the same loots spawns in the same places. A 2 story south side house in Pochinki takes ~25 seconds to fully check the loot spots.

Open the one door and peek, no need to walk in if there is no loot. Only place I can think that you really need to enter to back check as loot is behind the open door is Military base Barracks.

Edit: Also, get good at what things are by looking at them. Don't walk up to a quickdraw and mouse over to see what it is. They LOOK different than extended mags on the ground.

Those are both the wrong way to resolve it. Hit x to put your gun away and you can med. No noise and no inventory loving. They mentioned fixing it soon.

Also, push 8 for med kits. don't open your drat inventory to heal.

I can move if I use inventory but I can't if I use the shortcuts. Taking my hand off the movement keys seems like a bad idea in the middle of a fight.

I don't take my hands off the movement keys to do this. Just pivot and use my thumb. I really disagree with opening inventory in a fight. All visual is covered with the overlay.

Here's my second win of the day, this one's a lot better imo - though I did have some more luck (particularly the pan hit on the 4th kill), the 5th guy was a doofus, the 6th kill was just weird all around and I nearly hosed up the 8th.I experimented with making a few of the clips a little longer as per GFY's request and please note that I did see the 10th kill at 6:16!

Good aim, great positioning, but your biggest luck come from loving idiots going prone after being shot and sitting still so you can line up Kar98 shots. NEVER STOP MOVING IDIOTS.

but all but two of them were about to shoot at me, at which point you would have to sit still for a second.

Not really true, don't fall into that trap. Lining up a sniper sure, but you can wiggle and still hit at medium range AR engagements.

I also counted the bridge guy as a prone just looking at you like a dumbass.

If you're shooting a target moving perpendicular who is not aiming at you yes 100%.

I wouldn't say every engagement needs to be done one way, but sitting still to line up a shot on someone using a sniper is a great way to get domed.


edit:

Parallel Playa posted:

Yeah, that guy was dumb. I'm not sure how I feel about wiggling in a medium-range firefight. The recoil definitely isn't as forgiving in a similar situation in CSGO and I feel it's almost worse when you wiggle than when you just strafe in one direction. I get pretty good results standing still and taking my time to aim for a headshot as soon as I see someone wiggling.


Oh, one more thing I wanted to point out on your vid. THANK YOU for not taking maybe shots and waiting for good shots. Too many people take a half assed body shot and then get into fight they lose as opposed to making sure they are going to nail someone in the head.

literally this big posted:

Goddam do the circles make solo virtually unplayable. Vehicles are the new meta, if you don't find one you're hosed. In team games, at least you have four players to spot vehicles from the air, find vehicles on the ground, and pick up gas cans, and even then, far too many games end in circle-loving. In solo, you can only cover a fraction of the ground, and if you're not on the one-third of the island that the first circle forms around, you may as well just quit to the lobby right then and there and try to find a better game. What's the point of having a 2km x 2km map if the circle immediately forms over <50% of it, and you have to spend the whole game sprinting across fields to try to beat the blue?

A). Don't drop on the coast unless you are dropping Mil base/Novo or George. Lipovka, Zharki, and Severny all suck. Primorsk is meh. Most of these do have car spawns, or roads nearby.
B). LOTS of cars spawn. Learn where to look. It's really easy to run along a road and find one eventually.
C). Plan ahead. If you're circle hosed, start looking for cars in smart spots at 2 minutes. Don't wait until the blue is on you.


Solo is the best mode. Just drop school/Rozhok/Pochinki.

The wrongest opinion. Primorsk has plenty of good poo poo.

Dude was bitching about car spawns. Primorsk is fun loot wise, not fun car spawn wise. I have gotten caught having to run when squad battles cause the blue to bleed into overtaking us.

Most times there is a boat though, but that is not always helpful.

Lol, Nah man. You're misunderstanding. If I kill someone and they just respawn, they don't get as mad as if they have to start a new game.

Get a gun, kill a man. Take his gun, kill a man. Take his gun.

You can hide all you want. I want to hunt people. I want to make people upset they died. You can think all you want, but this thread and many others like it prove, people get mad when they die in this game. I want to be the one killing them.

I will take 100 10 kill games ending at 45 before I ever want a 1 kill win. I've won a ton of games, winning doesn't matter if you can't hunt people.

Edit:To your point, you play the game hide and seek, and I'll play the game guns. I will be better looted than you if we both end up in the top 10 though.

yeah but he will probably end up in the top 10 way more often. and thusly have a higher elo. the game values survival way more than kills. so it's really a choice of sacrificing one fake number to pump up another fake number.

That was my point. He was the one that said go play BF1 if you want to play guns.

If you're the kind of person that gets seriously upset when you're killed in a video game, and I mean rage beyond the simple "ah gently caress!

I can't stomach the playstyle of perpetual hiding. It is incredibly boring. I'm gonna drop school and I'm gonna kill a few fighting my way out or die trying. Usually what happens afterwards is that the blue catches up to me and I get sniped in the back. I pretty much loathe the part of the game where you just desperately outrun the blue only to die tired soon after.

Plan ahead. I'm not trying to be rude, but you have a long time between dropping and that first circle if you are outside of it. Say to yourself,

"I am way outside a circle, I did not spot a car while parachuting in town. I need to leave town at 2 min on the timer and run down this road that I know spawns cars along"

If that means you loot for 2 minutes and all you are running out with is a shotgun and a pistol, that's all you have. find that car and find a new place to loot.

If you only have a shotty, crash a complex in the circle and either hope you can shotgun a guy and take his stuff, or it's unlooted and you can loot that.

If you have an AR and a 4x but are low on bullets, park on the edge and wait for people on foot from heavy concentrated areas and shoot them in the blue.

Learn to disengage from stalemates in order to not get hosed by the circle. Don't fight with a guy for 2 minutes if it means you both are going to be 2k from the circle with 0 left on the timer.
